Abstract:

Spring wheat is one of the main crops in Gansu Province, and its plant growth and yield changes are of great significance for ensuring the food security of the local area and even northwest China. APSIM-Wheat crop model has high accuracy and adaptability in simulating wheat growth, development and yield, which can provide production basis and decision support for agricultural producers and decision makers. In order to explore the coupling effects of sowing date and nitrogen application rate on spring wheat yield and biomass in dryland under future meteorological conditions, this study verified the applicability of APSIM-Wheat model based on the meteorological data, soil data and management data, along with spring wheat yield and biomass data from field experiment conducted in the experimental area of Longzhong, Gansu Province, from 2013 to 2018. The results showed that the NRMSE of spring wheat simulated yield and biomass were both less than 8%, and the ME were both greater than 0.8, indicating that the models had high accuracy and applicability. Based on the 2025-2100 meteorological data of the study area under the prediction of two typical concentration paths of CMIP5, RCP4.5 and RCP8.5, the simulation scenarios of sowing date and nitrogen gradient change: early sowing (3rd, March), normal sowing (18th, March) and late sowing (31st, March) were set, which were represented by ESW, NSW and LSW, respectively. Nitrogen application rates were set as five gradients (0, 52.5, 105, 157.5 and 210 kg/ha). Finally, the meteorological data under two climate scenarios and verified APSIM-Wheat model were used to simulate spring wheat yield and biomass under different experimental conditions. The results showed that under the two future climate scenarios of RCP4.5 and RCP8.5, the yield and biomass of spring wheat were ESW > NSW > LSW. The coefficient of variation and regression equations of spring wheat yield under different experimental conditions were analyzed comprehensively. Spring wheat in the research area should be planted with 157.5 kg/ha nitrogen in early March in order to consistently provide a high and steady yield of spring wheat under future warm and humid conditions in Northwest China.
