Use micro-evaporating dish to test the soil evaporation of daily sprinkling during the growth period of summer maize under the condition of controlled alternate furrow irrigation, analyze its change law and study the main environmental factors which have effected soil evaporation of daily sprinkling, finally establish the relationship between relative strength of soil surface evaporation and water content of soil surface, etc. The results show that if the water content is controlled reasonably, the controlled alternate furrow irrigation can effectively reduce the invalid soil evaporation of daily sprinkling and have a small impact on yield (Treatment of L-80 and L-70 have respectively reduced yield by 2.85% and 3.99%). Moreover, water production efficiency has also experienced a large increase (Treatment of L-80 and L-70 have respectively increased yield by 44.37% and 22.08%). Alternate furrow irrigation is the most suitable model of water supply for summer maize, which can achieve the dual goal of both water saving and yield increasing.
