Abstract: In order to probe dry matter accumulation, grain yield and water use efficiency of
winter wheat, the study has been conducted under three irrigation treatments by the different
irrigation methods. The results show that winter wheat water consumption and the ground dry
matter accumulation gradually increase under the different irrigation conditions, with the
increase in the number of irrigations, while yield and water use efficiency increase at first and
then decrease. Under the same irrigation times, the water consumption of winter wheat in
bed-planting is lower than that in flat planting, and dry matter accumulation is higher than that
of flat planting. Compared with the flat planting, the water quantity of bed-planting can be saved
40%, the production can increase by 5.5% to 11.3%, and water use efficiency can increase by 0.17
to 0.40kg/m3. On the basis of the experimental results, it is suggested that the bed-planting
mode in combination with considerably deficit irrigation at winter, jointing and booting stages is
worth extending the application in winter wheat production.
