Abstract:
      To research water consumption characteristics and dry matter accumulation and distribution for high yielding winter wheat in North Xinjiang, four drip irrigation amount treatments, i.e. W1(2 550, 2 325 m3·hm-2), W2(3 450, 3 000 m3·hm-2), W3(4 350, 3 675 m3·hm-2), and W4(5 250, 4 350 m3·hm-2), were applied in 2013—2014 and 2014—2015 years. We measured the leaf area index, photosynthetic potential, dry matter accumulation, and moisture contents at 0~140 cm soil layers. The results showed that increase in drip water amount improved moisture contents mainly at the 0~60 cm soil layers, while reduced the storage consumption of 60~140 cm soil layers with a range of 225~900 m3·hm-2 from booting and filling stage. The consumption of W4 was reduced by about 50% compared with W1, from booting and maturity stages. Increase in yield was not significant when total drip water amount being above 3 675 m3·hm-2. The effect of precipitation was very small on winter wheat yield, but irrigation amount played a decisive role in the yield and WUE of winter wheat. The proposed drip water amount was 3 450~3 675 m3·hm-2 for the whole growth period of winter wheat in North Xinjiang, with a yield level of 6 737.4~8 604.1 kg·hm-2.
