Effects of Intercropping or Mixed Cropping with Corn on Yield and Quality of Soybean
A three-factor randomized block design was adopted with two com cultivars,five soybean cultivars and intercropping or mixed cropping to study the change of yield traits, protein and fat content of soybean. The results showed that com cultivars, soybean cultivars and planting methods affected soybean yield, but the differences were not significant. The combinations of com cultivars and soybean cultivars or soybean cultivars and planting methods had a significant effect on soybean yield. The combinations of com cultivars Denghai 11 and soybean cultivars Nandou 12 got the highest soybean yield. Soybean cultivars Liang 2032 mixed cropping with com could get the highest soybean yield. Com cultivars,soybean cultivars and planting methods had some effects on fat and protein content of soybean. Intercropping or mixed cropping with corn had different effects on yield and quality of soybean, and corresponding cultivars and planting methods should be selected and used based on production objective in practice.
