Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Low-pressure sprinkler irrigation significantly decreased soil compaction.
- Intervention effect Low-pressure sprinkler irrigation increased soil urease activity after flowering.
- Intervention effect Sprinkler irrigation concentrated soil nitrate and ammonium nitrogen in the 0-60 cm root zone and prevented further nutrient leakage.
- Intervention effect Sprinkler irrigation significantly decreased peak ammonia volatilization rate compared with flooding irrigation.
- Intervention effect Sprinkler irrigation significantly decreased total ammonia volatilization compared with flooding irrigation.
- Intervention effect Sprinkler irrigation increased nitrogen content in wheat leaves, sheaths and stems.
- Intervention effect Sprinkler irrigation increased nitrogen transport rate in wheat leaves, sheaths and stems.
- Intervention effect Sprinkler irrigation increased wheat water-use efficiency.
- Intervention effect Sprinkler irrigation increased wheat nitrogen-use efficiency.
- Intervention effect A 15% reduction in water application produced the highest grain yield and water and nitrogen-use efficiency, with the least water and fertilizer nitrogen losses.
