Abstract: The best water-saving model and the appropriate irrigation amount of maize was explored under the climate condition in Tongliao by comparing and analyzing the effects of different water-saving models on maize yield.The relationship between maize yield and water-saving effect under different water-saving model s were analyzed according to contrast experiment of shallow subsurface drip irrigation without mulch(SI),pipe irrigation(PI)and drip irrigation under mulch(DI).The results showed that the sort of maize yields under different water-saving models was DI 235 mm>SI 235 mm>SI 300 mm>SI 170 mm>PI 280 mm>SI 105 mm>SI 40mm.SI 235 mm was the best water-saving model,and the total water requirement from sowing to maturity was 505.2 mm,the total water drop is 235.0 mm.SI 235mm had water conservation 45 mm,and the saving water rate was 16.07%compared with PI;the cost of mulch was also saved compared with DI,thereby realizing zero pollution.
