Abstract:<p>Soil quality on irrigated farmland is declining due to intensive agricultural activities and inappropriate agricultural inputs. This study aimed to analyze the effects of agricultural inputs (fertilizer and irrigation input) on soil quality and quantify the relationship between soil quality and resource use and yield formation under two irrigation patterns [border irrigation (BI) and drip irrigation (DI)] in the Hetao Irrigation District of China. We identified nine soil indexes [clay, sand, b… Show more
