Effect of salinity water irrigation on maize growth in northwest region

Abstract

Because of the scarcity of water resources and serious environment, it becomes much more emergence to develop the water saving agriculture. Drip irrigation and straw mulch both at home and abroad were wide studied. However, How to utilize saline water reasonably, scientificly, efficiently and safely has always been a core problem in farmland irrigation using saline water. Based on the relative research about salinity water irrigation, this paper studied on the effect of different salinity water irrigation and soil salt contents on maize growth in a plastic bucket experiment in Yonggu village, Ningxia shizuishan city of Ningxia located in Yellow River Irrigation district. The main results are as follows, showed that the salinity water had much greater effect on maize emergence rate than that of soil initial salt content. With the increase of irrigation water salinity and soil initial salt content, the maize height all decreased. Under the same soil saline content, the mineralization of water had much greater effect on maize emergence rate than that of soil initial salt content, moreover, with the increase of saline content, the difference become more obviously. Though the salinity water can reduce the production of maize, it is still be helpful to the growth of maize comparing to no irrigation.
