The impact of tillage practices on daytime CO2 fluxes, evapotranspiration (ET), and water-use efficiency in peanut
FRONTIERS IN AGRONOMY(2023)
摘要
Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) growers use different tillage systems in the Southeastern United States, the impact of which needs to be assessed with regard to evapotranspiration (ET), carbon uptake, and water-use efficiency (WUE). The eddy-covariance method was used to measure these fluxes in peanut in two common tillage systems (strip tillage vs. conventional tillage) over the course of three consecutive growing seasons (2019-2021). Results suggest that during the dry year of 2019 with rainfall of only 30 cm, strip tillage peanut had a significantly higher daytime ecosystem WUE, 105%, 51%, and 32% higher than that of the conventional tillage in early, mid, and late growth stages, respectively. In 2020, with mean rainfall the overall difference in average WUE was nonsignificant between the tillage systems. Heavy rainfall of 112 cm in 2021 led to waterlogged conditions in the conventional tillage field due to poorer infiltration. This likely reduced the CO2 uptake. Waterlogging did not occur in the strip tillage field due to improved infiltration. As a result, in 2021, 18%, 33%, and 48% greater ecosystem WUE in strip tillage during early, mid, and later stages was found. Thus, this study suggests that strip tillage fields can achieve higher net CO2 uptake and WUE in Georgia during dry or very wet years. However, no difference in WUE was found between different tillage systems in a typical year with average rainfall for Georgia. The present study has implications for regions characterized by long growing seasons and low rainfall.
