The researoh explored the cultivation mode of water-saving and salinity-controlling for maize in Yinbei Irrigation Area of Ningxia，in order to provide technical supports for crop efficient planting in arid and semi-arid area.Field experimental treatments were set up，five planting patterns for maize，including half film mulching(HM)，ridge-furrow planting with white film mulching over ridge only(RWF)，ridge-furrow planting with white film mulching over ridge and maize straw mulching over furrow(RWFM)，ridge-furrow planting with black film mulching over ridge only(RBF)，ridge-furrow planting with black film mulching over ridge and corn straw mulching over furrow( RBFM)，and three water qualities for irrigation，including yellow river，low-salinity drainage water and high-salinity drainage water，were conducted.The drainage water involved in this study was brackish water.The effect of the combined of quality of irrigation water and planting patterns of maize on soil moisture，temperature，salinity were studied.The results showed that:(1)The soil temperature of topsoil in HM was higher than that in ridge-furrow planting method under the condition of drainage water irrigation；With the increase of salinity of irrigation water，the topsoil temperature increased in HM.while the topsoil temperature decreased first and then increased in RWF，and straw mulching decreased the topsoil temperature.(2)The higher the salinity of irrigation water was，the greater the topsoil humidity in HM treatment would be.and the topsoil humidity decreased first and then increased in RMF treatment.Ridge-furrow planting alleviated the sharp change of soil humidity at a depth of 10 cm compared with HM.And the mitigation effect was more obvious when combined with straw mulching over furrow.(3)RWF under Yellow River water irrigation，and RBFM under drainage water irrigation could effectively control the soil salt content of 0-20 cm soil layer，while the latter under the condition of low-salinity drainage water irrigation was beneficial to reduce the soil salt content in 40-80 cm soil layer.In summary，in Yinbei Irrigation Area，RWF under yellow river irrigation and RBFM under high salinity drainage water irrigation had a better hydrothermal environment，and was beneficial to control soil salt content of 0-20 cm soil layer.
