Abstract
Reasonable development and utilization of brackish-water resources can alleviate the pressure of freshwater scarcity in dryland areas and safeguard crop growth, but there are significant differences in brackish-water ions in different regions. Thus, exploring the mechanism of brackish-water irrigation considering brackish-water ionic differences on the growth and development of saline and alkaline dryland crops has an important production guidance value. In this study, the ionic differences in irrigated brackish water were characterized by sodium adsorption ratio using under-membrane drip-irrigated cotton as the research object, and three levels of mineralized irrigation water were designed, which were 3 g·L−1 (T3), 5 g·L−1 (T5), and 7 g·L−1 (T7), respectively. Three different levels of sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) were set under each level of mineralization, which were 10 (mmol·L−1)1/2 (S10), 15 (mmol·L−1)1/2 (S15), and 20 (mmol·L−1)1/2 (S20). The local freshwater irrigation was used as a control treatment. The results showed that brackish-water irrigation increased soil salt accumulation and soil water content, induced oxidative damage and disruption of ionic homeostasis in the cells, and decreased leaf photosynthetic rate. Brackish-water irrigation also significantly reduced dry matter mass by 11.04–50.12%. Reduced irrigation water SAR (S10 and S15) enhanced antioxidant enzyme activities such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), and catalase (CAT), and reduced malondialdehyde (MDA) content by 14.29% and 9.09%, respectively, compared with high irrigation water SAR (S20). Leaf K+ uptake was increased by 5.29% and 1.57% in S10 and S15, respectively, compared with S20, while Na+ uptake was significantly suppressed. The K+/Na+ ratio increased by 45.07%, which resulted in improved leaf photosynthetic efficiency by 25.25% and 11.91%, and significantly enhanced dry matter accumulation by 24.81% and 11.20%, respectively. In addition, compared with T3S20, the T5S10 treatment reduced the irrigation water SAR. It contributed to a significant increase in SOD, POD, and CAT activities by 30.42%, 60.70%, and 99.20%, respectively, and in plant K+ content and K+/Na+ by 2.48% and 38.85%, respectively, although the irrigation water mineralization increased by 66.67%. Reducing SAR could enhance photosynthesis and dry matter accumulation through the dual regulation of “antioxidant damage + ion homeostasis” in salt-stressed cotton, laying a foundation for the realization of stable and high yields of cotton under brackish-water irrigation, and providing a new perspective for the management of brackish-water resources and the sustainable development of agriculture in Xinjiang and other arid regions.
