Abstract: Methods combining experiment (field) and numerical simulation (HYDRUS-1D) are an efficient approach for revealing the effect of deficit separate furrow irrigation on soil water and nitrogen movement, winter wheat root water and N uptake, physiology and biochemical characteristics. The results showed that the net photosynthetic and transpiration rate of CF were the highest. But the leaf water use efficiency (LWUE) under FI and DSFI were higher than that under CF. The diurnal mean LWUE of DSFI1 in flowering-filling growth stage was the highest among all treatments. The mean proline content of DSFI was higher than that of CF and FI. And the deficit irrigation schedule had non-significant effects on both crop water consumption and water use efficiency but had significant effects on N use efficiency. The deficit irrigation in green-jointing growth stage under furrow irrigation is the best water-saving management strategy for growing winter wheat.
