Abstract:Aiming to inspect the water use-related situation in the Heihe River Basin, we used a three-stage data envelopment analysis to examine agricultural water use efficiency (WUE) and related issues in the Heihe River Basin from 2004 to 2012. This method calculates technical efficiency (TE), pure technical efficiency (PTE), and scale efficiency (SE). Results show that water use-related efficiency varies according to scale. TE and SE decreased in the study area, while PTE increased. This means that the effects of pure technology on improving overall technology are very limited, and scale adjustment is vitally important to the agricultural production area in the Heihe River Basin. The results provide recommendations for decision-makers to plan the efficient use of water resources in arid and semiarid areas; in addition, this method will contribute to calculations of water use-related efficiency.

BACKGROUND Monolepta hieroglyphica (Motschulsky) is a primary pest of maize. The effect of dimethoate on controlling a M. hieroglyphica infestation was studied using drip irrigation. Field trials were conducted to determine the most effective application rate and water volume for dimethoate treatment in arid and semi‐arid regions. The absorption, distribution and dissipation of dimethoate in maize and soil were examined. RESULTS Field trials showed that dimethoate at a rate of 2.70 kg a.i. ha−1 and water volume of 200 m3 ha−1 was the most effective treatment for controlling M. hieroglyphica. Dimethoate via drip irrigation showed longer persistence than dimethoate applied via artificial or unmanned air vehicle spraying. Different parts of the maize plant had a hysteresis effect on dimethoate absorption. Dimethoate was absorbed from the roots, transported upward, and enriched in the leaf. Dimethoate was mainly concentrated within a certain range near the emitter after drip irrigation. Terminal residues of dimethoate in maize grain were below detectable levels 42 days after treatment. CONCLUSIONS Dimethoate treatment via drip irrigation can control M. hieroglyphica infestation on maize. Results showed that dimethoate is safe for maize and the environment. This study provides guidance for the application of pesticides in arid and semi‐arid areas. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry

“…The average precipitation during the winter wheat growing season (October-June) in this area is approximately 117 mm, which is less than the water requirements for achieving maximum grain yield and water use efficiency (WUE) for winter wheat. Irrigation is thus critical for maintaining high wheat production (Chen et al 2015). Traditional high-yielding irrigation strategies are usually based on the full water requirements at different growth stages in winter wheat.…”

To improve efficiency in the use of water resources in water-limited environments such as the North China Plain (NCP), where winter wheat is a major and groundwater-consuming crop, the application of water-saving irrigation strategies must be considered as a method for the sustainable development of water resources. The initial objective of this study was to evaluate and validate the ability of the CERES-Wheat model simulation to predict the winter wheat grain yield, biomass yield and water use efficiency (WUE) responses to different irrigation management methods in the NCP. The results from evaluation and validation analyses were compared to observed data from 8 field experiments, and the results indicated that the model can accurately predict these parameters. The modified CERES-Wheat model was then used to simulate the development and growth of winter wheat under different irrigation treatments ranging from rainfed to four irrigation applications (full irrigation) using historical weather data from crop seasons over 33 years (1981-2014). The data were classified into three types according to seasonal precipitation: <100 mm, between 100-140 mm, and >140 mm. Our results showed that the grain and biomass yield, harvest index (HI) and WUE responses to irrigation management were influenced by precipitation among years, whereby yield increased with higher precipitation. Scenario simulation analysis also showed that two irrigation applications of 75 mm each at the jointing stage and anthesis stage (T3) resulted in the highest grain yield and WUE among the irrigation treatments. Meanwhile, productivity in this treatment remained stable through different precipitation levels among years. One irrigation at the jointing stage (T1) improved grain yield compared to the rainfed treatment and resulted in yield values near those of T3, especially when precipitation was higher. These results indicate that T3 is the most suitable irrigation strategy under variable precipitation regimes for stable yield of winter wheat with maximum water savings in the NCP. The application of one irrigation at the jointing stage may also serve as an alternative irrigation strategy for further reducing irrigation for sustainable water resources management in this area.
