    The use of nitrogen fertilizer on saline alkali soil should not only focus on economic benefits,but also the effect of nitrogen fertilizer on saline alkali soil. In order to study the infiltration parameters between nitrogen application and saline alkali soil,a 1D vertical saline soil column infiltration test is conducted with different nitrogen application ( 0,300,600,900 mg /L) and different soil salt content ( 0.3%,0.9%, 1.2%) . The results show that nitrogen application on the saline alkali soil reduces the infiltration; with the increase of nitrogen application, the infiltration parameters trend of 0.3% and 0.9% saline alkali soil is up-down-up; when nitrogen application is 600 mg /L,the infiltration property is the best,too high or too low nitrogen application will lower the infiltration property of alkaline soil; with the same nitrogen application,the soil infiltration property of salt content 0.3% is the best,and the soil infiltration property of salt content 1.2% is the worst. The research results can provide guidance for rational nitrogen application based on the conditions of crop growth in saline alkali soil of Xinjiang

    Using“Jingxiu”watermelon as the test material,based on the weighing lysimeter,the evapotranspiration law of the autumn mini -watermelon in the greenhouse and its correlation with the environmental factors were studied. The aim was to provide the basis for precision irrigation of greenhouse autumn watermelon. The results show that the evapotranspiration of mini-watermelon is 114.79 mm in the whole growth period,and the average daily evapotranspiration is 1.11 mm/d. The autumn mini-watermelon in the greenhouse shows a small change in the early stage,medium to large stage,and late stage. Among them,the daily evapotranspiration at the seedling stage,vine extension stage,flowering fruit setting stage,fruit expansion stage and maturity stage are 1.04,1.20,1.34,1.08,0.81 mm/d,respectively. The environmental factors significantly affect the change of evapotranspiration of the watermelon in the autumn harvest. Photosynthetically active radiation,solar radiation,saturation difference,maximum temperature,average temperature,and minimum temperature are all significantly positively correlated with the daily evapotranspiration of watermelon. The correlation coefficients are 0.813,0.777,0.742,0.618,0.434,and 0.290,respectively. The relative humidity is significantly negatively correlated with the daily evapotranspiration of watermelon,with a correlation coefficient of -0.517. An empirical model for the daily evapotranspiration of watermelon seeds based on photosynthetically active radiation,solar radiation,and relative humidity is established. After an R2 of 0.706 is verified,the daily evapotranspiration of the autumn mini-watermelon in the greenhouse can be estimated.

    In order to study the effects of soil catalase activity (CAT) and tomato growth on soil CO2 emission under the condition of aerated irrigation, an experiment was conducted by using the static closed chamber/gas chromatography method from April to July, 2017. The experiment adopted two treatments: aerated irrigation (AI) and traditional subsurface drip irrigation (CK). Soil CO2 flux, CAT, soil water-filled pore space (WFPS), soil temperature and plant height of tomato were measured simultaneously. The results indicated that throughout the whole growth stage of tomato, soil CO2 fluxes showed a first increasing then decreasing under the two treatments, and soil catalase activity presented a fluctuating change and reached the maximum value at the end of tomato growing period. Compared to CK, AI increased cumulative soil CO2 emissions by 2.4%, but the treatment effect was not significant (P>0.05). AI promoted tomato growth, increased CAT and soil temperature, while decreased WFPS, but the differences between the two treatments did not reach a significant level (P>0.05). Positive correlations between soil CO2 fluxes with CAT, soil temperature and plant height were observed (P>0.05). Significant negative relationships among soil CO2 fluxes and WFPS were reported (P<0.01)

    In order to provide theoretical support for the sand-mixing system of water storage and fertilizer conservation in arid and semi-arid areas, the experiment used artificial simulation of rainfall indoor to study the effects of sand mixed rate on soil water infiltration and redistribution under inadequate water supply. The soil cylinder incubation treatments were setup including 0 (Control), 25%, 50%, 75% of sand mixing rate. Research indicates: (1)The treatment of sand mixed can speed up the process of wet front movement. The higher the sand mixed rate, the more obvious the effect, and the greater the effect when the sand mixed rate is more than 25%.(2) The higher the sand mixed rate, the smaller the water content in the soil of sand mixed, The greater the water content and the better the water retention below the soil of sand mixed. Sand mixing rate of more than 50% can achieve better water retention .When the sand mixing rate is 75%, the soil moisture content at the depth of 30 cm is increased by about 40% compared with the soil without sand mixing. (3) When the sand mixed rate is 75%, the soil moisture content is the highest at 15 cm depth, and the soil moisture retention is the best at 30 cm depth during the redistribution phase. So when the sand mixed with a higher rate, the best aquifer is 15 ~ 30 cm. It provides continuous water supply for plant growth.

    Abstract:In order to further explore the influence of different coating widths on soil moisture and soil temperature of cotton, the soil temperature at 0-25cm and the soil moisture at 0-100cm were measured for the two growing widths of cotton. The results show that the super wide film (2.05m) is narrow (1.4m) effect is more significant; the trend of the diurnal variation of soil temperature under the condition of different width of film is similar to that of the 5cm soil surface temperature was affected by atmospheric temperature, and lag effect weakened with the increase in soil depth. At the late growth stage of cotton, the average temperature of 5-25cm soil was very narrow and the membrane width was 0.1-1.1. Soil moisture content is negatively correlated with soil temperature at different growth stages of 25cm, and when soil moisture content is low, soil temperature is high, under the condition of super wide membrane, the correlation was higher than that of the narrow membrane. The super wide membrane mulching improved the water and heat conditions of the soil, and accelerated the growth and development of crops. For the cotton planting in the North Xinjiang, the use of super wide film mulching has a yield increase of 13.7% per hectare. The research results can provide a scientific basis for cotton production in North Xinjiang.

    In order to explore the effect of the technology of drip irrigation with trenching and coating on soil temperature change during grape growth period,this paper analyzes the temperature variation of 0 ~ 100 cm soil layer inside and outside the membrane under different drip irrigation water volume and different trenching modes according to the field experiment conducted in 2016. The variance analysis method is used to compare the significant differences in temperature between the soil layers inside and outside the membrane under different irrigation volumes and different trenching modes. The results show that the fluctuation trend of temperature of each soil layer is consistent with the trend of atmospheric temperature,and the influence of atmospheric temperature is weakened with the increase of soil depth,regardless of whether the soil temperature in the membrane or the soil temperature outside the membrane is between 14 ℃ and 33 ℃ . Through variance analysis, it is found that the effect of drip irrigation on the temperature of 0 ~ 60 cm in the membrane and 0 ~ 40 cm in the membrane is significant. Compared with the low-irrigation treatment,the high-irrigation treatment reduces the soil temperature of the 0 ~ 20 cm soil layer in the membrane by 2.9 ℃,and increases the soil temperature of the 20~ 40 cm and 40~ 60 cm soil layers in the membrane by 1.8 ℃ and 0.36 ℃, respectively. Outside the membrane,compared with low - irrigation treatment,the medium and high irrigation treatments increase the temperature of 0~ 20 cm soil layer by 0.95 ℃ and 1.26 ℃,respectively,and increase the soil temperature of 20~ 40 cm soil layer by about 1 ℃ . The effect of the trenching mode on the temperature inside the membrane and the temperature outside the membrane is not significant. Appropriately increasing the width of the trench can slightly increase the soil temperature inside and outside the membrane.

    In order to analyze the influence of different salinity and dripper flow on soil wetting body,the experiments of drip irrigation under the conditions of different salinity ( 0,1.7,3,4,5 g /L) and different dripper flow ( 7,9,11 mL/min) were carried out in this paper. The results show that the wetting front of drip irrigation with different emitter discharge and different brackish water salinity is similar in shape, which is 1 /4 ellipse,and the wetting front increases with time; the greater the emitter discharge,the quicker the horizontal wetting front advances; with the increase of salinity,the maximum advancing distance of the horizontal wetting front decreases first and then increases, and the maximum advancing distance of the vertical wetting front increases first and then decreases; the wetting front of soil with different salinity and dripper flow can be fitted with elliptical equation. On the basis of analyzing the influence of salinity,dropper flow and time on the parameters A and B,the dynamic change model of soil wetting front in drip irrigation under the coupling condition of salty water salinity and dripper flow is established. Then the experimental data are used to verify the results. The results show that the MAE and RMSE of the training set model are 0. 390 and 0. 549,respectively; the MAE and RMSE of the validation set model are 0. 438 and 0. 635,respectively. This indicates that the model has higher calculation accuracy and can be used for the dynamic simulation of drip irrigation soil wetting under the coupling of brackish water salinity and dripper flow.

    Accurate assessment of reference crop evapotranspiration (ET0) in Southwest China is of great significance for crop water consumption analysis, crop productivity potential assessment and regional water resources management. This paper applies the meteorological data in the Southwest of China for nearly 56 years, the ET0 in Southwest China is calculated by FAO-56 Penman-Monteith model. The characteristics and trends of ET0 and associated meteorological factors in the Southwest of China for nearly 56 years were analyzed by Mann-Kendall detection, change trend analysis and contribution rate based on the sensitivity coefficient. The results show that the values of ET0 in spring, summer, autumn and winter in the Southwest of China in the past 56 years are 314.71mm, 345.78mm, 219.13mm and 169.51mm respectively; The climatic tendency was 0.850mm/(10a), -2.841mm/(10a), 0.571mm/(10a) and 1.125mm/(10a), in which the spring and autumn ET0 showed no significant trend, and the ET0 showed a very significant downward trend in summer (P<0.01), and a significant upward trend in winter (P<0.01). The relative humidity, sunshine duration and wind speed showed a downward trend in the four seasons, and the temperature showed an upward trend, in which the relative humidity showed a very significant downward trend (P<0.01), and the minimum temperature showed a very significant upward trend (P<0.01). In spring, relative humidity contributed the most to ET0, which was 5.23%; in summer, sunshine duration contributed the most to ET0, which was -7.49%; in autumn, the maximum temperature contributed the most to ET0, which was 3.94%; The minimum temperature in winter contributed the most to ET0, which was 6.69%, followed by the average temperature of 6.57%. Therefore, in the past 56 years, the main reasons for the rise of ET0 in spring, autumn and winter in the Southwest of China are lower relative humidity, higher maximum temperature, higher minimum temperature and higher average temperature, respectively; The main reason for the decline of ET0 in summer is the reduction of sunshine duration.

    Normalized Difference Vegetation Index ( NDVI) is an important tool for assessing crop growth condition and has been widely used in agriculture field. It is a vegetation index based on the high absorption rate of red light and high reflectance of near-infrared light. And it has been found to be dynamic at different times in a day because of crop itself and environmental factors,so the accurate determination of NDVI is difficult. To explore daily changes of NDVI at main growth stages of winter wheat,the winter wheat canopy reflectances in the 656 and 770 nm wavelengths were obtained by Greenseeker to compute NDVI. The data were obtained in successive hours at reviving stage, jointing stage,and heading stage,respectively. The study proves that the winter wheat canopy NDVI values are dynamic in different periods of a day; the NDVI data demonstrates clear parabolic shaped diurnal variations; it decreases gradually from 8 ∶ 00AM,and reaches to its minimum at 13 ∶ 00PM or 14 ∶ 00PM followed by a rapid increase in the afternoon. In order to describe the variations of the daily NDVI values,the quadratic polynomial regression,Gauss function and Sine function was used to fit the normalized NDVI daily variation curve respectively. Before fitting,a normalization processing for the original data was made to limit the data in the same range,which was convenient for the compare of different models. In significance test,the selected models were all statistically significant ( P<0.01) in the three growing stages of winter wheat. And the three models had the best fitting effect in the jointing period with the coefficient of determination ( R2 ) all above 0.9. But the quadratic polynomial model expressed better stability than the other two models. Then the predicted and measured values were compared and the best fitting model was found by root mean square error ( RMSE) and mean absolute error( MAE) . The results show that all three models have good fitting effects,however,the prediction precision of quadratic polynomial model is the best with the RMSE of 0.212,0.213 and 0.187,and MAE of 0.165,0.162 and 0.142 in the three stages of reviving,jointing and heading,and the other two models show almost the same prediction accuracy. This study can provide a reference for the future study of the NDVI daily change process and NDVI accurate monitoring of winter wheat.

    In order to determine the effect of increased production of peanut covered with plastic film in the Guanzhong area and the appropriate amount of nitrogen applied to peanuts under plastic film,the two ways of none coating with film ( W0) and coating with film ( W1) were set and combined with six nitrogen application rates,including N0 ( 0 kg /hm2 ) ,N2 ( 60 kg /hm2 ) ,N4 ( 120 kg /hm2 ) ,N6 ( 180 kg /hm2 ) ,N8 ( 240 kg /hm2 ) ,and N10 ( 300 kg /hm2 ) . The above-ground dry matter accumulation,agronomic traits,yield,water consumption,and water use efficiency of peanuts under different filming conditions were studied. The results show that the treatment with the film ( W1) has significantly higher production than that with the non-film ( W0) treated peanuts,and the yield is increased by 17.3% to 24.8% under different nitrogen application rates; at the same time,the water use efficiency of the peanuts can also be improved about 16.1% ~ 22.9%. In addition,the peanut yield,water use efficiency,and nitrogen application rate show a significant parabolic trend; at the nitrogen application level of N0~N4,it increases first with the increase of nitrogen application rate,while for N6~N10,it decreases with the increase of nitrogen application rate; at the level of nitrogen application N4,both reach the maximum. Therefore,when the amount of nitrogen applied under the covered with film conditions is 120 kg /hm2 ,the W1N4 treatment in this experiment is a suitable planting and nitrogen application strategy for peanuts in the Guanzhong area. Compared with the W0N0 treatment,the yield and water use efficiency is increased the most, 47.2% and 47.8%,respectively

    According to the fact that a large number of old irrigation districts in China still cannot equipped with fixed water flow metering facilities at present, this paper suggests the storage capacity method to measure the water intake in the irrigation area. The differences of water volume between the storage capacity method and the trapezoid thin-plate weir method as well as the electromagnetic flowmeter method were compared in the U-type anti-seepage canal, rectangular-type anti-seepage canal, trapezoid-type anti-seepage canal and trapezoidal soil canal. The results showed that there was no significant difference in water volume in the storage capacity method compared with the other two methods, and the water volume of the pumping stations measured by the U-type anti-seepage canals, rectangular-type anti-seepage canals, trapezoid-type anti-seepage canals and trapezoidal soil canals were 0.146 to 0.164m3·s-1, 0.105 to 0.121m3·s-1, 0.124 to 0.142m3·s-1 and 0.083 to 0.101m3·s-1, respectively. And the deviation were -2.77% ~ -2.79%, 0.49% ~ -0.72%, -3.90% ~ -2.46% and -5.42% ~ -6.31%, respectively, and the relative deviation were all lower than that of the field test, which was 0.19% ~ 1.48%.As a water volume measurement technology, the storage capacity method is convenient and reliable and may be used in irrigation area widely.

Finally,the information in the cloud server is displayed by different clients to realize human-computer interaction. The results demonstrate that the system can cover more than 92% of the communication area of a mountain orchard with an area of 20 hectares in direct connection mode. Compared with the ZigBee communication method,the system saves a large number of relay nodes. Because of its long-distance communication characteristics,the communication node can be arranged with more possibilities.
