Abstract:

In order to explore a suitable planting mode for water-saving, fertilizer-reducing, quality-improving and yield-increasing of potatoes in the semi-arid area of central Gansu, a field experiment on the regulation of water and nitrogen in potato under mulched drip irrigation was conducted in Gaolan county, Gansu Province, from April to September 2023. Three water deficit gradients were set up: high water [W1, accounting for 65%-75% of field water capacity (FC)], medium water (W2, 55%-65% FC) and low water (W3, 45%-55% FC). Three nitrogen application gradients: high nitrogen (N1, 240 kg/ha), medium nitrogen (N2, 180 kg/ha) and low nitrogen (N3, 120 kg/ha), with high water without fertilization as control (CK), a total of ten treatments. The results showed that the average soil water content of the 0-120 cm soil layer in the potato field treated with W1N2 was the highest. The water consumption, daily water consumption intensity and water-consumption modulus coefficient of potato reached the highest value in the tuber bulking period. Among the treatments, the total water consumption, stage water consumption and daily water consumption intensity of W1N1 reached the highest, followed by W1N2 treatment. Compared with CK treatment, W1N1 significantly was increased by 9.25%, 9.91% and 9.87%, respectively. Under different water and nitrogen regulation, the yield, marketable potato rate and water use efficiency of W1N2 treatment reached the highest, which were significantly increased by 42.17%, 23.88% and 31.24%, respectively, compared with CK treatment. It is evident that high-water combined with medium-fertilizer (W1N2) has a significant effect on with water-saving, soil moisture conservation, quality improvement, and potato yield increase in potato cultivation under varied water and nitrogen management. It is a relatively suitable planting pattern in this region.
