摘要:

牛筋草(Eleusine indica)是世界性恶性杂草, 为安徽省沿江棉区优势杂草, 而棉花(陆地棉, Gossypium hirsutum)对杂草竞争十分敏感。该研究旨在明确牛筋草对棉花的密度竞争作用及其防治临界期, 为棉田牛筋草的综合防治提供理论依据。2010-2012年在安徽省安庆市实验地, 密度竞争实验采用添加系列实验方法, 棉花密度保持不变, 设置8个牛筋草密度(0、0.125、0.25、0.5、1、2、3、4株·m-1)与棉花全生育期竞争; 防治临界期实验分别设置不同的牛筋草除草临界期和无杂草临界期(0、2、4、6、8、10、12、14、20周), 研究不同牛筋草密度以及2.5株·m-1密度下不同除草临界期和无杂草临界期对棉花生长、子棉产量及其构成因素的影响。随着牛筋草密度增加, 牛筋草株高逐渐降低, 分别在牛筋草密度为3株·m-1 (2011年)和0.25株·m-1 (2012年),较0.125株·m-1显著降低。3年数据平均后, 牛筋草生物量由715 kg·hm-2 (0.125株·m-1)逐渐增加到4 148 kg·hm-2 (4株·m-1); 在较高密度, 牛筋草种内竞争明显。2012年随着牛筋草与棉花共生时间延长, 牛筋草单株分蘖数和生物量逐渐增加; 在共同竞争前12周, 牛筋草株高均大于棉花。随着牛筋草密度增加, 棉花株高和茎直径呈降低趋势, 单株果枝数、铃数显著减少, 较高密度牛筋草降低棉花单铃重, 衣分没有明显变化。其中2012年2株·m-1及以上密度的牛筋草显著降低棉花株高; 2011年3株·m-1及以上密度和2012年4株·m-1牛筋草显著降低棉花茎直径。1株·m-1的牛筋草密度导致棉花单株果枝数减少8.7%-11.6%, 铃数减少18.6%-35.2%, 单铃重减少0.1%-4.6%。引起子棉显著减产的牛筋草密度分别是0.125株·m-1 (2010和2012年)和0.25株·m-1 (2011年), 导致子棉减产10%-18%; 单株铃数及子棉产量损失率与牛筋草密度符合双曲线模型, 由此预测导致单株铃数减少50%的牛筋草密度为2.3-3.7株·m-1, 致使子棉减产率达5%的牛筋草密度为0.05-0.09株·m-1。随着牛筋草与棉花竞争时间的延长, 棉花株高、茎直径逐渐减少, 单株果枝数、铃数显著降低, 子棉产量显著降低; 杂草竞争时间与子棉相对产量高度符合Logistic模型。无杂草时间延长则导致棉花株高、茎直径增加, 单株果枝数、铃数和子棉产量显著增加; 子棉相对产量随无杂草时间的变化趋势高度符合Gompertz模型。当设定子棉产量损失阈值为5%时, 2.5株·m-1密度下牛筋草防治临界期在棉花播种后35-83天。

Abstract:

Aims Goosegrass (Eleusine indica), one of the world’s malignant weeds, is also a widespread weed in the cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) fields along the Yangtze River in Anhui. Cotton is highly sensitive to weed competition. This research aims to determine the density competition effect of goosegrass on cotton and to identify its critical period for control, thereby allowing farmers to make well-formed decisions to further improve the management of goosegrass in cotton fields.

Methods From 2010 to 2012, two experiments were conducted at an experimental site in Anqing, Anhui. In the density competition experiment, an additive series was used. The cotton density was kept constant while eight densities of goosegrass (0, 0.125, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, and 4 plants·m-1) were tested. This aimed to determine the effects of varying goosegrass densities on cotton growth and yield. In the critical control period experiment, different durations of weed interference and weed-free periods (0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 20 weeks after crop emergence) were investigated to determine how goosegrass affects cotton.

Important findings As the density of goosegrass increased, its plant height gradually decreased. Compared to 0.125 plants·m-1 goosegrass, the plant height of goosegrass at densities of 3 plants·m-1(2011) and 0.25 plants·m-1 (2012) was significantly decreased. On average over three years, goosegrass biomass per unit area increased from 715 kg·hm-2 (0.125 plants·m-1) to 4 148 kg·hm-2 (4 plants·m-1). This indicates that intraspecific competition among goosegrass becomes more pronounced at higher densities. In 2012, the number of tillers and biomass per plant of goosegrass gradually increased with increasing weedy duration, and the height of goosegrass exceeded that of cotton during the first 12 weeks after crop emergence. With the increasing weed densities, the plant height and stem diameter of cotton decreased, while the number of fruit branches and bolls per plant were significantly reduced. The single boll mass was also reduced at higher densities of goosegrass, however, weed density did not significantly change the lint percentage. In 2012, the plant height of cotton significantly decreased at densities of over 2 plants·m-1. The cotton stem diameter was remarkably reduced at densities of 3 plants·m-1 or more in 2011 and 4 plants·m-1 in 2012, respectively. Goosegrass even at the density of 1 plants·m-1 reduced the fruit branch numbers, the boll number per plant and single boll mass of cotton by 8.7% to 11.6%, 18.6% to 35.2% and 0.1% to 4.6%, respectively. The seed cotton yields were significantly reduced at densities of 0.125 plants·m-1 (2010 and 2012) and 0.25 plants·m-1 (2011), with reductions ranging from 10% to 18%. The boll number per plant of cotton and seed cotton yield loss rate followed a hyperbolic model in response to goosgrass density. It is predicted that goosegrass at a density between 2.3 to 3.7 plants·m-1 would result in a 50% reduction in the number of bolls per plant, while densities of 0.05 to 0.09 plants·m-1 would lead to a 5% reduction in seed cotton yield. The increased competition duration of goosegrass resulted in a gradual decline in the height and stem diameter of cotton plants. The increased competition duration also significantly reduced the number of fruit branches and bolls per plant. A Logistic relationship exists between the seed cotton yields and the competition duration of goosegrass. Conversely, with an increasing weed-free duration, cotton plants exhibited greater height and stem diameter, along with a notable rise in the number of fruit branches, bolls per plant, and seed cotton yield. The increase in seed cotton yield with prolonged weed-free duration followed a Gompertz model. The critical period for controlling goosegrass at a density of 2.5 plants·m-1 was between 35 to 83 days after cotton planting, based on a 5% yield-loss threshold.
