Abstract

Rice under drip irrigation with plastic film mulching performances a potential and high productivity in arid and semiarid regions. Capillary configuration mode and irrigation intensity are key factors for high grain yield. To determine optimum capillary configuration mode and irrigation intensity in key growth stages, plot experiments were conducted with two cultivars in 2011 in Shihezi City of northern Xinjiang under various capillary configuration modes and irrigation intensities. The population showed the most uniform growth under one sheet of plastic film mulching (1.6 m wide) with four drip tapes and eight rows of rice (R1), followed by one sheet of plastic film mulching with two drip tapes and eight rows of rice (R2) and one sheet of plastic film mulching with one drip tape and eight rows rice (R3). In the R2 treatment, the rapid growth of rice plants in the row near to the drip tape made up for the slower growth of rice plants in the second row from the drip tape. There were no significant differences in grain yield, water use efficiency, and economic return between the R1 and R2 treatments. However, in the R3 treatment, rice growth and development was seriously reduced throughout the growing season in the two rows farthest from the drip tape (i.e., the third and fourth rows). As a result, grain yield, water use efficiency, and economic return were significantly lower in the R3 treatment than the R1 and R2 treatments across two cultivars and four irrigation intensities. Generally speaking, rice growth and development were significantly improved as irrigation intensity increased under drip irrigation with plastic film mulching. In conclusion, the distance between drip tapes should be in the range of 40-80 cm to obtain high grain yield under drip irrigation in silty loam soil. In addition, the irrigation regime of 11 mm /d was beneficial to growth and development of rice plants before heading, and 20-25 mm /d after heading.
