Abstract:
      The aim of this study was to clarify the impact of various irrigation technical parameters on the uniformity of irrigation in fragrant pear orchards, providing data references and technical support for the implementation of water\|saving technology in Korla balsam pear cultivation. Taking 7-year old Korla young fragrant pear as the research object, set small tube outflow (one row of two tubes) and surface drip irrigation (one row of three tubes and four tubes) to determine the soil moisture content of 0~100 cm. Setting 27 irrigation technical parameters (irrigation amount Q1, Q2, Q3; drip irrigation pipe arrangement D1, D2, D3, drip irrigation pipe spacing S1, S2, S3) combination and using the HYDRUS-2D to simulate the changes in soil moisture within 24 h after irrigation. Optimizing the change of soil moisture technical parameters was achieved by calculating the uniformity of irrigation. The results showed that within 24 h after the completion of the irrigation, soil moisture content gradually increased with the increase of soil layer depth. By comparing the measured and simulated values of soil moisture content, all the RMSE values simulated by the HYDRUS-2D model were greater than 0.01 cm3·cm-3. The NRMSE values were all lower than 20.5%. The MAE values were not greater than 0.02 cm3·cm-3. The NSE values were all higher than 0.65, reaching high simulation accuracy. The results of the above scenario of HYDRUS-2D model showed that the soil moisture content was positively correlated with the amount of irrigation and the number of drip irrigation pipes and a negative correlation with drip irrigation tube spacing. The moisture content of the soil at different depths below the drip irrigation pipe showed a trend of increasing first and then decreasing along with the increasing time. When the drip irrigation pipe was arranged and separated from a certain distance, irrigation amount was negatively correlated with the rate of uniformity of soil moisture distribution. In summary, six treatments (Q1D2S1, Q2D2S1, Q3D2S1, Q1D3S2, Q2D3S2, Q3D3S2) involving one row of three tubes with 30 cm spacing and one row of four tubes with 40 cm spacing resulted in a higher and more uniform concentration area of the balsam pear root system within the moisture distribution. This can provide an important reference for the application of drip irrigation technology to Korla balsam pear.
