Abstract:

To determine the suitable improvement measures for heavy saline-alkali soil with clay interlayer in southern Xinjiang, this study took heavy saline-alkali interlayer soil as the research object, and analyzed the effects of different improvement measures on soil salinity and desalination effect under the same winter irrigation quota from 2020 to 2023. The results showed that by the end of winter irrigation in 2023, after three times of winter irrigation, perforated sand irrigation, perforated irrigation, ditching drilling sand irrigation and no-measure treatment were reduced from 11.37, 11.44, 8.81 and 13.50 g/kg to 3.35, 4.47, 1.54 and 7.17 g/kg, respectively. In particular, the rate of deep plowing treatment had decreased from 11.25 g/kg to 1.17 g/kg after four rounds of winter irrigation. Among all the improvement treatments, the desalination rates of deep ploughing and ditching drilling sand irrigation were the highest, which were 89.60% and 82.52%, respectively, while those of other improvement treatments were between 50.08% and 75.91%, while those of no measures and ditching treatments were 51.48% and 47.87%, respectively. The research showed that the improvement measures of deep ploughing, ditching and perforated sand irrigation could effectively reduce the salt content of heavy saline-alkali soil and significantly improve the desalination effect of heavy saline-alkali soil, and could reduce the heavy saline-alkali soil to a low salinity level after three to four winter irrigation. Considering the economic applicability and operability of the improvement measures, it was recommended that the improvement measures of perforated sand irrigation should be adopted for heavy saline-alkali soil with interlayer in this area.
