Notes: T0 = Traditional irrigation; T1 = Traditional irrigation and fertilization practice; T2 = Water-saving irrigation and optimizing fertilization. SOC: Soil organic carbon; N: Nitrogen; TN: Total N; NO3 −N: Nitrate N; NH4+ −N: Ammonium N; P: Phosphorus; TP: Total P; K: Potassium; TK: Total K; AK: Available K. Values (means ± SD) with different lower-case letters in a column are significantly different at P < 0.05 according to the Duncan test.
