Abstract:

In order to explore the mechanism of increasing yield of winter wheat in semiarid rain-fed agricultural area in northwest China, straw strips mulching (MS), plastic film mulching (PM), traditional flat planting without mulching (CK) were established in which MS set up with 58.82%, 50.00%, 41.66% and 37.04% maize straw coverage, and 3 rows (MS3), 4 rows (MS4), 5 rows (MS5), 6 rows (MS6) of winter wheat were planted in the planting zone, respectively for studying the effects of mulching on the water content of wheat plants and flag leaves at grain filling stage and their effects on yield of winter wheat. The results showed that the average yield of MS treatment was 9.05% higher than that of CK with MS5 increasing the maximum yield (10.34%) whereas, PM treatment increased production by 11.42% over CK. At the grain filling stage, MS increased the plant water content (PWC), relative water content of flag leaves (RWC) and rate of water loss from flag leaves in vitro within 12h (RWL12) and 24h (RWL24) were higher than CK with 1.49-2.49 percentage points, 3.29-5.26 percentage points, 7.11-8.19mg/(g?h) and 3.77-4.55mg/(g?h), respectively. Compared with PM, the PWC, RWC, RWL12 and RWL24 of MS increased by 3.24-4.37 percentage points, 5.34-10.46 percentage points, 27.03-28.66mg/(g?h) and 6.67-12.28mg/(g?h), respectively. Comparison between different maize coverage treatments, the increase extents of PWC, RWC, RWL12 and RWL24 compared with CK and PM decreased with the decrease of maize straw coverage. PM treatment increased tiller number, promoted plant vegetative growth and thus increased winter wheat yield, while straw strips mulching increased PWC and RWC at grain filling stage, delayed senescence of functional leaves and then increased grain weight which was one of the reasons for increasing grain yield compared with CK. Under the conditions of straw strip mulching, the yield increase effect of MS5 and PM was similar which was a more suitable cultivation mode.
