The P fertilizer was calcium superphosphate, which application amount was 150 kg hm−2 at the local level (measured by P2O5). K fertilizer was potassium chloride, and the amount was 45 kg hm−2 (measured in K2O) at the local level. P-fertilizer, K-fertilizer and 50% N were applied at one time as base fertilizer, and the remaining N was applied at the rapid growth stage

Irrigated by Yellow River water, and the salinity 0.608 g L−1. Irrigation was done 3 times in the whole growth period of summer maize. The irrigation quota for a single irrigation was 135 mm. A gasoline pump was used to quantitatively extract water from the canal
