Tests of the whole maize straw incorporation and the smashed ones were conducted on tideland of semi-arid area of Quzhou, Hebei Province.The tests are composed of seven different treatments.By one year’s period of test, it indicates that the process of decomposition of straw in the field is divided into three stages.In the early stage,the decomposition rate of the smashed straw is faster than that of the whole in the field.But the gap between the two rates is diminished after wheat turns green.The coefficient of huminification is not affected by the measures of adding use of nitrogenous fertilizer,spraying EM and so on.
Referring to corn breeding literature at home and abroad,the possible ways to improve the efficiency of maize breeding were discussed.The results showed that through the summary and reflection on breeding objectives and strategies,and improvement and optimization of breeding techniques and methods,as well as adjustment and simplification of experimental design and implementation,the breeding cost would be greatly reduced,and the breeding efficiency would be improved.
