“…The soil water storage in the soil profile (0–60 cm) for the RFP and FP treatments was calculated using the following equations (Zhang et al, 2013):

SW = true \sum_{i = 1}^{n} θ_{i} \times Z_{i} + θ_{X} \times Z_{X} \times 0.78 \times 0.5

for RFP treatments;

SW = true \sum_{i = 1}^{n} θ_{i} \times Z_{i}

for FP treatment, where SW is the soil water storage in the profile (mm), Z i is the i th soil layer depth (mm), θ x is the soil water content inside a ridge (m 3 m −3 ), Z x is the height of a ridge 15 cm, 0.78 is the shape factor of the ridge, and 0.5 is the ratio of the ridge area to the total field area.…”

“…It is an important way to improve and stabilize corn ( Zea mays L.) production in semiarid environments (Ren et al, 2008a). Zhang et al (2013) showed that RFP with plastic‐mulched ridges would be recommended in Siberian wild rye production for achieving relatively high forage yield and WUE in northern China. Jia et al (2006) and Li et al (2007) showed that the forage yield and WUE of alfalfa in northwestern China were increased by RFP.…”

Ridge and furrow planting (RFP) is a rainwater harvesting system that improves the yield and water use e ciency (WUE) of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) and other crops. Field experiments were performed to study the e ects of RFP under non-or singleirrigated (NI and SI) alfalfa production on yield, WUE, evapotranspiration (ET), soil water, and forage growth from 2010 to 2011. ree planting treatments were used, at bed, bare ridge, and plastic mulch ridge in the NI and SI elds that were referred to as FPNI, BRNI, and MRNI; and FPSI, BRSI, and MRSI, respectively. For the NI eld, BRNI and MRNI signi cantly increased the total forage yield in the 2 yr combined by 14 and 53%; and WUE by 17 and 74% compared with FPNI, respectively. e MRNI signi cantly increased the 2-yr combined yield by 34% and WUE by 55% compared with BRNI. ere were no signi cant di erences in the ET over the 2 yr among the three treatments. For the SI eld, BRSI and MRSI signi cantly increased the total forage yield over the 2 yr by 53 and 107%; and WUE by 54 and 120% compared with FPSI, respectively. e MRSI signi cantly increased the yield over the 2 yr by 34% and WUE by 44% compared with BRNI. Only the ET value from the MRSI treatment was signi cantly lower than that from the FPSI or BRSI. erefore, MRSI could improve the yield and WUE in alfalfa, with MRNI another option under rain-fed conditions. ).Abbreviations: BR, bare ridge planting; BRNI, bare ridge planting for nonirrigation; BRSI, bare ridge planting with single irrigation; CC, canopy cover; CSW, critical soil water storage; ET, evapotranspiration; FC, fi eld capacity; FP, fl at bed planting; FPNI, fl at bed planting for non-irrigation; FPSI, fl at bed planting with single irrigation; MR, plastic mulch on ridge planting; MRNI, plastic mulch on ridge planting for non-irrigation; MRSI, plastic mulch on ridge planting with single irrigation; NI, non-irrigated; RFP, ridge and furrow planting; SI, single irrigated: TDR, time domain refl ectometry; VPD, vapor pressure defi cit; WP, wilting point; WUE, water use effi ciency.

Effects of Rainfall Harvesting and Mulching on Corn Yield and Water Use in the Corn Belt of Northeast China

et al. 2014

The Corn Belt of Northeast China is the most important corn production area in China, accounting for 30% of the total corn production. However, seasonal drought conditions limit local corn production. Field experiments were conducted in 2011 and 2012 in Lishu county (Jilin Province, China) to study the effects of ridge and furrow rainfall harvesting and mulching on corn yields, evapotranspiration (ET), and water use efficiency (WUE) in black and aeolian sandy soils. The treatments included flat planting bed (FB), plastic-mulched ridges with bare furrows (RFB), and plastic-mulched ridges with straw-mulched furrows (RFM). For both soil types, the RFB and RFM treatments improved soil water conditions in the root zone. However, adding straw mulch did not consistently improve soil water content. In the black soil, the RFB treatment did not affect crop yield but increased WUE by 13% relative to the FB treatment in 2011. Furthermore, yield and WUE decreased by 30 and 24%, respectively, in 2012. In the aeolian sandy soil, the RFB treatment increased yield and WUE by 26 and 25%, respectively, relative to the FB treatment in 2011. However, the RFB treatment had no effect on yield or WUE in 2012. For both soil types, the RFM treatment did not significantly affect yield or WUE relative to the RFB treatment during 2011 or 2012. Therefore, the RFB treatment should only be used in aeolian sandy soils to achieve higher corn yields and WUEs and not be recommended for black soils when the soil water is sufficient.
