Study on Ecological Stability of Cassava-peanut Intercropping
Year: 2012
Type: article
Abstract: A field experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of cassava-peanut intercropping on stability of the ecosystem,and also an association analysis was taken on soil moisture and pH value.The results showed that:(1) When total solar eclipse occurred,peanuts under intercropping measures showed a higher resistance to the environment than pure measures,reflecting the advantage of intercropping;When the total solar eclipse happened,the restoration of net photosynthetic efficiency(Pn) of peanut under pure measures increased,reflecting the net advantage.(2) With the model of leaf temperature,a concept named intercropping dominance(ID) was created.The ID of cassava-peanut intercropping derived +0.83%which verified that cassava-peanut intercropping really had advantages under normal weather conditions.(3)While improved the performance of water retention undoubtedly,cassava-peanut intercropping also exacerbated the red soil acidification.
