Assessing the influence of environmental drivers on soybean seed yield and nitrogen fixation estimates and uncertainties in the United States
Context
Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] is one of the major crops worldwide. Identification of environmental factors that improve both yield and N2-fixation remain of high importance.
Objective
The study aimed to i) assess the effect (estimate and uncertainty) of sulfur (S) fertilization on seed yield and N2-fixation (as N derived from the atmosphere, Ndfa), and (ii) evaluate the influence of soil and weather variables on these estimates and uncertainties.
Methods
Thirty-five studies from nine US states were analyzed, comparing no fertilization (Check) with S fertilization at planting (S), using a regression tree approach to assess environmental effects on yield and Ndfa.
Results
For both treatments, precipitation from full-pod to full-seed explained 40 % of the yield variation. For the Check, [soil organic matter, SOM/(clay+silt)] was a secondary factor. For the S, seasonal precipitation above 73 mm resulted in the highest yield (4.9 Mg ha−1), with 51 % Ndfa and 135 kg ha−1 of fixed-N. Yield uncertainty, averaging 1.2 Mg ha−1, was associated with soil clay content below 11 %. Vapor-pressure-deficit from full-bloom to full-pod influenced Ndfa, accounting for 40 % of its variation between treatments. For both treatments, the highest Ndfa (∼65 %) required vapor-pressure-deficit below 0.92 kPa. Soil clay was pivotal to the uncertainty in Ndfa, explaining 34 % and 40 % of the variation for Check and S, but with a reduction in uncertainty when soil clay was above 26 %.
Conclusion
The main regulators of yield and Ndfa were precipitation, temperature, SOM, and soil texture. Sulfur fertilization moderately increased yield and Ndfa, especially in environments with high plant N-demand. Ndfa uncertainty was more related to crop growth factors, with high seed yield correlating with high Ndfa.
Implications
Future research should focus on controlled studies to improve the knowledge of the identified soil and weather factors and their interplay with seed yield and Ndfa.
期刊介绍:
The European Journal of Agronomy, the official journal of the European Society for Agronomy, publishes original research papers reporting experimental and theoretical contributions to field-based agronomy and crop science. The journal will consider research at the field level for agricultural, horticultural and tree crops, that uses comprehensive and explanatory approaches. The EJA covers the following topics:
crop physiology
crop production and management including irrigation, fertilization and soil management
agroclimatology and modelling
plant-soil relationships
crop quality and post-harvest physiology
farming and cropping systems
agroecosystems and the environment
crop-weed interactions and management
organic farming
horticultural crops
papers from the European Society for Agronomy bi-annual meetings
In determining the suitability of submitted articles for publication, particular scrutiny is placed on the degree of novelty and significance of the research and the extent to which it adds to existing knowledge in agronomy.
