This 2-year field study analyzed plastic film mulching (PFM) effects on nitrogen use efficiency (NUE), and soil N pools under rainfed dryland conditions. Compared to no-mulching (NM, control), maize yields under PFM were increased by 36.3% (2515.7 kg ha−1) and 23.9% (1656.1 kg ha−1) in the 2020 and 2021 growing seasons, respectively. The PFM improved (p < 0.01) the water use efficiency (WUE) of maize by 39.6% and 33.8% in the 2020 and 2021 growing seasons, respectively. The 2-year average NUE of maize under the PFM was 40.1, which was 30.1% greater than the NM. The average soil total N, particulate organic N, and microbial biomass N contents under the PFM soil profile were increased by 22.3%, 51.9%, and 35%, respectively, over the two growing seasons. The residual 15N content (%TN) in soil total N pool was significantly higher (p < 0.05) under the PFM treatment. Our results suggest that PFM could increase maize productivity and sustainability of rainfed dryland faming systems by improving WUE, NUE, and soil N pools.
这项为期两年的田间研究分析了雨养旱地条件下塑料薄膜覆盖(PFM)对氮素利用效率(NUE)和土壤氮库的影响。与不覆盖(NM,对照)相比,2020年和2021年生长季,PFM处理下玉米产量分别提高了36.3%(2515.7公斤/公顷)和23.9%(1656.1公斤/公顷)。PFM分别在2020年和2021年生长季将玉米水分利用效率(WUE)提高了39.6%和33.8%(p<0.01)。PFM处理下玉米两年平均NUE为40.1,比NM高30.1%。在两个生长季中,PFM土壤剖面下的土壤总氮、颗粒有机氮和微生物生物量氮平均含量分别增加了22.3%、51.9%和35%。PFM处理下土壤总氮库中的残留15N含量(%TN)显著更高(p<0.05)。我们的结果表明,PFM可以通过提高WUE、NUE和土壤氮库来提高雨养旱地耕作系统的玉米生产力和可持续性。
