Abstract:

In order to explore the efficient water-saving irrigation system for the intercropping mode of cotton and potato, the research on potato with drip irrigation in intercropping system was conducted in 2011 and 2012, and the influences of different drip irrigation norms (75 mm /90 mm / 105 mm / 120 mm) on the potato yield and water use efficiency were analyzed.The results showed that the potato yield was proportional to the drip irrigation norm and significantly correlated with the precipitation and irrigation quota at tuber initiation stage and tuber growth stage, with the correlation coefficient of 0.960 and 0.998 respectively in 2011 and 2012. The potato yield didn't show significant differences between different treatments in 2011. The treatment with 120 mm irrigation exhibited the highest yield of 24 921.2 kg ha–1 in 2012. It was 15.2% higher than that of the treatment irrigated 75 mm, with significant difference between them. The water consumption increased with the irrigation quota increasing, showing significant differences among different treatments. But the water use efficiency showed no significant differences. The research preliminarily indicated that increasing drip irrigation norm in potato and adjusting the irrigation structure rationally are beneficial to improving yield and water use efficiency.
