The invention discloses a method for planting corn and cover crops, belongs to the field of crop planting, and particularly relates to a cultivating method of inter-annual crop rotation of corn and the cover crops. The technical problems of reduction of soil quality and non-point source pollution caused by large-scale use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides in the corn planting process are solved. The cultivating method comprises the steps of 1, soil preparation in spring, 2, ridging and basal dressing, 3, sowing of corn, 4, sowing of the cover crops on ridges, 5, planting of the cover crops in furrows, 6, harvest of corn, 7, crushing of residual bodies of the cover crops and plowing in the spring of a next year, 8, ridging in the next year, and 9, field management in a second year. The cover crops such as gramineae are planted in the furrows, so that the field space is fully used, and the growth of weeds is avoided. The cover crops such as gramineae are planted in the furrows the biological yield is high, the absorption and utilization capacity for N in deeper layers of soil are good, and the protection effect for water resources and ecological environment is good.
