Abstract

【Objective】Drip-irrigated rice with plastic film mulch (DI-PFM) is a rice cultivation technique with both high yield and water-saving potential. However, DI-PFM rice on calcareous soil often exhibits Fe-chlorosis symptoms. Previous studies found that the inhibitory intensity of HCO3 on Fe uptake of DI-PFM rice was weaker than that of flooding irrigation rice, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. The effects of HCO3 on soil DTPA-Fe concentration, xylem sap pH, Fe absorption and distribution of two kinds of irrigated rice were studied. 【Methods】The experiment included two irrigation methods [flooding irrigation (FI) and DI-PFM] and four HCO3 concentrations (0, 2, 10 and 40 mmol/L HCO3, were expressed as BC-0, BC-2, BC-10 and BC-40, respectively) of irrigation water. 【Results】The concentration of soil DTPA-Fe in DI-PFM was significantly lower than that in FI. With the increase of HCO3 concentration, soil pH increased, while soil DTPA-Fe concentration decreased. Xylem sap pH of rice increased with the increase of HCO3 concentration in irrigation water, and the xylem sap pH of FI rice was significantly higher than that of DI-PFM. With the increase of HCO3 concentration, the apoplast Fe concentration in rice leaves and roots decreased at low HCO3 level and increased at high HCO3 level, and peaked under BC-40 treatment. The leaf active Fe concentration, symplastic Fe concentration, rice biomass and total Fe accumulation of two kinds of irrigated rice decreased with the increase of HCO3 concentration, but the decrease of these parameters under DI-PFM treatment were less than that of FI. The concentration ratio of symplastic Fe to apoplast Fe in rice roots and leaves decreased with the increase of HCO3 concentration, and the concentration ratio of symplastic Fe to apoplast Fe in rice roots and leaves in FI was higher than that of DI-PFM. 【Conclusion】The increased pH in xylem sap of rice caused by HCO3 affected the absorption and utilization of Fe in rice, but HCO3 was not the main factor leading to Fe deficiency in DI-PFM rice. The main reason for Fe deficiency of DI-PFM rice on calcareous soil may still be due to the low availability of soil Fe.
