Assessing water-nitrogen use, crop growth and economic benefits for maize in upper Yellow River basin: Feasibility analysis for border and drip irrigation

Agricultural Water Management, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 295, P. 108771 - 108771

Published: March 14, 2024

Water-saving irrigation is becoming more important in the upper Yellow River basin (YRB) due to reduced water allocation and growing scarcity. However, drip as an efficient method, has not gained much acceptance one might expect. In this study, integrated approaches involving field experiments, agro-ecosystem modeling, financial analysis were proposed evaluate multiple benefits of two methods. Field experiments on maize irrigated with border under plastic mulching (i.e., BI-M DI-M) conducted Hetao Irrigation District (Hetao) YRB during 2021 2022. The AHC model was calibrated validated using two-year experimental data, performing well simulations soil water-salt-nitrogen (N) dynamics crop growth. An scheduling module newly incorporated into AHC. Then applied analyze scenarios consisting three classes groundwater depth (GWD) five N application levels. Optimal N-fertilization strategies suggested; DI-M showed significant advantages over terms water-saving (56–66 mm), labor-saving, environmental (50 kg ha−1 less fertilizer 19–25 loss), yields (<4%), both scenario cases. revealed that current smallholder could achieve higher net returns (about 12%) compared DI-M, since family labor often counted a cost farming. Additionally, widespread adoption also partly attributed its easy operation. Lastly, results indicated trend where would become future, increasing agricultural population aging rising costs YRB.

Water productivity in pineapple (Ananas comosus) cultivation using plastic film to reduce evaporation and percolation

Agricultural Water Management, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 296, P. 108785 - 108785

Published: March 27, 2024

Irrigated agriculture needs significant amounts of water for increasing irrigated areas to meet the increase food demand. New alternatives with high use efficiency are needed crop productivity. This work evaluates plastic film mulch either as groundcover or a percolation barrier yields and pineapple (Ananas comosus L.). An experiment was carried out on loamy sand-soil. The treatments were: (i) soil tillage combined installed at 0.40 m below surface; (ii) no barrier; (iii) only; (iv) without barrier. maintained levels availability least 80% during cycle, while it values ranged from 15% 70%. Groundcover contributed significantly decrease evapotranspiration medium coefficient. yielded better results productivity, irrigation footprint. mean productivity footprint were 667.12 kg mm−1 ha−1 109.0 L kg−1, respectively, more effective saving than yield. 92–103 kg−1 when ground cover.

Residual films (RFs) disrupt the normal migration and distribution of water, salts nutrients in soil, posing a significant threat to sustainable development agriculture food security. The effect complexity RF on soil water-salt crop growth result conflicting findings previous studies. Systematic quantitative exploration thresholds is great significanse. Focusing influence agriculture, this study conducted meta-analysis 44 peer-reviewed studies using 1514 moisture data points, 568 salt 312 yield points. results showed: reduced by 2.62 %, decreased 11.72 increased salinity 4.09 %. These adverse effects were exacerbated environments with an average annual evapotranspiration (AAE) > 1800 mm, precipitation (AAP) < 500 temperature (AAT) 10°C. Although degradable film (DF) outperformed ordinary ones, no difference was observed between RFs varying thicknesses (p 0.05). levels 0 225 kg·ha

Evaluating the Impact of Traditional and Biodegradable Mulch Film Residues on Heavy Metal Dynamics and Maize Productivity: Insights from Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Community Analysis

Agronomy, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 15(4), P. 780 - 780

Published: March 22, 2025

Microplastics and heavy metals (HMs) in soil pose significant environmental health risks, yet the interactions between mulch film residues HMs, their effects on maize productivity, remain poorly understood. This study examined impacts of long-term traditional polyethylene (TMF) biodegradable (BMF) properties, root accumulation arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) community, productivity under open field conditions. TMF significantly increased total carbon (TC), C/N ratio, bioaccumulation coefficients (BACs) arsenic (As) cadmium (Cd) while lowering pH water content. These changes altered AMF colonization enriched Paraglomus genus, leading to enhanced leaf antioxidant activity reduced chlorophyll content, although growth was not statistically affected. In contrast, they improved nutrient availability (e.g., nitrogen phosphorus), TC pH. Notably, BMF decreased BACs As Cd, spore density without altering community structure, ultimately biomass. were associated with BMF’s ability lower chelate thereby mitigating bioavailability promoting plant growth. Furthermore, abundance species, particularly from Claroideoglomus facilitated metal chelation HM plants. The findings underscore potential for co-remediation microplastics highlighting importance mulching strategies sustainable agriculture.
