- Abstract
Different from the traditional deep tillage, deep vertical rotary tillage can smash deep soil without disturbing the soil layer, which improves soil water infiltration and promotes salt leaching. This has gradually been applied in the research into saline alkali improvements. However, there is limited knowledge about the effect of deep vertical rotary tillage on the temporal–spatial distributions of soil water and salt under the shallow underground water level. Therefore, a preliminary soil column experiment was carried out to explore the results of water and salt movement under three different tillage methods: traditional rotary tillage depth of 20 cm (XG−20), deep vertical rotary tillage depth of 20 cm (FL−20) and deep vertical rotary tillage depth of 40 cm (FL−40). The temporal–spatial variation in soil water and salt was analyzed. The results showed that the average infiltration rate of FL−40 increased by 1.25 and 0.46 cm h−1 in 0−40 cm soil layer compared with that of XG−20 and FL−20. At the same time, soil water content was also increased, and the order of soil water content was FL−40 > FL−20 > XG−20. With the increase in tillage depth, the desalinization rate and the soil electric conductivity (EC) of FL−40 were increased and decreased, respectively. The FL−40 treatment's average desalinization rates increased by 16.32% and 13.99% compared with XG−20 and FL−20 treatments' in 0−60 cm soil layer. In conclusion, FL−40 had a better effect on regulating water and salt. The deep vertical rotary tillage provided an effective method for the control and optimization of water and salt in coastal saline soil.
