This invention discloses a method for
intercropping multiple
forage grasses in citrus orchards. Addressing the drawbacks of traditional clean cultivation management and single-grass
intercropping in citrus orchards, it employs a mixed
sowing of four varieties: ryegrass, white clover,
gnaphalium affine, and milkvetch. It includes standardized steps for
orchard pretreatment, seed pretreatment, precision
sowing,
seedling management, growth period management,
forage harvesting and returning to the field, and water and
fertilizer regulation. Strict control of parameters at each stage is maintained, and a specific ratio of compound bio-
fertilizer is selected to optimize the citrus water and
fertilizer management scheme. This invention achieves year-round closed coverage of the
citrus orchard through the complementary characteristics of the four
forage grasses, improving the control rate of noxious weeds, reducing soil
erosion, increasing
soil organic matter content, and increasing citrus yield per acre. It combines the advantages of improving
soil fertility, suppressing weeds and conserving
moisture, improving quality and efficiency, and promoting a green and
ecological environment, thus constructing a highly efficient and sustainable citrus ecological planting
system.
