While plastic mulching (PM) has been used to alleviate water stress, few studies have examined the traits maize cultivars need to adapt to the altered water environment under PM and achieve high yields. A two-year field experiment was conducted to assess the root characteristics and aboveground growth traits of three widely used high-yielding maize cultivars—Zhengdan 958 (ZD), Huanong 138 (HN), Heboshi 122 (HBS)—under no mulching (NM) and PM conditions. Among the three cultivars, HBS had the highest root system indices—root length density (RLD), root surface area density (RSD), and root biomass—in the topsoil (0–40 cm), followed by ZD and HN under both NM and PM conditions. Under NM, HBS_NM treatment exhibited strong water absorption, improving photosynthesis and yield, making it suitable for drought conditions. Under PM, topsoil moisture increased significantly, with root system indices increasing by 22.5–36.1 % for RLD, 30.2–36.1 % for RSD, and 25.2–36.5 % for root biomass across the cultivars compared to NM. While ZD_PM did not have the highest root system indices under PM, it exhibited higher green leaf area index (4.5–7.5 %), chlorophyll content (2.8–8.6 %), and photosynthetic rate (6.0–14.5 %), resulting in the highest aboveground biomass and yield among the treatments. These findings suggest ZD is better adapted to the enhanced soil moisture under PM. Future research should focus on breeding genotypes that thrive under PM conditions, emphasizing traits such as larger leaf areas and higher photosynthetic rates to boost crop productivity in rainfed areas.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":7634,"journal":{"name":"Agricultural Water Management","volume":"305 ","pages":"Article 109105"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142445134","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, spatiotemporal dynamics of these parameters are essential for precision crop management. Airborne or spaceborne earth observation methods based on vegetation and soil observations have sometimes been used with limited success to indirectly understand parameters like soil salinity. These datasets lack spatiotemporal resolution to discern field-scale heterogeneities, and estimates’ accuracy is poor. A Metropolis-Hasting Markov Chain-Monte Carlo (MCMC) based method was developed to estimate field-scale soil salinity by assimilating estimated evapotranspiration (ET) data obtained from aerial canopy temperature sensing with ET outputs from a one-dimensional soil-water transport model. By aligning the two estimated ET values, we inferred anticipated soil salinity levels in a mature pecan orchard (28,951 m²). Our results aligned closely with in-situ measurements with a spatial cross-correlation more than 0.86 and highlighted the expected heterogeneities and nonlinearities. This research offers an approach to refine the current state-of-the-art crop models by accounting for field scale heterogeneities using remotely sensed data. This assimilation method will pave the way for a more inclusive agricultural system modeling that can infer critical but hard-to-measure soil properties from easier-to-obtain remotely sensed datasets. Though this paper concentrates on aerial observations, we anticipate similar methods can be used for satellite-based imagery, especially those with high spatial, temporal, and spectral resolutions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":7634,"journal":{"name":"Agricultural Water Management","volume":"305 ","pages":"Article 109114"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142445218","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigated the potential for enhancing the sustainability of agricultural production in a modern irrigation and drainage network (TIDN) area and evaluated the network's performance under various strategies. These strategies included mulching, transitioning from traditional to drip irrigation, combining mulching with drip irrigation (IDM), and reducing the crop yield gap. Utilizing 2009–2018 data and the AquaCrop model, which was both calibrated and validated, the green and blue water footprints (GWF and BWF) of dominant crops in the region's cropping pattern were assessed. The crop cultivation was prioritized based on the total and unit unsustainable BWF. The performance of TIDN was evaluated using indicators of reliability, vulnerability, system deficiency, flexibility, and sustainability. The drip irrigation had the most significant impact on reducing BWF, while mulching was more effective in decreasing GWF. The adoption of IDM led to a total annual water savings of 382.4 m³ ha⁻¹. The 10-year average reductions in BWF from May to August ranged from 1.7 to 3.1 MCM, with approximately 88–93 % of these savings attributed to decreased water consumption in rice fields. Mulch, drip, and IDM decreased the BWF by 3.3 %, 9.4 %, and 10.2 %, respectively, compared to current conditions. The study revealed that the expansion of rice cultivation under conventional flooding irrigation was incompatible with the sustainable blue water resources available, and replacing rice with wheat could reduce the unsustainable BWF by 95–100 %. Compared to current conditions, IDM improved network sustainability by 1.2 %, while closing the yield gap improved the indicator by 24 %.

However, the long-term use of traditional plastic mulch has caused environmental concerns due to persistent residues. Biodegradable mulch offers a potential solution to these issues. But little is known about the effects of different residual films on soil hydrothermal properties, and how this ultimately drives maize growth and yield formation. To address this gap, we conducted a two-year field experiment involving low-density polyethylene film (LDPE) and polylactic acid film (PLA), at three residual levels (75 kg ha⁻¹,150 kg ha⁻¹, and 300 kg ha⁻¹), with a control having no residual film. Our findings showed that increased amounts of residual film increased soil bulk density and decreased soil porosity, leading to decreased soil water storage and increased soil temperature. The structure equation model indicated that these deteriorated soil hydrothermal conditions hindered maize root growth, resulting in lower yield and hydrothermal use efficiency. In the second year of this experiment, the film mass density of PLA treatments declined significantly compared to LDPE, leading to fewer adverse effects on soil physical structure, moisture, and temperature. Betters soil hydrothermal environment favor maize biomass accumulation and yield formation. Compared to LDPE treatments, the grain yield, water use efficiency, and soil accumulated temperature use efficiency of PLA treatments increased by an average of 3.98 %, 3.86 %, and 4.42 %. Therefore, we recommend eco-safe PLA mulch as a sustainable alternative to LDPE mulch for maize production in arid and semi-arid areas.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":7634,"journal":{"name":"Agricultural Water Management","volume":"305 ","pages":"Article 109103"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142441202","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Winter wheat is northern China’s biggest agricultural crop, but has a high water demand. The effects of different irrigation methods on water and N fertilizer productivity, crop yield, and root-soil-microbe interactions are not yet unclear. In this study, field experiments were conducted for two consecutive winter wheat seasons using four irrigation methods, namely surface drip irrigation (DI), subsurface drip irrigation (SDI), alternate partial rootzone irrigation (PRI), and flood irrigation (FP). The characteristics of soil conditions, root growth, microbial community structure, and grain yield were all measured, as well as water-to-N-use efficiency. Irrigation type significantly affected root growth, relative water content (RWC) in flag leaves, biomass and N content in stems, and the Shannon and ACE indices of bacteria and fungi. Compared with FP, SDI significantly increased root length, total projected area (TPA), and total surface area (TSA) by 121.1 %, 26.3 %, and 69.6 %, respectively. In contrast, DI significantly increased the weight, natural water content, and RWC of flag leaves by 28.8 %, 28.3 %, and 92.9 %, respectively. As compared to FP, DI increased LAI by 31.3 %, and PRI increased SPAD by 18.6 %. Drip irrigation increased the relative abundances of <em>Actinobacteriota</em> (dominant in bacteria, P&lt;0.05) and <em>Ascomycota</em> (dominant in fungi, P&lt;0.05). Soil moisture and root length were the main contributors that affected soil microbial communities. Correlation analysis revealed that increased moisture levels suppressed bacterial abundance, but improved fungal abundance. Additionally, root length, TPA, and TSA were positively correlated with yield. Unfortunately, the lowest yield was found in PRI during 2021 – 2022 in all treatments. Therefore, SDI improved root growth, the abundance of dominant bacterial communities, wheat yield, and water-N-use efficiency, which all contributed toward reducing irrigation water required for proper application.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":7634,"journal":{"name":"Agricultural Water Management","volume":"305 ","pages":"Article 109102"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142441201","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study addresses the limited research on optimizing these practices in rice-canola rotations, focusing on enhancing sustainability through improved water and nitrogen (N) management.

Key sustainability indicators, including water productivity (WP), nitrogen use efficiency (NUE), and economic productivity, were analyzed. The DSSAT model demonstrated strong predictive accuracy, with yield differences of only 236 kg ha⁻¹ for rice and 121 kg ha⁻¹ for canola between observed and simulated values. A 40 % reduction in water use increased rice yield to a maximum of 5654 kg ha⁻¹ under I3N2 conditions.

The aim of this research is to clarify how water productivity and irrigated area expansion have affected irrigation water consumption and food production using satellite-based evapotranspiration and gross primary productivity data over the past decades. The results clarify the significant contribution of irrigated area expansion to the increase of irrigation water consumption and highlight the importance of water productivity in slowing down the increase of irrigation water.
