Traditional methods of N determination of plant require destructive and rigorous sampling, which is also time-consuming and laborious. However, rapid and non-destructive nitrogen diagnosis has become an important area of research in precision agriculture. Heilongjiang Province, China is a cold climate rice growing area, where the growth and fertilization of rice follows a definite pattern. In the present study, two varieties of rice (Wuyoudao4 and Songjing9) and as location Heilongjiang Province were selected. Nitrogen diagnosis of rice was carried out based on airborne multi-spectrum methodology. Canopy spectral data of rice at key growth periods were obtained by using a UAV equipped with a multi-spectral camera, and agronomic parameters such as leaf N content and dry matter weight were obtained synchronically. An airborne multispectral canopy normalized vegetation index (NDVI) model for N diagnosis based on its critical concentration curve was established as a nondestructive N diagnosis of rice for cold region. Results showed that canopy NDVI can estimate rice nitrogen nutrition index (NNI) properly over the growth period. The coefficient of determination R2, root mean square error (RMSE) and standard root mean square error (nRMSE) were compared to determine the best effect of the index model. The interphase nitrogen diagnosis model of WYD-4 based on NDVI for cold region was as follows: NNI=0.3916e1.0809*NDVI (RMSE=0.12, nRMSE=12.43%), SJ-9: NNI=0.3325e1.2705*NDVI (RMSE=0.10, nRMSE =10.36%), indicating that the established model can better estimate the nitrogen status of rice.\u0000Bangladesh J.

Results showed that, the sediment after adding vermiculite was more conducive to the growth of ryegrass, and when the addition ratio was 1:1 and 1:2, the growth conditions of ryegrass were the best. The fresh weight of ryegrass in the treatment with the ratio of vermiculite and sediment at 1:1 increased by 43.94% compared to that in pure sediment; In the treatment with the ratio of 1:2, the plant height increased the most, which was 6 cm higher than that in pure sediment; When large amount of loose materials were added, the moisture content of the sediment increased compared to the pure sediment treatment; after the addition of loose materials, the bulk density of the sediment decreased, and the addition of too large amount would easily lead to a low bulk density, which was not conducive to water and fertilizer retention; The addition of vermiculite can reduce the bottom sediment.

The clay from southern Shaanxi was rolled and screened by 2mm, and the construction waste clay bricks were ground to 0-2, 2-5 and 5-7 mm. Construction waste with different particle sizes was mixed with clay in a mass ratio of 0:1 (CK), 1:1, 1:2, and 1:3. Construction waste accounted for 0, 50, 33 and 25% in the four mixed matrices, respectively. About 33~50% construction waste clay bricks with particle size of 5~7mm mixed with pure clay showed higher nutrient levels than that of pure clay. The plant height and yield of cultured pepper were the highest in construction waste clay bricks of 33~50%, with particle size of 5~7mm mixed with pure clay and the soil strength 33.2% higher than that of pure clay. This treatment provides sufficient nutrient conditions for plant growth. This not only provides sufficient nutrient conditions for pepper growth, but also meets the corresponding shear strength and suitability for clay area soil improvement, especially for clay slope stability improvement. The application value and prospect of using construction waste in land engineering construction and soil organic reconstruction and identified a new way of utilizing construction waste as a resource were explored.

Nevertheless, the regulatory functions of SA in plants, such as the response of Fritillaria hupehensis Hsiao et K.C.Hsia to exogenous SA rational application under heavy metal stress, remain unknown. This study aimed to assess the relief effects of SA on the damage of F. hupehensis caused by heavy metal cadmium (Cd), as measured by physiological and biochemical characteristics. The results showed that bulb germination and seedling growth of F. hupehensis Hsiao et k. c. Hsia decreased under different Cd toxicity treatments. The radicle length and mitotic index also significantly decreased under Cd stress (P < 0.05), especially under high concentrations of Cd stress. The bulb germination and seedling growth increased slightly under medium concentration treatment compared to low concentration treatment. Cd toxicity treatment significantly reduced the contents of pigment, protein, and sugar in seedlings compared with the control. The contents of total antioxidants and malondialdehyde in Cd-poisoned seedlings increased significantly. The comprehensive treatment promoted the growth of bulbs and seedlings. As a result of Cd stress, SA application significantly increased the bulb germination rate, radicle length, mitotic index, pigment, protein, and sugar content. Lipid peroxidation and total antioxidants were decreased by comprehensive treatments compared with Cd toxicity treatment. This simple study remarkably broadened our understanding of the application and protection of SA in Cd stress.\u0000Bangladesh J.
