Abstract:

To explore the change characteristics of climate resources, the utilization rate of climate resources and the frequency of agrometeorological disasters of different multiple cropping models in the Yellow River irrigation area of Ningxia, and then precisely study the climatic feasibility of the promotion of different multiple cropping models in the Yellow River irrigation area under the background of climate change, so as to provide theoretical support for optimizing the crop layout structure and improving the utilization rate of climate resources in the Yellow River irrigation area, six field crossover experiments of multiple cropping of winter wheat—rice, winter wheat—silage corn, winter herbage—rice, spring wheat—forage barley, forage barley—sunflower and winter herbage—silage corn, were carried out from 2019 to 2020 in Wuzhong City, Ningxia. Based on meteorological data, field experiment data and socio-economic data, the utilization rate of climate resources and the frequency of agrometeorological disasters of various multiple cropping modes were analyzed to explore the climatic feasibility of large-scale extension of different multiple cropping models in the irrigated area of Yellow River in Ningxia. The results showed that the heat resources increased significantly, while the sunshine resources and precipitation resources did not change significantly during 1971 to 2020. The light energy utilization rate and light temperature resources utilization rate of the complex mode were 0.16% and 18.66% higher than the existing single mode, respectively. Combined with the guarantee rate of climate resources and the occurrence frequency of agrometeorological disasters (winter wheat/winter herbage overwintering freezing damage, dry hot air of wheat, low temperature freezing damage of rice, high temperature heat damage/lodging of silage corn), we got the scalability of six multiple cropping models in different regions: winter herbage—rice was suitable for promotion in Helan, Yinchuan, Litong District and Dawukou District, and could be tested in a small range in Huinong, Taole, Yongning, Zhongning, Pingluo and Qingtongxia; winter wheat—rice could be popularized in Litong District and planted in small areas in Qingtongxia, Zhongning, Yongning and Yinchuan; winter wheat—silage corn was suitable for promotion in Litong District, Qingtongxia and Zhongning, and Yongning and Yinchuan could use the model for the choice of “three-ripening system in two years”; spring wheat—forage barley, forage barley—sunflower and winter herbage—silage corn could be popularized in all irrigation area of Yellow River in Ningxia. Climate warming provides favorable conditions for multiple cropping in the irrigated area of Yellow River in Ningxia. The average utilization rate of light energy and light temperature resources of the existing single model is lower than that of the multi-cropping model. The frequency of agrometeorological disasters is different in different regions. Therefore, the multi-cropping model should be promoted according to local conditions to improve the utilization rate of climate resources and the output per unit area.
