    Abstract:In order to investigate the effects of different nitrogen application rates and intercropping on oat,sunflower productivity and nitrate accumulation after oat harvest,a field experiment was conducted in semi-arid regions of western Jilin province with 3 nitrogen application rates (0,50,and 100 kg/hm2).Yield,nitrogen uptake and soil nitrate content were measured.The results showed that:Oat and sunflower strip intercropping had yield advantages and higher N uptake efficiency.Its land equivalent ratio (LER) and N uptake equivalent ratio (NER) were ranged from 1.20-1.37 and 1.20-1.30 respectively;at 100 kg/hm2 N application rate,intercropped oat and sunflower had the highest seed yield (4.40 and 6.65 t/hm2),above ground biomass (12.81 and 12.40 t/hm2) and N uptake (182.78 and 192.12 kg/hm2).The aboveground biomass and N uptake for intercropped oat was increased by 17.2%-35.4% compared to sole oat while the yield and N uptake for intercropped sunflower was increased by 22.78%-46.15% compare to sole sunflower.Intercropping significantly decreased soil (0-60 cm) nitrate nitrogen accumulation in the border rows of intercropped oat after oat harvest,however,it significantly increased soil nitrate nitrogen accumulation in the border rows of intercropped sunflower.Overall,it was found that 100 kg/hm2 nitrogen application rate was optimal for oat and sunflower strip intercropping in this region.

    Abstract:Fortified mepiquat chloride (1,1-dimethyl piperidinium chloride,DPC) is DPC 25% AS (aqueous solution),the component of adjuvant in it could slightly damage the epidermis of young tissues of cotton plants,and thus prolong the period of DPC validity compared with DPC 98% SP (water soluble powder).Therefore,fortified DPC was used for cotton chemical topping to replace manual topping in some regions of China.The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of plant density and nitrogen rate on cotton chemical topping with fortified DPC in Yellow River valley region,and to improve the supporting cultivation measures for cotton chemical topping.Experiments were conducted in Hejian City,Hebei Province in 2014 and 2016 by taking the cotton variety XS17 as material.Compared with the manual topping,the chemical topping with fortified DPC produced 4.5-7.5 cm higher plants and 2.5-2.6 more sympodials,while its leaf area index (LAI),aboveground biomass and allocation between vegetative and reproductive parts had no obvious changes.In addition,the chemical topping increased boll weight,but slightly decreased boll number and did not significantly affect cotton yield.Both open boll percentage in late September and the first harvest seed cotton ratio were enhanced by the chemical topping with fortified DPC.Plant density influenced growth and development of cotton plants,which was characterized by shorter plants,fewer sympdials,shorter lower and middle sympodials,larger LAI as well as increased shoot biomass while plant density increased.The responses of yield and maturity to plant density differed between two years.There were no differences between plant densities in 2014 with a dry July,and the high plant density reduced yield and delayed maturity compared to the low and medium density in 2016 with a wet July.Nitrogen rate did not alter growth and development of cotton plants as well as yield and maturity.Moreover,most traits mentioned above were not significantly influenced by the interactions among topping treatment,plant density and nitrogen rate.It suggests that the cotton chemical topping with fortified DPC possibly did not require specific plant density and nitrogen rate,which was helpful for the generalization of simplified technique in Yellow River valley region.

    Abstract:To explore micro-management mechanism of agricultural non-point source pollution in Erhai Watershed and understand whether scaled farm and perception on environmental protection promoted farmers' willingness to adopt environment-friendly agricultural technology.Using the survey data of 397 rice growers in the upper reaches of Erhai Watershed,the influence factors of rice growers' environment-friendly agricultural technology adoption behavior was determined by negative binomial regression.It was concluded that:Firstly,the big scale farm and enhanced perception on environmental protection had significantly positive relation with farmers' willingness to adopt more environment-friendly agricultural technologies.Secondly,compared with farm size,perception on environmental protection posed greater influence on technology adoption.In addition,farmers' willingness to improve living environment also helped them to adopt more environment-friendly agricultural technologies.
