چکیده

این تحقیق با هدف ارزیابی اثر انواع شخم، مدیریت بقایای ذرت و سطوح کود نیتروژن بر میزان انتشار گاز دی اکسید کربن جهت کاهش اثرات منفی تغییرات اقلیم انجام شد. بدین منظور، یک آزمایش دو ساله (1390 و 1391) در مزرعه تحقیقاتی دانشکده کشاورزی مشهد به‏صورت اسپلیت پلات نواری بر پایه طرح بلوک‏های کامل تصادفی در 3 تکرار اجرا شد. فاکتورهای اصلی شامل انواع شخم (1- شخم رایج و 2- شخم حداقل) و مدیریت بقایای ذرت (1- حفظ بقایای گیاهی محصول سال قبل و 2- عدم وجود بقایای گیاهی) که عمود بر هم اجرا شدند و فاکتور فرعی شامل سطوح مختلف کود اوره (صفر، 150، 300 و 450 کیلوگرم در هکتار) که در داخل شخم اسپلیت گردید، بودند. نتایج نشان داد که میزان انتشار دی‏اکسید کربن برای سال 1390 و 1391 در شخم رایج حدود 15 و 10 درصد بیشتر از شخم حداقل بود. حفظ بقایا در سطح خاک منجر به افزایش معنی‌دار انتشار دی‏اکسید کربن نسبت به شرایط عدم وجود بقایای گیاهی در هر دو سال آزمایش شد. به‏طوری‏که، میزان انتشار در شرایط وجود بقایای گیاهی در سال اول و دوم به ترتیب حدود 36/4 و 37/5 برابر انتشار در عدم حضور بقایای گیاهی بود. با افزایش سطوح کود نیتروژن میزان انتشار گاز دی‏اکسید کربن افزایش یافت. نتایج نشان داد که میزان انتشار در سال دوم تحت تأثیر کلیه اثرات ساده و متقابل تیمارهای مورد بررسی بیشتر از سال اول آزمایش بود. در بررسی انتشار روزانه دی‏اکسید کربن، مشاهده شد که میزان انتشار در هر دو سال آزمایش بیشتر تحت تأثیر بقایای گیاهی قرار گرفت تا نوع شخم و سطوح کود اوره. میزان این صفت تحت تأثیر شخم رایج، وجود بقایای ذرت و سطوح بالای مصرف اوره بالاتر از شخم حداقل، عدم حضور بقایا و سطوح پایین کودی بود. نتایج رگرسیون خطی بین درجه حرارت هوا و میانگین انتشار روزانه دی‏اکسید کربن نشان داد که همبستگی مثبت بین درجه حرارت هوا و انتشار دی‏اکسید کربن وجود داشت.

چکیده [English]

Introduction: The latest report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) states that future emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) will continue to increase and cause climatic change (16). These conditions are also true for Iran. The three greenhouse gases associated with agriculture are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O). The three GHGs associated with agriculture CO2, CH4, and N2O differ in their effectiveness in trapping heat and in their turnover rates in the atmosphere. This environmental change will have serious impacts on different growth and development processes of crops. Increasing temperature could affect physiological processes such as photosynthesis, respiration and partitioning of photoassimilates. Farmers are not able to change or manage the climatic conditions, but some factors such as soil, water, seed and agricultural practices can be managed to reduce the adverse impacts of climate change (32). Mitigation and adaptation are two known ways for reducing the negative impacts of climate change. Mitigation strategies are associated with decreasing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through management practices such as reducing chemical fertilizer application, mechanization, increasing carbon storage in agroecosystems, planting biofuel crops and moving towards organic farming (42), etc.
Material and Methods: This study was carried out at the experimental field of the Ferdowsi University of Mashhad in 2011 and was repeated in 2012. The Research Station (36°16´N, 59°36´E) is located at about 985 m a.s.l. Average temperature and precipitation rate of the research station in two years are shown in Figure. 1. The three-factor experiment was set up in a strip-split-plot arranged in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The experimental treatments were tillage systems (conventional and reduced tillage) and residual management (remaining and leaving of maize residual) assigned to main plots and different levels of N fertilizer (0, 150, 300 and 450 kg urea ha-1) was randomized as a subplot in tillage treatment. The seedbed preparation was made based on common practices at the location. Plot size under the trial was 4 m × 3 m so as to get 70 cm inter row spacing. Maize seeds (single-cross 704 cultivar) were hand sown in May for two years. The ideal density of the crops was considered as spacing 20 cm inter plant. As soon as the seeds were sown, irrigation continued every 10 days. No herbicides or chemical fertilizers were applied during the course of the trials and weeding was done manually when necessary. Measurement of CO2 emissions was performed by the closed chamber method. For this purpose, PVC plastic rings (20 cm in diameter and 30 cm height) were scattered on each of the plots. The chambers were placed in soil for two hours and the gathered air was collected by 10 ml vacuum syringe. Then, the samples were transferred to the laboratory and CO2 was measured using GC-mass.
Results and Discussion: The results showed that CO2 emissions for conventional tillage was about 15 and 10% higher than the reduced tillage in 2011 and 2012, respectively. The CO2 emissions can be taken as indicators of soil tillage effects on the soil ecosystem, because CO2 emissions are closely connected to the microbial turnover and the physical accessibility of organic matter to microbes. These parameters were more available in the conventional tillage than the reduced tillage. CO2 emissions were strongly higher in the remaining residual condition rather than leaving condition in two years. CO2 emissions in the remaining residual condition was about 4.36 and 5.37 times higher than that of the leaving residual condition in 2011 and 2012, respectively. The microbial respiration and humidity of soil in the remaining residual condition is higher than that of the leaving residual condition. CO2 emission was elevated with increasing the rate of N fertilizer. The N fertilizer can increase the microbial activity of the soil. Cover cropping and N fertilization can increase CO2 emissions in full and reduced tilled soils by increasing the amount of crop residue returned to the soil. The results showed that CO2 emissions in 2011 were higher than 2012 in all treatments. The residual treatment had more effect on daily CO2 emission in comparison with tillage and N fertilizer treatments in both years. The trait was higher under conventional tillage, residue remaining and higher N fertilizer levels compared to reduced tillage, residue leaving and lower N fertilizer application. Linear regression for air temperature and mean CO2 emission illustrated that there was a positive correlation between air temperature and CO2 emission.
Conclusion: In essence, the results showed that CO2 emissions for conventional tillage were higher than that of reduced tillage in two years. Remaining residual condition had strongly higher CO2 emission rather than leaving condition. CO2 emission was elevated with increasing the rate of N fertilizer.
