摘要:

从我国“七五”计划旱农科研项目以来,农林保水剂作为抗旱保水产品受到关注。《农林保水剂》(NY 886)农业行业标准2004年颁布,2010、2016和2022年3次修改,但至今缺乏相关配套的田间试验效果评价体系,极大影响其推广应用。本文结合国内外30多年来的相关研发与应用文献分析,针对农林保水剂应用对土壤保水、作物用水、作物产量及其环境影响等效果进行综述研究,结果表明:(1)保水剂适用于改善土壤蓄水保水性能,对旱作地区作物抗旱保苗、节水增产和水分利用效率(WUE)提高有积极影响,尤其是在砂质土壤上。(2)提出农林保水剂效果评价指标,主要包括土壤贮水量、作物耗水量、作物产量及其WUE等指标,以适用于农林保水剂产品的田间试验效果评价。(3)根据农林保水剂对作物产量增减不一和增产与收益不统一等现象,提出农林保水剂应用需要制定相应的技术规程,明确作物适宜的保水剂类型及其施用方式和用量。(4)农林保水剂产品(以聚丙烯酰胺(PAM)和聚丙烯酸(PAA)型材料为主)的环境安全性主要涉及残留单体(丙烯酰胺(AM)和丙烯酸(AA))的生物毒性,以及材料的降解性等。市场上部分PAM和PAA相关产品分别存在残留AM和AA单体含量超标风险,超标率约占22%—100%。研究指出生物质类等天然聚合物类材料是农林保水剂发展方向。研究结果对农林保水剂效果评价标准的制定提供参考。建议相关部门对于PAM和PAA型农林保水剂产品加强残留单体检测及其残留单体的环境安全阈值的研究,并对产品的生物降解性指标与土壤生态环境的安全性的关联性进行探讨,以期为农林保水剂产品的环境安全性提供保障。

Abstract:

Since the performing of Seventh Five-Year (1986-1990) National Scientific and Technological Projects in China, when the national dryland farming research projects started, the super-absorbent polymers for agriculture and forestry (SAP-AF), as one of the technical products for drought-resistance and water-retention in agriculture and forestry, have been given concerned. A Chinese agricultural standard of Agro-forestry absorbent polymer (NY 886) was issued in 2004, and then revised three times in 2010, 2016 and 2022, respectively. However, so far there is still no relevant standard or regulation on experiment and assessment for the SAP-AF application efficacy, thus greatly affecting its promotion and application. Based on the literature review on the relevant research and application status of the SAP-AF for more than 30 years (1990-2023), this paper focused on the research about the effects of the SAP-AF application on soil water retention, crop water use, and crop yield, as well as environmental impact. The results showed as follows. (1) The SAP-AF products could enhance the ability to soil water storage and retention (especially for sandy soils), and be beneficial to protecting crop seedlings against drought, water-saving, and yield-increasing, as well as water use efficiency (WUE)-improving in dry-farming areas. (2) The assessment indicators (mainly including soil water storage, crop water consumption, crop yield, and WUE) were proposed to be applicable to evaluate the experiments for the SAP-AF product application efficacy. (3) According to the phenomenon that the SAP-AF application for crops in some regions could not always show a significant effect on yield increase, or sometimes had a negative return, it was proposed that SAP-AF application should formulate corresponding technical regulations, and determine the appropriate product types, and their application methods and dosage for crops. (4) The environmental safety of the SAP-AF products (mainly in the form of polyacrylamide or polyacrylic acid (PAM or PAA)-based materials) mainly involved the biodegradability of the PAM or PAA-based materials and the biological toxicity induced by the residual monomers (acrylamide or acrylic acid (AM or AA)) in the products. The residual AM or AA monomer content detected in the PAM or PAA-related products on the market were partly at the risk of exceeding the allowable limits (accounting for about 22%-100% of the total, referred to as the standard limits for some similar products). The review also indicated that some natural polymer materials such as such as starch grafted based polymer materials would be the replaycement of the SAP-AF in the future. The results of this study provided the reference for the formulation of evaluation standards or regulations for SAP-AF product application efficacy. It was suggested that relevant departments should strengthen the detection of residual monomer and its limit requirements for PAM or PAA-based SAP-AF products, and quantify the biodegradability index of products, in order to provide protection for the environmental safety of agricultural and forestry water protection agent products. It was suggested to strengthen the detection of residual AM or AA monomers, and research on the environmental safety threshold of residual monomers for such PAM or PAA-based SAP-AF products; but also need to further explore the relationship between the product biodegradability indicators in the soils and the safety of soil ecological environment, in order to ensure the product environmental safety.
