Water scarcity has increasingly become a critical challenge for the sustainable development of Chinese agriculture. Investigating eco-efficiency China’s grain production (ECGP) through water footprint (WF) lens is essential gaining deeper insights into current state and promoting agricultural practices. In this paper, CROPWAT model was used to measure provinces, evaluate ECGP with food function based on WF, explore main influencing factors ECGP. The study found that (1) green (WFGPgreen) dominates WFGP in China, shows an overall fluctuating growth trend. contrast, gray (WFGPgrey) begins decline after reaching peak, especially implementation “Zero Growth Action Plan Fertilizers Pesticides,” significantly reducing WFGP. three phases change ECGP, namely, “high-level period, adjustment period trough, rebound stabilization period,” show China gradually shifted from initial high inputs low efficiencies oriented toward varies among seven major regions northeastern region being area production, probably mainly due its more centralized pattern production.

Crop yield and water use efficiency in response to long-term diversified crop rotations

Frontiers in Plant Science, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 13

Опубликована: Окт. 7, 2022

Crop production and water productivity may be impacted by diverse crop rotation management practices. A field study was conducted from 2017-2020 in the Loess Plateau to evaluate effects of sequences on pre-planting post-harvest soil storage (SWS), annualized yield, use, productivity. Crops included oil flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) (F), wheat (Triticum aestivum (W), potato (Solanum tuberosum (P). Twelve 4-year-cycle treatments, along with a continuous treatment as baseline, were included. The results showed that average content under 0-150 cm layer all treatments increased after one cycle, PWFW achieved highest SWC (17.1%).

Benefits through Innovative Cropping Patterns in the Hilly Regions of Southwest China: An Integrated Assessment of Emergy and Economic Returns

Agronomy, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 13(10), С. 2640 - 2640

Опубликована: Окт. 19, 2023

Optimizing Cropping patterns is important for the improvement of regional agricultural economic efficiency and sustainable development. However, there are few studies on sustainability cropping in hilly areas. Here, we studied four new three-maturing a typical ecological site areas southwest China. An analytical method combining evaluation energy value analysis was used to evaluate compare model traditional model. We explored construction three-crop suitable area improve benefits production production. To solve above problems, constructed eight classified them as follows: The Traditional Double System: T1, oilseed rape-summer soybean; T2, maize; T3, wheat-summer maize. Triple T4, wheat/spring maize/summer soybean. Novel T5, forage rape-spring T6, maize/peanut; T7, potato-spring T8, results study showed that compared with System System, increased yield by an average 100.39% 49.18%, capacity 71.32% 36.48%, biological 12.53% 4.90%, 13.59% 5.80%. were significantly improved, profits CNY 9068 ·hm−2 7533 System. further revealed characteristics high input output inputs 6.56% 4.25%, outputs 13.69% 4.27% respectively. This level stems mainly from significant increase labor inputs. Meanwhile, energy-value indicator shows its lower dependence natural resources, greater intensification, system stability. As result, higher capacity. In summary, this can provide theoretical basis optimizing promoting high-yield development agriculture.

Diversified crop rotations improve crop water use and subsequent cereal crop yield through soil moisture compensation

Agricultural Water Management, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 294, С. 108721 - 108721

Опубликована: Фев. 14, 2024

The water-intensive conventional winter wheat–summer maize (WM) double cropping system in the North China Plain (NCP) has significantly decreased groundwater table. To address this issue, we undertook a two-year field experiment to explore potential and mechanisms of water-saving yield increase five newly designed diversified crop rotations incorporating spring crops (sweet potato, soybean, peanut, maize, millet) into cereal compared with WM (as control). results revealed that annual actual evapotranspiration by 7–12% net use 21–31% WM. Sweet potato peanut-based enhanced average equivalent yields up 32% economic benefit (+50%, +7%) while improving water productivity 24–68% Shallow-rooted millet), when used as preceding crop, improved soil storage 0–180 cm layer at start succeeding wheat planting season 3–9% These shallow-rooted mainly concentrated their root systems 0–120 water, particularly top 80 cm, complementing deeper wheat, which extended down 180 cm. Consequently, optimal regime increased leaf area index aboveground biomass crops, increasing total grain 4–11%. Thus, introducing shallowed-root current rotation is beneficial for decreasing irrigation inputs, enhancing overall productivity, mitigating table decline NCP.
