Abstract:
      In order to find out the influence of different water and nitrogen supply to growth characteristics of crops under the controlled root-divided alternative irrigation (CRDI), a pot experiment was conducted to a nalyze the growth, yield and water use efficiency of tomato under the treatments of CRDI as well as water and nitrogen supply. The results indicated that, under CRDI, the plant height of low nitrogen treatment was high, the stem diameter of high water and low nitrogen treatment or low water and middle nitrogen treatmen t was high, and the dry mass accumulation of medium nitrogen treatment was 1.25 and 1.01 times that of high nitrogen treatment and low nitrogen treatment, respe ctively. The mean water use efficiency of high water treatment with CRDI was 1.0 5 and 1.12 times that of low water treatment with CRDI and high water treatment with conventional irrigation respectively. CRDI could increase root-shoot ratio by 7.89%~31.61%. The mean yield of high water treatment with conventional irri gation was the highest, which was 1.05 and 1.39 times that of high water tre atme nt with CRDI and low water treatment with CRDI respectively. Under CRDI, the wat er consumption of medium nitrogen treatment was 1.04 and 1.16 times that of low nitrogen treatment and high nitrogen treatment respectively.
