  Distribution and Yield Gap of Ramie Production in China During 2001-2016 2019, 9 (10):  6-12.  DOI: 10.11923/j.issn.2095-4050.cjas18070031 Abstract + ( 443 )   PDF ( 1439KB )   ( 475 ) To improve ramie production and narrow its yield gap, data from national statistics and 40 counties surveyed by China Agriculture Research System for Bast and Leaf Fiber Crops were studied. After reviewing the changes in production distribution and yield dynamics, yield gap and its driving factors were analyzed. The results showed that: (1) during 2001-2016, the planting area of ramie decreased but the production distribution was optimized, the ramie production region shifted from the middle reaches to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and shifted from plain-lake area to mountain area; (2) besides improving ramie yield per unit area, the gap between actual farm yield and potential farm yield was widening, still, the ways of improving yield was depended on labor and production means, narrowing the yield gap would increase the total output by 29.1% at current planting area; (3) the development modes varied in different regions, and policies were important driving force of the industry. For a sustainable development of ramie production, we suggest that: industry of multi-use ramie should be enhanced in response to the decreasing planting area; planting techniques should be simplified for narrowing yield gap; reducing labor and material input should be critical aspects for developing farming skills in the future.

The specific application method is: during fruit enlargement period (fruit size of 5 mm), spraying selenium-enriched organic fertilizer at 1500 mL/hm2 with 450 kg water evenly on plum leaves, and spraying 1 more time after 15 days. The method can stabilize and improve the production benefits of selenium- enriched plums, and promote the targeted poverty alleviation in plum producing areas such as hilly regions and mountainous areas.

  Eeffects of Two Top Pruning on Growth of Young Mother Trees in Orchard of Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica 2019, 9 (10):  42-47.  DOI: 10.11923/j.issn.2095-4050.cjas19040017 Abstract + ( 375 )   PDF ( 1295KB )   ( 359 ) Effects of two kinds of top pruning on the growth of young mother trees in orchard of Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica were studied to provide a theoretical management basis. The young mother trees of P. sylvestris var. mongolica in Yulin, Shaanxi Province were selected as the research object, and they were pruned by top 2- wheeled branches (L2) and top 3-wheeled branches (L3). The effects of the two top pruning methods L2 and L3 on 7 growth indices of tree height, ground diameter, crown width, under crown height, clear bole height, annual branch length, biennial branch length, sprout number of young of P. sylvestris var. mongolica were studied. The results showed that both L2 and L3 inhibited the growth of tree height of young trees of P. sylvestris var. mongolica. They obviously promoted the growth of ground diameter and crown width of the young trees of P. sylvestris var. mongolica. The order of annual branch length and biennial branch length of L2, L3 and control group was L3> L2> control group. Top pruning methods L2 had no significant effect on annual branch length and biennial branch length. Top pruning methods L3 had no significant effect on annual branch length but had significant effect on biennial branch length, and could obviously promote the growth of branch length. Both L2 and L3 had no significant effect on biennial branch length and sprout number of young P. sylvestris var. mongolica. In conclusion, the two top pruning methods have different effects on the growth of young mother trees, and L3 is more suitable for the management of young mother trees of P. sylvestris var. mongolica.

  The Combined Pot Culture in Beijing and Hohhot: A Study 2019, 9 (10):  48-52.  DOI: 10.11923/j.issn.2095-4050.cjas18060018 Abstract + ( 354 )   PDF ( 1246KB )   ( 369 ) Using field investigation and questionnaire method to investigate the flower markets and the combined pot culture in public places in Beijing and Hohhot, we aim to provide references for the popularization of combined pot culture and the formation of combined pot culture with Chinese characteristics or regional characteristics. The results show that: common ornamental plants could be used in combined pot culture; on the basis of the investigation and summary of the previous study, combined pot culture are divided into 29 categories; the container’s material quality, form and shape are very diverse; the adornments include natural one and artificial one, but their application are limited. The results of questionnaire survey also show that consumers of the combined pot culture in Beijing and Hohhot are dominated by people of 20-35 years old, who usually prefer the herbaceous plants, showy flowers and succulent plants, and personalized ceramic containers are popular, and the decision to buy combined pot culture is depended on the plant conservation and the price. It is suggested to breed and develop rural flowering shrubs suitable for combined pot culture, strengthen the landscape design, develop convenient wall-mounted containers, and promote the knowledge of plant conservation.

  Sepiolite with Different Particle Sizes: Effects on Removing Heavy Metal Cadmium in Aquaculture Environment Under Experimental Simulation 2019, 9 (10):  53-58.  DOI: 10.11923/j.issn.2095-4050.cjas18060009 Abstract + ( 313 )   PDF ( 1525KB )   ( 398 ) The paper aims to study whether nanometer-grade sepiolite could be used to remove heavy metal cadmium in aquatic environment. Under the condition of a laboratory simulation, we constructed 2 aquatic ecosystems with the exposure levels of Cd 50 μg/L and 100 μg/L respectively, and compared the effects of 2 kinds of sepiolite (common particle size and nanometer size) on the removal of heavy metal cadmium in fishery water and aquatic products. The results showed that: within 10 days, Cd had a bio-concentration process from water body to fish body; we then used the sepiolite powder of 0.03 g/L to sprinkle the water body, and discovered the adsorption removal ability of nanometer sepiolite to Cd was superior to that of common particle size, the adsorption stability was also better; after adsorption removal, the content of Cd in the muscle of edible parts of fish body was lower than that before the treatment (on the 10th day), but it was not significant, and the high concentration treatment group still exceeded the relative standard; although sepiolite especially the nanoparticle size sepiolite could effectively remove Cd in the fishery water, but the bio- concentration and accumulation effect resulted in the non-significant decrease of the Cd content in the fish body. The study suggests that: the Cd polluted water body should be remedied before the start of fishery aquaculture in order to meet the fishery water quality standard, so as to ensure the quality and safety of aquatic products for marketing.

  The Technique and Mechanism of Injury Induction to Inhibit Fresh-cut Potato Browning 2019, 9 (10):  75-83.  DOI: 10.11923/j.issn.2095-4050.cjas19010002 Abstract + ( 351 )   PDF ( 1539KB )   ( 523 ) To solve the browning problem of fresh-cut potatoes usually occurred during shelf-life storage and to develop a new technique with stable effect and simple operation on inhibiting browning, injury induction treatment was applied in the study to prevent the browning of fresh-cut potato. Injury induction treatment was conducted by cutting off surface tissues at the both ends of each potato with cutting or scraping and the condition were 5 °C or 20 °C for 12, 18 or 36 h. Scrape injury induction treatments effectively inhibited the browning of fresh-cut potatoes and the best treatment condition was 20 °C for 18 h, which prolonged the shelf life of fresh-cut potatoes for 4d. Compared with control, injury induction treatment significantly inhibited the activity of PPO, PAL and the content of total phenolics and MDA, increased the activity of SOD, POD and DPPH inhibition rate. The result showed that the injury induction treatment enhanced the antioxidant activity and reduced membrane permeability and lowered the accumulation and enzymatic oxidation of phenolics browning which inhibited the browning of fresh-cut potatoes. The treatment provided a new method to restrain the browning of fresh-cut potatoes during processing and storage.
