Corn yield and evapotranspiration under simulated drought conditions

Summary Measurements of corn yield and evapotranspiration (ET) were made under a wide variety of limited irrigations simulating drought conditions. Three locations were studied in two seasons. There was a strong linear relation between relative yield and ET (R² = 0.95 for dry matter yield and R² = 0.87 for grain yield) where variable irrigation was applied throughout the season as well as where irrigation was applied only at the early part of the season. Yield predictions using the model PLANTGRO (Hanks, 1974) were made from soil, crop, and climatic data. Agreement between prediction and measurements was better for relative dry matter yield (R² ranged from 0.91 to 0.99) than a relative grain yield (R² ranged from 0.93 to 0.97). The method for predicting grain yields could be improved but a relation involving seasonal estimates of relative transpiration gave good first-order predictions.Contribution from Utah State University Agricultural Experiment Station Journal Paper No 2506     

Production and water use in lettuces under variable water supply

The effects of a variable water supply on the water use, growth and yield of two crisphead and one romaine (i.e., Cos) lettuce cultivar were examined in a field experiment using a line source sprinkler system that produced a range of water regimes that occur in growers fields. Four locations at increasing distances from the main line were monitored through the season (i.e., from thinning to harvest, 28–63 days after planting (DAP)). These locations at the end of the season corresponded to: (1) rewatering to field capacity (FC); (2) watering with a volume 13% below that required in the field capacity treatment (0.87*FC); (3) 30% below FC (0.70*FC); and (4) 55% below FC (0.45*FC). A linear production function for dry matter accumulation and fresh weight vs. crop evapotranspiration (ET_c) was determined for lettuce during this period, giving a water use efficiency for dry matter of 1.86 g m^–2 mm^–1 and for fresh weight of 48 g m^–2 mm^–1 . For lettuce irrigated to field capacity, ET_c between thinning and harvest was 146 mm; maximum crop coefficients of 0.81–1.02 were obtained at maturity (55–63 DAP). For the three irrigation treatments receiving the largest water application, ET_c was higher in the Cos culivar than in the two crisphead lettuce cultivars which had similar ET_c. Plant fresh weight was more sensitive than dry weight to reduction in water supply. In the FC treatment, root length density and soil water extraction were greatest in the top 0–45 cm, and decreased rapidly below 45 cm depth. Soil water extraction by roots increased at lower depths when irrigation was reduced. Instantaneous rates of leaf photosynthesis and leaf water potential showed no response to the irrigation treatments in this study, despite differences in biomass production. Evaporation was determined to be the major component of ET_c for 45 of the 63 days of the growing season. The large loss of water by evaporation during mid-season and the apparent insensitivity of lettuce to the volume of irrigation during this period may provide an opportunity for reducing irrigation applications.     

Effect of irrigation and harvesting dates on the yield of spring-sown sugar-beet

Results are given from a 2-year trial (1979–80) on sugar-beet sown in the spring in the Sele River Plain (Southern Italy).Four watering regimes were compared in factorial combination with two harvesting dates: in addition to no irrigation, three different irrigation schedules were applied during the growing season, based on the net accumulated pan “A” evaporation, the crop coefficient and an irrigation cycle coefficient.In the 1st year, highest yields of roots and sucrose were obtained with the largest water depths (555 and 655 mm for the two irrigation dates) applying short irrigation cycles; in the 2nd year, with intermediate water depths (300 and 350 mm) and intermediate irrigation cycles. Irrigation increased mean weight and size of roots and decreased sucrose percentage. A 1-month delay in harvest increased mean weight, sizes and yield of roots and decreased the sucrose percent although the final sucrose yield was not affected.     

Response of sugarbeets to irrigation frequency and cutoff on a clay loam soil

Summary Sugarbeets (Beta vulgaris L.) on a Panoche clay loam soil were subjected to 3 different irrigation frequencies and 3 irrigation cutoff dates prior to harvest to determine the effects on evapotranspiration, growth, and sucrose yield. Lengthening the irrigation interval from 1 to 3 weeks reduced evapotranspiration without a significant decline in sucrose production. Increased irrigation cutoff from 3 to 7 weeks prior to harvest significantly increased sucrose percentage within the root and resulted in similar total sucrose yields. Lengthening the irrigation interval only slightly reduced both fresh vegetative biomass and leaf area index (significant differences occurred only at one plant sampling date). The combination of less frequent irrigation and an early cutoff date increased the amount of soil water extracted by sugarbeets. The water use of sugarbeets can be reduced without a significant decline in sucrose production through optimizing irrigation frequency to about 14 to 20 days on this soil and cutting off irrigations about 40 to 45 days before harvest, provided irrigations replenish soil water depletions.Contribution from USDA, Agricultural Research Service, Water Management Res.

膜下滴灌水氮耦合效应对玉米干物质与产量的影响

通过大田试验研究膜下滴灌水氮耦合效应对玉米干物质与产量的影响,设置3个水分水平,按土壤含水率占田间持水率百分比的上下限不同设低、中、高水:低水 W1(拔节前60%~80%,拔节后55%~80%)、中水W2(拔节前65%~85%,拔节后60%~85%)、高水W3(拔节前75%~95%,拔节后70%~95%).施氮梯度按224,270,330 kg/hm²设低、中、高氮3个施氮水平.寻求适宜于科尔沁左翼中旗的玉米膜下滴灌适宜水氮用量,为玉米膜下滴灌达到高产、高效目标提供理论依据.研究结果表明:生育期中等施氮水平270 kg/hm²与高灌溉水平组合下可获得较高的全株干物质总量,但收获指数低于中水中氮的组合,中水中氮耦合用量下可获得较高的收获指数,能较好地调节光合产物在籽粒与营养器官间的分配;在当地典型地域及气候条件下,玉米采用膜下滴灌种植方式,增加水和氮的投入均能增产,并对产量有报酬递减效应,单因素施用水平的变动引起产量的改变是水分作用大于施氮作用.     

水肥耦合对棉花产量和氮累积利用的影响

研究膜下滴灌施肥条件下,不同滴灌水量和滴灌施肥用量对棉花产量、氮素动态累积和氮素利用效率的影响。通过设置5个滴灌施肥水平和3个水分水平的完全组合处理以及一个不施肥对照处理,研究了水肥耦合对棉花干物质动态累积量、籽棉产量、氮动态累积量和氮素利用效率的影响。在收获后棉花地上部分器官质量从高到低依次为棉铃,茎秆和叶,而氮素主要集中在棉铃内部,其次是叶片,茎秆最少。灌溉水量显著增加了棉花叶片,茎秆和棉铃质量,从而增加了干物质量和籽棉产量,同时灌溉水量显著增加氮累积量和氮肥利用率。水肥对氮肥偏生产力,氮肥农学效率和氮肥生理利用率影响显著。灌溉水量降低至60%ETc会抑制棉花对氮素的吸收,使干物质量和籽棉产量下降,但可以显著提高氮肥利用率,氮肥偏生产力,氮肥农学效率。在本试验条件下,灌水量在380 mm,施肥量(N-P2O5-K2O)为(250-100-50)kg/hm2时,可以获得低于最高产量6%的籽棉产量,并节省15%的灌水量和16.7%施肥量。     

宁夏引黄灌区滴灌条件下春小麦干物质转移与灌浆特征

为优化春小麦滴灌灌溉制度，提高水分利用效率，对宁夏引黄灌区滴灌条件下灌水对春小麦千粒质量、干物质转移和灌浆特征的影响展开研究。在总灌水量一致的条件下，分别设置增大三叶期、分蘖期和拔节期灌水量(W1)、增大分蘖期、拔节期和抽穗期灌水量(W2)、增大拔节期、抽穗期和灌浆期灌水量(W3)、各生育期灌水量平均分配(W4)和对照(CK)5个水量分配处理，研究春小麦千粒质量、各营养器官干物质转移量及籽粒灌浆特性。W3籽粒千粒质量最大，花后37 d其千粒质量为53.96 g，较CK大2.64%。W2的干物质转移总量、同化物转移总量和干物质转移对籽粒的贡献率均为最大，分别为0.67 g/株、2.992 g/株和22.165%。不同水量分配下小麦籽粒灌浆速率满足Logistic模型，经过水量优化分配，W2最大灌浆速率出现时间提前0.366 d，虽然最大灌浆速率有所降低，但是通过增加快增期时间(增加0.15 d)和活跃灌浆期时间(增加2.35 d)，可以显著提高籽粒干物质积累量，收获时穗粒质量较CK提高32.1%，该处理籽粒产量也达到最大，较CK提高6.88%。因此可以通过优化灌水量分配，增加小麦千粒质量，提高各器官对籽粒的干物质转移量及灌浆速率，进而达到高产高效的目的。     

Logistic model application for prediction of maize yield under water and nitrogen management

Simulation of crop yield allows better planning and efficient management under different environmental inputs such as water and nitrogen application. However, most of the models are complicated and difficult to understand. Furthermore, input data are not readily available. The objectives of this investigation were to use logistic equation to quantify the influence of seasonal water and nitrogen application on maize biomass accumulation and grain yield and to develop empirical models for prediction of maize biomass and grain yield. Logistic equations were fitted to dray matter (DM) yield at different times in the growing season at different irrigation water and nitrogen levels. The parameters of the logistic equations were then fitted to irrigation water and nitrogen as empirical functions. Further, the harvest index (HI) was related to the applied water and nitrogen as another empirical model. The empirical logistic models were used to estimate the DM and grain yield based on data from another experiment in the same area. Results indicated that the empirical models predicted the DM yield during the growing season with an acceptable accuracy, but dry matter (DM) prediction at harvest was very good. The grain yield also was predicted with a very good accuracy. It is concluded that logistic equation along with the presented empirical models for prediction of constants in logistic equation and HI are appropriate for accurate prediction of DM and grain yield of maize at the study region.     

Impact of sustained deficit irrigation on spearmint (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Mentha spicata</Emphasis> L.) biomass production,oil yield,and oil quality

Crop response to deficit irrigation is an important consideration for establishing irrigation management strategies when water supplies are limited. This study evaluated the response of native spearmint to water deficits applied using overhead sprinklers in eastern Washington, US. Five levels of irrigation were applied ranging from full irrigation (100%) to 5% of weekly averaged full crop water needs. Soil water monitoring with soil water balance was used to estimate soil water deficits for irrigation scheduling and soil water use. Mint oil yields, oil components, dry matter production, and the water-use efficiency of the spearmint were assessed. There was significant reduction in fresh mint hay (harvested biomass) yield with increasing water deficit. However, spearmint oil yields remained generally uniform across irrigation treatments at the first cutting but decreased at the driest plots during the second harvest due to a loss of plant stand. The wet harvest index and water-use efficiency improved significantly for both harvests with increasing water deficit. Hay yield, oil yield, wet harvest index, and water-use efficiency are pooled across sides and replicate blocks to provide trends with changes in maximum evapotranspiration. The three major monoterpenes show changes suggesting less mature oil yields. The study demonstrates the feasibility of sustaining native spearmint yields under managed deficit irrigations for deficits not lower than 0.5 ETc.     

Corn crop response under managing different irrigation and salinity levels

Non-uniformity of water distribution under irrigation system creates both deficit and surplus irrigation areas. Water salinity can be hazard on crop production; however, there is little information on the interaction of irrigation and salinity conditions on corn (Zea Mays) growth and production. This study evaluated the effect of salinity and irrigation levels on growth and yield of corn grown in the arid area of Egypt. A field experiment was conducted using corn grown in northern Egypt at Quesina, Menofia in 2009 summer season to evaluate amount of water applied, salinity hazard and their interactions. Three salinity levels and five irrigation treatments were arranged in a randomized split-plot design with salinity treatments as main plots and irrigation rates within salinity treatments. Salinity treatments were to apply fresh water (0.89 dS m⁻¹), saline water (4.73 dS m⁻¹), or mixing fresh plus saline water (2.81 dS m⁻¹). Irrigation treatments were a ratio of crop evapotranspiration (ET) as: 0.6ET, 0.8ET, 1.0ET, 1.2ET, and 1.4ET. In well-watered conditions (1.0ET), seasonal water usable by corn was 453, 423, and 380 mm for 0.89EC, 2.81EC and 4.73EC over the 122-day growing season, respectively. Soil salt accumulation was significantly increased by either irrigation salinity increase or amount decrease. But, soil infiltration was significantly decreased by either salinity level or its interaction with irrigation amount. Leaf temperature, transpiration rate, and stomata resistance were significantly affected by both irrigation and salinity levels with interaction. Leaf area index, harvest index, and yield were the greatest when fresh and adequate irrigation was applied. Grain yield was significantly affected in a linear relationship (r² ≥ 0.95) by either irrigation or salinity conditions with no interaction. An optimal irrigation scheduling was statistically developed based on crop response for a given salinity level to extrapolate data from the small experiment (uniform condition) to big field (non-uniformity condition) under the experiment constraints.     

不同灌水处理对冬小麦生长及水分利用效率的影响

Interactive effects of soil salinity,fertility, and irrigation on field corn

Summary A line-source field experiment was conducted to study the interactive effects of four levels of soil salinity, five rates of applied nitrogen fertilizer and six levels of irrigation on the production of field corn (Zea mays L.). In general, increased levels of soil salinity and decreased irrigation reduced grain and stover (stems and other above-grand dry matter) yields. Increased quantities of irrigation, presumably through maintenance of high (less negative) total soil water potential, were effective in decreasing the effect of salinity, and as a result improved yield. The highest salinity level (9.6 mmho/cm) resulted in dry matter yield reductions of 41 and 93 percent of the maximum observed yield at the highest (479 mm) and lowest (210 mm) irrigation levels respectively, averaged over all fertility levels. Under the same conditions grain yield declined by 48 and 96 percent. Yield was not improved as a result of applying nitrogen. Main effects on yield of salinity (1% level), water (1% level) and nitrogen (5% level) were found. Interactive effects upon yield were demonstrated for salinity X nitrogen (1% level) and salinity X water (1% level) combinations. Nitrogen content of stover and grain rose with increased levels of soil salinity and nitrogen, and declined with increased irrigation. A salinity X nitrogen interaction effect was demonstrated for nitrogen content of the grain, and a salinity X water effect demonstrated for stover. Multiple regression equations for stover and grain yields as functions of salinity, fertility and irrigation were developed (R ² = 0.88 and 0.85 respectively).Utah Agricultural Experiment Station Journal Paper No. 2331Present address of the senior author: FAO, Addis Abeba, Ethiopia     

Effect of small irrigation amounts on the yield of wheat

Yields of dryland crops are governed by the moisture in the soil profile at seeding and by rainfall during the growing season. Occasionally limited amounts of water may also be available for irrigation. Field experiments were conducted over a period of 4 years on loamy sand and 3 years on sandy loam to study the effects of pre-seeding, post-seeding and split application of limited amounts of water on root growth, water use, dry matter accumulation and grain yield of wheat. This article reports the treatment effects on dry matter accumulation and grain yield.Early season water stress decreased the rate of dry matter accumulation. Grain yield responded significantly to irrigation 30 days after seeding irrespective of the amount of water, year and soil type. Yield with post-seeding irrigation averaged 3518 kg ha^?1 against 2317 kg ha^?1 for unirrigated control in loamy sand and 4440 kg ha^?1 against 3391 kg ha^?1 in sandy loam. The increase in yield was manifested by a significant increase in the number of effective tillers per m row length, number of grains per ear and thousand grain weight.     

Conjunctive use of saline and non-saline irrigation waters in semi-arid regions

In arid and semi-arid regions, effluent from sub-surface drainage systems is often saline and during the dry season its disposal poses an environmental problem. A field experiment was conducted from 1989 to 1992 using saline drainage water (EC=10.5–15.0 dS/m) together with fresh canal water (EC=0.4 dS/m) for irrigation during the dry winter season. The aim was to find if crop production would still be feasible and soil salinity would not be increased unacceptably by this practice. The experimental crops were a winter crop, wheat, and pearl-millet and sorghum, the rainy season crops, grown on a sandy loam soil. All crops were given a pre-plant irrigation with fresh canal water. Subsequently, the wheat crop was irrigated four times with different sequences of saline drainage water and canal water. The rainy season crops received no further irrigation as they were rainfed. Taking the wheat yield obtained with fresh canal water as the potential value (100%), the mean relative yield of wheat irrigated with only saline drainage water was 74%. Substitution of canal water at first post-plant irrigation and applying thereafter only saline drainage water, increased the yield to 84%. Cyclic irrigations with canal and drainage water in different treatments resulted in yields of 88% to 94% of the potential. Pearl-millet and sorghum yields decreased significantly where 3 or 4 post-plant irrigations were applied with saline drainage water to previous wheat crop, but cyclic irrigations did not cause yield reduction. The high salinity and sodicity of the drainage water increased the soil salinity and sodicity in the soil profile during the winter season, but these hazards were eliminated by the sub-surface drainage system during the ensuing monsoon periods. The results obtained provide a promising option for the use of poor quality drainage water in conjunction with fresh canal water without undue yield reduction and soil degradation. This will save the scarce canal water, reduce the drainage water disposal needs and associated environmental problems.     

Effects of irrigation strategies and soils on field grown potatoes: Yield and water productivity

Yield and water productivity of potatoes grown in 4.32 m² lysimeters were measured in coarse sand, loamy sand, and sandy loam and imposed to full (FI), deficit (DI), and partial root-zone drying (PRD) irrigation strategies. PRD and DI as water-saving irrigation treatments received 65% of FI after tuber bulking and lasted for 6 weeks until final harvest. Analysis across the soil textures showed that fresh yields were not significant between the irrigation treatments. However, the same analysis across the irrigation treatments revealed that the effect of soil texture was significant on the fresh yield and loamy sand produced significantly higher fresh yield than the other two soils, probably because of higher leaf area index, higher photosynthesis rates, and “stay-green” effect late in the growing season. More analysis showed that there was a significant interaction between the irrigation treatments and soil textures that the highest fresh yield was obtained under FI in loamy sand. Furthermore, analysis across the soil textures showed that water productivities, WP (kg ha⁻¹ fresh tuber yield mm⁻¹ ET) were not significantly different between the irrigation treatments. However, across the irrigation treatments, the soil textures were significantly different. This showed that the interaction between irrigation treatments and soil textures was significant that the highest significant WP was obtained under DI in sandy loam. While PRD and DI treatments increased WP by, respectively, 11 and 5% in coarse sand and 28 and 36% in sandy loam relative to FI, they decreased WP in loamy sand by 15 and 13%. The reduced WP in loamy sand was due to nearly 28% fresh tuber yield loss in PRD and DI relative to FI even though ET was reduced by 9 and 11% in these irrigation treatments. This study showed that different soils will affect water-saving irrigation strategies that are worth knowing for suitable agricultural water management. So, under non-limited water resources conditions, loamy sand produces the highest yield under full irrigation but water-saving irrigations (PRD and DI) are not recommended due to considerable loss (28%) in yield. However, under restricted water resources, it is recommended to apply water-saving irrigations in sandy loam and coarse sand to achieve the highest water productivity.
