Abstract:
      On based long-term site-specific trials, this paper studied the effects of conservation tillage(subsoiling tillage with mulching, ST and no-till with mulching, NT) and conventional tillage(CT) on soil temperature on dryland sloping farming in the western part of Henan. Temperature data loggers were used to record the temperature at the depth of 0, 5, 15 cm and 30 cm under the treatments every 2 hours from Oct. 2004 to Sept. 2005. The results showed: (1) ST and NT could weaken the change of average soil temperature of 0~30 cm layer every rmonth in a year. The soil temperature under the two conservation tillages was higher from Dec. 2004 to Jan. 2005, obviously lower from Jun to Sept. 2005, compared with CT. (2) ST and NT had the effect that temperature of surface soil was increased in higher temperature, decreased in lower temperature during 24 hour of a day. The effect was weakened with soil layer adding up. At 15 cm layer, soil temperature under ST and NT was lower from winter wheat planting to joiting stage. Furthermore, ST made the temperature higher than that of CK. (3) Winter wheat growth was restrained under the treatments of ST and NT before wheat joiting, which made height fall, tillers, leaves and second roots decrease, dry matter accumulation rate slow down. After that, the items except tillers under the two conservation tillages gradually overtake that of CK.
