Evaluation on the benefit of the combined management model of chestnut-medicine under different light transmittance
In order to improve the output rate and economic efficiency of chestnut forests,and increase the income of mountain forest farmers,based on the principle of"suitable forest,suitable land,suitable medicine",this study selected four typical Chinese herbal medicines that have been developed in recent years in East China,and constructed four chestnut-medicine models under different light transmittance rates in chestnut forests,including chestnut-raspberry,chestnut-Dendrobium,chestnut-Tetrastigma and chestnut-Bletilla.The input costs and economic benefits of each chestnut-medicine model were statistically analyzed,and three high-efficiency chestnut-medicine compound cultivation models were finally selected:three-year chestnut-Tetrastigma(light transmittance rate 0.3-0.5),five-year chestnut-raspberry(light transmittance rate>0.5),and five-year chestnut-Dendrobium(light transmittance rate<0.3).This study provides theoretical basis and practical reference for the economic model of chestnut forests in Zhejiang and surrounding provinces.
