Optimizing Phosphatic Fertilizer Drip Timing to Improve Cotton Yield in Saline–Alkali Soil and Mitigate Phosphorus–Calcium Binding Risks

Agronomy, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 15(1), С. 138 - 138

Опубликована: Янв. 8, 2025

To improve cotton yield in salinized arid fields, excess salt is removed and phosphorus content increased. Adjusting phosphate fertilizer timing with water reduces binding calcium ions. Salt removal precedes application, enhancing soil availability promoting better growth. However, the optimal time for delaying drip irrigation remains unclear. Therefore, this study evaluated total salt, available phosphorus, under condition of delayed application. We conducted a field experiment using completely randomized design to adjust phosphatic application apply same amount pure phosphorus. Specifically, “t” was defined as duration one cycle, starting points were follows: T1, 1 h; T2, h + 1/3 t T3, 2/3 CK, h. These values represent leaching through each treatment. Phosphate applied after washing complete. The results revealed that T2 treatment exhibited highest SPAD value (64.53), which 11.46% 15.48% higher than T1 T3 treatments. 0–20 20–40 cm layers had pH 9.12 9.37, representing increases 1.93%, 1.21%, 4.50%, 1.38% compared treatments, respectively (p < 0.05). At bud stage, Olsen-P 82.86% 26.53% achieved 6492.09 kg/hm2, 31.47%, 31.53%, 2.77% CK. Overall, increased reduced adsorption ions soil. This provides an effective technical approach sustainable development fields Xinjiang.

Efficient use of scarce water resources to maximize yield and crop productivity (WPc) is a common goal sustainable ecological agriculture in the North China Plain. To clarify whether light frequent (LF) irrigation under same or reduced amount beneficial achieve this goal, further tap saving potential. Based on drip conditions, three–year (2020–2023) field experiment was conducted investigate effect four treatments (CK, conventional at jointing anthesis stages; LF1, 100 % ETc, ETc evapotranspiration; LF2, 75 LF3, 50 ETc) yield, consumption characteristics, leaf photosynthetic physiology grain filling process. The results showed that compared with CK, LF1 LF2 significantly increased rate chlorophyll content flag leaves 18 days after anthesis, promoted filling, finally enhanced dry matter accumulation 1000–grain weight (TGW) yield. LF management mode also deep soil (1.4–2.0 m), evapotranspiration, improved WPc productivity. However, did not have significant enhancement wet year, but had one less than normal year. achieved highest three years (2.1 kg m–3), 25 (37.5 mm) 40 (60 years, respectively. Meanwhile, LF3 treatment number spikes, TGW different degrees resulting lower yields (13.9 %–18.4 %), which cannot be used as reference for an efficient system. Therefore, based best strategy improve utilization
