其他摘要 | Intercropping system is one of the most effective practices to preserve and enchance the
sustainability of grain yield in worldwide. There are many precious studies on intercropping
systems, which have improved grain yield greatly, but those practices would do harm to the
sustainable utilization of water resources, which have affected the the stabilization of
agricultural production system. Based on the problem discussed above, we cooperated
intercropping models into furrow irrigation and proposed a new plant technique called ridge
and furrow irrigated intercropping(RFII) system. Field experiments (using maize and soybean
as indicator crops) were conducted in the experimental station of Institute of Water-saving
Agriculture in Arid Areas of China(IWSA), Northwest A & F University
(108°04 E,34°20 N) during the spring planted crop growth duration (from April to ˊ ˊ
Suptember, 2010) and summer planted crop growth duration (from July to November, 2010).
In order to investigate the effects of RFII system, the experiment comprised soil water
dynamics, crop water consumption, eco-physiological characteristics and the yield and water
use efficiency under two experimental factors, which are irrigation quato and plant model,
respectively. The irrigation quato was set three levels which are 405mm (W1), 270mm(W2)
and 135mm(W3) in spring planted crop growth duration and 180mm (W1), 90mm(W2) and 0
(W3) in summer planted crop growth duration, respectively. The plant models were
conventional flat practice including sole maize(SM), sole soybean(SS) and traditional maize
and soybean intercropping system (TI), and ridge and furrow planting system including
RF105, RF90, RF75 and RF60 (furrow width was all 60cm and ridge width was 105cm, 90cm,
75cm and 60cm respectively). The main results showed as follows:
1)RFII system decreased soil water content compared with that of conventional practice
(TI, SM and SS) in 0~40cm soil layer before the maize jointing stage/soybean flower bud
differentiation stage. In maize flowering stage/soybean podding and blossom stage, soil water
content has a larger amplitude of decrease in RFII system compared with that in conventional
flat practice in spring planted crop growth duration. RFII system was helpful to soil water reservation in summer planted crop growth duration.
2)Different soil surface management and cultivation significantly affected the soil moisture
uniformity between soil moisture of different soil layers. Soil moisture uniformity in RFII
system increased with the decrease of irrigation quato. Soil moisture uniformity in RF75 was
the highest at the same irrigation level, which was helpful for the external water infiltration
and soil moisture conservation.
3)Irrigation quato has significant effects on total crop water consumption, plant models,
however, has little effect. With the decrease of irrigation quato, total water consumption
decreased and the ratios of precipitation and soil water consumption to total crop water
consumption increased significantly. RFII under W2 irrigation quato in spring planted crop
duration and W3 n summer planted crop duration could reduce yield loss ceused by water
shortage as far as possible by making full use of the soil moisture.The ratio of soil
evaporation to evaportraspiration(E/ET) decreased with the decrease of irrigation quota. E/ET
in RFII system decrease by 7.14%, 7.35 and 11.83% compared with that in TI under W1, W2
and W3 respectively. RFII system could decrease E/ET in the later of crop growth duration,
especially for RF90 and RF75, which could increase the valibility of field water consumption.
4)Mean leaf instantaneous WUE under W2 increased by 9.37% and 2.82%, compared
with that under W1 and W3, respectively. Leaf instantaneous WUE of RF75 under W1 , RF90
under W2 and RF75 under W3 was the largest in the corresponding irrigation amount, which
increased by 15.66%, 27.46% and 21.77% compared with that of TI1, respectively. Leaf
instantaneous WUE was also increased by intercropping system. Leaf instantaneous WUE of
RF90 and RF75 under W2 and W3 was obviously higher than that of TI. Under W1, leaf
instantaneous WUE in RFII system even declined.
5)Irrigation and plant models effected crop yield in interopping system significantly. In
spring planted and summer planted, mean crop yield in W2 and W3 was the largest,
respectively. Total yield in intercropping system decreased compared with that in SM and
increased significantly compared with that in SS. RF75 was the best treatment because of the
smallest yield decrease amplitude and the largest yield increase amplitude. Proper RFII
system could increase LER siggnificantly, especially for RF75, yield increasing effect was the
most significant. Correlation analysis between LER and ridge width showed that the yield
increasing effects was the largest when ridge width was 85.07cm, 75.87cm and 72.71cm in
spring planted crop growth duration and 95.63cm, 74.91cm and 71.5cm in summer planted
crop growth duration under W1, W2 and W3, respectively.
6) For spring planted crops, water use efficiency(WUE) in intercropping system was 9.95
kg·hm -2 ·mm -1 ,12.93 kg·hm -2 ·mm -1 and 14.34 kg·hm -2 ·mm -1 which decreased by 28.26%, 23.67% and 28.18% compared with that in SM and increased by 239.43%, 168.38% and
189.02% compared with that in SS, under W1, W2 and W3, respectively. For summer planted
crops, mean WUE in intercropping system decreased by 13.87%, 13.95% and -4.83%
compared with that in SM and increased by 234.73%, 189.36% and 185.15% compared with
that in SS, under W1, W2 and W3, respectively. RF75 was the best treatment because of the
smallest WUE decrease amplitude compared with that of SM and the largest WUE increase
amplitude compared with that of SS. Correlation analysis between LER and ridge width
showed that WUE was the highest when ridge width was 85.17cm, 77.16cm and 79.33cm
under W1, W2 and W3, respectively.
