Soil Pore Structure and Water Movement Characteristics of Sugarcane Field Under the Influence of Two Typical Tillage Methods
In order to clarify the effects of tillage methods on soil pore structure and soil water movement characteristics during agricultural production
sugarcane field in Guangxi was taken as the research object
soil pore structure characteristics of sugarcane field under two typical tillage methods of no-tillage and ridge tillage were studied based on soil slicing technique
combined with simulated infiltration test of soil column
the influence of soil pore structure on soil water movement was explored
and the interaction between pore structure and soil water movement characteristics was further revealed.The results showed that with the increase of soil layer depth
the pore morphology of no-till sugarcane field was dominated by aggregated clumps
while the pore morphology of ridge tillage sugarcane field was dominated by strip distribution.Compared with no-till sugarcane field
the total porosity and porosity of the soil with > 2.5 mm pore size increased by 32.5% and 21.9%
respectively
in ridge tillage sugarcane field.In the range of local soil depth
the ridge cultivated land significantly increased the porosity variation of the upper and lower soil layers (p<0.05)
and significantly decreased the connectivity of soil pores (average proximity index was 0.448)(p<0.05)
the soil pore morphology was relatively regular (average pore roundness was 0.335).As for the soil water movement characteristics
compared with the ridge tillage sugarcane field
the overall soil saturated hydraulic conductivity and mass flow rate in no-till sugarcane field were significantly higher (p<0.05)
while the initial water content was significantly lower (p<0.05).The change intensity of mass flow rate over time was relatively large
which improved the water infiltration capacity.Compared with no-tillage
the ridge tillage of sugarcane field reduced the connectivity of soil pore structure and resulted in water separation and storage in the surface soil
thus could reduce the infiltration of soil water to a certain extent
which was helpful to improve the soil water condition of sugarcane field.
