1、Effects of zeolite and cattle manure on growth, yield and yield components of soybean grown under water deficit stressReza Nozari, Hamid Reza Tohidi-Moghadam *, Masoud Mashhadi-Akbar-Boojar1Department of AgronomyVaramin-Pishva Branch, Islamic Azad University, Varamin, Iran*(e-mail : hamid_tohidi2008
2、)AbstractIn order to study the effects of cattle manure and zeolite on growth, yield and yield components of soybean grown under conditions of water deficit stress, an experiment was conducted in research field of Islamic Azad University, Varamin Branch during 2011 growing season. The experimental d
3、esign was carried out in a randomized complete block with a split factorial arrangement of treatments in three replications. Main factor was water stress (normal irrigation and irrigation withholding after 50% flowering) and sub factors were included cattle manure (0, 15 and 30 t/ha) and zeolite app
4、lication (with and without). The results showed that water stress significantly decreased plant growth and production. Conversely, cattle manure and zeolite application led to increase in growth and improved yield and yield components. Zeolite application dramatically increased pod number in main br
5、anches. The highest pod number in sub-branches was obtained from those plots which were treated with 30 t/ha cattle manure and zeolite grown under normal irrigation conditions. These results indicated that zeolite and cattle manure application (30 t/ha) increased seed yield when plants were irrigate
6、d completely. It is interesting to remark that zeolite application was more effective under stress conditions than normal irrigation condition. Biological yield increased on account of cattle manure and zeolite application. In addition, the highest oil yield was achieved when soybean plants were tre
7、ated with 30 t/ha cattle manure and zeolite under normal irrigation conditions. In sum cattle manure and zeolite application could improve soybean growth and seed production even under drought stress conditions.

Plant morphological and biochemical responses to drought stress vary with stress intensity. Drough
9、t stress significantly limits plant growth and crop productivity. In Iran, water is a scarce resource, due to the high rainfall variability. The water stress effects depend on deficit timing, duration and magnitude (Pandey et al., 2001). The identification of the critical irrigation timing and sched
10、uling based on a timely and accurate basis to the crop is the key to conserving water and improving the irrigation performance and sustainability of irrigated agriculture (Ngouajio et al., 2007). Igbadun (2006) showed that the crop yield response was very much dependent on the amount of water applie
11、d at different crop development stages than the overall seasonal water applied. This approach may save water with little or no negative impact on the final crop yield. In arid and semi-arid environments, both efficient use of available water and a higher safflower yield and quality are in demand (Lo
12、velli et al., 2007; Dordas and Sioulas, 2008; Koutroubas et al., 2008). A decrease in biological yield and pod dry matter have been observed in two canola cultivars, under water deficit conditions (Thomas, 2004). Porous ceramics, diatomaceous earth and zeolites are just a few of the more commonly us
13、ed inorganic soil amendments. Some characteristics of these products, that make them desirable for improving soils properties, are a large internal porosity, which results in water retention; a uniform particle size distribution, that allows them to be easily incorporated; and a high cation exchange
14、 capacity, which retains nutrients (Ok et al. 2003). The unique physical and chemical properties of natural zeolites, in combination with their abundance in sedimentary deposits and in rocks derived from volcanic parent materials, have made them useful for many industrial applications. These propert
15、ies have spurred their use in agronomic and horticultural applications (Dwairi1998). Zeolites are hydrated aluminosilicates, characterized by three-dimensional networks of SiO4 and AlO4 tetrahedral and linked by shared oxygen atoms. Clinoptilolite is not the most well-known zeolite, but it is one of
16、 the most useful. The chemical formula of clinoptilolite is (Na3K3) (Al6Si30O72).24H2O. Extensive deposits of clinoptilolite are found in the Western United States, Bulgaria, Hungary, Japan, Australia and Iran. Amendment of clinoptilolite zeolite to sandy soils has been reported to lower nitrogen co
17、ncentrations in leachate and to increase moisture and nutrients in the soil, due to increased soil surface area and cation exchange capacity (He, 2002). Agronomic operations, which involve heavy application of chemical fertilizers, may cause reduction of nutrients in soil and certain others would ge
18、nerally accumulate in excess resulting in nutrient imbalance which affects the soil productivity. Among the means available to achieve sustainability in agricultural production, organic manure like cattle manure plays an important and key role because it possesses many desirable soil properties and
19、exerts beneficial effect on the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of the soil. Cattle manure is a good source of nutrients for vegetation especially when supplemented with commercial nitrogen fertilizer. Cattle manure application improves physical and chemical properties of soil. In
20、addition, it increases micro organism activity and water retention capacity (Gupta et al., 2004). Crop yield is usually increased by manure application because of the increased nutrient availability and the improved soil structure (Matsi et al., 2003). Eghball and Power (1999) found that application
21、 of cattle manure resulted in maize yield similar to that from commercial fertilizer application. Water stress is still a serious agronomic problem and one of the most important factors contributing to crop yield loss. Plant morphological and biochemical responses to drought stress vary with stress
22、intensity. In arid and semi-arid regions like Iran, soils are generally characterized by poor soil structure, low water-holding capacity, lack of organic matter and nutrient deficiency. Thus, the application of zeolite substances and organic fertilizers may be effective on better establishment of pl
23、ant under water stress conditions. Therefore, this study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of both cattle manure and zeolite on soybean plant under water deficit stress.MATERIALS AND METHODSIn order to study the effects of different amount of organic fertilizer (cattle manure) and zeolite (with
24、 and without zeolite) on growth, yield and yield components of soybean grown under normal and limited irrigation, an experiment was conducted in research field of Islamic Azad University, Varamin Branch during 2011 growing season. Site of study was situated at 31°519 E and 20°359 N and 105
25、0 m above sea level. Before beginning of experiment, soil samples were taken in order to determine the physical and chemical properties. A composite soil sample was collected at a depth of 0-30 cm. It was air-dried, crushed and tested for physical and chemical properties. The research field had a cl
26、ay loam soil. Details of soil properties are shown in Table 1. After plow and disk, plots were prepared. The experimental design was laid out in a randomized complete block with a split factorial arrangement of treatments in three replications. Main factor was water stress (normal irrigation and irr
27、igation withholding after 50% flowering) and sub-factors included cattle manure (0, 15 and 30 t/ha) and zeolite application (with and without). The 16 m2 plots were prepared with 4 m length and consisted of five rows, 0.65 m apart. Among all main plots, 2 m alley was kept to eliminate all influence
28、of lateral water movement. Polyethylene pipeline was performed for control of irrigation as dropping irrigation. Cattle manure was applied before seed sowing so that manure was spread on the soil surface and then was mixed into the soil manually. Soybean seeds Glycine max (L.) Merr. cv. Williams wer
29、e purchased from Pars Abad Oil Seed Company and inoculated with Rhizobium japonicum and sown in certain experimental plots with 10 cm apart each other. Irrigation was performed immediately after seed sowing and after seedling establishment irrigation was done every week. At 5-leaf stage plants were
30、thinned to appropriate density. Weeds were controlled manually at 5-leaf stage, stem elongation and flowering stage. In order to stress induction, irrigation was stopped at 50% flowering stage in stressed plots till end of growing stage. At physiological maturity stage, crop was completely harvested
31、 and plant height, branch number, pod number in main branches, pod number in sub-branches, total pod number, 1000-seed weight, seed yield, biological yield, harvest index, oil and protein yield were measured. Oil and protein percentage were calculated using Soxhlet and Kjeldahl methods, respectively
32、. Oil and protein yield and also harvest index were obtained by following formulae, respectively : Oil yield = Oil percentage × Seed yield /100 Protein yield = protein percentage × Protein yield /100 HI = Economic yield (seed yield)/ biological yield × 100All data were analyzed from a
33、nalysis of variance (ANOVA) using the GLM procedure in SAS (SAS Instituteinc., 2002). The assumptions of variance analysis were tested by ensuring that the residuals were random, homogenous, with a normal distribution about a mean of zero. Duncan's multiple range test was used to measure statist
34、ical differences between treatment methods and controls.RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONAnalysis of variance showed that water stress had significant effect on all agronomic traits (Table 2). In addition, effect of cattle manure was significant on all traits except for harvest index (Table 2). Among all agron
35、omic traits, plant height and harvest index were not affected by zeolite application (Table 2). Interaction of experimental factors (water stress × cattle manure × zeolite) was significant except for biological yield and harvest index (Table 2). As can be seen from Table 3, water stress si
36、gnificantly decreased plant height. Although, cattle manure had not any effect on plant height, zeolite increased plant height under water stress conditions. The most branch number was observed from those plants which were treated with 30 t/ha cattle manure and zeolite application given under normal
37、 irrigation conditions (Table 3). By contrast, the lowest branch number was related to stress plants treated with 0 or 15 t/ha cattle manure without zeolite application (Table 3). The results showed that zeolite application dramatically increased pod number in main branches (Table 3). The lowest pod
38、 number in main branch was observed when soybean plants were just stressed treated neither by cattle manure nor by zeolite application (Table 3). Similarly, the highest pod number in sub-branches was obtained from those plots which were treated with 30 t/ha cattle manure and zeolite application give
39、n under normal irrigation conditions. Conversely, the lowest pod number in sub-branches was achieved in stressed plants without any further treatment (Table 3). In general, the highest and lowest pod number in plant was obtained when plants were treated with 30 t/ha cattle manure alongwith zeolite a
40、pplication given under normal irrigation and stressed plants treated without cattle manure application, respectively (Table 3). Our results indicated that zeolite application and cattle manure application (30 t/ha) significantly increased seed yield when plants were irrigated completely (Table 3). Z
41、eolite application was more effective under stress conditions than normal irrigation conditions (Table 3). According to obtained results the highest oil yield was achieved when soybean plants were treated with 30 t/ha cattle manure and zeolite application both under normal irrigation conditions and
42、drought stress conditions (Table 3).Protein yield significantly decreased due to water stress. Cattle manure had significant effect on protein yield especially under normal irrigation conditions. So, the highest protein yield belonged to treatments treated with 30 t/ha cattle manure and zeolite appl
43、ication both under normal irrigation conditions and drought stress conditions (Table 3). Interaction between water stress and cattle manure application was significant on biological yield (Fig. 1). Biological yield increased on account of cattle manure in drought stress condition (Fig. 1). The heavi
44、est biological yield was obtained when 30 t/ha cattle manure was applied under normal irrigation conditions, while the lightest biological yield was related to no cattle manure application treatment alongwith irrigation withholding at the end of growing season. In addition, biological yield was affe
45、cted by water stress and zeolite application (Fig. 2). Zeolite application increased biological yield both under normal irrigation conditions and soybean plants were under stressed conditions. Also the highest biological yield was obtained when 30 t/ha cattle manure was applied in both zeolite appli
46、cation and without zeolite application (Fig. 3). Also the results showed that the harvest index decreased due to water stress, however, it was not affected by cattle manure or zeolite (Fig. 4).The results of this research showed that the water stress decreased growth, yield and yield components of s
47、oybean. The decrease in yield and yield components in different safflower genotypes due to water deficiency was also reported by other researchers (Zaman and Das, 1991; Kar et al., 2007; Lovelli et al., 2007). Anyia and Herzog (2004) indicated that water deficit caused between 11 and more than 40% r
48、eduction of biomass across the genotypes of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) due to decline in leaf gas exchange and leaf area. Obtained result indicated that the seed filling stage was more sensitive in soybean growth stages. Nielsen and Nelson (1998) and Nuez et al. (2005) also identified the number
49、of pods per plant as the principal cause of yield losses of bean subjected to drought stress, followed by the number of seeds per pod and seed weight. This result corroborated the earlier findings of Castaeda et al. (2006).The diverse effects of water stress on physiological and metabolic responses
50、in plant growth were well documented (Kramer and Boyer, 1995). Application of integrated chemical fertilizer with biological fertilizer caused to produce highest yield compared with application of chemical and biological treatment alone (Rizwan et al., 2008). Aowad and Mohamed (2009) evaluated the e
51、ffects of manure and mineral fertilizer on sunflower characteristics and found that the highest values of stem diameter and plant height were produced due to combination of nitrogen fertilizer with farm yard manure. Ibeawuchi and Onweremalu (2007), in an experiment, showed that at first of all the h
52、ighest 1000-kernel weight was in integrated fertilizer treatments and the following was in chemical fertilizer. Majidian and Ghalavand (2006) showed that integrated chemical and biological fertilizer obtained highest kernel number per ear compared with sole application of them. It seems that zeolite
53、 increases water retention capacity and thus water stress intensity will be decreased. Xiubin and Zhanbin (2001) showed that zeolite improved water retention capacity and cation exchange capacity in arable soils. Leggo (2000) studied the response of wheat to poultry manure amended by zeolite and fou
54、nd out that crop faced a better growth rate when zeolite was applied in poultry manure, and reported that the increase of growth and yield was due to nitrogen availability by zeolite.CONCLUSIONIrrigation deficit reduced growth, biomass and yield in soybean. The flowering stage was the most sensitive
55、 to water deficit. Drought stress, during this period, caused a reduction in the number of grains per plant and in time to maturity. Consequently, reduced sink capacity and shorter growing period led to lower seed yield. Under water limited conditions, soil water extraction was a more important comp
56、onent in soybean yield. Efficient management of soil moisture was important for agricultural production in the light of scarce water resources. Soil conditioners contributed significantly to provide a reservoir of soil water to plants on demand in the upper layers of the soil where the root systems
57、normally develop. Zeolite apart from improving the soil physical properties, also served as buffers against temporary drought stress and reduced the risk of plant failure during establishment. This was achieved by means of reduction of evaporation through restricted movement of water from the sub-su
58、rface to the surface layer. At the same time, cattle manure application improved physical and chemical properties of soil. In addition, it increased micro- organism activity and water retention capacity. Also cattle manure could be substituted with inorganic fertilizer for the nitrogen and micronutr
59、ients supplementation and better growth of soybean. In conclusion, this study showed that application of zeolite and cattle manure, in soils exposed to drought stress, could maintain soil water content and improve plant growth and yield.REFERENCESAnyia, A.
