Nitrate leaching in a silage maize field under different irrigation and nitrogen fertilizer rates

Quantification of the interactive effects of nitrogen (N) and water on nitrate (NO₃) loss provides an important insight for more effective N and water management. The goal of this study was to evaluate the effect of different irrigation and nitrogen fertilizer levels on nitrate-nitrogen (NO₃-N) leaching in a silage maize field. The experiment included four irrigation levels (0.7, 0.85, 1.0, and 1.13 of soil moisture depletion, SMD) and three N fertilization levels (0, 142, and 189 kg N ha⁻¹), with three replications. Ceramic suction cups were used to extract soil solution at 30 and 60 cm soil depths for all 36 experimental plots. Soil NO₃-N content of 0-30 and 30-60-cm layers were evaluated at planting and harvest maturity. Total N uptake (NU) by the crop was also determined. Maximum NO₃-N leaching out of the 60-cm soil layer was 8.43 kg N ha⁻¹, for the 142 kg N ha⁻¹ and over irrigation (1.13 SMD) treatment. The minimum and maximum seasonal average NO₃ concentration at the 60 cm depth was 46 and 138 mg l⁻¹, respectively. Based on our findings, it is possible to control NO₃ leaching out of the root zone during the growing season with a proper combination of irrigation and fertilizer management.

Effect of irrigation amounts applied with subsurface drip irrigation on corn evapotranspiration, yield, water use efficiency, and dry matter production in a semiarid climate

Quantifying the local crop response to irrigation is important for establishing adequate irrigation management strategies. This study evaluated the effect of irrigation applied with subsurface drip irrigation on field corn (Zea mays L.) evapotranspiration (ETc), yield, water use efficiencies (WUE = yield/ETc, and IWUE = yield/irrigation), and dry matter production in the semiarid climate of west central Nebraska. Eight treatments were imposed with irrigation amounts ranging from 53 to 356 mm in 2005 and from 22 to 226 mm in 2006. A soil water balance approach (based on FAO-56) was used to estimate daily soil water and ETc. Treatments resulted in seasonal ETc of 580–663 mm and 466–656 mm in 2005 and 2006, respectively. Yields among treatments differed by as much as 22% in 2005 and 52% in 2006. In both seasons, irrigation significantly affected yields, which increased with irrigation up to a point where irrigation became excessive. Distinct relationships were obtained each season. Yields increased linearly with seasonal ETc (R² = 0.89) and ETc/ETp (R² = 0.87) (ETp = ETc with no water stress). The yield response factor (ky), which indicates the relative reduction in yield to relative reduction in ETc, averaged 1.58 over the two seasons. WUE increased non-linearly with seasonal ETc and with yield. WUE was more sensitive to irrigation during the drier 2006 season, compared with 2005. Both seasons, IWUE decreased sharply with irrigation. Irrigation significantly affected dry matter production and partitioning into the different plant components (grain, cob, and stover). On average, the grain accounted for the majority of the above-ground plant dry mass (≈59%), followed by the stover (≈33%) and the cob (≈8%). The dry mass of the plant and that of each plant component tended to increase with seasonal ETc. The good relationships obtained in the study between crop performance indicators and seasonal ETc demonstrate that accurate estimates of ETc on a daily and seasonal basis can be valuable for making tactical in-season irrigation management decisions and for strategic irrigation planning and management.

蒸散发(Evapotranspiration,ET)的时空动态对理解水热对植被的影响具有重要作用。利用MODIS MOD16A2和MOD13A3月产品数据及气象数据,通过回归分析和相关分析等方法,研究了锡林郭勒草原不同类型草地近15年(2000—2014年)的ET月季动态及相关因子。结果表明:3—10月的ET均表现出草甸草原典型草原和沙地植被荒漠草原,1—2月和11—12月的ET均表现出草甸草原典型草原和沙地植被荒漠草原。荒漠草原11月ET最大,其余各类草原均在7月达到最大值;各类草原的最小ET均为5月。各类草原3—5月和10月的ET均为下降趋势,而1月、6月、7月和12月的ET均为上升趋势。春季、夏季和秋季的ET均表现出草甸草原典型草原和沙地植被荒漠草原,而冬季的ET表现出草甸草原典型草原和沙地植被荒漠草原。荒漠草原冬季ET最大,其余各类草原的ET均在夏季达到最大值。各类草原春季和秋季的ET均为下降趋势,而夏季和冬季的ET均为上升趋势。Pearson相关分析表明3—10月及春季、夏季和秋季的ET与NDVI和降水量显著正相关,与平均气温显著负相关(p0.05);相反,1—2月、11—12月及冬季的ET与降水量负相关,而与平均气温显著正相关(p0.05)。     

Cultivation and grazing altered evapotranspiration and dynamics in Inner Mongolia steppes

To examine the effects of cultivation and grazing on evapotranspiration (ET), continuous measurements of ET were conducted over almost two years, from December 2005 to September 2007, using the eddy-covariance technique in two paired ecosystems: a steppe and a cropland in Duolun and a fenced and a degraded steppe in Xilinhot, Inner Mongolia, China. The ET of the four ecosystems approached or exceeded precipitation in both years. During the growing season (May–September), cultivation reduced the ecosystem ET in Duolun by 15% in the wet year (2006) and 7% in the dry year (2007). Grazing reduced the ET of the steppe in Xilinhot by 13% during the growing season of 2006, while there was similar ET between the degraded and fenced steppes in 2007. The low soil moisture in the cropland and the degraded steppe compared with the steppe at each area was the reason for the decrease in ET of the steppe ecosystems. In addition, a shorter growing period during the growing season, due to the changes in type and phenology characteristics of the vegetation associated with cultivation, was suspected for the reduction in ET in Duolun. The low soil moisture, due to the low precipitation in the dry year, limited vegetation growth and decreased canopy surface conductance (g_c), resulting in reduced plant transpiration. In addition, cultivation and grazing increased the sensitivity of ET to soil moisture in the dry year, suggesting that future changes in precipitation would not only affect ET by changing soil moisture directly, but would also influence the relationship between ET and soil moisture.     

Effects of different soil management practices on total P and Olsen-P sediment loss: A field rainfall simulation study

Field rainfall simulations were conducted in 2002 and 2005 to study the effects of different soil management practices on the total phosphorous (TP) and Olsen-P losses by soil erosion and redistribution along a 15 m long slope in Luoyang, Henan province, China. Field plots were set up in 2001 and included the following soil management practices: subsoiling with mulch (SSM), no-till with mulch (NTM), reduced tillage (RT), and a conventional tillage control (CT). The results showed that there were no significant differences in TP and Olsen-P content in the sediment load between different plots after 6 years uniform tillage practices. The enrichment of TP and Olsen-P at the lower slope showed a clear redistribution along the slope. Effects of tillage practices on the temporal pattern of the enrichment ratio (ER) of TP and Olsen-P was not uniform. ER_TP values were initially high and diminished after a short period of time and leveled to the end of the rainfall test in CT and RT plots, but remained ≥ 1. The ER of Olsen-P at the end of rainfall simulation showed a significant difference when compared to the initial stage, 0.78 to 1.60, respectively. However, the temporal loss rate of TP and Olsen-P showed a similar pattern because it was more depending on the sediment loss rate than on the concentration in the sediment. SSM resulted in 96% less TP and Olsen-P erosion loss compared to CT in 2002. Also, SSM showed the highest reduction in TP and Olsen-P loss after 4 years consistent practice. RT reduced TP and Olsen-P loss by 30%, although the runoff reduction was not significant. NTM was the best alternative with respect to TP and Olsen-P conservation, when considering its lower operational costs.
