Abstract:
      In the arid and semiarid areas of northwest China, the land, light and heat resources are relatively rich but water resource is much short. Water is the main limiting factor in exploring the productive potential of light and temperature in these areas. In order to realize highly efficient agricultural production and sustainable development, it is essential to raise the use efficiency of water resource according to the water requirement and water-stress response of crops in different growing stages. By using DSSAT model, the productive potential of winter wheat in different hydrological years in Yangli ng, Shaanxi Province was simulated, the effects of irrigation in different stages on yield, WUE and soil evaporation were analyzed, and the key irrigation periods were determined. Furthermore, the optimal irrigation schedule of winter wheat in different hydrological years was made by considering yield, WUE, total irrigation amount and irrigation times comprehensively. The results showed: (1) A mong the four times of irrigation during the growing period of winter wheat, revival water was most critical, next was jointing water, and winter water and grain filling water were the last. When there was no revival water, the yield and transpiration of winter wheat were decreased significantly, and the soil evaporation was increased significantly. (2) There were also remarkable differences among different hydrological years. The yield, WUE and crop transpiration in wet years were slightly higher than those in normal years, and both of them were significantly higher than those in dry years. As for the marginal benefit of irrigation, different hydrological years were ranked as: normal years>dry years>wet years. (3) The optimal irrigation schedule of winter wheat in different hydrological years was: 75 mm of revival water and 50 mm of jointing water in dry years, 75 mm of revival water in normal years, and 25 mm of revival water and 25 mm of jointing water in wet years.
