Identification and Evaluation of the Main Constraints on Cotton Production Within a Collective Drip Irrigation System in Southern Xinjiang, China by Zhanghao Sun, Zhen Wang, Jiusheng Li

“…Excessive irrigation depths (>500 mm) and coarse soil texture (sand content > 70%) were identified as the main constraints, affecting more than 45% of the plant area in the CDIS based on boundary line analysis (a typical analysis method to study the responses between variables) The results from the DISs revealed that the two constraints directly affected the soil moisture and soil inorganic nitrogen in the root zone, which reduced the effectiveness of irrigation and fertilization under drip irrigation. The Structural Equation Model (used to evaluate the causal relationships among multiple variables) revealed that both irrigation depth and soil texture indirectly affect yield by affecting soil inorganic nitrogen and plant N uptake and that soil nitrogen management is critical in resisting yield decline caused by constraints. …”
