Abstract: |
In order to determine a suitable irrigation mode for Lycium in Yellow River irrigation area, four treat-ments of straw mulching and irrigation were tested on Lycium of three-year old, Ningqi 1,in Jingtai yujie plantation. CK as control, had no straw mulch coverage with an irrigation quota of 7 840 m3·hm-2.T1 to T3 treatment had straw mulch, and irrigation quota were7 840 m3·hm-2, 6 270 m3·hm-2, and 4 705m3·hm-2 respectively. Shoot growth, water consumption, yield, and water use efficieney were measured and calculated. The results showed that:(1)Lycium shoot growth increased with rise of irrigation quota, shoot growth of Lycium in T1 treatment was signifieantly higher(P<0.05)than in other treatments. There no significant difference between CK and T3(P>0.05);(2)There were no positive correlation between irrigation quota and dried Lycium production. The order of Lycium yield with different treat-ments was T2>T1>CK>T3. T2 treatment gained the highest yield, reached 5 168.39 kg·hm-2;(3)T2 treatment gained the highest water use efficiency, which was 4.61 kg·mm-1·hm-2. Compared to CK、T1 and T3 treatment, water
use efficiency was increased 52.6%, 24.7%and 25.4%, respectively.(4)Water consumption in T2 treatment reached 1 121.36 mm, which was significant lower than in CK and T1 treatment; In conclusion,T2 treatment, straw mulch combined with the irrigation quota of 6 270 m3·hm-2, was the best mode for enhance the Lycium yield and for water-saving irrigation. |
