What are the benefits of intercropping cotton with Pinellia ternata?
Through our trials, intercropping Pinellia ternata in cotton fields shows no "conflict" between the two, neither crop's yield decreases, and an additional 80-100 kg of dried Pinellia ternata medicinal material can be harvested per mu, increasing income. The benefits of intercropping Pinellia ternata in cotton fields are mainly shown in the following aspects: 1. Clever use of the time difference. According to the characteristics of Pinellia ternata, it grows well from March to June without shade, and from July to September Pinellia ternata must grow under shaded conditions, and at this time cotton enters a rapid growth stage with luxuriant branches and leaves, creating a good microclimate for the normal growth of Pinellia ternata

How to intercrop mushrooms and ginger year-round in a citrus orchard
Trees such as mandarin oranges and pomelos are tall and large, and the orchard is generally fairly open yet shaded. To increase orchard income, the author conducted a year-round intercropping trial of mushrooms and ginger in a pomelo orchard about 30 years old with a spacing of 5 m × 5 m. Starting in the autumn of 1989 (September), white mushrooms were planted between the rows, with a planting area of about 44 sq m. By calculation, the investment was about 400 yuan, and the net income from the autumn mushrooms and spring mushrooms reached more than 500 yuan. After the spring mushrooms were harvested in April 1990, the mushroom substrate was turned and buried into the soil, in preparation for planting ginger.

Detailed Explanation of the Key Technical Points of Jujube-Grain Intercropping
1 Scientific Basis of Jujube-Grain Intercropping 1.1 Seize the time difference between the growth of jujube trees and intercrops to make full use of fertilizer and water resources. The jujube tree is a fruit tree that sprouts late, sheds its leaves early, and has a relatively short annual growth period. It generally begins to sprout in mid-April and sheds its leaves in mid-to-late October, while wheat is sown in late September and harvested in early June of the following year. The symbiotic period of jujube trees and wheat is about 80 to 90 days. From mid-May to early June is the period when wheat flowers, fills grain, and matures, mainly absorbing phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, with nitrogen fertilizer as a supplement. And the jujube tree is precisely in the period of growing leaves, differentiating young buds

High-yield cultivation technique for three successive crops intercropped in jujube orchards
The jujube tree (Ziziphus jujuba) has relatively strong growth adaptability and is a tree species that prefers warmth and light. When the spring temperature reaches 13-15°C, it begins to sprout branches; when the monthly average temperature is above 17°C, flower buds begin to differentiate; when it is above 2O°C, it flowers; the suitable temperature for fruit ripening is 18-22°C; when the temperature drops to 15°C, it begins to shed leaves. Because of its characteristics of late sprouting, early leaf fall, and little shading, it is suitable for intercropping with grain, cotton, and vegetables, and the economic benefits are very considerable. The following introduces the high-yield technique for interplanting three successive crops in one year in a jujube orchard. 1. Key points of jujube cultivation techniques

What should be noted when intercropping in a peach orchard?
Points to note when intercropping in a peach orchard: after the peach trees are planted, the trees are still small, so tall-stemmed crops are not suitable for the intercropped land; peanuts, root and tuber crops, and legumes are preferable. Intercropped crops must not be planted too close to the tree trunks. Generally, for newly planted trees, a tree plate of about 1 sq m can be left, and for trees that have just begun to bear fruit, a tree plate of about 2 to 3 sq m should be left, to prevent the intercropped crops from competing with the fruit trees for fertilizer and water. To increase soil organic matter, green manure can be interplanted between the rows of peach trees. Interplanting green manure is an important way to resolve the competition between fruit trees and grain crops for fertilizer.

Under full-light cultivation of Schisandra chinensis, Welsh onion or Schisandra chinensis seedlings can be intercropped
To make full use of the land between the rows of cultivated Schisandra chinensis, before the Schisandra chinensis plants reach fruit-bearing at 4 years of age, intercropping Welsh onion or Schisandra chinensis seedlings can yield certain economic benefits to offset the costs of cultivating Schisandra chinensis. I. Planning 1. When Schisandra chinensis is cultivated with a row spacing of 1.5 m and a plant spacing of 0.5 m, the available inter-row land area per mu (667 sq m) of Schisandra chinensis orchard is as follows: for each mu (667 sq m) of land, estimated by a long side of 33 m and a short side of 20 m (660 sq m), with a row spacing of 1.5 m, 22 rows can be laid out, each 20 m long; at the early stage of cultivation, the horizontal spread of the Schisandra chinensis root system is not large, so the width of the Schisandra chinensis seedling belt can be kept at 80 cm (40 cm on each side), the usable inter-row width is 70 cm, leaving a ditch width of 10 cm on each side, and one ridge 50 cm wide can be formed, on which 2 rows of Welsh onion are planted, with a row spacing of 10-15 cm and a plant spacing of 10 cm. Based on this calculation, each inter-row space can plant 10 sq m of Welsh onion, and each mu of Schisandra chinensis orchard can plant 22 rows of Welsh onion, requiring 9,680 Welsh onion sets; each Welsh onion set is 1.5-2 cm in diameter, about 80 per jin, so about 120 jin of Welsh onion sets are needed, and the plantable Welsh onion area is 220 sq m.

Key Techniques for High-Efficiency Cultivation of Soybean Intercropped with Melon
Soybean intercropped with melon at a 4:2 ratio, with Chinese cabbage replanted as the following crop after melon harvest, achieves three harvests from one field and an income of more than 15,000 yuan per hectare, making it a new high-yield and high-efficiency planting model. 1. Selecting new varieties 1.1 For the soybean variety, select Jinta soybean, which has strong branching and super-high yield. Jinta soybean has 6 outstanding characteristics: 1) Strong growth vigor. Jinta soybean has a plant height of 70-80 cm, thick and sturdy stems, and high resistance to lodging; 2) Strong branching ability. A single plant has 8-10 branches, with a maximum of 16 branches. The branches grow upward, and the plant takes on a fan shape without breaking branches, overcoming the tendency of strongly branching soybeans to break branches, resulting in an ideal plant type; 3) Dense pod setting. A single plant sets 200-250 pods, with a maximum of 400 pods. The pods are so dense that the stems are hidden, 2-3 times that of other soybeans. Most pods are 3-seeded, with a yield of 75-100 g per plant and a maximum of 400 g; 4) Excellent quality. The beans are golden yellow, large and uniform, with a 100-seed weight of 22-25 g and high oil and protein content; 5) Strong stress resistance. The growth period is 120 days and requires an effective accumulated temperature of 2450°C. It is drought-resistant, moisture-tolerant, and salt-alkali tolerant, and prefers fertilizer and water. It is suitable for planting in Jilin, Liaoning, Heilongjiang, and Inner Mongolia in areas with an effective accumulated temperature above 2450°C; 6) High and stable yield. The yield per hectare is 4000-5000 kg, making it a high-yielding, high-quality soybean variety.
