More Information
    Abstract
  • Objective

    Xinjiang is located in the arid to semi-arid region of China. To conserve water resources, brackish water mulched drip irrigation technology is widely used for cotton cultivation. However, improper use of brackish water can lead to soil salinization. Regions with high cotton root density experience strong water absorption, resulting in soil moisture reduction and excessive salt accumulation, leading to decreased cotton yield. To ensure the soil habitat and cotton yield under brackish water mulched drip irrigation, the influence of cotton root distribution on field water and salt transport should be fully considered.

    Methods

    Based on the field experiments conducted at the cotton fields of the Bayingolin Irrigation Experiment Station in Xinjiang, this study obtains cotton root growth parameters to construct a growth model for cotton roots under brackish water mulched drip irrigation, quantitatively characterizing the spatiotemporal distribution patterns of cotton roots.

    Results

    The study results indicated that: ① The spatial distribution of roots is influenced by soil moisture and salinity. During the budding to flowering stage, roots are more concentrated in the drip irrigation belt and inter-row positions. From the peak flowering to boll-opening stage, roots show significant decline beyond a depth of 50 cm, but develop in the soil depths of 90-130 cm. ② The predicted trend of the three-dimensional growth model of cotton roots is consistent with the actual observations, with MRE (the mean relative error) ranging from 0.2486 to 0.5378, RMSE (the root mean square error) from 2.4127 to 4.8710 cm/cm2, and d (the index of agreement) from 0.7541 to 0.9529. The simulation results overall describe the distribution of cotton root length density (RLD). ③ The three-dimensional simulation of cotton root system takes into account the growth conditions in the field planting environment, achieving a dynamic three-dimensional growth effect. The model can effectively simulate the morphological structure of root system growth and development processes.

    Conclusion

    Based on in-situ dynamic monitoring by minirhizotron technique, CPlantBox can be used to construct the cotton root growth model under brackish water film drip irrigation. The research results lay the foundation for exploring the impact mechanism of spatial-temporal distribution of root morphology on field soil water migration and root zone water and salt distribution. This has important theoretical and practical implications for improving high and stable cotton yield in Xinjiang.
