Abstract

In order to discover the ecological adaptability of different varieties in sand land areas,the pot experiment was conducted in greenhouse to investigate the water consumption features,plant physiological indexes,biological characters,output and water use efficiency(WUE) of three alfalfa varieties(WL-323,Siriver and Guyuan) under different soil moisture conditions.The results showed that the water consumption features of alfalfa at various growing stages changed along with the differences of moisture conditions and varieties;there was a remarkable negative correlativity between plant moisture stress(PMS) and soil moisture content,but the change of chlorophyll content in leaves among different moisture conditions and varieties was not remarkable;the plant height,branch number per plant,total branch length per plant,leaf number per plant,root number per plant,root depth,root collar diameter and dry weight of root of alfalfa tended to increase,but the ratio of root/canopy tended to decrease,along with the rise of soil moisture.Among the tested varieties,WL-323 was characterized with large root system,well-developed canopy,high forage output and high WUE,so its ecological adaptability to sandy soil was optimal;Siriver was characterized with high dry weight of root and high ratio of root/canopy,so its drought-resistance was relatively strong and its output and WUE was moderate;Guyuan was a variety with the lowest ecological adaptability to sandy soil.The results may be helpful to the rational distribution of alfalfa varieties and soil moisture adjustment on sandy land.
