Application of Mulched Drip Irrigation Under Water Deficit in Improving the Productivity and Quality of Onion in Hexi Corridor
To uncover the effect of mulched drip irrigation under water deficit on the yield and quality of onion in Hexi corridor
a field experiment was conducted taking "Hongbao 903" as study object. The experimental employed a two-factor randomized blocks design of mulched drip irrigation with different water deficit gradients in growth periods
which included nine treatments totally. Onion photosynthetic parameters in every growth period were measured
and the onion productivity and quality were determined after harvest. Results showed that: (1) Water deficiency (WD) in the development and bulbification stages obviously decreased net photosynthetic rate
transpiration rate and intercellular CO2concentration
and the reduction increased with the raise of water deficiency. (2) WD decreased yield in different degree. Slight water deficit in ripening stage was the highest (47 940 kg/hm2)
secondly in the establishment satge (46 521 kg/hm2)
of which decreased by 5.93% and 8.71% (P>0.05) respectively compared with full irrigation. (3) Slight water deficit in the establishment period gave the highest irrigation efficiency (58.84 kg/m3)
secondly in ripening stage (52.60 kg/m3)
of which increased by 36.14% and 21.70% respectively compared with full irrigation. (4) The onion quality was the best under the treatments of slight water deficit in the establishment stage
indicated by the increased compactness
onion oil
soluble sugar
soluble protein
vitamin C and pyruvic acid
by 3.06%
2.50%
10.40%
17.57%
4.35% and 6.06% respectively
compared with full irrigation. Taking the productivity
water product efficiency
output value and fruits quality
etc. altogether
the principal component analysis was used for comprehensive evaluation. The slight water deficit in the establishment stage was an ideal stage for soil moisture regulation. There lative soil water content should be kept around 70%~75% in the establishment stage
and 80%~85% in others. These results could provide the theoretical and technical references for the water saving planting ofonion and its industrialization development.
