Effects of Irrigation Water Quality and Drip Tape Arrangement on Soil Salinity,Soil Moisture Distribution,and Cotton Yield (Gossypium hirsutum L.) Under Mulched Drip Irrigation in Xinjiang,China

More and more attention is being focused on saline water utilization in irrigation due to the shortage of fresh water to agriculture in many regions. For purpose of reducing the risks of using of saline water for irrigation, the mechanism of soil moisture and salinity distribution and transport should be well understood for developing optimum management strategies. In this paper, field experiments were carried out at Junggar Basin, China, to study the effects of drip irrigation water quality and drip tape arrangement on distribution of soil salinity and soil moisture. Six treatments were designed, including two drip tape arrangement modes and three irrigation water concentration levels （0.24, 4.68, and 7.42 dS m^-l）. Results showed that, soil moisture content （SMC） directly beneath the drip tape in all treatments kept a relatively high value about 18% before boll opening stage; the SMC in the narrow strip in single tape arrangement （Ms） plot was obviously lower than that in the double tapes arrangement （Md） plot, indicating that less sufficient water was supplied under the same condition of irrigation depth, but there was no significant reduction in yield. Mulching had not significant influence on salt accumulation but the drip tape arrangement, under the same condition of irrigation water depth and quality, compared with Md, Ms reduced salt accumulation in root zone and brought about relatively high cotton yield.

Effects of Soil Water Content on Cotton Root Growth and Distribution Under Mulched Drip Irrigation

The relation between soil water content and the growth of cotton root was studied for the scheme of field water and cotton yield under mulched drip irrigation. Based on the field experiments, three treatments of soil water content were conducted with 90%, 75%θf, and 60%θf （θfis field water capacity）. Cotton roots and root-shoot ratio were studied with digging method, and the soil moisture was observed with TDR （time domain reflector）, and cotton yield was measured. The results indicated that the growth of cotton root accorded with Logistic growth curve in the three treatments, the cotton root grew quickly and its weight was very high under 75%θf because of the suitable soil water condition, while grew slowly and its weight was lower under 90%θf due to water moisture beyond the suitable condition, and the root weight was in between under 60%θf For the three water treatments, the cotton root weight decreased with soil depth, and decreased more significantly in deeper soil layer with the soil moisture increasing. And the ratio of cotton root weight in 0-30 cm soil layer to the total root weight was the highest under 75%θf. The cotton root system was distributed mainly in the soil of narrow row and wide row mulched with plastic film, and little in the soil outside plastic film. The weight of cotton root was the highest in the soil of narrow row or wide row mulched with plastic film under 75%θf. Root-shoot ratio decreased with the soil moisture increasing. The soil water content affected cotton yields, and cotton yield was the highest under 75%θf. The higher soil moisture level is unfavorable to the growth of cotton root system and yield of cotton under mulched drip irrigation.

Localized salt accumulation: the main reason for cotton root length decrease during advanced growth stages under drip irrigation with mulch film in a saline soil

High salinity in soil can prevent root growth of most plants. To investigate soil salinity dynamics under drip irrigation with mulch film （DI） and its effects on cotton root length, we conducted field experiments in saline soil based on a monolith method using flooding irrigation with mulch film （FI） as a control at the Korla Experimental Station of the Xinjiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences, China in 2009 and 2010. The results showed that the total root length decreased 120 days after sowing （DAS） under DI, and was mainly centered in the 0-30 cm soil layer and at distances of 30-70 cm from the drip-lines. There was almost complete overlap in the area of root length decline and salt accumulation. In the soil depth of 0-30 cm and at distances of 30-70 cm from the drip-lines at 110 to 160 DAS in 2009 and 171 DAS in 2010, the electrical conductivity （EC） in all soil samples was at least 3 mS/cm and in some cases exceeded 5 mS/cm under DI treatment. However, EC barely exceeded 3 mS/cm and no reduction in root length was observed under FI treatment. Correlation analysis of soil EC and root length density indicated that the root length declined when the soil EC exceeded 2.8 mS/cm. The main reason for the decrease of root length in cotton under DI was localized accumulation of salinity.

Effects of soil moisture on cotton root length density and yield under drip irrigation with plastic mulch in Aksu Oasis farmland

Effects of soil moisture on cotton root length density (total root length per unit soil volume) and yield under drip irrigation with plastic mulch were studied through field experiments. The results indicate that spatial distributions of root length density of cotton under various water treatments were basically similar. Horizontally, both root length densities of cotton in wide and narrow rows were similar, and higher than that between mulches. Vertically, root length density of cotton decreased with increasing soil depth. The distribution of root length density is different under different irrigation treatments. In conditions of over-irrigation, the root length density of cotton between mulches would increase. However, it would decrease in both the wide rows and narrow rows. The mean root length density of cotton increased with increasing irrigation water. Water stress caused the root length density to increase in lower soil layers. There is a significant correlation between root length density and yields of cotton at the flower-boll and wadding stages. The regression between irrigation amount and yield of cotton can be expressed as y = -0.0026x2+18.015x-24845 (R2 = 0.959). It showed that the irrigation volume of 3,464.4 m3/hm2 led to op-timal root length density. The yield of cotton was 6,360 .8 kg/hm2 under that amount of irrigation.

Cotton's Water Demand and Water-Saving Benefits under Drip Irrigation with Plastic Film Mulch

The primary purpose of this research was to give suitable irrigation program according to the growth period and water requirement.A cotton field experiment with mulched drip irrigation was conducted at the National Field Observation and Research Station for Oasis Farmland Ecosystem in Aksu of Xinjiang in 2008.Water balance method was adopted to study the water requirement and water consumption law of cotton under mulched drip irrigation in Tarim Irrigated Area.Statistical analysis of experimental data of irrigation indicates that the relationship between yield of cotton and irrigation presents a quadratic parabola.We fit the model of cotton water production on the basis of field experimental data of cotton.And the analysis on water saving benefit of cotton under mulched drip irrigation was done.Results indicate that water requirements for the irrigated cotton are 543 mm in Tarim Irrigated Area.The water requirements of seedling stage is 252 mm,budding stage is 186 mm,bolling stage is 316 mm and wadding stage is 139 mm.the irrigation amount determines the spatial distribution of soil moisture and water consumption during cotton life cycle.However,water consumption at different growth stages was inconsistent with irrigation.Quantitatively,the water consumed by cotton decreases upon the increase of irrigation amount.From the perspective of water saving,the maximal water use efficiency can reach 3 091 m3/ha.But the highest cotton yield needs 3464 m3/ha irrigation water.In summary,compared to the conventional drip irrigation,a number of benefits in water saving and yield increase were observed when using plastic mulch.At the same amount of irrigation,the cotton yield with plastic mulch was 30.2% higher than conventional approaches,and the efficiency of water utilization increased by30.2%.While at the same yield level,29.3% water was saved by using plastic mulch,and the efficiency increased by 41.5%.

Effect of Different Norms of Under-Mulch-Drip Irrigation on Diurnal Changes of Photosynthesis and Chlorophyll Fluorescence Parameter in High Yield Cotton of Xinjiang

Under-mulch-drip irrigation is an advanced irrigation technique, which combines plastic-film-covered cultivation with drip irrigation. The influence of different norms of under-mulch-drip irrigation on diurnal changes of photosynthetic rates and chlorophyll fluorescence parameters of cotton was studied, in order to understand the physiological mechanisms of water-saving and high-yielding farming in Xinjiang. Results indicated that limited drip irrigation, which supplies 2/3 of 375 m3 ha-1, the widely-used irrigation norm in cotton cultivation in Xinjiang, caused a water deficit in cotton field. Compared with the proper drip irrigation, the leaf photosynthetic rate under limited drip irrigation decreased during 9:00 to 11:00 a. m. , and was significantly suppressed at midday, and then recovered afterwards. Using the chlorophyll fluorescence method, the absorption, transfer and transformation features of solar radiation by cotton leaf were investigated. Under limited drip irrigation, the variable fluorescence (Fv) and primary light transfer efficiency of PSII (Fv/Fm) in cotton leaves were reduced because of the high light intensities and high temperatures at noon, and the decrease in XinluzaoS was greater than that in Xinluzao6. Therefore, it could be concluded that Xinluzao6 has a higher drought-tolerance, and the Fv/Fm ratio could be used as a drought-resistance index for cotton.

Analysis on Major Agronomic Traits and Yield of Huayu Series of Peanut Cultivars under Mulched Drip Irrigation

[Objective] This study aimed to investigate the appearance of major agronomic traits and yield potential of Huayu series of peanut cultivars under the condition of mulched drip irrigation, so as to provide core parent materials for new peanut cultivar breeding in Xinjiang during Thirteenth Five-Year Plan. [Method] A total of 16 peanut cultivars of Huayu series were studied systematically by field experiment and laboratory analysis. In addition, the main stem height, lateral branch length, pod number per plant, 100-pod weight, 100-kernel weight, pod length, pod width and yield of different peanut cultivar were compared. [Result]Under the condition of mulched drip irrigation, the appearance of major agronomic traits of peanut cultivars in Xinjiang was better than that in Shandong areas. In Xinjiang, the yields of the peanut cultivars were increased in varying degrees. However,there were some differences in appearance of major agronomic traits, as well as yield, among different peanut cultivars. Among all the peanut cultivars, the single-plant productivities of Huayu 22, Huayu 28 and Huayu 50 were higher than those of the other cultivars, and the yields of Huayu 33 and Huayu 50 were higher than those of the other cultivars. Meanwhile, the late two cultivars' comprehensive traits were excellent. [Conclusion] In the high-yielding breeding of peanut in Xinjiang, Huayu 33 and Huayu50 can be used as core parent materials. Under the condition of mulched drip irrigation, their yield potential can be further explored.

为探明不同覆盖材料对滴灌水肥一体化条件下玉米产量和土壤水分分布的影响,以普通PE地膜和裸地为对照,分析全生物降解膜、加厚PE地膜、玉米秸秆等3种材料覆盖下对玉米产量和水分的影响。结果表明,玉米秸秆、加厚PE地膜和生物降解膜覆盖后玉米产量为13114.5~13708.5 kg/hm^(2),较普通PE地膜增产1.4%~6.0%;水分利用效率为24.17~25.11 kg/(mm·hm^(2)),较普通PE地膜提高2.3%~3.8%。产值与效益均高于普通PE地膜,均以玉米秸秆处理最高,分别为38383.8、24283.8元/hm^(2);生物降解膜次之,分别为37674.0、21624.0元/hm^(2);加厚PE地膜排第3,分别为36720.6、21570.6元/hm^(2)。收获后覆盖处理土壤水分均呈典型的“双峰”曲线,上层含水量高于下层,对深层土壤水分影响较大。在降水量低、蒸发量高的沿黄灌区,覆膜的主要作用是减蒸保水,用可生物降解的环保型降解地膜、易回收型的加厚PE地膜或固炭培肥型的秸秆替代普通PE膜可行。

不同矿化度水源膜下滴灌对棉花土壤盐分分布及生长的影响

利用微咸水膜下灌溉是缓解干旱区农业灌溉资源短缺的有效途径之一,分析不同矿化度水源膜下滴灌对土壤盐分分布及作物生长的影响对于确定灌溉水源矿化度阈值具有重要意义。开展4 a不同梯度矿化度水源膜下滴灌棉花测坑试验,设置6个处理矿化度分别为1 g/L(CK)、2 g/L(A)、3 g/L(B)、4 g/L(C)、5 g/L(D)和6 g/L(E),分析不同梯度矿化度水源膜下滴灌土壤盐分累积及棉花生长特征,确定微咸水膜下滴灌棉花灌溉矿化度阈值。结果表明:2019-2022年,0~100 cm平均土壤电导率以每年0.920 dS/m、0.995 dS/m、1.196 dS/m和1.188 dS/m的速率呈线性增长的趋势。随着灌溉年限增加,不同梯度微咸水膜下滴灌下土壤电导率呈现增加趋势。5 g/L和6 g/L处理土壤盐分累积最大,分别为38.70%和39.19%;灌水12 h后,宽行表层20~40 cm土壤盐分累积最为明显,土壤电导率为0.30~2.1 dS/m;窄行土壤盐分在40~60 cm土层处出现累积,土壤电导率为1.26~1.93 dS/m。矿化度为3 g/L水源膜下滴灌棉花土壤盐分累积量较小,对棉花叶片光合作用指数影响最小,生长指标和产量达到最大,微咸水膜下滴灌棉花适宜的灌溉水源阈值为3 g/L。

膜下滴灌微咸水棉花临界氮稀释曲线模型与氮肥用量推荐

为了优化膜下滴灌微咸水条件下棉花生产氮素管理,该研究于2017—2019年在新疆库尔勒市开展3 a定位施氮试验。以新陆中棉花为试验材料,设置施氮水平0(NF0)、150(NF1)、250(NF2)、300(NF3)、350(NF4)、450(NF5)kg/hm^(2),各试验处理灌水量均为487.5 mm,分析施氮量对棉花地上部干物质量、氮素累积吸收量、产量和氮肥利用效率的影响,构建了膜下滴灌微咸水棉花临界氮浓度稀释曲线模型。结果表明:棉花氮素累积吸收量随生育期进程的推进而增大,棉花临界氮浓度与最大地上部干物质量符合幂函数关系。氮肥农学利用率和表观利用率均与施氮量呈二次多项式关系,氮肥生理利用率和偏生产力均与施氮量呈线性关系。NF1、NF2和NF3处理的氮素营养指数均小于1,表明氮素营养供应不足,棉花生长受到氮素限制。NF4和NF5处理的氮素营养指数接近于1,说明棉花氮素营养状况较好,但NF5产量和氮素利用效率较低,NF4获得最高产量和较高的氮素利用效率。因此,南疆膜下滴灌微咸水棉花生育期推荐施氮量为350 kg/hm^(2)。该研究构建的临界氮浓度稀释曲线模型对田间施氮管理具有重要意义。

新疆灌区农业节水发展现状与对策建议

水是新疆可持续发展的生命线,也是新疆农业发展的瓶颈。农业是新疆用水大户,占经济社会总用水量的90%以上,南疆农业用水占比更高。新疆节水潜力重点在农业,农业节水是新疆经济社会可持续发展的根本出路。为提高新疆农业水资源利用效率,促进农业高质量发展,本文梳理回顾了新疆灌区农业节水发展历程,分析了农业节水发展现状及存在问题,结合新时期国家对新疆农业发展的新定位、新要求,提出了大力发展适水型现代农业、加大高效节水工程建设、持续推进降盐节水、加强数字化灌区建设、加强农业节水宣传培训、健全农业节水服务体系等对策建议,以期为新疆现代农业可持续发展和保障国家粮棉油安全提供有力支撑。

不同水氮配施对北疆膜下滴灌棉花生长发育的影响

研究灌水频率、灌溉定额和施氮量对膜下滴灌棉花生长、产量和水分利用效率的影响,探明灌水频率、灌溉定额和施氮量的最优组合模式,为膜下滴灌棉花的水氮管理提供科学合理的灌溉技术依据.试验设置3个灌水频率:7 d(D1),10 d(D2),13 d(D3),2个灌溉定额:4400 m^(3)/hm^(2)(W1),3300 m^(3)/hm^(2)(W2)和2个施氮水平:300 kg/hm^(2)(F1),225 kg/hm^(2)(F2),共12个处理,每个处理3次重复.结果表明:D1的株高较D2,D3分别降低2.90%和7.96%;叶面积指数与灌水频率呈正相关,D1的叶面积指数较D2,D3分别提高1.96%和7.28%;蕾铃生物量和地上部生物量之比随灌水频率的增加而增加;D1的产量较D2和D3分别增加3.84%和11.76%;W1的产量较W2增加5.56%;F1的产量较F2增加13.49%;D1的水分利用效率WUE较D2和D3分别增加2.75%和9.80%;W2的WUE较W1增加22.71%;F1的WUE较F2增加11.37%.说明D1水平避免棉花过度生长,提高棉花群体发展,增强群体光合作用和物质生产能力,确保地上部生物量的生殖生长,并且随着灌溉定额和施氮量的增加,棉花株高、叶面积指数和地上部生物量也显著增加,从而提高棉花产量.此外,高频减水能够保持根层水分的适宜程度,满足棉花水分需求,高氮能够满足棉花生长的需氮量,减少水分蒸发损失,提高水分利用效率.所以,综合考虑棉花产量和水分利用效率,得出灌水频率7 d,灌溉定额3300 m^(3)/hm^(2),施氮量300 kg/hm^(2)为较优管理模式.

灌溉水盐度对玉米出苗、产量、品质及土壤盐分动态的影响

为探究适宜于我国北方干旱半干旱农业区玉米正常出苗、籽粒高产优质、土壤积盐有限的灌溉水盐分浓度,在内蒙古河套灌区开展了为期2年的膜下滴灌玉米大田试验。设置5个灌溉水盐度水平(1、2、3、4、5 g/L),在土壤基质势下限-20 kPa和灌水定额22.5 mm/次条件下,玉米耗水量、植株干物质量和籽粒产量均与灌溉水盐度呈显著二次函数关系(R^(2)>0.84),当灌溉水盐度为2 g/L时植株干物质量和籽粒产量达到极大值,当灌溉水盐度超过3 g/L时,含盐水灌溉对玉米出苗、植株干物质积累和籽粒产量均产生不利影响。灌溉水盐度在1~5 g/L范围内每增加1 g/L,膜下滴灌玉米对应水分利用效率下降0.29 kg/m~3;籽粒蛋白质含量随灌溉水盐度增加而增加,籽粒淀粉含量随灌溉水盐度增加而降低。此外,当灌溉水盐度高于3 g/L时,膜下滴灌对应土壤盐分等值线垂直半径和水平半径均随灌溉水盐度的增加而减小。基于玉米生育期内籽粒高产优质、减少土壤积盐的目标,在试验设计条件下,推荐河套灌区膜下滴灌玉米的灌溉水盐度上限为3 g/L。

灌溉水盐分组成对番茄生长及土壤盐碱的影响

[目的]为探究适宜于干旱、半干旱区番茄大田栽培的灌溉水盐度和盐分组成。[方法]在宁夏银北灌区开展3年番茄膜下滴灌野外田间试验,设置3种不同盐分浓度(1,2,3 g/L)和5个Na∶Ca摩尔浓度比(1,3,5,7,9)的灌溉水源。[结果]在较低的灌溉水盐度(1 g/L)下,适当增加灌溉水Na∶Ca摩尔比有利于番茄植株的干物质和氮磷钾素积累;番茄单果重、商品果产量和总产量随灌溉水Na∶Ca摩尔比增加而线性下降,且灌溉水Na∶Ca摩尔比每增加1,番茄商品果产量下降5761.7~6036.7 kg/hm^(2);“高盐度(2,3 g/L)、低Na∶Ca摩尔比(1,3)”的灌溉水较“低盐度、高Na∶Ca摩尔比”的灌溉水,更有利于番茄增产;膜内表层40 cm土壤钠吸附比和表层100 cm土壤积盐量随灌溉水Na∶Ca摩尔比的增加线性增加。[结论]为在宁夏银北灌区大田栽培番茄生育期内减少积盐并获得相对高产,推荐土壤基质势控制下限-20 kPa下膜下滴灌的适宜灌溉水盐度为2 g/L且Na∶Ca摩尔浓度比为5。

灌溉水温与施氮量对滴灌棉田土壤水热及棉花生长和产量的影响

【目的】探究膜下滴灌棉田土壤水热环境和棉花生长对灌溉水温与施氮量的响应机理,旨在确定北疆滴灌棉花合理的灌溉水温和施氮量。【方法】以新陆早42号棉花为试验材料,设置4个灌溉水温:15℃(T0)、20℃(T1)、25℃(T2)和30℃(T3);3个施氮水平:250 kg·hm^(-2)(F1)、300 kg·hm^(-2)(F2)和350 kg·hm^(-2)(F3),采用双因素完全随机试验设计。分析不同灌溉水温条件下施氮量对棉田土壤水热环境、棉花生长、产量和水氮利用效率的影响。【结果】常规灌溉水温与低氮处理降低土壤温度,抑制棉花生长,单株铃数降低并导致籽棉产量下降。适宜的灌溉水温和施氮量可以改善土壤水热环境,促进棉花生长发育,提高籽棉产量和水氮利用效率。与15℃常规灌溉水温相比,增温灌溉显著提高了土壤温度0.58—3.30℃,土壤储水量降低1.2%—7.2%,土壤呼吸速率显著提高5.7%—28.0%;随灌溉水温升高,棉花株高、叶面积指数及地上部干物质积累量先增高后降低,在灌溉水温为25℃时达最大。随施氮量增加,土壤储水量降低3.3%—6.7%,土壤呼吸速率显著提高3.6%—9.5%,棉花株高增加3.2%—4.9%,叶面积指数显著增加5.8%—11.0%,地上部干物质积累量显著增加1.2%—2.2%,均在施氮量为350 kg·hm^(-2)时达最大。水分利用效率、氮肥偏生产力及籽棉产量随灌溉水温升高均先增加后减少,随施氮量增加分别表现为增加、减少、增加的趋势。通径分析表明,土壤温度对籽棉产量直接作用最大,而施氮量通过促进棉花生长对籽棉产量间接作用最大。籽棉产量与水分利用效率均在T2F2处理达到最大值,分别为6652.3 kg·hm^(-2)、1.17 kg·m^(-3),且T2F2处理的氮肥偏生产力(22.17 kg·kg^(-1))显著大于T2F3处理(18.80 kg·kg^(-1))。【结论】综合考虑灌溉水温与施氮量对土壤温度,土壤呼吸速率,棉花生长、产量及水氮利用效率的影响,推荐北疆棉区适宜灌溉水温为25℃,施氮量为300 kg·hm^(-2)。

改善土壤理化性质和作物出苗率的最佳生物质炭施用量

确定改善土壤理化性质和作物出苗率的最佳生物质炭施用量,可为田间管理提供依据。以新疆盐碱土为研究对象,在生物质炭施用量分别为0、10、50及100t·hm^(-2)条件下,开展了膜下滴灌田间小区试验,对比了生物质炭施用量对土壤容重、温度、有机碳等理化性质和作物出苗率的影响,并进一步分析了作物出苗率与土壤理化性质的关系。结果表明,生物质炭施用量增加显著降低了0~30 cm土层的容重,棉花和甜菜的土壤容重分别降低0~0.32和0.04~0.25 g·cm^(-3)。与不施用处理比较,100 t·hm^(-2)的生物质炭施用量显著增加了棉花和甜菜不同生育期的5 cm深度地温,但10和50 t·hm^(-2)的施用量只显著增加了棉花蕾期和铃期的5 cm深度地温。施用生物质炭增加了棉花和甜菜的土壤有机碳含量,不区分年份和生育期增幅相应为0.98~13.2和0.66~12.1g·kg^(-1);苗期和收获期(不区分年份和作物)增幅分别为1.20~7.43和0.66~13.2 g·kg^(-1),苗期各施用量下有机碳均显著增加,收获期部分施用量下有机碳显著增加。出苗率大致随容重增加而增加,随土壤温度增加先增加后减小,最适宜作物出苗的温度为22~26℃;出苗率随土壤有机碳增加先增加后减小,但高生物质炭施用量导致的土壤有机碳增加过高抑制了作物出苗。当生物质炭施用量为10t·hm^(-2)时,棉花和甜菜的出苗率大于0.7,高于其他3种生物质炭处理,因此推荐10 t·hm^(-2)作为最优生物质炭施用量。

Soil particle size distribution and its relationship with soil water and salt under mulched drip irrigation in Xinjiang of China

Soil particle size distribution(PSD),one of the most important soil physical attributes,is of great importance to soil water movement,soil erosion and soil solute migration.In this study,the soil PSD of 563 soil samples from the mulched drip irrigated cotton fields in Xinjiang of China were measured by laser diffraction particle size analyzer.The soil PSD characteristics and its relations with soil water and salt were studied by using the combined methods of textural triangle,fractal and multifractal analysis.The results showed very low clay content(about 1.52%) while really high sand content of the studied soil,and a complex shape of bimodal or unimodal of soil PSD.The results also showed that the two indices,i.e.,standard deviation and the peak value of soil particle relative volumes,were good indicators of soil PSD and thus had good relations with fractal and multifractal characteristics.The correlative analysis further indicated that the mulched drip irrigation had a significant impact on the distribution of the soil salt,while this impact withered for the deeper soil layer.The soil texture feature was found to dominate soil water and salt distribution,especially the surface soil salt content and the deep soil water content.

Effects of timing and duration under brackish water mulch drip irrigation on cotton yield in northern Xinjiang,China

The brackish water is an important potential water source and has frequently been utilized to drip-irrigate cotton due to the water shortage in the arid region of Xinjiang,northwestern of China.The brackish water is usually saline water with salinity ranging from 1 g/L to 5 g/L,which is widely distributed in this area,so the reasonable use of that brackish water may not only play a vital role in the local agricultural production,but also save plenty of freshwater.However,irrigation with brackish water usually causes the reduction of crop yield and soil salinization which can negatively impact plants through three major components:osmotic,nutritious and toxic stresses.Therefore,a field experiment,with eight different time-series irrigation modes using brackish water(3.5±0.2)g/L and freshwater(<1 g/L),beneath a combined film and drip-irrigation system was carried out to study the changes of soil salt content and cotton yield aiming to search for a balanced method during the 2 cotton growing seasons in 2012 and 2013.The results indicated that the time-series irrigation modes determined the soil salinity and moisture distribution based on observed spatio-temporal distribution of water content and electric conductivity,and soil salinity generally gathered at the depth of 0-10 cm and 60 cm of soil with the increase of irrigation quota.Moreover,the results demonstrated that the yields of cotton which was grown using brackish water and freshwater were better than those only using freshwater and the soil salinity with reasonable irrigation timing was not accumulated obviously.
