    The effect of hairy vetch on weed emergence in early spring was investigated by analyzing cyanamide, a major allelochemical in hairy vetch, soil microbe structure, and soil nitrogen dynamics during winter. Although cyanamide in the hairy vetch during winter decreased below the detection range by February, ammonia nitrogen in soil increased rapidly after February. It suggested that the increase in ammonia nitrogen was not due to the nitrification-inhibiting effect of cyanamide-derived dicyandiamide formation but due to low temperatures. Germination tests of weeds treated with ammoniacal nitrogen concentration in early spring showed a delay in the average germination days at low temperatures. These results show that the weed suppression effect of hairy vetch in early spring was due to ammonia damage.

    Although the availability of soil nutrients on combination of no-till and hairy vetch cultivation was increased, the improvement of the working efficiency on no-till seeding in early winter was not detected. It was shown that the growth and the yield of wheat were superior in addition of hairy vetch residue in pots tests. After snow melt , however, the number of wheat seedlings seeded in early winter was less than that of spring seeded wheat. The ratio of normal seedlings was decreases under the snow in the case of hairy vetch residues incorporation. The results of this study were exhibited less advantage to the combination of hairy vetch cultivation and no-till sowing of spring wheat in early winter. We are examining for the effects of autumn plowing.

    Continuous application of cover crops increased soil carbon and activated important enzymes in soil. GHG (Greenhouse gas) was released when cover crops were incorporated, however it was inhibited by no-till cultivation. Fungi increased and water-stable aggregate was formed in the soil with application of gramineous cover crops. Mycorrhizal fungi were proliferated after decomposition of hairy vetch, one of legume cover crops, and supported phosphorus uptake into plant. Much amounts of N released by decomposition of legume cover crops were used for subsequent crops. Cover crops are important tool of organic agriculture with reduction of GHG.

    マメ科カバークロップによる土壌環境改善、雑草防除効果等は多く報告されているが、冷涼・積雪により栽培期間の短い北海道では、その利用法が限定されていた。本研究では、低温環境での初期生育の優れたマメ科草本であるヘアリーベッチを晩夏播きし、積雪前に茎葉をある程度まで繁茂させ、積雪下で死亡させた後、その冬枯れした残渣を有機質肥料として利用する栽培技術を検討するものである。

  • Soil biology and nutrition recycling in sustainable production system with cover crops

    1.Upland field
    Recycling of nitrogen was examined in No-tilled filed and tiled field (plow and rotary) with cover crops, rye and hairy vetch (HV). HV absorbed most amount of nitrogen(N) from the soil and its N was transferred to the subsequently produced land rice. Microorganism increased in the soil with cover crops, especially in near ground surface in no-tilled soil. Number of the large soil animal increased in no-tilled soil. It was supposed that New soil ecosystem that N recycling would be promoted was established in no-tilled field with cover crops.
    2.Paddy field
    In the paddy field mulched or incorporated 15N-labeled cover crops, the absorbed efficiency of N mineralized from cover crops and rice growth were larger in incorporation than mulch treatment. Legume cover crops were decomposed in the paddy earlier than non-legumes. White clover, oats and mustard are promising cover crop for rice production in south-west region in Japan and decomposing time can be controlled by irrigation technique.
    3.Greenhouse
    Higher concentration of Nitrate-N was maintained near soil surface in the row covered with HV residue in greenhouse. Current yield was obtained in HV mulch even if N fertilizer reduced to half amount of conventional amount. About 17% of N mineralized from HV residue was absorbed into tomato plant and the absorbed efficiency of N mineralized from HV was high in reduced N application.
    4.Estimation of the ratio of grass and legume in mix-cultivation
    Multi-wavelength analysis of reflex light on the grass-legume mixed canopies using a hyper spectrum camera was useful to Estimation of the ratio of grass and legume.

    The compst was made from bio-product mainly garbage by composting machine. The effects of compost application on crop growth and yield were investigated in spring wheat and adzuki bean. In 1997, the composts were applied in two different times (2 wks before seeding and on the day of seeding) and four different amounts(0,2,4, and 8kg/m_2). In comparison with the conventional fertilizer application, the yields of wheat were about the same as that of applied on the day of seeding and about 14% increase in 2 wks before seeding. The effects of the amount of compost was rather small. On the other...

    Target plants of our project are landrace and wild relatives of rice, wheat, barley and soybean distributed in China. Objectives of the field trip were firstly observation of geographical distribution and ecological condition of their habitats, and secondly, if possible, collection of their seeds for genetic characterization.
    1) Rice group : With a kind cooperation of Guangxi Academy of Agricultural Sciences, we could visit 18 sites inhabited by wild progenitor of cultivated rice (Oryza rufipogon) in Guangxi Province. This wild rice is known to be differentiated into perennial and annual ecotypes in tropical Asia, but all populations we observed during our trip were perennial type. They seemed to have unique characteristics differing from perennials grown in tropical areas. In some populations, gene flow from adjacent rice fields was observed. More serious problem is destruction of the natural habitats of wild rice due to urbanization or environmental development.
    2) Wheat-Barley group : In Tibet and Si-Chuan, farmers' fields of wheat and barley were observed and seed sampling was done with the cooperation of scientists of Si Chuan Agricultural University. During two trips in 1995 and 1996, more than 600 samples each of wheat and barley were obtained. "Irregulare" type of barley which has been reported only in Ethiopia was firstly found in Tibet.
    3) Soybean group : Farmers' fields of landraces were visited in mountain tribe villages in Gui-Zhou Province and Xi-Shuang Bian Na, Yunnan Province, and diverse types were observed. Distribution of wild soybean (Glysine soja) was surveyed in Northeast and South (Quangxi) China, and along Yellow River. It was confirmed wild soybean is not distributed in South China.
    Introduction of seed samples of important crops from China is quite restricted officially. For wheat and barley, Chinese counterpart scientists could bring the collected smaples with them for cooperative study in Japan. Materials are now grown in experimental field in Japan, and preliminary survey of characters is going on. For wild rice, one of the Chinese team-members was able to work in Nat. Inst. Genet., and Chinese materials are now under study. For soybean, DNA was extracted and mitochondrial genome is studied in a laboratory of Chinese University by scientists from both countries.
