AI Technical Summary
In drip-irrigated farmland, as the planting years increase, the salinity of deep soil gradually increases, leading to a greater risk of salinization. Existing technologies are insufficient to achieve salinity balance and prevent secondary soil salinization.
By constructing capillary channels in arid farmland, using drip irrigation under mulch on ridges to wash away salt, laying mulch in furrows, and filling in highly water-conducting organic materials and multi-layered cotton fiber materials, a continuous capillary channel is formed. After the salt accumulation reaches equilibrium, it is periodically removed. Combined with the interannual cycle of furrow-ridge exchange and winter irrigation, the lateral flow and periodic recovery of salt are achieved.
It effectively reduces the accumulation of deep salt in farmland, improves water and salt regulation capacity, desalinates and enriches the soil year by year, reduces the risk of salinization, and improves the effect of saline-alkali soil improvement in farmland.

Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the field of saline-alkali soil improvement, and particularly relates to a method for moving salt and improving soil by constructing capillary channels in a drip-irrigated farmland under a film in a dry region. BACKGROUND
[0002] Xinjiang is an important agricultural reclamation area in China. The water and soil development and oasis construction in the area have played a great leading role, promoted the development of production, and pushed the social progress. In particular, since the emergence of the drip irrigation technology under the film in 1996, the technology has been rapidly developed and widely applied in Xinjiang due to its effects of temperature increase, soil conservation, water saving, and salt suppression, thereby providing important technical support for water saving and yield increase of irrigated agriculture. However, with the extension of the planting period under the drip irrigation technology under the film, the soil salt content in the 40-80 cm depth of the cultivated layer has a gradually increasing trend, which has caused 31.1% of the existing cultivated land to be damaged by salinization, thereby increasing the potential risk of salinization in the oasis. How to achieve the salt balance of the drip-irrigated farmland under the film and prevent the occurrence of secondary salinization of the soil has become a problem to be solved at present.
[0003] Soil water is the carrier of soil salt transport. Under the condition of drip irrigation, with the infiltration of water, the water flow can bring salt into the edge of the wetting front, so that the soil salt is transported in the three-dimensional space. The continuous dripping of water under the drip irrigation technology gradually pushes the water in a pulse mode. In the case of large drip head flow, the soil water under the film is saturated too fast, so that the lateral movement of water and salt is faster than the downward movement, thereby forming the lateral seepage of salt water to the space between the films for salt washing. However, it is not difficult to find that the spatial distribution of soil water and salt at the field scale under the drip irrigation technology under the film has obvious heterogeneity compared with other irrigation methods. The salt in the space between the films and the 40-60 cm soil layer is a strong accumulation area.
[0004] Cotton fiber material, grass charcoal, straw inner microtubule cellulose, and lignin are the strongest materials for capillary phenomenon in nature. The continuous capillary channels are constructed by using these natural materials in the farmland, the salt is enriched in the cotton fiber layer with a raised shape, and then the salt is removed, which is a fast and environmentally friendly method for reducing salt and improving soil in the farmland. After the agricultural experiments in Hongqi Farm of the Third Agricultural Division and Karamay, the research group has summarized the method for moving salt and improving soil by constructing capillary channels, which is suitable for the light and moderate saline-alkali farmland in the dry region, and can improve the water and salt regulation capacity at the field scale under water-saving irrigation, and enrich the technology and theoretical system for improving saline-alkali soil.
