The recovery of15N labelled ammonium fertilizer was studied during two cropping sequences: sugar beet—spring wheat and winter rye—sugar beet with the labelled N applied to the first crop of each sequence. The difference between fall and spring application was also investigated. For the first cropping sequence 100 kg N ha–1 labelled with 11.4%15N atom excess (a.e.) was applied to the sugar beets. This labelled N was followed in the sugar beets, in the soil profile at harvesting time as well as in the spring wheat of the following year. The first crop of sugar beet recovered 43–46% of the applied N, with 26–29% remaining in the soil at harvesting time and 25–31% could not be accounted for. Of the residual N, less than 1% could be recovered by the next crop of spring wheat. For the second cropping sequence 50 kg N ha–1 labelled with 11.5%15N a.e. was applied to the winter rye and followed in the winter rye and in the sugar beets of the following year. The recovery of the labelled fertilizer N applied to the winter rye of the second sequence was 20–27% and the sugar beets of the next year could only recover 2%. With respect to time of application, no difference in fertilizer N recovery was found between fall or spring application for the two sequences.  相似文献

Double-labelled15N ammonium nitrate was used to determine the uptake of fertilizer and soil N by ryegrass swards during spring and mid-season. The effects of water stress (40% of mean rainfall v 25 mm irrigation per 25 mm soil water deficit) and the rate of application of N in the spring (40 v 130 kg ha–1) on the recovery of 130 kg N ha–1 applied in mid-season were also evaluated. Apparent recovery of fertilizer N (uptake of N in the fertilized plot minus that in the control expressed as a percentage of the N applied) was 95 and 79% for fertilizer N applied in the spring at rates of 40 and 130 kg ha–1, respectively. Actual recovery of the fertilizer N assessed from the uptake of15N was only 31 and 48%, respectively. The uptake of soil N by the fertilized swards was substantially greater than that by the control. However, the increased uptake of soil N was always less than the amount of fertilizer N retained in or lost from the soil. Broadly similar patterns for the uptake of fertilizer and soil N were observed during mid-season. Uptake of N in mid-season was highest for swards which received 40 kg N ha–1 in the spring and suffered minimal water stress during this period. Application of 130 kg N ha–1 in spring reduced the uptake of N in mid-season to an extent similar to that arising from water stress. Only 1.8 to 4.2 kg ha–1 (3 to 10%) of the N residual from fertilizer applied in the spring was recovered during mid-season. Laboratory incubation studies suggested that only a small part of the increased uptake of soil N by fertilized swards could be attributed to increased mineralisation of soil N induced by addition of fertilizer. It is considered that the increased uptake of soil N is partly real but mostly apparent, the latter arising from microbially mediated exchange of inorganic15N in the soil.  相似文献

Management of nitrogen by fertigation of potato in Lebanon   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
Reports on soil and groundwater contamination with nitrates in Lebanon and other developing countries could be related to the mismanagement of water and fertilizer inputs. The objective of this work was to determine the N requirements and N-use efficiency of a main-crop potato in Lebanon, irrigated by a drip system, compared to the farmer's practice of macro-sprinkler. In the drip irrigation, fertilizers input was as soil application at the time of sowing or added continuously with the irrigation water (fertigation). Nitrogen-fertilizer recovery was determined using 15N-labeled ammonium sulfate. Fertigation with continuous N feeding based on actual N demands and available sources allowed for 55% N recovery. For a total N uptake of 197 kg ha–1 per season in the lower N rate, the crop removed 66 kg N ha–1 from fertilizers. The spring potato crop in this treatment covered 44.8% of its N need from the soil and 21.8% from irrigation water. Higher N input increased not only N derived from fertilizers, but also residual soil N. Buildup of N in the soil with the traditional potato fertilization practice reached 200 kg N ha–1 per season. With increasing indications of deteriorating groundwater quality, we monitored the nitrate leaching in these two watering regimes using soil solution extractors (tensionics). Nitrate leaching increased significantly with the macro-sprinkler technique. But N remained within the root zone with the drip irrigation. The crop response to applied N requires a revision of the current fertilizer recommendation in semi-arid regions, with an improved management of fertilizer and water inputs using fertigation to enhance N recovery.  相似文献

N-response curves of numerous N-fertilizer trials with sugar beet and potato are described by a quadratic and a modified exponential equation. For both sugar beet and potato the modified exponential equation was much better than the quadratic equation when the residual sum of squares (RSS) was taken as a measure of the degree of fit. In order to take into account the few occasions when the quadratic model was superior, it is suggested that both models should be used for the data of each individual trial. The economically optimum application rate of fertilizer N is calculated on the basis of the best-fitting model. This procedure yielded optima which covered entire ranges of fertilizer-N levels tested: 0–250 kg ha–1 for sugar beet and 0–400 kg ha–1 for potato. The magnitude of the confidence intervals (p > 95%) of the optimum N-fertilizer application rate frequently was very high. In 46% of the sugar beet trials and even in 60% of the potato trials it was higher than 300 kg ha–1 N. It is suggested that N-fertilizer recommendations be drawn up only with reliable optima.  相似文献

Nutrient balances, defined as the difference between input with manures, fertilizers and atmospheric deposition and offtake of nutrients with harvested products in arable cropping systems, need to be positive to compensate for unavoidable losses to the environment, but should be kept at the lowest possible level to minimize emissions or unnecessary accumulation of nutrients in the soil. Data from five consecutive years are reported from a long-term nutrient monitoring experiment with three replicates, managed comparably to conventional farming practice. There were four nutrient treatments (T1–T4). Treatment T1 received chemical fertilizer only. T2 received processed organic manure, supplying 50 per cent of the crop N-requirement, supplemented by chemical fertilizers. In treatments T1 and T2 the soil was bare during winter. In T3 and T4 the crops were fertilized as in T1 and T2, respectively, but nitrogen catch crops were grown in autumn and winter. Averaged over five years, the N-balances were 46 kg N ha-1 y-1 in T1 and T2 and 25 kg ha-1 y-1 in T3 and T4 (atmospheric deposition of 44 kg N ha-1y-1 included). Averaged over all treatments and years, the P-balance was 7 kg ha-1 y-1 and the K-balance -33 kg ha-1 y-1. The initially high soil fertility indices for both P and K declined over the experimental period. Catch crops and organic manure did not affect crop yields or nutrient balances, except that their combination in T4 resulted in 1.5 ton ha-1 extra dry matter yield of sugar beet roots. Between spring and harvest, potato and sugar beet showed positive N balances and the cereals negative N-balances. Sugar beet was the only crop with a positive K-balance. NPK concentrations in plant products were not systematically affected by treatments but varied considerably between seasons. At harvest, on average 63, 71, 75 and 112 kg N ha-1 (0–90 cm) were found after sugar beet, spring wheat, oats and potato, respectively. In November catch crops accumulated on average 39 kg N ha-1 after cereals and 33 and 5 kg ha-1 after potato and sugar beet, respectively. In March catch crops after the cereals contained 4 kg N ha-1 less than in autumn, but after potato and sugar beet N-accumulation in spring had increased to 49 and 29 ha N ha-1, respectively. In spring soil mineral N (0–90 cm) varied across years from 31 to 63 kg ha-1. The results indicate that compliance with a maximum excess of input over offtake, as imposed by future legislation, is feasible for N for cropping systems comparable to the system examined, but that the standard for P will probably turn out to be a tight one.  相似文献

Two field experiments, in which differing amounts and types of plant residues were incorporated into a red earth soil, were conducted at Katherine, N.T., Australia. The aim of the work was to evaluate the effect of the residues on uptake of soil and fertilizer N by a subsequent sorghum crop, on the accumulation and leaching of nitrate, and on losses of N.Stubble of grain sorghum applied at an exceptionally high rate (~ 18 000 kg ha–1) reduced uptake of N by sorghum by 13% and depressed the accumulation of nitrate under a crop and particularly under a fallow.Loss of fertilizer N, movement of nitrate down the profile, and uptake by the crop was studied in another experiment after application of N as15NH4 15NO3 to field microplots. By four weeks after fertilizer application 14% had been lost from the soil-plant system and by crop maturity 36 per cent had been lost. The pattern of15N distribution in the profile suggested that losses below 150 cm had occurred during crop growth. The recovery of15N by the crop alone ranged from 16 to 32 per cent. There was an apparent loss of N from the crop between anthesis and maturity. Residue levels common to sorghum crops in the region (~ 2000 kg ha–1) did not significantly affect uptake by a subsequent sorghum crop, N losses, or distribution of nitrate in the profile.  相似文献

Field trials were carried out to study the fate of15N-labelled urea applied to summer maize and winter wheat in loess soils in Shaanxi Province, north-west China. In the maize experiment, nitrogen was applied at rates of 0 or 210 kg N ha–1, either as a surface application, mixed uniformly with the top 0.15 m of soil, or placed in holes 0.1 m deep adjacent to each plant and then covered with soil. In the wheat experiment, nitrogen was applied at rates of 0, 75 or 150 kg N ha–1, either to the surface, or incorporated by mixing with the top 0.15 m, or placed in a band at 0.15 m depth. Measurements were made of crop N uptake, residual fertilizer N and soil mineral N. The total above-ground dry matter yield of maize varied between 7.6 and 11.9 t ha–1. The crop recovery of fertilizer N following point placement was 25% of that applied, which was higher than that from the surface application (18%) or incorporation by mixing (18%). The total grain yield of wheat varied between 4.3 and 4.7 t ha–1. In the surface applications, the recovery of fertilizer-derived nitrogen (25%) was considerably lower than that from the mixing treatments and banded placements (33 and 36%). The fertilizer N application rate had a significant effect on grain and total dry matter yield, as well as on total N uptake and grain N contents. The main mechanism for loss of N appeared to be by ammonia volatilization, rather than leaching. High mineral N concentrations remained in the soil at harvest, following both crops, demonstrating a potential for significant reductions in N application rates without associated loss in yield.  相似文献

At two sites, microplots under winter wheat were given 140 kg N ha–1 as labelled ammonium nitrate split in 80 kg N ha–1 at tillering and 60 kg N ha–1 at shooting. Soil and plant samples were analyzed at shooting, after anthesis and at grain harvest and a15N balance was established. The average recovery rate of 95% indicates that there were no marked N losses due to leaching and denitrification, which is attributed to the low rainfall in the two months after fertilizer application. Between 19 and 23% of the fertilizer N remained in the 0–30 cm soil layer as organically bound soil N. Up to 64% was taken up by the above-ground crop. On the loamy sand, 4% of the fertilizer N at harvest remained in the roots in the 0–30 cm layer and only 3% was found as inorganic N in the 0–90 cm soil layer. The fertilizer N applied diminished plant uptake of soil N in the period between fertilizer application and harvest. As compared with the control, the fertilized plants extracted 25 and 28% less soil N from loamy sand and loess soil, respectively. The results show that application of mineral N fertilizer helps to maintain the mineralizable N content of the soil, which has been accumulated in the course of long-term intensive crop production, by adding N to the soil organic pool and simultaneously reducing the supply of soil N to the plants.  相似文献

In order to achieve efficient use of nitrogen (N) and minimize pollution potentials, producers of irrigated maize (Zea mays L.) must make the best use of N from all sources. This study was conducted to evaluate crop utilization of nitrate in irrigation water and the effect N fertilizer has on N use efficiencies of this nitrate under irrigated maize production. The study site is representative of a large portion of the Central Platte Valley of Nebraska where ground water nitrate-N (NO3-N) concentrations over 10 mg L–1 are common. Microplots were established to accommodate four fertilizer N rates (0, 50, 100, and 150 kg ha–1) receiving irrigation water containing three levels of NO3-N (0, 10, 20 mg L–1). Stable isotope15N was applied as a tracer in the irrigation water for treatments containing 10 and 20 mg L–1 NO3-N. Plots that did not receive nitrate in the irrigation water where tagged with15N fertilizer as a sidedress treatment. Sidedressed N fertilizer significantly reduced irrigation-N uptake efficiencies. When residual N uptake is added to first year plant usage, total irrigation NO3-N uptake efficiencies are similar to total sidedress N fertilizer uptake efficiencies for our cropping system over the two year period. Efficiency of irrigation-N use depends on crop needs and availability of N from other sources during the irrigation season.  相似文献

Use of15N-depleted fertilizer materials have been primarily limited to fertilizer recovery studies of short duration. The objective of this study was to determine if15N-depleted fertilizer N could be satisfactorily used as a tracer of residual fertilizer N in plant tissue and various soil N fractions through a corn (Zea mays L.) -winter rye (Secale cereale L.) crop rotation. Nitrogen as15N-depleted (NH4)2SO4 was applied at five rates (0, 84, 168, 252, and 336 kg N ha–1) to corn. Immediately following corn harvest a winter rye cover crop treatment was initiated. Residual fertilizer N was easily detected in the soil NO 3 - -N fraction following corn harvest (140-d after application). Low levels of exchangeable NH 4 + -N (<2.5 mg kg–1) did not permit accurate isotope-ratio analysis. Fertilizer-derived N recovered in the soil total N fraction following corn harvest was detectable in the 0 to 30-cm depth at each N rate and in the 30 to 60 and 60 to 90-cm depths at the 336 kg ha–1 N rate. Atom %15N concentrations in the nonexchangeable NH 4 + -N fraction did not differ from the control at each N rate. Nitrogen recovery by the winter rye cover crop reduced residual soil NO 3 - -N levels below the 10 kg ha–1 level needed for accurate isotope-ratio analysis. Atom %15N concentrations in the soil total N fraction (approximately one yr after application) were indistinguishable from the control plots below the 168, 252, and 336 kg ha–1 N rate at the 0 to 30, 30 to 60, and 60 to 90-cm depths, respectively. Recovery of residual fertilizer N by the winter rye cover crop was verified by measuring significant decreases in atom %15N concentrations in rye tissue with increasing N rates. The greatest limitation to the use of15N-depleted fertilizer N as a tracer of residual fertilizer N in a corn-rye crop rotation appears to be its detectibility from native soil N in the total N pool.Research partially supported by grants from the National Fertilizer and Environmental Research Center/TVA and the Virginia Division of Soil and Water Conservation.  相似文献

The recovery of 15N-labelled fertilizer applied to a winter wheat (120 kg N ha–1) and also a perennial ryegrass (60 kg N ha–1) crop grown for seed for 1 year in the Canterbury region of New Zealand in the 1993/94 season was studied in the field. After harvests, ryegrass and wheat residues were subjected to four different residue management practices (i.e. ploughed, rotary hoed, mulched and burned) and three subsequent wheat crops were grown, the first succeeding wheat crop sown in 1994/95 to examine the effects of different crop residue management practices on the residual 15N recovery by succeeding wheat crops. Total 15N recoveries by the winter wheat and ryegrass (seed, roots and tops) were 52% and 41%, respectively. Corresponding losses of 15N from the crop-soil systems represented by un-recovered 15N in crop and soil were 12% and 35%, respectively. These losses were attributed to leaching and denitrification. The proportions of 15N retained in the soil (0-400 mm depth) at the time of harvest of winter wheat and ryegrass were 36% and 24%, respectively. Although the soil functioned as a substantial sink for fertilizer N, the recovery of this residual fertilizer by subsequent three winter wheat crops was low (1-5%) and this was not affected by different crop residue management practices.  相似文献

Field experiments were conducted in Central Thailand under a rice–fallow–rice cropping sequence during consecutive dry and wet seasons of 1998 to determine the impact of residue management on fertilizer nitrogen (N) use. Treatments consisted of a combination of broadcast urea (70 kg N ha–1) with rice straw (C/N 67) and rice hull ash (C/N 76), which were incorporated into the puddled soil 1 week before transplanting at a rate of 5 Mg ha–1. Nitrogen-15 balance data showed that the dry season rice recovered 10 to 20% of fertilizer N at maturity. Of the applied N, 27 to 36% remained in the soil. Loss of N (unaccounted for) from the soil–plant system ranged from 47 to 54% of applied N. The availability of the residue fertilizer N to a subsequent rice crop was only less than 3% of the initial applied N. During both season fallows NO3-N remained the dominant form of mineral-N (NO3+NH4) in the aerobic soil. In the dry season grain yield response to N application was significant (P=0.05). Organic material sources did not significantly change grain yield and N accumulation in rice. In terms of grain yields and N uptake at maturity, there was no significant residual effect of fertilizer N on the subsequent rice crop. The combined use of organic residues with urea did not improve N use efficiency, reduced N losses nor produced higher yields compared to urea alone. These results suggested that mechanisms such as N loss through gaseous N emissions may account for the low fertilizer N use efficiency from this rice cropping system. Splitting fertilizer N application should be considered on the fertilizer N use from the organic residue amendment.  相似文献

In Denmark the Danish Agricultural Advisory Centre has for some years used the soil content of mineral nitrogen in spring in fertilizer recommendations. Since 1986 these recommendations have been based on soil samples carried out at all intersections of a nationwide 7 km square grid in Denmark. It was hoped that it may be possible to replace soil measurements with values of soil mineral-N calculated with a model. The Danish simulation model DAISY, which among other things simulates changes in the inorganic N content of the soil, was evaluated with respect to the Nmin content in the early spring under bare soil and under winter cereal. For both situations the precrop was cereals. The performance of the model was evaluated in farming systems receiving mineral fertilizer and in some instances organic manures. The results were analysed according to type of subsoil: sandy or loamy. Predictions were 11 kg N ha–1 less than the measured values as a mean and the differences between simulated and measured values were high for fields receiving organic manures. Predictions were less than ± 10 kg N ha–1 of measured values in 25–58% of cases for the different types of crop cover at the time of soil sampling, type of subsoils and fertilizer strategies, respectively. Predictions were less than ± 20 kg N ha–1 of measured values in 48–89% of cases for the different situations. The best predictions were obtained for sandy subsoils covered by winter cereal and supplied with mineral fertilizer only. It is concluded that the quality of the data used as input in the model has to be increased and that further developments of parts of the DAISY model are needed before modelling can be a useful tool in N fertilizer recommendations.  相似文献

The DAISY soil–plant–atmosphere model was used to simulate crop production and soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) turnover for three arable crop rotations on a loamy sand in Denmark under varying temperature, rainfall, atmospheric CO2 concentration and N fertilization. The crop rotations varied in proportion of spring sown crops and use of N catch crops (ryegrass). The effects on CO2 emissions were estimated from simulated changes in soil C. The effects on N2O emissions were estimated using the IPCC methodology from simulated amounts of N in crop residues and N leaching. Simulations were carried out using the original and a revised parameterization of the soil C turnover. The use of the revised model parameterization increased the soil C and N turnover in the topsoil under baseline conditions, resulting in an increase in crop N uptake of 11 kg N ha–1 y–1 in a crop rotation with winter cereals and a reduction of 16 kg N ha–1 y–1 in a crop rotation with spring cereals and catch crops. The effect of increased temperature, rainfall and CO2 concentration on N flows was of the same magnitude for both model parameterizations. Higher temperature and rainfall increased N leaching in all crop rotations, whereas effects on N in crop residues depended on use of catch crops. The total greenhouse gas (GHG) emission increased with increasing temperature. The increase in total GHG emission was 66–234 kg CO2-eq ha–1 y–1 for a temperature increase of 4°C. Higher rainfall increased total GHG emissions most in the winter cereal dominated rotation. An increase in rainfall of 20% increased total GHG emissions by 11–53 kg CO2-eq ha–1 y–1, and a 50% increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration decreased emissions by 180–269 kg CO2-eq ha–1 y–1. The total GHG emissions increased considerably with increasing N fertilizer rate for a crop rotation with winter cereals, but remained unchanged for a crop rotation with spring cereals and catch crops. The simulated increase in GHG emissions with global warming can be effectively mitigated by including more spring cereals and catch crops in the rotation.  相似文献

Field studies were conducted during two consecutive wet seasons in flooded rice (Oryza sativa L.) to determine the effect of green manure on urea utilization in a rice-fallow-rice cropping sequence. Replicated plots were fertilized with 60 to 120 kg of urea N ha–1 in three split applications (50, 25 and 25%) with or without incorporation of dhaincha (Sesbania aculeata L.) (100 kg N ha–1). During the first crop only 31 to 44% of the urea added was used by the rice. Incorporatingin situ grown dhaincha (GM) into the soil at transplanting had little effect on urea utilization. Forty-four to 54% of the N added was not recovered in the soil, rice crop, or as nitrate leachate during the first cropping season. Incorporation of GM had no effect on fertilizer N recovery. Only about 2% of the urea N added to the first rice crop was taken up by the second rice crop and, as in the first crop, the GM had little effect on residual N, either in amount or utilization.  相似文献

Application of higher levels (60 and 90 kg N ha–1) of nitrogen fertilizer (Urea) inhibited the growth ofAzolla pinnata (Bangkok) and blue-green algae (BGA) though the reduction was more in BGA thanAzolla. Inoculation of 500 kg ha–1 of freshAzolla 10 days after transplanting (DAT) in the rice fields receiving 30, 60 and 90 kg N ha–1 as urea produced an average of 16.5, 15.0 and 13.0 t ha–1 fresh biomass ofAzolla at 30 DAT, which contained 31, 31 and 27 kg N ha–1, respectively. The dry mixture of BGA (60%Aulosira, 35%Gloeotrichia and 5% other BGA on fresh weight basis) inoculated in rice field 3 DAT at a rate of 10 kg ha–1 showed a mat formation at 80 DAT with an average fresh biomass of 8.0, 5.8 and 4.2 t ha–1 containing 22, 17 and 12 kg N ha–1, respectively with those N fertilizer doses.Application ofAzolla showed positive responses to rice crop by increasing the panicle number and weight, grain and straw yields and nitrogen uptake in rice significantly at all the levels of chemical nitrogen. But, the BGA inoculation had a significant effect on the grain and straw yields only during the dry season in the treatment where 30 kg N was applied. During the wet season and in the other treatments performed during the dry season no significant increase in yields, yield components and N uptake were observed with BGA.The intercropping ofAzolla and rice in combination with 30, 60 and 90 kg N ha–1 as urea showed the yields, yield attributes and nitrogen uptake in rice at par with those obtained by applying 60, 90 and 120 kg N ha–1 as urea, respectively but, the BGA did not. The analysis of soil from rice field after harvest showed thatAzolla and BGA intercropping with rice in combination with chemical fertilizer significantly increased the organic carbon, available phosphorus and total nitrogen of soil.  相似文献

Integrated soil management with leguminous cover crops was studied at two sites in the northern Guinea savanna zone of northern Nigeria, Kaduna (190 day growing season) and Bauchi (150 days). One-year planted fallows of mucuna, lablab, and crotalaria were compared with natural grass fallow and cowpea controls. All treatments were followed by a maize test crop in the second year with 0, 30, or 60 kg N ha–1 as urea. Above ground legume residues were not incorporated into the soil and most residues were burned early in the dry season at the Kaduna site. Legume rotation increased soil total N, maize growth in greenhouse pots, and dry matter and N accumulation of maize. Response of maize grain yield to 30 kg N ha–1 as urea was highly significant at both sites and much greater than the response to legume rotation. The mean N fertilizer replacement value from legume rotation was 14 kg N ha–1 at Kaduna and 6 kg N ha–1 at Bauchi. W ith no N applied to the maize test crop, maize grain yield following legume fallow was 365 kg ha–1 higher than natural fallow at Bauchi and 235 kg ha–1 higher at Kaduna. The benefit of specific legume fallows to subsequent maize was mostly related to above ground N of the previous legume at Bauchi, where residues were protected from fire and grazing. At Kaduna, where fallow vegetation was burned, maize yield was related to estimated below ground N. The results show that legume rotation alone results in small maize yield increases in the dry savanna zone.  相似文献

The performance of three different models, which simulate changes in the inorganic N content of the soil, was evaluated in respect of their ability to predict Nmin content in the spring under cereal crops. The models of British, Dutch and German origin, were tested using data from farmers' fields supplied by 70 farmers over two growing seasons in FRG. The models were run between harvest of the previous crop and spring of the following year, and predictions of Nmin in the spring compared to soil measurements. The performance of the models was assessed by counting the number of cases in which predictions agreed within 10 or 20 kg (N) ha–1 of the measurements. Predictions were less than ± 10 kg (N) ha–1 of measured values in only 30–44% and 28–55% of cases in 1988 and 1989, respectively. Predictions were less than ± 20 kg (N) ha–1 of measured values in 62–70% and 68–82% of cases in 1988 and 1989, respectively. Predictions in 1989 were better because the initial Nmin content in the autumn was included in the model input. None of the models tested had been designed to use input data of the type available to farmers. It is concluded that, at present, the results are too variable for any of the models to be used with confidence as tools to aid in N fertilizer recommendations.  相似文献

Yield response of dryland wheat to fertilizer N application in relation to components of seasonal water (available soil moisture and rainfall) and residual farm yard manure (FYM) was studied for five years (1983–84 to 1987–88) on a maize-wheat sequence on sandy loam soils in Hoshiarpur district of Punjab, India. Four rates of N viz. 0, 40, 60 and 80 kg ha–1 in wheat were superimposed on two residual FYM treatments viz. no FYM (F0) and 15 t ha–1 (F15) to preceding maize. FYM application to maize increased the residual NO3-N content by 19–30 kg ha–1 in the 180 cm soil profile. For a given moisture distribution, F15 increased attainable yields. Over the years, F15 increased wheat yield by 230 to 520 kg ha–1. Response to fertilizer N was lower in FYM amended plots than in unamended plots. Available soil moisture at wheat seeding and amount and distribution of rainfall during the vegetative and the reproductive phases of crop development affected N use efficiency by wheat. Available soil moisture at seeding alone accounted for 50% variation in yield. The residual effect of FYM on wheat yield could be accounted for by considering NO3-N in 180 cm soil profile at seeding. The NO3-N and available soil moisture at wheat seeding along with split rainfall for two main phases of crop development and fertilizer N accounted for 96% variation in wheat yield across years and FYM treatments.  相似文献

Four crop rotation and management systems were studied in 1994 and 1995 in relation to growth and yield of irrigated processing tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.). The four treatments were three four-year rotation systems [conventional (conv-4), low input and organic] and a two-year rotation system [conventional (conv-2)]. The four-year rotation was tomato-safflower-corn-wheat(or oats+vetch)/beans, and the two-year rotation was tomato-wheat. Purple vetch (Vicia sativa L.) was grown as a green manure cover crop preceeding tomatoes in the low input and organic systems. Nitrogen was supplied as fertilizer in the conventional systems, as vetch green manure plus fertilizer in the low input system and as vetch green manure plus turkey manure in the organic system. Tomato cv. Brigade was direct-seeded in the conventional systems and transplanted to the field in the low input and organic systems. In both years the winter cover crop was composed of a mixture of vetch and volunteer oats with N contents of 2.2% in 1994 and 2.7% (low input) or 1.8% (organic) in 1995. In 1994 yields were higher in conventionally grown tomatoes because a virus in the nursery infected the transplants used in the low input and organic systems. In 1995 tomatoes grown with the low input and conv-4 systems had similar yields, which were higher than those of tomatoes grown with the conv-2 and organic systems. N uptake by the crop was greater than 200 kg N ha–1 for high yield (> 75 t ha–1) and uptake rates of 3 to 6 kg N ha–1 day–1 during the period of maximum uptake were observed. The lower yield with the organic system in 1995 was caused by a N deficiency. The main effect of the N deficiency was a reduced leaf area index and not a reduction of net assimilation rate (NAR) or radiation use efficiency (RUE). Nitrogen deficiency was related to low concentration of inorganic N in the soil and slow release of N from the cover crop + manure. A high proportion of N from the green manure but only a low proportion of N from the manure was mineralized during the crop season. In the conventional systems, the estimated mineralized N from the soil organic matter during the crop season was around 85 kg ha–1. A hyperbolic relationship between N content and total dry weight of aboveground biomass was observed in procesing tomatoes with adequate N nutrition. Lower yields with the conv-2 than with the conv-4 system were due to higher incidence of diseases in the two year rotation which reduced the NAR and the RUE. Residual N in the soil in Oct.
