The disclosure relates to the field of agricultural planting technologies, particularly to a cultivation technology of cotton crops, and more particularly to a high-efficiency cultivation method for high-frequency drip irrigation, water saving, seedling survival and strengthening, and yield increase of cotton fields in saline-alkali soil.
The area of saline-alkali soil in the world is about 1 billion hectares, accounting for more than ⅓ of the land area, with an annual growth rate of 1-1.5 million hectares. It is estimated that the salinization of cultivated land will reach 50% by 2025. The area of saline-alkali soil in China is about 1 billion mu (fifteen mu is equal to one hectare), and it is widely distributed. There are also potential secondary saline-alkali lands. The most serious areas of China, such as Xinjiang, account for about ⅓ of the saline-alkali land in China, and more than ⅔ of the cultivated land in the whole region of Xinjiang have different degrees of salinization. Planting crops in saline-alkali soil will seriously affect the emergence and survival of seedlings, and ultimately affect the yield and quality of crops. If the saline-alkali land can be improved, especially the saline-alkali in the existing cultivated land, and the harm of saline-alkali to crops can be reduced, the agricultural development will have a larger growth space.
Cotton is not only an important field economic crop, but also an important strategic material, which plays an important role in national economy and national security of China. Cotton is a saline-alkali tolerant crop, which can survive in light and moderate saline-alkali environment, usually within 0.5%, and its saline-alkali tolerance is different at different growth periods. The greater the cotton is, the stronger the saline-alkali tolerance (resistance) is. If the emergence rate and rate of strengthen seedling are improved by certain measures at the time of emergence and seedling, the tolerance (resistance) of cotton to saline-alkali is enhanced after the bud stage, and there is still a high yield. In order to promote the seedling formation of cotton in saline-alkali soil, the irrigation before sowing of cotton in most cultivated land mostly adopts the way of irrigation in autumn and winter of last year or spring irrigation in spring of next year, which consumes a lot of agricultural water, resulting in the shortage of agricultural water in spring. There are also problems such as incapability of flexibly mastering the sowing period, poor seedling emergence of cotton seedlings after sowing, the easy return of salt in the soil to harm seedling formation, the leaching of soil nutrients, the increase of manpower and material investment and the like. Therefore, it is necessary to innovate the corresponding cultivation technology of water-saving, seedling emergence and survival of seedlings in saline-alkali land in production to alleviate the above problems in the prior art.
A purpose of the disclosure is to provide a cultivation method for saving water, protecting seedlings and increasing yield of cotton in saline-alkali soil (also referred to as saline-alkali land), solving the defects of the prior art such as large water consumption, slow emergence, low emergence rate, and low survival rate of seedlings of cotton field in saline-alkali soil, which improves the soil microenvironment, land preparation quality and sowing quality of the cotton field of saline-alkali soil, saving irrigation water, increases seedling emergence rate and survival rate of seedlings, improves the saline-alkali resistance of cotton seedlings, and improves the yield, so as to achieve the purpose of high-efficiency cultivation of cotton planting in saline-alkali soil with water-saving and high survival rate of seedlings.

In an embodiment, specific operations of the intertillage are as follows: a tillage depth of a first intertillage is in a range of 10-12 cm, and a seedling protection zone is 10 cm; after the first intertillage, the tillage depth is increased by 3-5 cm each time until the tillage depth is increased to 22 cm, the seedling protection zone is kept at about 8 cm. Generally, 4-5 times of the intertillage are carried out.
Compared with the prior art, the disclosure has the following beneficial effects.
(1) The traditional method of planting cotton in saline-alkali land is irrigation in autumn and winter or spring before sowing, and the irrigation amount per mu is about 150-200 m3. Before irrigation, it is necessary to make ridges of field, and after irrigation, it is necessary to demolish and level the ridges of field. The method of the disclosure does not carry out irrigation in autumn and winter or spring before sowing, which saves nearly ⅓ of water consumption, there is also no need to make, demolish and level the ridges of field, thus reducing the investment of manpower and material resources such as artificial irrigation, ridge making and the like before sowing.
(2) The traditional method of land preparation before cotton planting in saline-alkali soil is to plow the soil at a plow depth of more than 28 cm per year without subsoiling, and the quality of land preparation reaches the standard of “flat, moisture, broken, clean, neat and loose”. The land preparation method before sowing of the disclosure is to plow the soil with a plow depth is more than 28 cm per year, the subsoiling is conducted once every 3-5 years with a subsoiling depth of 35-50 cm, and the quality of the land preparation reaches the standard of “flat, broken, clean, neat and solid”. The subsoiling process is added, the plow bottom of the soil is broken, and the internal environment of the saline-alkali soil is improved. The quality of land preparation has removed the standard of “moisture and loose” and added the standard of “solid”, which not only prolongs the suitable sowing period, but also overcomes the phenomenon of slow emergence, and incomplete and uneven emergence caused by different sowing depths.
(3) The traditional cotton field configuration mode in saline-alkali soil is one film with six rows, spacing configuration with a wide row spacing 66 cm and a narrow row spacing 10 cm, 9.5 cm plant spacing (also referred to as hole spacing), single or multiple seed precision sowing, the spacing of narrow rows is relatively narrow, and the seeder is duck-mouth-like shaped that is easy to puncture the drip irrigation capillary tubes. The method of the disclosure has six rows per film, one plant per hole, spacing configuration with a wide row spacing 63 cm and a narrow row spacing 13 cm, or a wide row spacing 64 cm and a narrow row spacing 12 cm, 9.5-10 cm of a hole spacing within each row, and an average row spacing of 38 cm, which does not affect the mechanical harvesting, increases the narrow row spacing, provides a large space for the drip irrigation capillary tubes to be arranged in the middle, and also avoids the phenomenon that the drip irrigation capillary tubes are easily punctured by the duck-mouth-like shaped seeder due to the spacing of narrow rows is relatively narrow.
(4) The traditional method of tube laying in cotton planting in saline-alkali soil is one film with six rows, one tube for every two rows of seed rows, and narrow rows of the seed rows in the film are laid with the tube in the middle or side; or one tube for every three rows of seed rows and one drip irrigation tube is arranged between the wide rows of the seed rows. However, the direction of the dripper of each drip irrigation capillary tube towards the seed row is different in different methods of tube laying. Although the drip irrigation capillary tube is laid in the center of the narrow row, the dripper is not strictly laid in the center, the water and fertilizer stay unevenly, and the length of cotton seedlings in six rows is inconsistent, which is difficult to manage and affects the final yield. In the method of the disclosure, the drip irrigation capillary tubes are laid under the film. Each of the drip irrigation capillary tubes is laid in the middle of two rows of seed rows, with the dripper facing the center. If the dripper of the drip irrigation capillary tube is disposed on one side of the tube, the dripper faces downward and faces the outer row, if the dripper is in the middle of the tube, the dripper faces upward and directly faces the center. Three drip irrigation capillary tubes in one film can ensure the quality of drip irrigation capillary tubes and sufficient water consumption. The position of the dripper is in the center, the distance from each row of seed rows is consistent, the water and fertilizer stay evenly, the utilization rate is high, the water and fertilizer consumption is reduced by about 1/10, the seeds germinate quickly, the seedlings emerge quickly and uniformly, the growth of each row after seedling emergence is consistent, the management is easy, and the yield can be improved.
(5) The traditional irrigation methods for cotton planting in saline-alkali soil include broad irrigation of 150-200 m3/mu after harvest or before sowing, no irrigation during the sowing stage and seedling stage until early June water irrigation is carried out, or performing dry seeding and wet emergence with once drip irrigation after sowing and before seedling emergence, 25-35 m3/mu, no irrigation at the seedling stage until early June the water irrigation is carried out. In the high frequency drip irrigation method of the disclosure, irrigation is not carried out before sowing, the water for seedling emergence is dripped once within 48 hours after sowing, rainy weather is avoided, and the water volume is 10-20 m3/mu (less than 10 m3/mu for cohesive saline-alkali soil, about 12 m3/mu for loamy saline-alkali soil, and about 15 m3/mu for sandy saline-alkali soil). If there is saline-alkali return phenomenon in the seed hole after 5-6 days of the drip irrigation, the water for seedling emergence is dripped with the same water volume as above for 1-2 times. 5-7 days after the emergence of seedlings, the water for the survival of seedlings is dripped once with the water volume of 10-15 m3/mu (less than 10 m3/mu for cohesive saline-alkali soil, about 12 m3/mu for loamy saline-alkali soil, and more than 15 m3/mu for sandy saline-alkali soil). After another 5-7 days, the water is dripped again with the same water volume as above. The water volume can be increased and drip irrigation times can be increased 1-2 times according to the specific situation, until the water irrigation is prepared in early June, and thus the water for seedling survival of is dripped 2-3 times. The water is dripped for 3-5 times before the formal water irrigation (i.e., broad irrigation), the water for seedling emergence is increased for one time, and the water for the seedling survival is increased for 2-3 times. The total water consumption is 40-60 m3/mu, and the water is saved by 90-140 m3/mu relative to broad irrigation.
(6) The traditional fertilization process of cotton planting in saline-alkali soil before budding (i.e., before water irrigation) includes applying bottom fertilizer or no fertilizer before sowing, no fertilizer for autumn and spring irrigation or dripping water for seedling emergence, or applying a small amount of fertilizer such as urea, and it is not until the beginning of June that a large amount of fertilization is applied after the water irrigation is prepared. In the method of the disclosure, the fertilizer is applied with water before budding. 3-5 kg/mu of saline-alkali soil amendment is added when the water for seedling emergence is dripped for 1-2 times, 3-5 kg/mu of the saline-alkali soil amendment (e.g., Jiandifeng compound fertilizer) is added when the water for seedling survival is dripped for 2-3 times with 0.5-2 kg/mu of potassium dihydrogen phosphate and 100-200 g/mu of zinc fertilizer. The saline-alkali soil amendments are added to the drip before and after seedling emergence, and phosphorus, potassium and zinc fertilizers are added after seedling emergence, which improves the soil saline-alkali environment and increases soil fertility after seedling emergence.
(7) In traditional cotton planting in saline-alkali soil, there is no intertillage or a small amount of 1-2 times of intertillage at seedling stage, the depth is about 15 cm, and there is no pressure-proof device for intertillage drip irrigation regions. In the method of the disclosure, during the seedling stage, the intertillage is carried out after the seedling rows are presented, and the intertillage is also carried out timely after rain and at low temperature. The intertillage is carried out 3-4 times after sowing and before budding, with a depth of 10-22 cm. In order to prevent damaging the straight drip irrigation tubes, the anti-pressure arched steel plate is carried with the machine, which increases the number of times of intertillage by 1-2 times and reduces the rolling loss of drip irrigation regions by intertillage.
Compared with the prior art, the cultivation method provided by the disclosure effectively solves many defects of the prior art, improves the microenvironment of saline-alkali soil, the quality of land preparation, the quality of cotton seeding, saves irrigation water, speeds up the seedling emergence, increases the seedling emergence rate, and improves the seedling survival rate, so as to achieve the goal of high-efficiency cultivation of saline-alkali soil cotton fields with water saving, rapid emergence and seedling strengthening, and high seedling survival rate.
