Field experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of alternate partial root-zone subsurface drip irrigation (APRSDI) on the physiological responses, yield, and water use efficiency of potato. Compared with conventional drip irrigation (CDI), APRSDI had less negative effects on the potato leaf photosynthesis rate (P(n)), but decreased the transpiration rate and stomatal conductance significantly. The slightly higher P(n) under CDI was at the expense of consuming more water. No significant difference was observed in the potato yield under APRSDI and CDI, but APRSDI saved the irrigation amount by 25.8% and increased the irrigation water use efficiency and total water use efficiency by 27.5% and 15.3%, respectively, suggesting that APRSDI would be a feasible water-saving irrigation technique for the planting of potato.

Microplastic pollution in agricultural soils poses a significant threat to soil quality and environmental sustainability. This study investigated the composition, abundance, distribution, ecological risk, and environmental carrying capacity of microplastic pollution in the Tarim River Basin (TRB), China. The risk quotient combined with soil environmental carrying capacity (SECC) approaches was proposed to evaluate ecological risks and soil sustainability.

Tomato (Jinglu 6335) was selected for assessing the impact of varying fertilizer (F:N-PO-KO) and aeration rates on crop quality, as well as water and fertilizer utilization efficiency during the cyclic aeration subsurface drip irrigation process. Four aeration treatments (O1, O2, O3, and S, representing aeration ratios of 16.25%, 14.

The contradiction between increased irrigation demand and water scarcity in arid regions has become more acute for crops as a result of global climate change. This highlights the urgent need to improve crop water use efficiency. In this study, four irrigation volumes were established for drip-irrigated maize under plastic mulch: 2145 m ha (W1), 2685 m ha (W2), 3360 m ha (W3), and 4200 m ha (W4).

Soil salinization seriously affects the efficiency of crops in absorbing soil nutrients, and the cotton production in southern Xinjiang accounts for more than 60% of China's total. Therefore, it is crucial to monitor the dynamic changes in the salinity of the soil profile in cotton fields in southern Xinjiang, understand the status of soil salinization, and implement effective prevention and control measures. The drip-irrigated cotton fields in Alaer Reclamation Area were taken as the research objects.

Introduction: Accurate diagnosis of the water status of fruit trees is a prerequisite for precise irrigation. Measurement of leaf turgor pressure provides a means to explore the water utilization mechanisms of fruit trees and their responses to water stress. However, there are few studies on the use of daily minimum leaf turgor pressure (Ppmax) to indicate water information in apple tree.
