YUAN Yang, ZHANG Miaomiao, DOU Menglan, ZHU Chaohua
2019, 10(3): 215-221. doi: 10.15886/j.cnki.rdswxb.2019.03.001
Abstract:
Eight cover crops Stålosanthes, Paspalum notatum Flugge, Poa annua L.,Arachis pintoi,Axonopus compressus P. P, Vicia villosa Roth, Festuca elata Keng ex E. were collected, extracted and used as donors to treat 2 species of weeds(Cynodon dactylon(L.) Pers. and Bidens pilosa L.) as receptors to observe their allelopathic effects on the weeds through indoor bioassay. The results showed that the aqueous extracts of 8 cover crops produced the highest inhibiting effect on the germination rate of Cynodon dactylon, a dual effect(promotion at a low concentration but inhibition at a high concentration) on the germination rate of B. pilosa, and an obvious inhibiting effect on the growth of seedling rhizome of B. pilosa, with a higher inhibition at a higher concentration. The aqueous extracts of 8 cover crops also showed an obvious inhibitory effect on the germination rate, root length and stem length of C. dactylon.

LI Hai, MA Zhiqing, ZHANG Xing, ZHOU Yiwan
2019, 10(3): 235-239. doi: 10.15886/j.cnki.rdswxb.2019.03.005
Abstract:
Pakchoi, cucumber and cabbage were sprayed with 2% toosendanin EC, MEC or WP by using four different fan-shaped spray nozzles from a German company Lechler, ST110-03, ST110-04, ST110-05 and ST110-06, to analyze the relation between toosendanin depositon on three crops and nozzle size. The results show that the deposition of toosendanin EC and WP sprayed with droplet size between 151.7~215.3 on cucumber and cabbage leaves which had larger critical surface tension tended to increase in droplets size, but had no obvious difference between the treatments. Meanwhile the deposition of toosendanin ME on pakchoi and cucumber leaves gradually decreased with the increase of the nozzle sizes. The toosendanin deposition of the 3 preparations on the cabbage leaves decreased with increase in size of nozzles. It is suggested that nozzle ST110.03(151.7) be used to increase the deposition of toosendanin on the leaves of the tree crops.

ZHANG Weiwei, DONG Yi, ZHANG Chuanqing, ZHU Guoxian, LIU Yahui
2019, 10(3): 283-287. doi: 10.15886/j.cnki.rdswxb.2019.03.015
Abstract:
Common insecticides, Chlorantraniliprole, Emamectin, Tebuconazole, Nitenpyram, Leucine, Thiamethoxam, Cyantraniliprole and Bacillus thuringiensis were used to determine their effect on an egg parasitoid Trichogramma wasp(Trichogramma chilonis) by using insecticide-membrane method and dipping method, respectively. The results showed that Emamectin, Tebuconazole, Thiamethoxam and Cyantraniliprole were more toxic to Trichogramma wasps at the recommended concentrations in the field, with the mortality rate of the Trichogramma wasps being more than 96% after 6 h exposure. After 6 h exposure the Chlorantraniliprole treatment had a mortality rate of less than 20%, which was not significantly different from that of the acetone treatment(control). All the 10 insecticide treatments showed effects on emergence rate of the Trichogramma wasps, of which the Chlorantraniliprole treatment had the highest emergence rate, which was not significantly different from the control, and its average survival rate was 87.13%, followed by the Bacillus thuringiensis treatment which had average emergence rates of 81.55% and 80.17%, respectively, when treated at respective concentrations of 25 mg·L-1 and 33.33 mg·L-1. The Leucine treatment and the Nitenpyram treatment gave similar effect on the emergence of the Trichogramma wasps, and had average emergence rates of 25.27% and 26.60%, respectively. However, the Tebuconazole, Thiamethoxam, Cyantraniliprole and Emamectin treatments significantly affected the development of eggs, larvae and pupae of the Trichogramma wasps, of which the Emamectin treatment had the highest side effect on the Trichogramma wasps and had an average survival rate of only 7.11%(egg: F10, 44 × 248.16, P<0.01; pre-pupae: F10, 44 ≤ 468.25, P<0.01; pupae: F10, 44 ±663.71, P<0.01).

ZHANG Miaomiao, DOU Menglan, AO Su, ZHU Chaohua
2019, 10(3): 288-297. doi: 10.15886/j.cnki.rdswxb.2019.03.016
Abstract:
In order to reduce the use of chemical herbicides, different mulching patterns were used to control weeds in orchards. Plot experiments were conducted on three treatments including mulching with five species of plants, black plastic film mulching and herbicide in the experiment, with clean tillage as control. Weed species, weed density and species diversity of weed community under the treatments were observed and recorded. The results showed that the mulching treatment was low in weed species, the weed density, the species richness(S) and the population diversity(H) than the control, and that all the treatments except the herbicide treatment and the mulching treatment with Medicago sativa L. had lower dominant concentration index(C) than the control,. The evenness(J) of the weeds was less in the treatment of mulching of Desmodium heterocarpum(L.) and Stålosanthes than that of the control. This study showed that five species of plants cut for mulching can effectively reduce the growth of weeds and reduce the species diversity of weeds in the field for better control of weeds.
