- Intervention effect Wheat yield was significantly reduced by 16.3% under saline irrigation.
- Intervention effect Wheat water productivity was significantly reduced by 13.7% under saline irrigation.
- Mechanism Salt stress primarily inhibited photosynthetic rate, which reduced leaf area index and plant height, ultimately restricting spike number and yield and constraining water productivity.
- Observation A salinity threshold of 5 g/L was identified, beyond which declines in yield and water productivity became severe.
- Intervention effect Alternate saline and freshwater irrigation increased spike number by 7.4%.
- Intervention effect Alternate saline and freshwater irrigation increased yield by 5.9%.
- Intervention effect Alternate saline and freshwater irrigation increased water productivity by 13.1%.
- Intervention effect Straw returning increased spike number by 11.3%.
- Intervention effect Straw returning increased yield by 12.3%.
- Intervention effect Straw returning increased water productivity by 12.5%.
