Effects of Different Understory Interplanting Patterns on the Growth and Soil Properties of Morinda officinalis in Western Guangdong
This paper aims to explore the influence of different interplanting patterns on the growth of Morinda officinalis and to screen the suitable interplanting modes based on the studies of leaf,root,chlorophyll,polysac-charide content,and soil properties.The results indicated that the ranking of the most favorable growth modes was:Mode 3>Mode 1>Mode 4>Mode 2.Among them,Mode 3,Brazilian ginseng+M.officinalis in the new forest environment,was more conducive to the growth of leaves and roots,chlorophyll synthesis,and polysac-charide accumulation.At the same time,all the interplanting models increased the soil nutrient contents,among which the soil ammonium nitrogen,available phosphorus,and available potassium in model 3 were the highest.
