| Abstract | Emitter clogging is a bottleneck to restrain the application and popularization of reclaimed water drip irrigation technology, and it is tightly related to the formation of biofilms attached on drip irrigation emitters. However, there is still no quantitative description about the relationship between biofilms components and emitter clogging. Based on the reclaimed water drip irrigation experiment, the characteristics of biofilms attached on 7 kinds of emitters under reclaimed water drip irrigation have been systematically explored with phospholipid fatty acids (PLFAs) and other microbiological testing methods, and quantitative relationship between biofilms components and emitter clogging was analyzed. The results showed that emitter clogging degree and biofilms components revealed an increasing trend with the drip irrigation system running, which could be regarded as the “quick-slow-quick-slow” increasing trend. Biofilms exhibited a rapid growth after restarting in the 2nd year. The dry weights (DWs), PLFAs, and extracellular polymers (EPS) of biofilms attached on the emitters could reach up to 0.133 g, 100.83 μg, and 1,645.04 μg, respectively, after accumulatively ran for 540 h. DWs of biofilms in different positions such as head, middle, and end parts of the lateral also revealed a increasing trend. Meanwhile, biofilms in the pressure-compensating emitters grew less than that in the non-pressure-compensating emitters. During the initial 540 h of the system running, DWs, PLFAs, and EPS of attached biofilms had a obvious negative linear correlation (R 2 > 0.85) with emitter discharge ratio variation (Dra) and coefficient of uniformity (CU), which could describe the drip irrigation emitter clogging mechanism well. Furthermore, PLFAs reflected the type and quantity of microorganisms in attached biofilms, and sticky EPS secreted by microorganisms could link the microorganisms with absorbed particulates together and formed the stable biofilm structure. As PLFAs reflected the comprehensive effect of microorganisms, particulates and EPS on emitter clogging, and presented the highest negative linear correlation with Dra (R 2 = 0.93), it is most appropriate to reflect emitter clogging mechanism. These results can provide a theoretical basis for exploring emitter clogging mechanism and promoting the application of reclaimed water drip irrigation technology. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
