Abstract:
      In jujube orchards of the slope area in the dry-hot valley of Jinsha River, six modes of irrigation and mulching were set in the experiment,namely flood irrigation in bare land(CK), furrow irrigation with straw buried in straight ditches, furrow irrigation with straw buried in mesh ditches, flood irrigation with plants covering, flood irrigation with soil surface straw mulching,and furrow irrigation with straw buried in straight ditch+soil surface straw mulching. The results show that,for soil conservation and water storage capacity,flood irrigation with soil surface straw mulching is better than furrow irrigation with straw buried in straight ditches,and much better than CK. As for rrigation water use efficiency and economic benefit, furrow irrigation with straw buried in straight ditches and furrow irrigation with straw buried in mesh ditches>flood irrigation with straw or plants covering>flood irrigation in bare land. The frequency of furrow irrigation with straw buried in straight ditch+soil surface straw mulching is the lowest,less than 28.6% of that of ck,while its water use efficiency is 6. 7 times of the ck. The order of water-saving eficiency is furrow irrigation with straw buried in straight ditch +soil suface straw mulching furrow irrigation with straw buried in mesh ditches≥ flood irrigation with soil surface straw mulching>furrow irrigation with straw buried in straight ditches ≥flood irrigation with plants coveringCK. Furrow irrigation with straw buried in straight ditch+soil surface straw mulching has the best economic benefit, then followed by furrow irrigation with straw buried in mesh ditches, and they are 2.36 and 2.16 times of that of ck, while their output/ input ratio are 1.9 and 1.8 times of that of ck. All these indicate that furrow irrigation with straw buried in straight ditch plus soil surface straw mulching can make irrigation water fully infiltrate into soil, reduce suface runoff and evaporation, improve soil water storage capacity, so as to improve irigat ion water use efficiency and orchard economic benefits.
