Effect of Three Different Herb-rubber Intercropping Patterns on Soil Physical and Chemical Properties in Rubber Forest
The paper aims to study the effect of herb-rubber intercropping patterns on improving soil physical and chemical properties,and screen out the best intercropping pattern.Physical and chemical properties,such as soil water content,pH value,organic matter content,total N and available N were tested by soil physical and chemical analysis under three herb-rubber intercropping patterns.The results showed that the three different herb-rubber intercropping patterns had a significant influence on soil physical and chemical properties,especially soil organic matter content and total nitrogen content.PCA analysis showed that sharen-rubber and gegen-rubber intercropping patterns were the best herb-rubber intercropping patterns,which had an obvious improving effect on rubber soil physical and chemical properties.
