Abstract:
      The SPAD value, photosynthetic characteristics, and chlorophyll fluorescence par ameters of wheat flag leaf after flowering stage were studied in a 2 year locat ed experiment in semi arid areas of southern Ningxia Autonomous Region using fi ve tillage practices of successive no tillage (NT), successive subsoiling (ST), subsoiling/no tillage(ST/NT), no tillage/subsoiling (NT/ST), and conventional tillage (CT). The results showed that the chlorophyll relative content under ST , NT/ST, ST/NT and NT were 32.2%, 27.4%, 13.5%, and 11% higher than CT, respecti vely, from flowering to filling stage. Compared with CT, the flag leaf daily ave rage photosynthesis rate (Pn) of different tillage treatments increased by 1 .6, 1.2, 0.9, and 0.6 μmol·m-2·s-1(P<0.05), and the transpir ation rate ( Tr) increased by 1.2, 0.9, 0.7, and 0.3 mmol·m-2·s-1(P<0. 05). The wa ter use efficiency of flag leaf uder ST and NT/ST was significantly higher than that of CT. In the flowering and filling stages, compared with CT, the values of Fv/Fm, Fv/Fo, φPSⅡ, qP and qN increased and the photoinhibition degre e decreased for the ST, NT/ST, ST/NT and NT treatments. Grain yields increased b y 42.1%, 35.3%, 30.3% and 23.5% under the NT/ST, ST, ST/NT, and NT treatments. T he WUE based on crop yield increased by 51.3%, 37.8%, 19.9% and 14.6% respec tively, compared with the CT. The continuous no-tillage, subsoiling, and two ro tation tillage practices could improve the crop transpiration efficiency with li mited rainfall in dryland, and reduce invalid evaporation of soil moisture. Even tually, the grain yield and WUE of the ST and NT/ST treatments were significantly improved.
