摘要: Subsurface drip irrigation is an advanced technique that significantly enhances agricultural water efficiency and conserves irrigation resources. The Heilonggang region is highly representative of the maize-wheat rotation system in China. This region was selected for conducting operations and maintenance experiments on subsurface drip irrigation systems. The primary objective of this study was to determine the most suitable type of drip tape for application in the North China Plain and to identify specific maintenance measures necessary to ensure the long-term functionality of subsurface drip irrigation systems. The experiment was conducted in Jing County, Hengshui City. Anti-blocking drip tape (Netafim Co., Ltd. Beijing, China) with automatic functionality was evenly laid in the test area. The experimental area was divided into six rotational irrigation groups. The key parameter examined in this single-factor experiment was the drip tape wall thickness, with values of 0.2, 0.225, 0.25, 0.28, 0.31, and 0.38 mm. Drip tape treatments were randomly sampled in rotational irrigation groups, and there were three repeat plots in each treatment. Each replicate plot contained ten drip irrigation belts spaced 60 cm apart, with an interval of more than 2 m between adjacent plots. The subsurface drip irrigation system was installed in October 2023. Prior to irrigation, drip tape troubleshooting was conducted and recorded manually on 12 March 2024 (wheat regreening stage) and 29 June 2024 (maize-sowing stage). The experimental findings indicated that the primary factor influencing the stability of the irrigation system was the wall thickness of the drip tapes, while other system components operated efficiently. A significant correlation was observed between the wall thickness of the drip tape and the number of water leakage points (p < 0.05), with an absolute correlation coefficient exceeding 0.9. The number of leakage points in drip tapes with wall thicknesses of 0.2-0.28 mm (267 instances) was significantly higher than those with wall thicknesses of 0.31-0.38 mm (29 instances), primarily due to damage caused by mole crickets and wireworms. Following the injection of 40% phoxim, 2.5% lambda-cyhalothrin, and 70% imidacloprid insecticides (at a cost of 16.7 USDha(-1)) into the subsurface drip irrigation system, the insect pests were nearly eradicated within one month. A cumulative cost evaluation over a 6-10-year period recommended the use of drip tapes with a wall thickness of 0.31 mm and the application of insecticides every 1-2 months to maintain optimal system performance in this region. These measures can effectively support the stable operation of this irrigation technique at a relatively low cost.
