- Abstract:

To provide a reference for reasonably using soil water resources in dryland faming on the Loess Plateau, soil water contents in soil profiles of different cropping systems under the condition of 22 years’ continuous application of NP chemical fertilizer on the Loess Plateau were studied. The treatments are wheat succession, pea-wheat(2 a)+millet rotation, sainfoin-wheat(2 a) rotation, pea-wheat(2 a)+maize rotation, maize-wheat(2 a)+millet rotation and wheat(2 a)+millet-maize rotation systems. Soil water contents and water storages in soil profiles(0-300 cm) in six kinds of different cropping systerms were analyzed. The results showed that the distributions of soil water contents in soil profiles were different in the systems. Water contents in 140-300 cm soil layers were lower than those in 0-140 cm soil layers in all treatments. The soil water storages in different soil layers were different in different cropping systems. The soil water storages in 0-300 cm soil layers decreased as the sequence of pea-wheat(2 a)+maize rotation(644.8 mm)>wheat(2 a)+millet-maize rotation(599.6 mm)>pea-wheat(2 a)+millet rotation(582.3 mm)>sainfoin-wheat(2 a) rotation(574.0 mm)>maize-wheat(2 a)+millet rotation(550.8 mm)>wheat succession(536.9 mm). The results also indicate that the soil water storages of rotation systems in 0-300 cm soil layers were more than wheat succession. Therefore, the grain-legume rotation is the better cropping practice on the Loess Plateau.
