Plastic film-bottomed treatment (FBT) is a critical agricultural practice in arid regions, aimed at enhancing crop productivity by improving soil moisture retention and nutrient availability. However, the effects of different depths (DFBT) on nitrogen (N) absorption translocation spring wheat remain inadequately understood. We conducted field experiment sandy to investigate DFBT (60, 70, 80, 90, 100 cm) total N amount (TNAA), (TNTA) all nutritive organs, grain content (GN), yield (GY). Morphological measurements included GY, GN, TNAA, TNTA stem, sheath, leaf, spike axis, kernel husk (SAKH), culm. The results showed that FBT significantly reduced loss, with cm depth reducing leakage 59.6% (p < 0.001). At flowering stage, derived from fertilizer (NDF) (NDS) were higher 80 maturity, (TNAA) main stem across organs under 0.001), leading improved use efficiency. correlation between GN was strongest Grain (GY) optimized intermediate depths, particularly cm, suggesting this provides an optimal balance water drainage These findings underscore importance optimizing depth, achieve enhanced retention, efficient utilization, systems.

Subsoiling tillage breaks up the shallow plow layer and thickened pan resulting from prolonged crop rotation, thus enhancing soil environment fostering growth. However, these changes in practices are not accompanied by corresponding advancements irrigation technology. Therefore, this study compared drip (DI) micro-sprinkler (MS) with three watering levels (H, M, L) based on water content (70%, 60%, 50% of field capacity) against traditional surface (CK, 70%FC) to find most suitable approach for subsoiling wheat fields. This found that adjusting methods regimes significantly impacted growth yield. Drip boosts winter grain yield, harvest index, biomass transfer amount, rate, nitrogen accumulation, use efficiency, index methods. irrigation, notably DI-M treatment, enhances yield 28.7% CK. produced optimal results when decreased 60% capacity. suggests adopting a combination DI, initiated at capacity, enhanced production resource efficiency.
