Abstract:

To explore the planting patterns of mechanical harvesting sesame and achieve goals of high yield,stable yield and deep combination of agricultural machinery and agronomy,the split plot design with two factors was carried out to investigate the effects of different planting pattern and density on the photosynthetic characteristics,biomass,yield and mechanical harvesting characteristics of Yuzhi ND837,in order to provide theoretical foundation and technical guidance for the full mechanization production of sesame.The planting pattern included wide-and narrow-row spacing planting(Z1,wide-row:60 cm,narrow-row:20 cm),banding planting of 4 rows(Z2,line spacing:30 cm,banding spacing:60 cm),banding planting of 8 rows(Z3,line spacing:30 cm,banding spacing:60 cm)and equidistant row planting(Z4,line spacing:30 cm)as primary area.The planting density included 180(M1),225(M2),270(M3)and 315 thousand plants/ha(M4)as vice-area.The results showed that planting pattern and planting density both had significant effects on the photosynthetic characteristics,substance accumulation,yield and mechanical harvesting characteristics of sesame.The net photosynthetic rate(Pn),SPAD value and biomass per plant descended with the order of M1>M2>M3>M4,while the biomass of population increased at first and then descended with the planting density increasing under the same planting pattern.Under different planting patterns,the Pn,SPAD value,biomass per plant and biomass of population all showed Z1>Z2>Z3>Z4.Under the comprehensive effects of planting pattern and density,the Pn and SPAD value of Z1M1 were the highest,and the biomass per plant was also the highest in Z1M1(59.76 g/plant),but the biomass of population and yield were the highest in Z1M3(13 032.97,1 719.87 kg/ha,respectively).The uniformity of plants tended to be the same,the diameter of stem and the ability of capsule formation per plant decreased,but the lodging percentage at maturity also gradually decreased with the increase of planting density(M1>M2>M3>M4).The lodging percentage showed Z1>Z2>Z3>Z4 among different planting patterns.Under the comprehensive influence of planting pattern and density,the lodging percentage of Z3M1(17.51%)was the highest and Z4M4(7.97%)was the lowest.Under the conditions of the experiment,Z1M3 has the biggest yield,and the agronomic traits and mechanical harvesting characteristics at maturity are also better.
