Abstract: 【Objective】The objectives of this study were to evaluate the influence of drip system uniformity and soil spatial variability on the spring maize yield. 【Method】Field experiments were conducted during four growing seasons of spring maize (Zea may L.) from 2009 to 2012 in the North China Plain. Three Christiansen uniformity coefficients (Cu) of 0.66, 0.81, and 0.99 and three levels of irrigation amount (50%, 75%, and 100% of irrigation requirement) were used in 2009 and 2010. While three Cu of 0.59, 0.80 and 0.97 and three levels of nitrogen applied at 0, 120 and 210 kg•hm-2 were used in 2011 and 2012. The influence of drip irrigation uniformity on spring maize yield was analyzed using a spatial effect model and an analysis of variance (ANOVA) approach. 【Result】The ANOVA results indicated that neither drip uniformity nor irrigation amount and nitrogen application level imposed a significant influence on maize yield. However, the spatial effect model, which considered the influence of spatial variability in the field on spring maize yield, demonstrated that nonuniformly applied water and fertilizers may imposed a negative influence on growth of crop when an extremely low uniformity (e.g. Cu<0.6) was used. 【Conclusion】This study recommended that the spatial variability of field should be considered when the target drip irrigation uniformity is determined. For the semi-humid regions such as the North China Plain, an extremely low drop uniformity of less than 0.6 is not recommended.
