Abstract:
      To elucidate the current production status of flax and the comprehensive effect of the intercropping system, and water and fertilizer on crop growth and yield formation, a field experiment was implemented to study the effects of water and fertilizer coupling on nitrogen content, and grain yield of flax in flax/soybean system in northwest China. The results indicated that the stem nitrogen content under 150 kg·hm-2 fertilizer treatment was 10.05%~23.58% higher than that under 75 kg·hm-2 and 225 kg·hm-2 treatments. The treatment with 150 kg·hm-2 fertilizer and irrigation two or three times could promote nitrogen content in root and stem at seeding, budding, kernel and maturity stages, resulting in 4.13% more nitrogen content than that with 75 kg·hm-2 fertilizer and irrigation once. The influences of water, nitrogen fertilizer and water/fertilizer coupling on nitrogen content in roots, stem, leaf and grain were in the following order: water and fertilizer coupling>nitrogen fertilizer>water. Nitrogen contents in root, stem and peel were significantly positively correlated with seed production under the water/fertilizer coupling condition. The linolenic acid content of oil flax with 150 kg·hm-2 fertilizer and two times irrigations was 9.22% higher than that with 75 kg·hm-2 fertilizer and one time irrigation at a significant level. It is concluded that the treatment of 150 kg·hm-2 fertilizer and two or three times irrigation may be a suitable managerial measures for water and fertilizer in the irrigated area along the yellow river.
