| Abstract: | Different irrigation schemes have different effects on water consumption in rice production. However, few studies have been conducted on the water consumption processes between dry direct seeding rice and transplanting rice under different irrigation schemes. Water consumption process, water use efficiency and correlation effect of water consumption on yield under different planting models in rice production were investigated in northeast China in 2018. Seven treatments were implemented: drip irrigation dry direct seeding rice (DDSR), wet irrigation dry direct seeding rice (WDSR), flooded irrigation dry direct seeding rice (FDSR), transplanting flooded rice (TFR), controlled irrigation transplanting rice (CTR), intermittent irrigation transplanting rice (ITR) and wet irrigation transplanting rice (WTR). Among them, TFR was the control. The results showed that the peaks of the water consumption amount, intensity and its modulus coefficient of the seven treatments all appeared in the middle tillering and the jointing booting stages. The total water consumption amount (ET) and average water consumption intensity of DDSR, WDSR, FDSR and WTR were lower than those of TFR, CTR and ITR. The maximum water use efficiency of yield (WUEy) occurred in DDSR with a value of 3.8 kg ? m-3. WUEy of DDSR, WDSR and FDSR were significantly higher than those of TFR, CTR and ITR. In the middle tillering and the heading and flowering stages, the water consumption amount of each treatment had a positive effect on yield formation, and the water consumption amount in the late tillering stage had a negative effect on yield formation. The relationship between ET and yield (Y) of dry direct seeding and transplanting planting models showed a quadratic function curve. ET of transplanting planting model had a significant positive impact on Y, and ET of dry direct seeding planting model had no impact on Y. DDSR had the least total water consumption of 199.8 mm ? m-2, the lowest water consumption intensity of 2.0 mm ? d-1 and the greatest water use efficiency of 3.8 kg ? m-3, which suggested that DDSR had the most significant water saving effect. The combination of dry direct seeding planting model and drip irrigation scheme would be a good option for determining a water-saving rice planting model in northeast China. |
