滴灌方式及定额对北疆冬灌棉田土壤水盐分布及次年棉花生长的影响

为探寻解决干旱区棉田冬季灌水问题,明晰北疆棉田不同冬灌方式及灌水定额对土壤水分、盐分分布以及翌年棉花生长及产量的影响,采用大田试验方法,以未冬灌大田作为对照(CK),设置滴灌和漫灌2种灌水方式下4个梯度的灌水定额(1 800、2 400、3 000、3 600、 3600 m3/hm²)共9个处理进行冬灌试验,分析了冬灌灌水后到播种前0~300 cm土层的水分、盐分的动态变化以及翌年各处理棉花的出苗率、群体生理指标(群体光合势、群体净同化率、叶面积指数)和产量数据。结果表明,冬灌对次年播前土壤水盐分布及含量的大小均具有一定的影响,无论漫灌还是滴灌方式进行冬灌,随灌水定额增加土壤水分和盐分的影响深度也随之加深,灌水定额达到3 000和3 600 m3/hm²时,冬灌对土壤水盐影响深度可达300 cm。冬灌可显著改变次年播前土壤盐分的自然分布状态,有效淋洗并降低上层土壤盐分含量;相对漫灌方式而言,滴灌冬灌方式土壤水分入渗更加均匀且规律明显。冬灌对次年滴灌棉花的生长发育及产量均具有重要影响,冬灌后次年棉花群体指标与未冬灌处理的差异随冬灌灌水定额的增加愈加显著,灌水定额3 000 m3/hm²滴灌冬灌处理的次年棉花群体光合势与叶面积指数较未冬灌处理分别提升34.30%和42.60%;冬灌有利于次年棉花产量的提高,滴灌冬灌灌水定额3 000、3 600 m3/hm²处理时的棉花产量相对未冬灌处理分别增产10.66%和12.36%。综合考虑冬灌方式及灌水定额对次年土壤水盐分布及棉花生长和产量的影响,研究认为滴灌条件下灌水定额3 000 m3/hm²的冬灌在试验条件下比较适宜,既可淋洗盐分至耕层以下300 cm处,亦可获得6 107.75 kg/hm²的较高产量。     

Vine vigour effects on leaf gas exchange and resource utilisation

Background and Aims: Variability in vine vigour is a commonly observed feature in vineyard blocks. Although this aspect is well recognised among viticulturalists, impacts of vigour variability on vine function and resource use efficiency are seldom considered in management decision-making. This study examined influences of vine vigour variability on vine physiological performance and resource use in a commercially managed vineyard block. Methods and Results: The vineyard block was divided into different vigour zones using plant cell density data derived from aerial multi-spectral imaging of the study block. Gas exchange and under-vine soil moisture status were measured in some of the vigour zones. Low vigour vines had consistently lower photosynthesis and stomatal conductance rates than high vigour vines. The differences were evident both during soil-drying and rewetting. Similarly, irrigation water utilisation was markedly lower in low than in high vigour vines. Vine fruit yield was linearly and positively related to vines' capacity to utilise applied water. Conclusions: Vigour has considerable influence on vine physiological performance and on resource utilisation capacity. Uniform irrigation application to a block with variable vigour (which is the norm currently) leads to spatially inefficient resource use, and consequently to a marked within-block variation in irrigation water productivity. Significance of the Study: The demonstration that variation in vigour has a corresponding effect on resource utilisation has direct relevance for managing vineyard inputs such as irrigation or fertilisers.

Effect of reduced irrigation on growth,yield, ripening rates and water relations of Chardonnay vines grafted to five rootstocks

Background and Aims: In the first decade of the 21st century, drought within the Murray–Darling Basin has reduced the amount of water available for irrigation. We investigated whether the response of vines to reduced irrigation was modified by rootstock. Methods and Results: Reduced irrigation (5 versus 8 ML/(ha·year)) was applied to Chardonnay vines grafted to five rootstocks (Ramsey, 140 Ruggeri, 1103 Paulsen, 110 Richter and K51‐40) for four seasons. It decreased the yield from 29.3 to 26.7 kg/vine, and increased the irrigation water use index (IWUI) from 4.7 to 6.6 t/(ha·ML), but gains in this index declined as the trial progressed. The values of mid‐afternoon leaf water potential were not affected by reduced irrigation, but leaf CO₂ assimilation declined from 13.1 to 11.7 µmol/(m²·s). These effects were independent of rootstock. Reduced irrigation did not increase soil salinity (ECe) or vine tissue Na and Cl concentrations. Vines on Ramsey and 1103 Paulsen rootstocks had higher yields, 32.2 and 30.0 kg/vine, respectively, and the highest IWUIs, 5.9 and 5.5 t/(ha·ML). In two of the three seasons, reducing irrigation did not affect the rates of ripening (°Brix/growing degree days) excepting vines on 1103 Paulsen. Ripening rates varied by 1.5‐fold between seasons. Conclusion: The yield and growth responses of Chardonnay vines to a 35% reduction in irrigation were not modified by rootstock. Significance of the Study: Reducing irrigation did not lead to a build‐up of soil salts. The response of vines to reduced irrigation on rootstocks rated as having good drought tolerance was the same as that for vines on a rootstock rated as having poor drought tolerance.

Dependence of wine sensory attributes on vine water status

The dependence of wine sensory attributes on the water status of the source vines was determined following vineyard irrigation treatments which included early and late season water deficits and continually irrigated vines. In both seasons, the experimental wines made from the different irrigation treatments did not differ in the concentration of residual sugar or ethanol, titratable acidity, or pH. The concentrations of anthocyanins and total soluble phenolics in the wines were greater from water deficit treatments than from continually irrigated vines. For sensory evaluation, a novel protocol for paired comparisons was developed to test separately for differences in wine appearance, flavour, taste and aroma; differences were detected for each wine comparison. In both seasons, continually irrigated wine differed from early and late season water deficit wine, and early season water deficit wine differed from late season water deficit wine in appearance, flavour, taste and aroma. The sensory differences were not attributable to differences in vine yield or fruit maturity. When professional wine tasters were sampled using similar tests, a majority was able to detect visual but not flavour differences between a selected pair of wines. It is concluded that, where vine water status can be altered, irrigation offers a means to manipulate wine sensory characteristics in the vineyard.     

Reduced irrigation and rootstock effects on vegetative growth,yield and its components,and leaf physiological responses of Shiraz

Background and Aims: The study investigated whether rootstocks can modify grapevine responses to reduced irrigation. Methods and Results: Drip-irrigated Shiraz vines on eight rootstocks were subjected to industry standard and 30% reduced irrigation regimes over four seasons. Reducing irrigation decreased pruning weights and yield, but did not consistently affect irrigation water use index (IWUI). It increased leaf Δ¹³C. Reduced irrigation and elevated vapour pressure deficit (VPD) were associated with decreases in leaf water potential (ψ_l), leaf stomatal conductance and assimilation rate. Reducing irrigation raised leaf transpiration efficiency, whereas elevated VPD lowered it. These effects of reduced irrigation were independent of rootstock. Vines grafted to 101-14 had a higher ψ_l and achieved the highest yield and IWUI. The yields of vines grafted to Ramsey, Schwarzmann and 140 Ruggeri were also high. Vines grafted to 101-14, Ramsey and 1103 Paulsen had the higher rates of leaf assimilation. Rootstock did not affect Δ¹³C. Conclusion: The gain in leaf transpiration efficiency caused by reducing irrigation was not associated with a gain in IWUI. Rootstocks 101-14, Ramsey, Schwarzmann and 140 Ruggeri achieved higher yields and IWUI under both standard and reduced irrigation regimes. Significance of the Study: Among grafted vines growing on saline soil but receiving non-saline irrigation water and subject to a 30% reduction in irrigation, the yield responses of vines grafted on rootstocks rated as having good drought tolerance were the same as those of vines grafted on rootstocks rated as having poor drought tolerance.     

Effect of pre‐ and post‐veraison water deficit on proanthocyanidin and anthocyanin accumulation during Shiraz berry development

Background and Aims: Water deficit is known to influence berry development as well as flavonoid metabolism. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of pre‐ and post‐veraison water stress on the proanthocyanidin and anthocyanin accumulation on berry samples selected at comparable physiological maturity, especially after veraison while avoiding sugar influence. Methods and Results: Three irrigation treatments were applied by a drip irrigation system on three rows of 30 vines from an experimental Shiraz vineyard. Pre‐veraison water stress had no effect on total proanthocyanidin accumulation but increased accumulation of all anthocyanins except malvidin and p‐coumaroylated derivatives, whereas post‐veraison water stress enhanced the overall anthocyanin biosynthesis, particularly malvidin and p‐coumaroylated derivatives. Conclusions: Pre‐ and post‐veraison water stress affected the anthocyanin composition differently, suggesting a differential regulation of the genes involved in the last steps of anthocyanin biosynthesis pathway. Significance of the Study: The study identifies the effect of pre‐ and post‐veraison water stress while avoiding sugar influence on anthocyanin accumulation which could be maximised since both stresses differently impacted hydroxylation and methylation of anthocyanins.     

Biological and environmental factors controlling root dynamics and function: effects of root ageing and soil moisture

Understanding factors controlling root dynamics and functioning can lead to more efficient and profitable vineyard management. However, our current understanding of root dynamics and their regulation by plant and environmental factors is limited, particularly under field conditions. This paper presents current understanding of grape root dynamics, highlighting studies using minirhizotron cameras, which directly assess root dynamics, and experiments on roots of known age, which link root phenology and function.
Data summarised here show timing of grape root production varies widely among different regions, as well as among rootstocks and canopy management systems in the same region. Timing of production can be responsive to differences in soil moisture. Lifespan of grape roots, however, appears less affected by soil moisture because of nocturnal hydraulic redistribution. Root function, such as capacity for P and N uptake, declines rapidly with root age. Differences in timing and spatial distribution of root production can effect above-ground growth and vineyard water-use efficiency.
Improving our understanding of when roots grow and are functionally active in agricultural systems can lead to improved water and fertiliser applications, and more precise vineyard management. Because both environmental and biological factors affect root dynamics, simple predictions of timing of root production or standing populations with shoot development are unlikely to be achieved. However, with multi-year data on root dynamics, and environmental and biological factors, regionally specific models of root populations and their functioning may be possible to develop.

Rootstock response of Shiraz (Vitis vinifera) grapevines to dry and drip-irrigated conditions

The yield and growth of Vitis vinifera cv. Shiraz scions grafted onto seven rootstocks were compared with that of own-rooted vines in a shallow sandy soil that was free of nematodes and phylloxera in the Barossa Valley of South Australia. In the absence of irrigation, own-rooted vines yielded as much fruit as vines grafted on Ramsey, the highest-yielding unirrigated rootstock-scion combination. Scions grafted to the rootstocks 110R, K51–40, 1103P and Freedom yielded poorly without irrigation. The yield and growth of all vines increased significantly when a small volume of irrigation water (40–160 mm/annum) was applied; however, only scions grafted to Ramsey and Freedom rootstock yielded more fruit than own-rooted vines.     

Grapevine canopy response to a high‐temperature event during deficit irrigation

Background and Aims: Despite much anecdotal evidence, there has been little scientific investigation of the potential effects of a high‐temperature event on grapevines during deficit irrigation. This study examined the interaction between temperature and water status on leaf physiology. Methods and Results: Two experiments used Cabernet Sauvignon cuttings grown in a glasshouse at approximately 27–30°C before deficit irrigation treatments were imposed. When water stress was apparent, a 2‐day high‐temperature event with maximum daytime temperatures of approximately 40–45°C was generated. Leaf damage, stomatal conductance and water potential of deficit‐irrigated vines were all affected to a greater extent than in the well‐watered vines. Conclusions: The negative effects of a high‐temperature event on vine physiology were more severe in vines experiencing water stress than in well‐watered vines, but recovery was rapid even without re‐watering. Significance of the Study: An increase in the use of deficit irrigation will lead to a greater likelihood of vines being water stressed on hot days, and the observed responses indicate that this will result in greater damage to the vine.     

Effects of partial rootzone drying on yield, ripening and berry ABA in potted Tempranillo grapevines with split roots

Our objective was to investigate whether grape berry growth and colour development is associated with variation in abscisic acid (ABA) levels during ripening under an irrigation regime of partial rootzone drying (PRD). The study was carried out using container‐grown Tempranillo grapevines (established as fruit‐bearing cuttings) with a split root system (occupying two contiguous pots) and grown under controlled conditions. Three irrigation treatments were imposed – a control (well watered), and two forms of deficit irrigation, viz. partial rootzone drying (PRD), and sustained deficit irrigation (SDI). Under SDI, a given volume of irrigation water was applied uniformly and simultaneously to both sides of the split roots of each vine. Under the PRD regime, the same total volume of irrigation was applied, but as separate allocations to each side of the split root system in turn, and alternating on a 10‐day cycle. Because both deficit treatments received the same total amount of irrigation water (about 50% of the volume applied to controls), we were able to distinguish between the effects of deficit irrigation per se, versus any specific impact PRD might be having on vine performance. Outcomes were as follows. Compared to well‐watered control vines, yield per plant, and weight per bunch were both reduced significantly under SDI, but were sustained close to control values under the PRD regime. SDI and PRD thus differed significantly in their respective impacts on vine performance, and comparing just these two forms of deficit irrigation, PRD resulted in greater yield, higher bunch weight, bigger leaf area and increased berry weight compared with the SDI treatment. Moreover, PRD also induced greater accumulation of skin anthocyanins at harvest, compared to SDI. Berry ABA concentration increased continuously throughout veraison, achieving a maximum at the end of this period. The increase of berry ABA concentration was earlier and faster in PRD than in SDI, which exhibited only a slight increase in berry ABA by the end of veraison. These distinctive responses to PRD compared to SDI imply that the alternating wet‐dry cycles of PRD, rather than simply a deficit irrigation, as in SDI, had a distinctive effect on growth, ripening and berry composition. Our data imply that these different responses might be related to ABA physiology, and especially to ABA levels in berries during ripening.     

Developmental variation in sensitivity of Vitis vinifera L. (Shiraz) berries to soil water deficit

A large-scale, long-term irrigation experiment was established near Waikerie in the South Australian Riverland to investigate the feasibility of controlling berry size and ripening at the vineyard scale with modern irrigation systems. Irrigation treatments were devised to impose water stress, by withholding irrigation, during four periods of berry development after flowering of Vitis vinifera (variety Shiraz). Varying water deficits were achieved during each period and between the four seasons, which were climatically diverse. In one season water deficit during the period after flowering resulted in the greatest reduction in berry weight compared with that of well-watered vines, however, in another, water deficit during this period had no effect on berry weight. By comparison, berries appeared to be insensitive to water deficit during the month before harvest in all four seasons. A soil water deficit index was derived to compare the varying levels of water deficit between treatments and seasons on berry development. Deficit effects on berry development were assessed using either comparative growth rate or berry weight near harvest. Regression analysis of berry development against soil water deficit indicated that berries were most sensitive to water stress during the post flowering period.
