    【Objective】 To investigate the response mechanism of soil nitrate nitrogen distribution and nitrogen use to density and irrigation quota under 76 cm row spacing machine-picked cotton planting mode in the hope of providing a theoretical basis for improving the cultivation mode. 【Methods】 Based on the field experiment, three planting densities (low-density M1, 135,000 plants/hm2; medium-density M2, 180,000 plants/hm2, high-density M3, 225,000 plants/hm2) were set to study the effects of irrigation quotas [severe deficit W1 (50% ETc), 3,150 m3/hm2; mild deficit W2 (75% ETc), 4,050 m3/hm2; and fully irrigated W3 (100% ETc), 4,980 m3/hm2] on soil inorganic nitrogen content, soil nitrate nitrogen distribution and nitrogen utilization in machine-picked cotton fields with constant row spacing of 76 cm.【Results】 Under the same irrigation quota, the density of soil had a significant effect on the content of ammonium nitrogen and the distribution uniformity of nitrate nitrogen. In other words, with the increase of soil densities, the content of ammonium nitrogen decreased, and the proportion of nitrate nitrogen in the upper soil increased first and then decreased, while the distribution uniformity of nitrate nitrogen was completely the opposite. Under the same density treatment, with the increase of irrigation quota, soil nitrate nitrogen content, distribution uniformity, the proportion of nitrate nitrogen in the upper soil, surface polymerization decreased significantly. In addition, density, irrigation quota and the interaction of the two factors had significant effects on N productivity and N partial productivity in cotton field. Namely, with the increase of density, nitrogen productivity decreased first and then increased, while nitrogen partial productivity decreased gradually. With the increase of irrigation quota, nitrogen production efficiency decreased gradually, while nitrogen partial productivity was on the contrary. The nitrogen production efficiency of low and heavy deficit irrigation treatments was the highest, and the nitrogen partial productivity of low, medium and full irrigation treatments was the highest, but there was no significant difference with the combination of high and heavy deficit irrigation treatments.【Conclusion】 The combination of planting density of 225,000 plants/hm2 and irrigation quota of 3,150 m3/hm2 is the most suitable planting mode for machine-picked cotton with constant row spacing of 76 cm.

    【Objective】 To clarify the differences of responses in flower and pod formation and yield to density between branching-type and single stem-type spring soybean varieties,【Methods】 4 planting densities of 420,000 plants/hm2 (D1), 320,000 plants/hm2 (D2), 270,000 plants/hm2 (D3), and 220,000 plants/hm2 (D4) were applied for Suinong 52, a branch-type variety, and Xindadou 27, a single-stem variety, in a field experiment in 2020.【Results】 The results showed that the number of flowers per plant of Suinong 52 and Xindadou 27 decreased by 42.04% and 18.81%, respectively, at D1 when compared with D4, among which the number of main stem and branches decreased by 9.78% and 80.59% for Suinong 52.The decreases of flowers number in Suinong 52 were mainly found in the middle and upper parts of the main stem as well as in the first and second basal branches, whereas Xindadou 27 mainly reduced the flowers number in the middle and lower parts of the plant.In addition, the flowering period of Xindadou 27 ended early.Compared with D4, the total number of flowers per unit area at D1 increased by 6.60% for Suinong 52 (among which, the number increased by 65.94% in the main stem and decreased by 64.30% in branches) and 55.89% for Xindadou 27.The pod cavity number of single plant at D1 decreased by 44.87% and 35.27% for Suinong 52 (decreased respectively by 17.90% and 74.82% in the main stem and branch) and Xindadou 27, respectively, when compared with D4.The total number of pod cavity per unit area of Suinong 52 increased by 6.47% at D3 compared with D4 (among which, the number of main stem increased by 14.11% and decreased by 2.0% for branches), and Xindadou 27 increased the number by 24.32% at D1 compared with D4.The yield of Suinong 52 was found highest at D2 (5,931.90 kg/hm2, among which branches accounted for 19.96%), while D1 was the highest one for Xindadou 27 (6,469.23 kg/hm2).【Conclusion】 Higher total number of flowers, pod cavity and seed per unit area are the reasons for increasing yield under higher planting density.However, increasing the density seriously inhibits the formation of branched flowers, pods and seeds for Suinong 52, which leads to the increase in the total number of flowers, pod cavity and seed and yield smaller than that of Xindadou 27.The high-yield density of Suinong 52 (270,000~320,000 plants/hm2) is lower than that of Xindadou 27 (320,000~420,000 plants/hm2).

    【Objective】 To screen the effective insecticides against Myzus persicae on Broccoli field.【Methods】 The toxicity bioassay and field efficacy tests were carried out by dipping method and spraying. 【Results】 The laboratory toxicity test results showed that the LC50 of flupyradifurone had the highest toxicity, which was 7.67 mg/L at 48 h. The LC50 of ambda-cyhalothrin showed the lowest toxicity, which was 1,011.03 mg/L at 48 h. The order of the toxicity of the eighteen insecticides from high to low was as follows: flupyradifurone﹥ sulfoxaflor ﹥ abamectin ﹥ciprofloxacin﹥ thiamethoxam ﹥chlorfenapyr﹥ veratrine﹥ imidacloprid ﹥emamectinbencoate ﹥ clothianidin ﹥acetamiprid ﹥cyantraniliprole﹥ matrine ﹥spirotetramat ﹥flonicamid﹥ tolfenpyrad ﹥spinetoram﹥ ambda-cyhalothrin. Five highly toxicity insecticides were selected for field trials on this basis. The results showed that treatment of five kinds of insecticides at different concentrations had a higher control effect on Myzus persicae. The field control efficacies of five kinds of insecticides were 70.10% 90.11% after seven days of application; The field control efficacies of five kinds insecticides were 56.93% 82.55% after fourteen days of application. 【Conclusion】 Therefore, it was suggested sulfoxaflor and flupyradifurone should be used in the production to ensure the sensitivity of pests to insecticides so as to delay the resistance of pests.

    【Objective】 To study the effects of different nitrogen application methods on the nutrient carrying and nitrogen absorption and utilization of melon plants, to find more reasonable fertilization methods and concentrations, to explore the applicability of exponential fertilization to melons, and to reduce fertilizer waste and soil pollution in the hope of saving cost and increase efficiency of melon cultivation in facilities.【Methods】 Baishami melon was selectedas the research object and no fertilization treatment CK, exponential fertilization treatment (E2, E4, E6, E8, E10) and average fertilization treatment (C2, C4, C6, C8) were set for analyzing nutrient carrying capacity and nitrogen absorption and utilization.【Results】 The nutrient content and accumulation of each organ in the two fertilization methods showed the same trend. The nutrient concentration of each organ was E4 (4 g/plant) and the aboveground nutrient accumulation E6 (6 g/plant) had the best performance. The nutrient content of the whole plant was potassium>nitrogen>phosphorus, and each nutrient was the highest in the exponential fertilization treatment E4 (4 g/plant). The distribution of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium nutrients in the roots, stems, leaves and fruits of the melon plant was inclined to move to the leaves and fruits with the increase of nitrogen application rate. Under the treatment of exponential fertilization E6 (6 g/plant), the fruit nitrogen absorption could reach 107.88 kg/hm2, the NHI: 68.16%, the NRE: 21.43%, NAE: 9.65 kg/kg, and NPE: 46.29 kg/kg.【Conclusion】 Compared with average fertilization, exponential fertilization can more effectively promote the nutrient carrying capacity of N, P and K, and achieve higher N absorption and utilization efficiency with lower N application rate. Exponential fertilization E6 (6 g/plant) can significantly improve the performance of melon plants in terms of nutrient carrying capacity, which is suitable for actual production.

    【Objective】 This project aims to explore the morphological, physio-biochemical characteristics of male sterile lines of pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) in the hope of providing a theoretical reference for revealing the genetic mechanism of male sterility of hot pepper.【Methods】 The pepper nuclear male sterility line pby-1 and the maintainer line PBY-1 were used as test materials.The development of flower buds at 7 stages and the flower organs in the full blooming period were observed, and the viability of the pollen in the full blooming period was measured.The contents of superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), catalase (CAT) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in flower buds at the three stages of meiosis number, tetrad and mononuclear were analyzed.The contents of gibberelli cacid (GA3), acetic acid (IAA), zeatin riboside (ZR), jasmonic acid (JA) and abscisic acid (ABA) and the balance relationship between different endogenous hormones were compared.【Results】 Compared with the wild-type PBY-1, the sterile line only differed from its floral organ structure, the anthers were shriveled, and the pollen had no viability.In the three stages of flower bud development of hot pepper, there were differences in protective enzyme activity and endogenous hormone content between the sterile line and the maintainer line.Among them, the SOD activity of the sterile line was always significantly lower than that of the maintainer line, while the CAT activity was always significantly higher than that of the maintainer line, POD activity was significantly lower than that of the maintainer line during the meiotic and tetrad period, and the MDA content was significantly higher than that of the maintainer line only in the mononuclear period.In the three periods, there were differences in protective enzyme activity and endogenous hormone content between the sterile line and the maintainer line in the development of hot pepper.Among them, the SOD activity of the sterile line was always significantly lower than that of the maintainer line, while the CAT activity was significantly higher than that of the maintainer line.The POD activity was significantly lower than that of the maintainer line during the meiotic and tetrad period, and the MDA content was only significantly higher than maintainer in the mononuclear period.Content GA3 and IAA in tetrad and mononuclear period in sterile line were higher than that of the maintainer, ZR content was always higher than that of the maintainer, JA content in meiosis stage was significantly lower than that of the maintainer, IAA content in tetrad period was significantly higher in the maintainer line.The change trends of IAA/ABA, IAA/GA3, IAA/JA, IAA/ZR, ABA/GA3, ABA/ZR between sterile line and the maintainer line were inconsistent.The ratio content of IAA/ABA was higher than those of other endogenous hormones.【Conclusion】 Therefore, it is speculated that the changes of the protective enzyme activity, the abnormalcontent of endogenous hormone and the change in the hormone ratio in sterile line may affect anther endogenous substances and pollen vitality in the three stages of meiosis, tetrad, and mononucleus, resulting in the development of pollen in the anthers of the male sterile line in croissant pepper is hindered and the cause of abortion is formed.

    【Objective】 To explore the feasibility of lavender and mint stalks with vegetable seedling substrates as the testing materials.【Methods】 The crushing and fermentation experiments were carried out on two kinds of spice plant waste stalks and the two plant stalks after fermentation were compounded separately with tomato as a test crop to carry out a seedling experiment. 【Results】 The fermentation of the two kinds of stalk at a high temperature above 45℃ lasted for more than 36 days, which showed that the two kinds of stalk were rich in easily degradable organic matter. After fermentation, the content of organic matter and nutrients was high, reaching 709.8 and 688.4 g/kg, and the total content of total nitrogen, total phosphorus, and total potassium reached 3.60% and 5.33%. The contents of available phosphorus increased by 15.57% and 19.72%, respectively, the contents of available potassium increased by 55.10% and 123.50% respectively. The physical and chemical properties of the two stalk substrates after being mixed with perlite and vermiculite were within the range of suitable soilless culture substrates. Compared to the peat substrate after the compound, there was no significant difference in the emergence rate, growth indicators and seedling quality of the two kinds of stalk substrates after the compounding. Of the two stalk substrates, the mint stalk substrate performed better in tomato seedling cultivation. 【Conclusion】 The two kinds of spice plant stalks can be used in production as organic raw materials for vegetable seedling substrates.

    【Objective】 Low soil available phosphorus content is one of the main factors restricting crop growth. This project aims to clarify the effect of phosphorus level on alfalfa root morphology and plant growth in the hope of providing a theoretical basis for the study of alfalfa tolerant mechanisms. 【Methods】 In this experiment, under hydroponic conditions, six kinds of phosphorus were analyzed, which were 0 umol/L (P1), 50 umol/L (P2), 100 umol/L (P3), 250 umol/L (P4), 500 umol/L (P5), 1000 umol/L (P6) levels affecting the root characteristics, plant growth and nutrient accumulation of Xinmu 1 alfalfa at the seedling stage.【Results】 With the increase of phosphorus level, the root-to-shoot ratio decreased significantly (P<0.05), and the biomass first increased and then decreased. Except for the P4 and P5 treatments, there was no significant difference in plant height (P<0.05), and there was no significant difference among other treatments (P<0.05). The plant height was the highest under P4 treatment, which was 9.37 cm; the total root length, root surface area and root-to-shoot ratio reached the maximum under P2 phosphorus supply level, which were 281.75 cm, 20.78 cm2, and 1.13; 6 species, under the phosphorus level, the accumulation of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in the ground were greater than the accumulation in the ground, and comprehensive comparison showed that the P5 treatment was more conducive to alfalfa growth. 【Conclusion】 Low phosphorus concentration can promote the growth of alfalfa roots, while excessively high phosphorus concentration inhibits its growth, reduces plant height, total root length, root surface area and root-to-shoot ratio.

    【Objective】 In this paper, the structural equation model is used to clarify the response mechanism of cotton farmers ' integration into green production behavior in the main cotton producing areas of Xinjiang. 【Methods】 Taking 296 cotton farmers as the research object, this paper combs the research progress of cotton green production and management through literature analysis, and conducts field research on Shaya County, Bachu County, Yuli County in southern Xinjiang and Changji, Manas County, Shawan County in northern Xinjiang. Based on the theory of planned behavior, the structural equation model of the response path of cotton farmers ' green production and management behavior is constructed. 【Results】 The overall Cronbach 's coefficient of the questionnaire was 0.903, the maximum value was 0.841, the minimum value was 0.740, and the reliability of the results was high. The p-value was < 0.001. The reliability values of behavioral attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, behavioral intention and behavioral response were 0.944,0.741,0.796,0.847 and 0.793, respectively. The convergent validity was 0.653,0.488,0.566,0.652 and 0.563, respectively. The convergent validity greater than 0.5 was an idealized state. The maximum value was 0.653 for behavioral attitude and the minimum value was 0.488 for subjective norm. The discriminant validity was 0.808, 0.699, 0.752, 0.807 and 0.750, respectively. 【Conclusion】 The explanatory degree of subjective norm, behavioral attitude and perceived behavioral control to the willingness of cotton farmers ' green production and operation was 0.44, 0.40 and 0.24, respectively. The explanatory degree of the willingness of cotton farmers ' green production and operation to their green production and operation behavior was 0.63.

    【Objective】 To study the spatio-temporal pattern change of cotton production in Xinjiang, analyze the characteristics of spatio-temporal change of cotton production and the important causes of its influencing factors. 【Methods】 Based on the panel data of cotton production in Xinjiang from 1991 to 2020, this paper selected cotton regions in Xinjiang as the research object, took Xinjiang regions and major cotton producing counties and cities as the basic research unit, combined time series and space, comprehensively used statistical tools to analyze the cotton planting area, total output and unit output, and analyzed the space-time and regional characteristics of cotton production in Xinjiang, as well as the impact of various factors on cotton production in Xinjiang. 【Results】 The results showed that: (1) The annual changes of cotton planting area and total yield in Xinjiang since 1990 were similar, showing two stages: the period of increasing in fluctuation (1993-2010) and the period of leaping growth (2010-2020). During this period, the cotton areas in northern and southern Xinjiang continued to increase while the cotton areas in eastern Xinjiang decreased, showing a trend of "shrinking in the east, expanding in the south, and increasing in the north" in space. (2) In recent 30 years, the unit cotton yield in Xinjiang has increased significantly, from 0.81 × 103 kg/hm2 increased to 1.85 × 103 kg/hm2, an increase of nearly 1.28 times over the same period, with an average annual increase of 34.66 kg/hm2, showing a rapid growth rate, which is the main contributing factor to promote the sustainable growth of cotton output. (3) The change of total cotton output in Xinjiang is generally dominated by the contribution of area, followed by the unit area, and the interaction is the lowest. The dominant production area of cotton in Xinjiang is South Xinjiang. 【Conclusion】 Over the past 30 years, the cotton planting area in Xinjiang has continued to increase, the production concentration has continued to increase, the dominant production areas have tended to stabilize, and the unit yield has gradually increased; The cotton production layout shows that the cotton production center has shifted from Kashgar to Aksu.
