Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a method for improving land productivity. BACKGROUND

[0002] Land productivity is an index reflecting the production capacity of land. It is also known as land production level. It is usually expressed by the amount of products or the value of products per unit area of land in a production period. There is a big difference in land productivity in different types of areas, different land conditions, different natural environmental factors and social and economic conditions. Even under the same natural conditions, due to the difference in material input, scientific and technological level and management level, the land productivity is different. Land is different from other means of production, and the index of land production capacity is the basis for sustainable development of agriculture. Not only the output is considered, but also the output is considered, and the land production capacity is restored and enhanced to ensure the healthy and sustainable development of cultivated land.

[0003] In the process of agricultural modernization development, it is necessary to tap the utilization potential of land, promote the research of key agricultural technologies, and improve the land productivity. Only by improving the land productivity can the income of farmers be increased, the living standard of farmers be improved, and the rural economic development be promoted. As the main content and guarantee of realizing agricultural production modernization, improving the utilization rate of land resources has important practical significance. SUMMARY

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is how to improve the land productivity under the climate conditions in Handan City, to carry out high-efficiency cultivation of hybrid cotton and fresh waxy corn interplanting, to reasonably distribute the growth time and space of the two crops, and to fully utilize the light, water and nutrient substances, so as to save cost, increase income and improve the land productivity. The cultivation system can be popularized and applied in the whole Handan City and other areas with similar environmental conditions.

[0005] To solve the above technical problem, the present application provides a method for improving land productivity. The method is to plant fresh waxy corn in Handan City in early March according to the mode of reserving a cotton planting belt between every two corn planting belts, to plant two rows of corn with a row spacing of 50 cm in each corn planting belt, and to set the width of the cotton planting belt to 242 cm; to interplant three rows of hybrid cotton in the cotton planting belt according to the equal row spacing of 76 cm in early May, and to set the row spacing of the hybrid cotton to 76 cm and the distance between each row of hybrid cotton and the adjacent row of corn to 45 cm, so as to improve the land productivity.

[0006] In the above method, the improvement of land productivity is compared with the planting of hybrid cotton only (single cropping) per unit area, or compared with the planting of fresh waxy corn only (single cropping) per unit area.

[0007] In the method, the two rows of corn are covered with a film with a film width of 0.9 meters during cultivation; and the three rows of hybrid cotton are covered with a film with a film width of 2 meters during cultivation.

[0008] In the method, the plant spacing of the hybrid cotton is 13.5 cm.

[0009] In the method, the plant spacing of the fresh waxy corn is 20 cm.

[0010] In the method, the hybrid cotton is selected from medium-early-mature varieties with short growth period and high yield, such as Hanza No. 13, Hanza 301, or Hanza 429.

[0011] In the method, the fresh waxy corn is selected from early-mature fresh waxy corn varieties with short growth period, such as Wan Nuo 2000, Wan Nuo 158, or Wan Nuo 188.

[0012] In the method, the hybrid cotton and the fresh waxy corn are both sown by the dry seeding and wet emergence method. The dry seeding and wet emergence method refers to that the field is not irrigated before sowing, and the sowing, film covering, and drip irrigation belt laying are completed at one time, and water is immediately irrigated after sowing to save cost and achieve complete emergence.

[0013] In the method, the hybrid cotton and the fresh waxy corn are sown at the same time by laying a drip irrigation belt, covering a film, and sowing.

[0014] In the method, a step of applying a topdressing to the hybrid cotton after the fresh waxy corn is harvested is included. The topdressing can be combined with water irrigation.

[0015] The present application is to improve the utilization rate of land and increase the economic benefits of farmers. According to the climate characteristics and farming arrangement characteristics of Handan City, a special study on the intercropping mode and matching cultivation technology of hybrid cotton and fresh waxy corn is carried out. The intercropping mode and matching cultivation technology suitable for Handan City are selected. The planting mode is reasonable in time and space distribution, does not affect each other, and can fully improve the light conditions in the population of the two crops, reasonably allocate nutrients and water in the soil, increase the yield of cotton in unit area of land, and achieve the purpose of increasing the income of farmers.

The materials, reagents, etc. used in the following examples can be obtained commercially, unless otherwise specified.

[0019] The hybrid cotton variety Hanzamian No. 13 in the following examples is a transgenic insect-resistant three-line hybrid cotton variety, which was approved by Hebei Crop Variety Approval Committee in 2021 and is recorded in the non-patent literature "Ren Aimin, Ma Weijun, Zhang Yujuan, Han Qiucheng, Cui Minghui, Gao Caihong Breeding and Cultivation Technology of Transgenic Insect-Resistant Three-Line Hybrid Cotton Hanzamian No. 13", which can be obtained from the applicant to repeat the method of the application.

[0020] The fresh eating waxy corn variety Wanlu 2000 in the following examples is a product of Hebei Province Wanjian County Huasui Special Purpose Corn Seed Industry Co., Ltd.

[0021] Example 1

[0022] In order to improve land productivity, it is found in years of research that the symbiotic period of corn and cotton is 40-50 days, which is short. During the symbiotic period, cotton is in the seedling to bud stage, and the plant is short, which does not affect the growth of corn. After the harvest of fresh eating waxy corn, cotton is fertilized, the cotton plant enters the rapid growth period, the ventilation and light transmission are good, the cotton has no rotten bolls, and there is no effect on the yield of cotton. The inventors have conducted special research on the interplanting mode and matching cultivation technology of hybrid cotton and fresh eating waxy corn, and have selected a more suitable interplanting mode and matching cultivation technology for Handan City. The planting mode is reasonable in time and space distribution of the two crops, does not affect each other, and can fully improve the light conditions in the population of the two crops, reasonably allocate nutrients and water in the soil, and increase the yield of corn in unit area of land, achieving the purpose of increasing farmers' income.
