The effects of plant density, planting pattern, and their combination on the solar radiation interception and conversion, biomass accumulation, harvest index, and grain yield were investigated. In response to an increase in plant density from lower to higher and a shift from CP to WSP and their combination, grain yield increased by 15.43 %, 10.85 % and 27.62 % for cultivar Taimai198, and by 13.13 %, 8.31 % and 22.41 % for Shannong30, respectively. The larger increases in grain yield were mainly ascribed to enhanced dry matter production, in particular after anthesis with no variation or a slight decline in the harvest index. The higher plant density was the dominant driver of the enhanced radiation interception, whereas WSP was mainly responsible for ameliorating the reduction in radiation use efficiency (RUE) caused by the higher plant density. The combined effects of these two management practices in increasing grain yield were much greater than the independent effects of a shift from CP to WSP or an increase in plant density.

This study amassed four year of field trial data from four primary maize ecological areas in China (Longitude: 89°E to 125°E, Latitude: 35°N to 44°N) to examine the relationship between plant density and MC of maize. Our analysis revealed that increasing plant density exerted an effect on the MC of maize. This effect stemmed from a combination of uncertain grain development and premature plant senescence due to overcrowding. We categorized the relationship between plant density and MC into six types: NC-Type (No-changing), I-Type (ever-increasing), L-Type (ever-lessening), V-Type (like the valley), P-Type (like the peak), and W-Type (like a wave). On average, a variation approximately 0.053 % in MC was observed when the plant population changed by 1000 plants/ha. Moreover, different maize varieties contributed to a more substantial variation in MC. Despite the negligible impact of MC variation caused by plant density on grain quality, subsequent harvest management, and industrial production of maize, there was a significant enhancement in maize yield with increased plant density.

However, the effects of long-term manure application on maize yield, micronutrient levels, and nutritional quality under a maize-soybean rotation system have not been fully elucidated. This study investigates the impact of long-term manure application on maize yield, the micronutrients content of grains, and grain nutritional quality in a maize-soybean rotation. Our results indicate that consistent manure application significantly enhances maize yield. Compared to the long-term chemical fertilizers only, the addition of manure increased the Fe, Mn, Cu, and Zn concentrations of the grains. In addition, the highest grain protein concentration was observed when treated with manure. Concentrations of protein fractions such as globulins, gliadins, and glutenins were found to be higher with a low manure application (13.5 t ha<sup>−1</sup>) compared to high manure application (27 t ha<sup>−1</sup>). The optimum increments in essential amino acids (EAA) and the ratios of essential to nonessential amino acids (EAA/NAA) was observed under low manure addition treatment. Collectively, incorporating manure into a long-term maize-soybean crop rotation not only escalates yields but also critically enhances the nutritional profile of maize grains through an increase in micronutrients and by promoting balance of proteins and amino acids within the grain. In the long run, low manure addition is more conducive to improving the nutritional quality of grains under crop rotation systems.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":54198,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Agricultural Science","volume":"69 1","pages":"Pages 19-32"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0570178324000034/pdfft?md5=87bdf5768c10dfc9edb69f332bbe107f&pid=1-s2.0-S0570178324000034-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141424425","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Grazing and Se addition are two common management practices in the regional grasslands, but their interactions with the vegetation growth of alpine meadows in the QTP remain largely unknown. Here, we conducted a two−year field experiment (2017 and 2018) to explore the effects of grazing [two stocking rates (0 and 6 sheep months ha<sup>−1</sup>)] and Se addition [six Se addition levels (0, 5, 10, 20, 40 and 80 g ha<sup>−1</sup>)] on above−ground biomass (AGB), below−ground biomass (BGB), root−to−shoot ratio (R/S), species richness and Shannon−Wiener's diversity index of an alpine meadow at the Maqu county in the Eastern QTP. The results indicate that AGB peaked at a Se addition rate of 21 g ha<sup>−1</sup> combined with no grazing (i.e., exclosure) and at a rate of 20 g ha<sup>−1</sup> Se addition with a stocking rate of 6 sheep months ha<sup>−1</sup>; BGB was highest under a Se addition of 23.5 g ha<sup>−1</sup> (under exclosure) and 23 g ha<sup>−1</sup> (under grazing). After Se addition, the species richness and Shannon−Wiener index of the alpine meadow under the grazing treatment were significantly lower than those in the exclosure treatment, which was mainly driven by the reduction of sedges and forbs. The structural equation model showed that grazing reduced the biomass of sedge, gramineae, and forbs, while Se addition increased the soil available nitrogen and phosphorus content and promoted the growth of sedge, gramineae, and forbs. Our results suggested that moderate grazing combined with Se addition is a suitable management method for maintaining alpine meadow productivity.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":54198,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Agricultural Science","volume":"69 1","pages":"Pages 67-77"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0570178324000071/pdfft?md5=1dd0e546b5bf784a16832b544ba45953&pid=1-s2.0-S0570178324000071-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142011362","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
