Abstract:

To investigate the irrigation effects and applicability of slight saline water on natural production conditions of Ziziphus jujuba‘Dongzao’,a three-year field experiment on irrigation water salinity was conducted in Zhanhua District,Binzhou City from 2020 to 2022. The experimental variety was Ziziphus jujuba‘Zhandong 2’,with five salinity levels[1(the control),2,3,4,and 5 g · L-1]set for irrigation water. The study revealed the effects of irrigation mineralization on the physiological characteristics,growth,yield and fruit quality of‘Dongzao’jujube. The results indicated that,physiologically,the peak values of relative chlorophyll content,net photosynthetic rate,transpiration rate,dark respiration rate,and apparent quantum efficiency in leaves occurred at salinity levels of 3 or 4 g · L-1,and these values were significantly higher compared to the 1 g · L-1 treatment. For the 5 g · L-1 treatment,relative chlorophyll content,net photosynthetic rate,transpiration rate,apparent quantum efficiency,initial fluorescence,and maximum quantum yield of PSⅡ decreased significantly compared to the 3 or 4 g · L-1 treatments,while maximum fluorescence increased significantly. Regarding quality,as irrigation water salinity increases,the content of soluble sugars,total soluble solids,titratable acidity,and vitamin C content significantly increased,with the best quality observed under the 4 g · L-1 treatment. Correlation analysis revealed that jujube hanging length and the maximum quantum yield of PSII were the main factors affecting yield. Based on a random algorithm,the importance ranking of physiological indicators influencing fruit quality indicated that maximum net photosynthetic rate,apparent quantum efficiency,dark respiration rate,and maximum fluorescence were the primary factors influencing fruit quality. Analysis of soil salt balance after the three-year irrigation cycle showed that 3 or 4 g · L-1 treatments had potential risks of soil salt accumulation. In‘Zhandong 2’orchards in Binzhou,Shandong,fruits can resist salt stress by adjusting its own photosynthetic and fluorescence characteristics,maintaining normal growth,and promoting quality treated with 2-3 g · L-1 slightly saline water.
