The plant–water relationship of maize under conservation practices needs to be assessed to quantify the effectiveness of the practices in conserving soil water for crop production. This study evaluated in three trials how straw and plastic film mulching and organic manure application could potentially change water fluxes in the root zone and increase maize yield. A mathematical model HYDRUS-1D was calibrated against the observed soil water content and drainage data to predict the water fluxes in the root zone soil. The model simulated soil water dynamics in the root zone with satisfactory performance (RMSE of 0.6–2.3%, CD of 0.37–1.41, NSE of 0.18–0.88, and R2 of 0.62–0.91) during both the calibration and validation periods. The model predicted the observed drainage in a lysimeter with only a 5.5–11.7% bias and actual evapotranspiration (ETc) with a 2.6–6.7% bias for the control conditions in all three trials when the model was provided with measured plant growth, soil properties, and weather data. Both measurement and modeling confirmed that mulching augmented soil water storage by reducing ETc, i.e., 0.24–0.37 mm d-1 by straw mulching and 0.05–0.24 mm d-1 by plastic mulching during the trials. Manure application did not affect the ETc rate and resulted in the highest grain yield (6.8–8.3 Mg ha˗1) followed by plastic mulching (6.1–8.1 Mg ha˗1) and straw mulching (5.3–7.5 Mg ha˗1). Manure application increased the harvest index by optimally allocating biomass because of a steady supply of water and nutrients. The straw mulch, plastic mulch, and manure treatments increased grain yield by 13%, 24%, and 35%, respectively, compared to the control condition. Large-scale implementation of these practices would lessen blue water scarcity in agriculture. |
