    Abstract ( 60 )   HTML ( 801 )   PDF (3345KB) ( 180 )  

    Using the etiolation mutant y103 and the normal leaf colored plant w3 as materials, the main agronomic traits, genetic law, and chlorophyll content were studied. It was found that the mutant began to exhibit yellowing of leaf color during the cotyledon stage, with light yellow cotyledons and light yellow true leaves throughout the growth period. The plant was short and grew slowly, with significantly lower fruit quality than the normal plant, and the fruit quality was only 47.0% of the fruit quality of the normal plant. During the seedling and flowering stages, the chlorophyll content significantly decreased compared with the normal plants. A 3-generation population was constructed using a mutant and a normal leaf color inbred line as parents. The genetic law of the etiolation trait of the mutant was analyzed, and the results showed that the etiolation trait of the mutant was not completely controlled by a dominant single gene, which named YD. When the gene is heterozygous (YDga), it manifests as leaf yellowing.

    WANG Ze, ZHANG Mingkui
    2024, 65 (11):  2607-2611.  DOI: 10.16178/j.issn.0528-9017.20230840
    Abstract ( 62 )   HTML ( 719 )   PDF (1152KB) ( 197 )  

    To understand the possible changes in soil fertility and soil health status of the orchards caused by facility plantation, four orchards with both facility and open field plantation were selected in Zhejiang Province. Soil samples were collected from both facility and open field from orchards and their physical, chemical, and biological indicates were characterized for comparing the differences and similarities in soil properties between two orchards. The results showed that facility plantation could lead to a decrease in pH value of the surface soil, a significant accumulation of available phosphorus, available potassium, NH4-N, NO3-N, and salinity, and an increase in soil compaction. The pH value of the surface soil in facility orchards was lower than those in open orchards. The average content of available phosphorus, available potassium, NH4-N, NO3-N, and salt in the former increased by 51.36%, 58.86%, 331.64%, and 167.45% and 41.18%, respectively, as compared with the latter. However, facility plantation had a relatively small impact on soil bulk density, organic carbon, and available nitrogen. Facility plantation reduced the content of >0.25 mm water stable aggregates of topsoil, increased the number of fungi and sucrase activity, and decreased bacterial and soil urease activity. Compared with open field plantation, facility plantation showed a decrease of 4.82%-11.82% in the content of >0.25 mm water stable aggregates in the topsoil, an increase of 19.91%-26.53% and 11.37%-38.64% in the number of soil fungi and sucrase activity, respectively. The number of soil bacteria and urease activity decreased by 20.62%-28.27% and 15.05%-22.36%, respectively.

There may be a solution to this decline syndrome by applying bio-organic fertilizers. In this study, three types of bio-organic fertilizer prototypes were developed and applied based on preliminary investigation and considering the special nutrient needs of bayberry trees. The organic fertilizer carrier used in these prototypes was silkworm, which was co-inoculated with Bacillus licheniformis, Bacillus velezensis, and Microbacterium phyllosphaerae. The effects of these bio-organic fertilizer prototypes on soil improvement and fruit quality enhancement were investigated by measuring the rhizosphere soil properties and fruit of declined trees. The results showed that compared with the control group, all three bio-organic fertilizers could increase the soil pH value by about 0.2, and could alleviate the soil acidification problem. They also increased the contents of available nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in the soil while maintaining soil organic matter content. In addition, the soluble solids content in bayberry fruits increased by 1.44, 1.70, 1.47 percentage points, respectively, with the maximum single fruit weight reaching 22.5 g. The fruit hardness was reduced, and the taste was improved. This study provides a theoretical and application basis for the development of specialized bio-organic fertilizers for bayberry to mitigate the adverse effects of the newly emerged bayberry decline symptoms.

    Abstract ( 68 )   HTML ( 769 )   PDF (3309KB) ( 177 )  

    To clarify the taxonomic category and related biological functions of Bacillus sp. strain HZ179, morphological, physiological and biochemical characteristics, as well as 16S rDNA and gyrB sequence analysis were conducted. Effects of strain HZ179 on the growth index, defense enzyme activity, and tannin content of pepper seedlings were determined through pot experiments; and the antibacterial activity on symbiont of Aphis gossypii was evaluated by diagnostic PCR method. The results indicated that strain HZ179 belonged to Bacillus velezensis. The plant height, stem diameter, dry weight, root to shoot ratio, and seedling strength index of seedlings irrigated with 100 times diluted HZ179 powder increased by 44.19%, 15.70%, 22.47%, 16.18%, and 16.71% respectively, compared with the control. And the activities of enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), polyphenol oxidase (PPO), phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL), and the content of tannin in leaves were significantly enhanced and maintained at a high level for 14 days. The infection species and infection rates of symbiont in Aphis gossypii in the HZ179 treatment group were lower than those in the control group. B. velezensis strain HZ179 could promote the growth of pepper seedlings, induce systemic resistance, and inhibite symbiont of Aphis gossypii.

    YAO Zhangliang, SHEN Yuejun, XU Weidong, LU Qiang
    2024, 65 (11):  2636-2640.  DOI: 10.16178/j.issn.0528-9017.20230751
    Abstract ( 67 )   HTML ( 786 )   PDF (1701KB) ( 182 )  

    Chilo suppressalis is a major pest in rice. In order to determine the rhythm of the overwintering generation of Chilo suppressalis to the search light traps, we divided the night into 11 time points (19:00-20:00、20:00-21:00、21:00-22:00、22:00-23:00、23:00-0:00、0:00-1:00、1:00-2:00、2:00-3:00、3:00-4:00、4:00-5:00和5:00-6:00) from April 1 to May 31, and used four intelligent light to investigate the number of Chilo suppressalis at each time point respectively, at Chongfu Town, Shimen Town, Wuzhen town and Tudian Town, respectively. Four chronological peaks of the moth populations in different periods of the overwintering generation differed greatly. The first peak obviously occurred only at Chongfu during 20:00-21:00, with the trapped number accounting for 19.48% of the first peak. The second peak attracted the largest amount of moths in overwintering generation, reaching the climax during 20:00-21:00 that took up 19.67%, 20.42% and 19.31% of the second peak respectively in Chongfu, Shimen and Tudian town. According to the third and forth peak, it got to the climax during 22:00-23:00, 23:00-0:00, 1:00-2:00 and 1:00-3:00, 1:00-2:00, 21:00-22:00, respectively in Chongfu, Shimen and Tudian. No obvious moth peaks was detected at the Wuzhen. On the whole, the peak amount of the trapped moths appeared during 20:00-21:00, and the trapped amount in the first half of the night was close to 60%. The first peak was similar to the second one in terms of the rhythm of response to search light trap of the moths in overwintering generation, meanwhile, the rhythms of the two peaks above differed greatly from those of the third and the forth one. We found that the rhythm of Chilo suppressalis in different overwintering places is different, which can provide a theoretical basis for the local rice green control and ecological management of the moths.

    2024, 65 (11):  2641-2644.  DOI: 10.16178/j.issn.0528-9017.20231101
    Abstract ( 91 )   HTML ( 779 )   PDF (1127KB) ( 254 )  

    Clubroot disease is a major soil-borne disease affecting cabbage yield. In order to screen for effective and safe fungicides for controlling clubroot disease in cabbage, five commonly used fungicides were selected for field efficacy trials. The results showed that the control efficacy of the three chemical fungicides was superior to that of the two biological fungicides. And the control efficacy of 30% fluazinam and cyazofamid suspension was slightly lower than the other two chemical fungicides. Based on the experimental results, we recommend the use of 100 g·L-1 cyazofamid suspension (180 mL per 667 m2) and 50% fluazinam suspension (333 mL per 667 m2) as the preferred fungicides for controlling clubroot disease in cabbage.

    Effects of regional rice cropping structure changes on the occurrence of the population of Chilo suppressalis
    SUN Xiaoyu, DAI Dejiang, FANG Hui, CHEN Hong
    2024, 65 (11):  2645-2649.  DOI: 10.16178/j.issn.0528-9017.20230892
    Abstract ( 67 )   HTML ( 905 )   PDF (1267KB) ( 198 )  

    In order to explore the impact of regional rice cropping structure changes on the occurrence of the population of Chilo suppressalis, the population of Chilo suppressalis under the lamp and rice crop data from 2013 to 2022 in Linhai City were analyzed. The results showed that with the decrease of the proportion of single-season rice planting area in the annual rice cropping structure, and the increase of the proportion of early rice and continuous late rice area, the rice cropping pattern was transitioned from single-season main planting mode to obvious single-double mixed planting mode, which led to the increase of the cumulative moth population of Chilo suppressalis throughout the year, and the main generation of adult insect pests moved from overwintering generation to second generation. The proportion of the overwintering generation of the moth in the annual moth volume was significantly negatively correlated with the proportion of the annual early rice area and the proportion of the annual continuous cropping late rice area, and was significantly positively correlated with the proportion of the annual single-cropping rice area. The proportion of the second-generation moth in the annual moth volume was significantly positively correlated with the proportion of early rice area and the proportion of late rice area under continuous cropping, and negatively correlated with the proportion of single-cropping rice area in the whole year. Rational adjustment of rice cropping structure in the region is an effective means to control the population of Chilo suppressalis and reduce its occurrence and damage.

    MENG Pengxiang, ZHU Yan, WANG Xiaoxuan, SHANG Jintao
    2024, 65 (11):  2665-2667.  DOI: 10.16178/j.issn.0528-9017.20230879
    Abstract ( 59 )   HTML ( 373 )   PDF (1115KB) ( 302 )  

    Weeds in direct-sowing rice fields show that there are multiple types, high density, long grass emergence duration, and serious harm. With the continuous expansion of large-scale planting areas, the field management is relatively extensive, resulting in unsatisfactory soil sealing and weed control effects. Due to the long-term and widespread use of herbicides such as bensulfuron methyl, cyhalothrin, and pentafluorosulfonamide, the problem of weed resistance has become increasingly prominent. The “one seal, one elimination” technology is difficult to effectively control weed damage and seriously affects grain production. Therefore, it is necessary to explore new technologies for weed control in direct-sowing rice fields. This study conducted a weed control experiment in direct-sowing rice fields by combining soil sealing with stem and leaf treatment. The results showed that after 20 days of treatment, each treatment had a control effect of over 90% on Ammannia arenaria, Fimbristylis miliacea (L.)Vahl.,Cyperus difformis L., and total weeds.

    Abstract ( 66 )   HTML ( 472 )   PDF (1130KB) ( 146 )  

    The study aimed to explore the control effects of imidazolinone herbicides on common weeds and weedy rice in the fields of clear rice, as well as the resistance of different weedy rice species to imazethapyr. Field experiments were conducted to control various weeds by spraying different concentrations of imazethapyr solution at different stages, and pot experiments were conducted to identify the resistance of weedy rice. The results showed that spraying imazethapyr 20 days after rice seeding controlled weedy rice in the field effectively, with a control efficiency of 92.8% at a low concentration of 1 200 mL·hm-2. Early application resulted in a control efficiency below 90% generally, while late application required higher dosages to achieve better control efficiency. Moderate and high concentrations of imazethapyr demonstrated good control efficiency against Echinochloa crusgalli and Leptochloa chinensis, but poor control against broadleaf weeds such as Ammannia multiflora and Ludwigia prostrata. The resistance identification results indicated that the weedy rice species from different regions tested were sensitive to imazethapyr, showing no significant resistance.

    2024, 65 (11):  2676-2679.  DOI: 10.16178/j.issn.0528-9017.20230712
    Abstract ( 75 )   HTML ( 330 )   PDF (1149KB) ( 319 )  

    In order to clarify the field efficient release application technology of Trichogramma japonicum against the first generation of Chilo suppressalis in early-season rice fields, we conducted a study on the control effects of Trichogramma japonicum under different wasp release initiation time, release amount and number of releases,as well as in combination with chemical control in Zhenhai and Fenghua District of Ningbo City from 2017 to 2018. The results showed that control effect of wasp release from the initial emergence period, the beginning peak period and peak period was best, with a control effect of 54.06%. While the number of releases remained unchanged, control effects of release 40 000 and 50 000 every 667 m2 were 65.65% and 67.32%, respectively,which were significantly higher than the effect of 30 000 every 667 m2.While the total release amount remained unchanged, the control effects of release times of 3 and 4, were significantly higher than the control effects of release times of 2. The control effect of times of 3 followed by one time of chemical control can significantly improve the comprehensive control effect against the Chilo suppressalis and its control effect was equivalent to that of two times of chemical control. Therefore, in order to ensure the control measures of releasing Trichogramma japonicum are cost-effective,it is necessary to determine the reasonable release time, amount and frequency based on the actual occurrence of the overwintering generation of Chilo suppressalis, when Trichogramma japonicum was applied to control the first generation of Chilo suppressalis in early-season rice fields.

    2024, 65 (11):  2693-2702.  DOI: 10.16178/j.issn.0528-9017.20240181
    Abstract ( 64 )   HTML ( 21 )   PDF (15271KB) ( 185 )  

    TCP protein is the plant specific transcription factors, which plays an important role in the aspects of plant growth and development, signal transduction and biochemical stimulation response. In this research, we systematically screened the family members of TCP gene of Carica papaya and analyzed their phylogenetic relationship, conserved motifs, conserved domains, gene structure, protein tertiary structure and expression pattern in fruit maturation by using the bioinformatics methods. The results showed that 22 TCP genes existed in the Carica papaya TCP gene family. TCP gene family could be divided into two classes: Class Ⅰ and Class Ⅱ, and Class Ⅱ could be further classified into two subclasses (CYC/TB1 and CIN). Within the same subgroup, TCP proteins had similar conserved motifs and conserved domains, and there were large differences between different subgroups, indicating that different types of TCP proteins might have unique physiological functions. The 22 family members all had bHLH (basic-helix-loop-helix) conserved region and their genetic structure consisted of 1-7 exon and 1-6 introns; Gene expression in Class Ⅱ subgroup decreased significantly with fruit ripening, so it was assumed that Class Ⅱ subgroup had no effect on fruit ripening or inhibited fruit ripening. The above results would be helpful to reveal the function of TCP gene family members in Carica papaya.

    Abstract ( 56 )   HTML ( 23 )   PDF (4619KB) ( 119 )  

    The new flue-cured tobacco variety Yunongxiang 201 is a mutant of Zhongyan 100. In order to explore the suitable curing technology for the middle leaves of Yunongxiang 201, using Zhongyan 100 as control, the characteristics of yellowing, browning, water loss, chlorophyll degradation, polyphenol oxidase activity(PPO) changes, amylase activity changes were studied by using dark chamber and electric-heated flue-curing barn. The complete yellowing time of Yunongxiang 201 was 48 h, and the browning degree was still less than 30% after 168 h of dark chamber treatment, and the yellowing and browning characteristics were better. The equilibrium of water loss was 1.10, and the degradation rate of chlorophyll was 1.30%·h-1 at 72 h, and the degradation amount was 93.68%, indicating good degradation characteristics. The average activity of polyphenol oxidase was 0.29 U, and the roasting tolerance was good. The amylase activity of Yunongxiang 201 was higher than that of Zhongyan 100. The basic characteristics, appearance quality and sensory quality of flue-cured leaves of Yunongxiang 210 after curing were better than those of Zhongyan 100. It is generally believed that the smoke in the middle part of Yunongxiang 201 has good roasting ability and good roasting resistance. Compared with Zhongyan 100, the yellowing time was reduced by about 6 h, and the color fixing time was reduced by about 4 h.

    2024, 65 (11):  2733-2737.  DOI: 10.16178/j.issn.0528-9017.20230353
    Abstract ( 57 )   HTML ( 17 )   PDF (1297KB) ( 201 )  

    In this study, the effects of disease and insect pests on nutrient composition of mulberry leaves and the growth and economic characteristics of silkworm were analyzed, and the possibility of using disease and pest affected mulberry leaves to reduce the loss of silkworm was discussed. Normal mulberry leaves, brown spot mulberry leaves and red spider insect mulberry leaves were collected to detect the nutritional components of each group. The effects of disease and pest affected mulberry leaves on silkworm were analyzed through silkworm rearing experiments. The results showed that the contents of crude fat and soluble sugar in diseased mulberry leaves were significantly higher than those in normal mulberry leaves, while the contents of total amino acid and crude fiber were significantly lower than those in normal mulberry leaves. The contents of total amino acid and crude protein in pest affected mulberry leaves were significantly higher than those in normal mulberry leaves, while the contents of crude fat and soluble sugar were significantly lower than those in normal mulberry leaves. The results of silkworm rearing experiments showed that mulberry leaves had a great effect on cocoon quality, but had no significant effect on cocoon production and growth of ten thousand silkworm. The yield of mulberry leaves was damaged by brown spot and red spider, but it still had feeding value. Timely harvest for silkworm rearing can reduce loss and increase yield.

    ZHANG Lei, DU Jinyue, DU Fangya
    2024, 65 (11):  2738-2741.  DOI: 10.16178/j.issn.0528-9017.20230837
    Abstract ( 48 )   HTML ( 20 )   PDF (1130KB) ( 179 )  

    The purpose of this experiment is to investigate the effects of drinking water type basil oil-citric acid composite formulation on the production performance and gut microbiota of broiler chickens. 150 3-week-old Chuzhou Sanhuang broiler chickens were selected and randomly divided into 2 groups, with 3 replicates in each group and 25 chickens in each replicate. The control group drank clean water. The drinking water of the experimental group was supplemented with 0.1% basil oil-citric acid composite formulation throughout the first and fifth weeks, and did not add during the remaining time periods. Both groups were fed with mid stage complete compound feed for broiler chickens. The experimental period is a total of 7 weeks. The results showed that adding 0.1% basil oil-citric acid composite formulation to drinking water could significantly increase the average body weight and daily weight gain of broilers, increase the number of Lactobacillus in feces at week 3, and reduce the number of Escherichia coli. However, there was no effect on the number of cecal microbiota at week 7. It indicates that adding 0.1% basil oil-citric acid composite formulation to drinking water can significantly improve the production performance of broilers.

    2024, 65 (11):  2747-2750.  DOI: 10.16178/j.issn.0528-9017.20230925
    Abstract ( 67 )   HTML ( 20 )   PDF (1206KB) ( 288 )  

    The production of silage from soybean and maize is increasingly valued in the development of animal husbandry in Jiangsu Province. To explore the suitable silage soybean varieties for maize and soybean strip intercropping, 76 soybean materials were compared with corn Kehua 666 in a ratio of 2∶2 strip intercropping mixed silage with soybean and maize single cropping single storage. The flowering period, plant height, and yield per unit area of soybean silage were analyzed, and suitable soybean varieties were selected. The results showed that under intercropping conditions, the flowering period of soybean had a relatively small impact, and the plant height was increased to varying degrees due to the influence of shading. The silage yield of late flowering soybean significantly increased, and the total silage yield significantly increased. In summary, the mixed cropping and harvesting silage model of silage soybean and silage maize not only improves land use efficiency but also increases silage yield, which has good prospects for promotion and utilization.

    2024, 65 (11):  2751-2757.  DOI: 10.16178/j.issn.0528-9017.20230504
    Abstract ( 61 )   HTML ( 20 )   PDF (4004KB) ( 233 )  

    Soil acidification coupled with high contents of aluminum loads in red soils in the Southeast of China, posing a great threat to soil fertility and plant growth. The application of soil amendments is an effective way to improve acidified soil, remediate heavy metal pollution, and improve crop productivities. Here our study selected four soil amendments such as coconut, lime, biochar and plant ash, and conducted a 180-day greenhouse pot trial, to explore the effects of soil amendments on soil properties, plant growth and physiology of Hongmeiren, and soil microbial communities. The results showed that the four amendments significantly improved the soil acidification, reduced the aluminum contents, and increased soil carbon and nitrogen contents; the application of soil amendments had no significant effect on the root activity, but increased β-carotenoid contents of leaves of Hongmeiren; structure of soil bacterial community had significantly been changed, especially reducing the relative abundances of Proteobacteria and Pseudomonas; zero model (null model) revealed that the microbial assembly process was a deterministic process rather than stochastic process. These findings indicate that soil amendments could effectively alleviate the acidification of soil, promote plant photosynthesis, increase energy substances, and change the assembly mechanism of soil microbial community.

    Pollution characteristics and source analysis of heavy metals in a sediment core of Beiji island in Wenzhou
    CHEN Xingxing, LU Rongmao, LIU Weicheng, ZHOU Chaosheng
    2024, 65 (11):  2758-2764.  DOI: 10.16178/j.issn.0528-9017.20230702
    Abstract ( 55 )   HTML ( 20 )   PDF (3730KB) ( 118 )  

    In December 2022, a sediment core sample was obtained from the Beiji area of Wenzhou and analyzed for the presence of five heavy metals, namely copper (Cu), lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), zinc (Zn) and chromium (Cr), across different sediment layers ranging from 0 to 40 cm. Enrichment factors (EF) were calculated to ascertain the extent of metal concentration in the samples. Results revealed that the concentrations and EF values of most heavy metals peaked or showed a high value area at around 30 cm in the subsurface layer. This observation can be attributed to the high-intensity anthropogenic emissions of heavy metals around Beiji Island during the 1980s and 1990s. Pearson correlation analysis was carried out to explore the factors that control the vertical distribution of heavy metals in sediments of Beiji Island. The results showed that the key controlling factors of the five heavy metals varied. The results found that the key controlling factors for the five heavy metals varied. The inputs of Cu, Pb, Zn, and Cr were mainly influenced by human activities, whereas the source of the heavy metal Cd was not related to anthropogenic activities.

    Evolution characteristics of farmland soil quality in alluvial plain area of lower Yangtze River based on time series
    HAN Linrui, HU Danyang, SU Baowei, ZHANG Yalu, ZHANG Huan, GAO Chao
    2024, 65 (11):  2765-2771.  DOI: 10.16178/j.issn.0528-9017.20230493
    Abstract ( 68 )   HTML ( 20 )   PDF (1840KB) ( 140 )  

    In order to reveal the evolution trend and influencing factors of soil quality under the influence of human activities, soil chronosequence of 0, 60, 160, 280, 2 000 and 3 000 years were established in typical areas along the Yangtze River Plain in the lower reaches and the differences of soil physicochemical properties under different reclamation time and land use were analyzed. The survey results indicated that the carbonate in the surface soil was rapidly lost after reclamation, and the soil gradually changed from weakly alkaline to weakly acidic. After 3 000 years of reclamation, the pH value of the dryland soil decreases by about 2. Under the long-term rotation of water and drought, the degree of acidification is slightly lower due to the alternation of soil salinization and redox during the rice season. After a considerable period of time after reclamation, soil organic carbon (SOC), total nitrogen (TN), and available nitrogen (AN) contents showed a gradual accumulation trend. While the inorganic carbon in the surface soil gradually decreased, SOC overall increased compared with before reclamation, indicating that tillage and fertilization measures are beneficial to the accumulation of SOC and nutrients to a certain extent. However, the polder areas with the longest history of reclamation have varying degrees of decrease in SOC, TN, and AN contents. Total phosphorus(TP)and available phosphorus(AP)contents increase in the early stages of reclamation, but continue to decrease in the later stages. Under the use of water drought rotation, the problem of soil phosphorus depletion is particularly prominent, indicating that the input of nutrients in the farmland in the area is in a state of varying degrees of deficiency. Under the current management mode, the degradation of soil fertility quality should be paid enough attention.

    HU Zhuangjin
    2024, 65 (11):  2772-2779.  DOI: 10.16178/j.issn.0528-9017.20230374
    Abstract ( 103 )   HTML ( 24 )   PDF (2145KB) ( 210 )  

    This paper analyzed the objectives and current situation of the implementation of comprehensive land consolidation in the whole area(CLCWA) in Donglin Town, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province, and presented the current problems of the project in terms of reclaimed land quality, villagers' income and willingness to relocate, industry introduction, overall planning, and land circulation capacity and system. This paper argued that the area-wide land reclamation in Donglin Town has certain replicability, but innate factors such as better economic foundation, clearer land ownership, and more convenient industrial introduction also need to be considered when the approach is replicated and implemented in other places. Integrating the No. 1 Central Document in 2023 and academic views, the author proposes solutions such as the integrated development of rural elements, promoting rural land policy reform, breaking administrative division restrictions to carry out remediation in a wider area, optimizing the spatial layout of rural areas, and promoting high-quality development of rural industries.

    Abstract ( 55 )   HTML ( 20 )   PDF (73468KB) ( 132 )  

    In the past 20 years, Zhejiang Province has always insisted on deepening the “Thousand Village Demonstration and Ten Thousand Village Renovation Project” to create thousands of characteristic villages. In this paper, 16 categories and 5 194 (counting duplicative) characteristic villages officially named in Zhejiang Province were sorted out, and the development evaluation index system of characteristic villages was constructed through model method and GIS geographical analysis, and the development index of characteristic villages was obtained. Moreover, the coupling degree calculation model was used to calculate the three-dimensional and two-dimensional coupling coordination degree index to analyze the spatial distribution characteristics of such characteristic villages. The results showed that the characteristic villages in Zhejiang Province can be categorized into three dimensions: residential, cultural, and tourism, with a dominant structure featuring a primary focus on residential aspects and balanced cultural and tourism dimensions. The three types of characteristic villages are generally at the medium level of development, and the leading characteristic villages account for relatively few, showing certain spatial differentiation characteristics. Among the characteristic villages in the province, 92 have realized three-dimensional fusion, 723 have realized two-dimensional fusion, and in general, they are in a high level coupling state.

    Abstract ( 80 )   HTML ( 27 )   PDF (1240KB) ( 279 )  

    During the “14th Five-Year Plan” period, the state has put forward higher requirements for the reduction of chemical fertilizer: By 2025, the application amount of agricultural chemical fertilizer in the country has achieved a steady decline, and the fertilizer utilization rate of the three major food crops has reached 43%. At present, Wenzhou has achieved a continuous decrease in the amount of agricultural fertilizer, an increase in the proportion of formula fertilizer, a gradual optimization of fertilizer structure, a fertilizer intensity lower than the average level in Zhejiang Province, and positive results in fertilizer reduction through technical approaches such as soil testing and formula fertilization, fertilizer reduction and efficiency increase and fertilizer quota. In order to carry out the fertilizer reduction work in Wenzhou in the new stage, this paper analyzes the problems existing in the process of fertilizer reduction, such as the bottleneck of technology landing, the need to further improve the policy support, and the weak promotion system of grassroots agricultural technicians. Based on the experience of fertilizer reduction in developed countries, the feasibility of continuously promoting fertilizer reduction in Wenzhou in the new stage was put forward, and the development direction of fertilizer reduction was pointed out by reducing fertilizer application intensity. In combination with the actual situation of Wenzhou, countermeasures and suggestions for fertilizer reduction in the next stage were further proposed.
