Abstract:
      This study aims to study the effects of planting pattern and nitrogen rate on the farmland microclimate, and indentify possible ways to improve the yield of winter wheat. The field experiment was conducted with a randomized complete block design with three replicates. The two planting patterns were: (1) 30 cm uniform row planting pattern (U), and (2) 20 cm+40 cm furrow planting pattern (F). Three nitrogen rate treatments applied as N0 (0 kg·hm-2), N1 (112.5 kg·hm-2), and N2 (225 kg·hm-2) during the whole growth period. Results showed that F decreased the soil temperature (0~15 cm) by 0.4℃ and air temperature (5, 50 cm) by 0.3℃ and 0.5℃ respectively, and increasedthe air humidity by 2.8% and 3.1% respectively, thus reducing the soil evaporation intensity by 9.9%. In the filling stage, Fevidently increased the diurnal photosynthetic active radiation capture ratio by 13.5% in the upper layer. The grain yield of F was significantly higher than that of U under N1 (P<0.05). The farmland microclimate has been improved with the increase of nitrogen rate, but the extent gradually decreased. Under the condition of F, the yield of N1 was significantly higher than that of N0(P<0.05), but with no significant difference between N1 and N2(P>0.05). Therefore, combination of F and 112.5 kg·hm-2 nitrogen rate was the optimum practices for winter wheat production from perspective of grain yield and fertilizer application amount.
