The above indicators in soil layer above 20 cm basically met the normal requirements of apple trees, whereas soil layer below 20 cm exceeded the threshold for healthy growth of apple trees. The main reasons for soil compaction below the subsurface layer were poor soil aggregation, the lack of soil organic matter, less human disturbance during fruit planting, and the movement of scattered clay particles to the lower layer. With increasing years of fruit planting, soil compaction became more severe.Taking 7-year-old apple trees (Hanfu) as the test material, an experiment with three irrigation levels including high water (W1, 85%-100%θf, θf was the field water holding capacity), medium water (W2, 70%-85%θf) and low water (W3, 55%-70%θf), and three nitrogen application levels, high (N1, 600 kg·hm-2), medium (N2, 400 kg·hm-2) and low (N3, 200 kg·hm-2), was conducted to investigate the effects of water and nitrogen coupling on photosynthetic characteristics, yield and water and nitrogen utilization of apple trees in mountainous areas under surge-root irrigation (SRI). CRCD2 The results showed that the net photosynthetic rate (Pn), transpiration rate (Tr), stomatal conductance (gs), intercellular CO2 concentration (Ci), leaf instantaneous water use efficiency (WUEi) of apple trees leaves decreased with decreasing nitrogen application rates under the same irrigation amount, but Ci increased. Under the same nitrogen application rate, foliar Pn, Tr, gs and WUEi decreased with decreasing irrigation amount, but Ci increased. The daily average values of Pn and Tr under W1N1 treatment were the largest, while W2N2 treatment had the largest WUEi. Apple yield, irrigation water use efficiency (IWUE) and nitrogen partial productivity (NPFP) were significantly affected by irrigation and nitrogen application. The W2N2 treatment had the highest yield (26761 kg·hm-2). IWUE increased significantly with the decreasing irrigation and the increasing nitrogen application, while NPFP increased significantly with the increases of irrigation and the decreases of nitrogen application. Results of the regression analysis showed that the combination of irrigation and nitrogen application was closest to W2N2 treatment when yield and IWUE got the optimal solution. Therefore, W2N2 treatment was the best combination mode of water and nitrogen application for apple under SRI in Northern Shaanxi mountain area.To explore the optimal monitoring method for soil and plant analyzer development (SPAD) of winter wheat under waterlogging stress based on hyperspectral and digital image techno-logy, the correlations between SPAD of the waterlogged winter wheat and fifteen indices of hyperspectral characteristic and fourteen indices of digital image feature were analyzed under a micro-plot which could be irrigated and drainage separately. Then, the BP neural network models for SPAD estimation were constructed based on the optimal monitoring feature indices. Compared with the normal winter wheat, SPAD and the value of hyperspectral reflectance did not change under short-term waterlogging (less than 7 d), whereas the SPAD was significantly decreased after more than 12 d waterlogging treatment with the value being close to zero at the late stage of growth. link2 The estimation accuracy based on the digital image characteristics of green minus red, excess red index, norma-lized redness index and excess green index showed similar results compared to that using the BP network model based on the characteristics of the corresponding hyperspectral band. The highest R2 between the measured value and the predicted value was 0.86, while the root mean square error (RMSE) was 3.98. Compared with the BP network models built with the digital image feathers, the accuracy of the models based on the four hyperspectral characteristic indices (carotenoid reflex index, yellow edge amplitude, normalized difference vegetation index and structure insensitive pigment index) for SPAD was significantly improved, with the highest R2 of 0.97 and the lowest RMSE of 1.95. Our results suggest that both hyperspectral and digital image technology could be used to estimate SPAD value of waterlogged winter wheat and that the BP network model based on hyperspectral characteristic indices performed better in the estimation accuracy.To solve the problem of uncoordinated source-sink relationship that limits the increase of peanut yield, we investigated the regulating effects of ethephon on the formation of source-sink in cultivar Shanhua 9 by spraying at 10, 20, and 30 d after anthesis in a field experiment. The results showed that spraying ethephon at 10 d and 20 d after anthesis significantly reduced the number of flowers, pegs and young pods, but increased the number of immature pods and mature pods. Spraying at 30 d after anthesis did not affect the number of flowers, pegs and young pods. Spraying ethephon could improve the leaf area per plant. Spraying at 10 d after anthesis achieved the highest leaf area per plant and the increment amplitude decreased with the delay of spraying stage. Spraying ethephon at 10 d and 20 d after anthesis significantly improved the photosynthetic performance of peanut, whereas spraying at 30 days after anthesis increased the photosynthesis only in the short-term and had no effect at late growth period. In terms of the comprehensive characters of source and sink, spraying ethephon at 20 d after anthesis achieved the most harmonious source-sink relationship, which could promote the transport of photosynthate to pods and increase the economic pods ratio, pod fullness, and the yield. Therefore, spraying ethephon is an effective practice to solve the problems of "more flowers but less pegs" and "more pods but less kernels" in peanut. The optimum spraying stage of ethephon to regulate flowering should be at 20 d after anthesis.The strategy of few or no-phosphorus fertilization in rice season but more in wheat season can effectively increase phosphorus use efficiency and reduce phosphorus loss through runoff and leaching. It remains unknown whether the lack of phosphorus will affect greenhouse gas emission in the rice season. We monitored the CH4 and N2O emission fluxes during the growth period of rice treated with normal phosphorus application (NPK) and no-phosphorus application (NK) in two long-term experimental fields in Suzhou and Yixing. The results showed that long-term no-phosphorus application promoted CH4 and N2O emission in both fields. Compared with the NPK treatment, CH4 and N2O emissions from the NK treatment significantly increased by 57% and 25% in Suzhou experi-mental field, respectively, while those in Yixing experimental field were also significantly increased by 221% and 70%, respectively. The contents of organic acid, dissolved organic carbon and available phosphorus in soil were reduced under long-term NK treatment, and they were closely related to CH4 emission. Soil available phosphorus content was significantly negatively correlated with CH4 emission (r=-0.987). The global warming potential (GWP) was greater in NK treatment than NPK treatment in both fields. Therefore, long-term no-phosphorus application could decrease the contents of organic acid, soluble organic carbon, and available phosphorus in soils, resulting in more CH4 and N2O emission in rice field.To clarify the effects of combined applications of chlorocholine chloride (CCC) and nitrogen fertilizer (CN) on nitrogen metabolism and nitrogen use efficiency of summer maize, we conducted a field experiment in Xinxiang experimental station of Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences in 2018 and 2019, with four nitrogen application rates (0, 62.5, 125 and 187.5 kg·hm-2), and two maize varieties of Jingnongke 728 (JNK728) and Zhongdan 909 (ZD909). The results showed that across the two years CN-CCC increased maize yield by 7.7% and 5.0% under the nitrogen application rates of 62.5 kg·hm-2 and 125 kg·hm-2, respectively. CN-CCC increased the contents of nitrate reductase, glutamine synthetase, glutamate synthetase and soluble protein, and finally promoted nitrogen metabolism. Under the low and middle nitrogen application conditions (62.5 kg·hm-2 and 125 kg·hm-2), plant nitrogen content of JNK728 and ZD909 increased by 17.6% and 30.3%, grain nitrogen content increased by 10.3% and 17.4%, nitrogen partial productivity, agronomic efficiency of applied nitrogen, recovery efficiency of applied nitrogen, nitrogen use efficiency increased by 10.0%, 15.7%, 23.3%, 24.8% and 5.7%, 15.0%, 49.9%, 71.7%, respectively. In conclusion, appropriate basic application of CN-CCC could enhance nitrogen metabolism, increase nitrogen use efficiency and grain yield of summer maize. Our results showed that CCC combined basic nitrogen application of 125 kg·hm-2 had the best effect.Fertilization is an effective way to improve soil quality, increase soil fertility and soil microbial diversity in paddy soil. To explore the changes of soil labile organic carbon (C) fractions and hydrolytic enzyme activity after 34 years fertilization treatments in a field experiment in double-cropping rice system of southern China. There were four treatments, including chemical fertilizer alone (MF), rice residue and chemical fertilizer (RF), 30% organic matter and 70% chemical fertilizer (OM), and the control without fertilizer input (CK). We measured soil organic carbon (SOC) content, soil labile organic C fractions, SOC related hydrolytic enzyme activity, correlation coefficients of soil enzyme activity with SOC content and its labile organic C fractions. The results showed that MF, RF and OM increased SOC content by 4.5%, 22.4% and 53.5%, respectively. Compared with MF and CK, RF and OM increased soil labile organic C fractions [cumulative C mineralization (Cmin), permanganate oxidizable C (KMnO4-C), pydrolytic enzyme activity and SOC content and its labile organic C fractions. In conclusion, the combined application of organic manure, rice straw returning and chemical fertilizer is an effective method to improve soil labile organic C fractions and hydrolytic enzyme activity in a double-cropping rice paddy field of southern China.Accurate simulation of dry matter accumulation in wheat grains can provide important technical support for regulating wheat production in hilly areas of Loess Plateau. Using the APSIM model, we analyzed dryland wheat grain dry matter accumulation and distribution using the meteorological data from 1971 to 2017 in Anding District, and the field test data from 2016 to 2017 in Anjiagou Village, Fengxiang Town, Anding District, Dingxi City, Gansu Province. link3 Furthermore, the influence of sowing date and tillage method on dry matter accumulation of wheat grain was quantitatively analyzed on the basis of model validation. The results showed that the root mean square error (RMSE) between the simulated and measured values of grain dry matter was 57.5-143.1 kg·hm-2 and the normalized root mean square error (NRMSE) was 1.4%-9.9% under the three sowing dates and four tillage methods, respectively. The precision of the APSIM model was satisfactory. Under different sowing dates, the order for beneficial degree of tillage treatment to dry matter accumulation in wheat grains was no tillage with straw cover > conventional tillage with straw cover > no tillage > conventional tillage. The treatment of no tillage with straw covered was the most favora-ble to dry matter accumulation in wheat grains, with no significant difference between no tillage and conventional tillage treatments. Under different farming methods, early sowing was better than normal sowing and late sowing for the dry matter accumulation process of wheat. Late sowing had stronger impacts on dry matter accumulation, with the least ideal accumulation process.
