Study on Yield and Economic Benefits of Fresh Maize-Sweet Potato-Soybean Intercropping
In order to explore a new intercropping model that suitable for the flatland and shallow hill in Chongqing and similar ecological areas,increase the yield and economic benefits of crops,and provide reference for research on crop intercropping models,an intercropping experiment with fresh maize,sweet potato,and soybean was conducted. In this experiment,three different row ratios of maize-sweet potato-soybean intercropping models were used,with one fresh waxy maize variety,three fresh sweet potato varieties,and one fresh soybean variety as materials. The results showed that there were no significant differences in the yield components of fresh waxy maize in different row ratio intercropping models,but there was a significant difference in the average fresh ear weight per plant and yield. There were no significant differences in the number of branches,effective pod number per plant,and fresh pod yield of fresh soybean in different row ratio intercropping models. In the intercropping system,sweet potatoes in different row ratio intercropping were affected by the shading of maize,resulting in varying degrees of reduction in storage root yield. The different row ratio intercropping models had inconsistent effects on the number of storage root per plant and commodity rate of different sweet potato varieties. Increasing the intercropping planting density of fresh sweet potato and waxy maize properly is beneficial for achieving high yields. Using the row ratio model of 2︰2︰3,and intercropping fresh waxy maize and fresh soybean with sweet potato variety'Pushu32'can achieve the highest total economic benefits.
