Effects of Water Deficit on Crop Growth and Water Use Under Different Soil Bulk Densities
In order to study the changes of growth index and yield of winter wheat and summer maize under different soil bulk densities and different degrees of water deficit
a bucket-planting experiment was conducted. Three soil bulk densities were set up:1.2 g/cm3
1.4 g/cm3
1.6 g/cm3
and three lower limits of soil moisture control:50%
60% and 70% of field water-holding capacity
respectively. The root system
growth index
water consumption
yields and water use of winter wheat-summer maize were studied. The results showed that with the increases of water deficit
the growth index
biomass
water consumption and yield of winter wheat and summer maize decreased. With the increases of soil bulk densities
the biomass and yield of winter wheat increased first and then decreased
and the water consumption and water use efficiency of winter wheat decreased; the yield
water consumption and water use efficiency of summer maize decreased. In the experiment
1.4 g/cm3 and 1.2 g/cm3 were the optimum soil bulk densities for winter wheat and summer maize
respectively. The interaction between soil bulk density and water treatment had a significant effect on plant height
water consumption and water use efficiency of summer maize
but there was no significant effect on biomass and yield of winter wheat and summer maize. These results could provide a theoretical reference for increasing yield and increasing efficiency of crops and efficient utilization of soil and water resources in Huanghuai area.
