Effect of Saline Water Irrigation on Soil Water-stable Aggregates in Wheat-maize Crop Double Cropping System
a long-term saline water irrigation experiment was carried out on wheat-maize farmland since 2006
and studied the change characteristics of soil salinity (ECe)
water-stable aggregates particle size distribution and their stability index under the condition of continuous saline water irrigation with different salinity in the 13th and14th year (in 2018 and 2019). Five salinity levels of irrigation water were tested:2 (T1)
4 (T2)
6 (T3)
and 8 (T4)
and fresh groundwater (1 g/L) was used as control treatment (CK). The salinity level from T1 to T4 was formed by mixing sea salt into the freshwater. The results showed that saline water irrigation increased soil ECe. Compared with CK
the ECe in the treatment of 2 g/L showed no significant difference
but a significant increase when the salinity of irrigation water beyond 4 g/L. Saline water irrigation affected the particle size distribution of soil water-stable aggregates. When the salinity of irrigation water was less than 4 g/L
the macroaggregate (>0.25 mm) was the dominant particle size of soil water stable aggregates in 0—40 cm soil layer. With the increase of irrigation water salinity
the mass fraction of macroaggregate decreased
while the mass fraction of microaggregate (0.053~0.25 mm) and silt + clay aggregate (<0.053 mm) increased. When the salinity of irrigation water reached 6 g/L
silt + clay aggregate was dominant in 0—40 cm soil layer. With the increase of irrigation water salinity
the average weight diameter (MWD) and geometric mean diameter (GMD) of soil aggregates decreased
while the fractal dimension (D) increased
which meant that the stability of soil water stable aggregates decreased. Under this irrigation system
saline water with salinity greater than or equal to 4 g/L significantly increased soil salinity and destroyed soil aggregate structure
which should be used cautiously in the irrigation of wheat-maize crop system.
