Abstract:

In North China Plain, winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is commonly watered with flood irrigation during its growth period. This results in not only very low water use efficiency (WUE) of irrigation, but also the reduction of groundwater level because of over exploitation in this area. To study water-saving techniques in winter wheat production, the effects of irrigation and planting patterns on the consumption of soil moisture before sowing (SMBS), evapotranspiration, grain yield, and WUE were investigated using a winter wheat cultivar “8049” in 2004–2005 and 2005–2006 growing seasons. The four planting patterns were uniform (30 cm) row (traditional pattern), wide (40 cm)–narrow (20 cm) row, furrow (double lines in the furrow with 20 cm spacing, and 40 cm between furrows), and bed (double lines on the bed with 20 cm spacing, and 40 cm between beds). Each planting pattern had four irrigation treatments, i.e., no irrigation, one irrigation at jointing stage, two irrigations at jointing and heading stages, three irrigations at jointing, heading, and milking stages. Compared with uniform row pattern, the consumption of soil moisture was much higher in other three planting patterns. The water consumption of SMBS in furrow planting patterns was mostly centralized in the soil layer below 30–50 cm. Compared with uniform row pattern, the grain yield was significantly increased in furrow planting pattern with two irrigations at jointing and heading stages and three irrigations at jointing, heading and milking stages; whereas, it was not significantly increased in bed pattern under the conditions of one, two, and three irrigations. The WUE of furrow planting pattern was significantly higher than those of the other three patterns with one irrigation at jointing stage or two irrigations at jointing and heading stages. On the basis of the experimental results, it is suggested that the furrow planting pattern in combination with considerably deficit irrigation at jointing or/and heading stages could be worth extending the application in winter wheat production.
