A field experiment was conducted on winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) during 2013–2014 and 2014–2015 to study the root distribution profile and soil water dynamics under the main currently used irrigation methods in the North China Plain (NCP). The WinRHIZO system and the HYDRUS-1D model were used to identify a promising irrigation schedule. In this two-factor experiment, three irrigation methods, i.e., sprinkler irrigation (SI), surface drip irrigation (SDI) and surface flooding (SF), were scheduled to irrigate the crop as soon as the soil water content decreased to 70%, 60% and 50% of the field capacity. The results showed that both the irrigation method and irrigation schedule influenced root development, the profile root distribution pattern and the profile root water uptake (RWU). The soil surface temperature fluctuated very rapidly depending on the irrigation method and scheduling system used, whereas …
