【摘要】 密植条件下玉米地上部及根系生长均受到抑制。以澄海3719(DH3719)为材料,通过种植密度×施氮量2因素4处理田间试验,研究了密植条件下玉米地上部及根系生长受抑制的因果关系。结果表明,高密度群体具有较高的叶面积指数(LAI),但拔节期后单株叶面积、冠根干物重、茎粗、总根长及含氮量均小于低密度种植的植株,生长受到抑制。叶面积与根长的消长变化趋势相同,各生育期不同处理植株的冠根比没有明显差异。吐丝期剪去穗位叶以上连续两个叶片或切去地上部最上层节根均减少了植株体内的氮素累积。尽管剪叶使根系生物量的减少远远低于切根的影响,但剪叶造成植株含氮量的减少多于切根的影响。综合结果表明,密植引起地上部生长空间竞争加剧,使地上部生长受到抑制,从而影响根系生长。更多还原

【Abstract】 Increased plant density decreased both shoot and root growth of maize plant.The causal relationship of the decreased shoot and root growth was studied through a field experiment with 2 factors(i.e.plant density and nitrogen application rate) and 4 replications using DH3719,highyield maize(Zea mays L.)genotype.The results showed that the plants with higher plant density had higher LAI.On the other hand,the total leaf area,shoot and root dry weight,stem diameter,total root length and nitrogen content of the individual plant with higher density were lower than those of the plant with low plant density,especially after six-leaf stage,when plants began to show competition on above growth space.The changes in total leaf area and root length of single plant during the growth period showed the similar pattern.Also,shoot/root dry weight ratios of the different treated plants at each growth stage were not different.Total N accumulation in single plant was decreased when two leaves above ear leaf were cut off or the up whorl of the shoot-borne roots was removed at the tasselling stage. In comparison,less N was taken up in the former treated plants than that in the later treated ones,in spite of the less influence of cutting off leaves than removing the up whorl of the shoot-borne roots on root dry weight.In conclusion,higher plant density caused increased competition on above ground space between plants,resulted in decreased shoot growth and therefore decreased root growth.更多还原
