Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of corn planting, and particularly relates to a high-efficiency planting method for intercropping corn with leguminous green manure by increasing density and reducing nitrogen Background Art

[0002] Traditional corn planting mostly adopts a monoculture mode, relying on high nitrogen fertilizer input to maintain yield, but it is prone to problems such as soil compaction, nitrogen loss, and environmental pollution. Therefore, a planting mode of intercropping corn with green manure crops has been proposed. Its core principle is to utilize the biological nitrogen fixation ability of leguminous plants to reduce the input of chemical nitrogen fertilizer, and at the same time improve soil structure and fertility by turning under green manure. However, the existing planting mode of intercropping corn with green manure crops still has the following defects: 1) The planting density is low, and the land utilization rate is insufficient. The row spacing design of the existing intercropping mode limits the improvement of planting density. The density of corn is generally low, and it is difficult to break through the yield per unit area. At the same time, the sowing time of leguminous plants is inappropriate, and the early competition causes the growth of corn seedlings to be hindered. 2) The effect of nitrogen fertilizer reduction is limited. The seeds of leguminous plants are not coated, resulting in reduced nitrogen fixation efficiency and low nitrogen fixation amount. There is still an excessive dependence on nitrogen fertilizer, and the use of organic fertilizer and biochar is insufficient, resulting in poor soil fertilizer retention ability. 3) The nutrient release efficiency of green manure is low. In the existing technology, the turning-under time of green manure does not combine with the growth cycle of corn, the turning-under depth is insufficient, and no decomposing agent is added, resulting in slow decomposition of organic matter and difficulty in providing nutrients for corn in a timely manner.

The wide row is 80 cm, the narrow row is 40 cm, the plant spacing is 20 cm, the sowing depth is 5 cm, the sowing rate is 5 kg / mu, and thin out the seedlings to 5,200 plants / mu after emergence;

[0032] When the corn plant height is 50 - 60 cm, sow soybean seeds in the middle of the wide row, with a row spacing of 20 cm and a sowing rate of 4 kg / mu;

[0037] Comparative Example 1

[0038] The difference from Example 1 is that this comparative example completely refers to "Simplified and Efficient Cultivation Techniques for Intercropping Maize and Soybeans", edited by Gao Fengju and Zhao Wenlu, published by China Agricultural Science and Technology Press.

[0039] Test Example 1

[0040] During the implementation of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, the maize planting density, total nitrogen fertilizer application rate, and nitrogen fixation amount of soybeans were respectively counted. When the maize was harvested, the maize yield, protein content of maize grains, and organic matter content remaining in the soil were respectively counted. The results are shown in Table 2.

[0041] Nitrogen fixation amount of soybeans = (aboveground dry weight + root dry weight) × nitrogen content; when the soybeans were cut, samples of the aboveground part and roots (including root nodules) were collected, and the dry weights (kg / mu) were respectively measured, and then sent to a local testing agency to detect the nitrogen content (%) in the plant tissues.

[0042] Table 2

[0043] Example 1 Comparative Example 1 Maize planting density (plants / mu) 5200 4500 Maize yield (kg / mu) 842 716 Total nitrogen fertilizer application rate (kg / mu) 19.375 ≥50 Soil organic matter content (g / kg) 26.5 17.2 Maize grain protein content (g / kg) 10.7 8.6 Soybean nitrogen fixation amount (kg / mu) 35 19

[0044] As can be seen from Table 2, Example 1 increased the planting density by optimizing the wide-narrow row design, and the maize yield was significantly improved compared with Comparative Example 1. By coating the soybean seeds, staggering the planting, and incorporating the green manure during the maize growth period, Example 1 significantly reduced the dependence on chemical nitrogen fertilizers compared with Comparative Example 1, and the total nitrogen application rate was significantly reduced. The application of biochar and green manure in Example 1 increased the soil organic matter, and the protein content of maize grains was significantly improved.

[0045] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be obvious to those skilled in the art. The general principles defined herein can be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention will not be limited to these embodiments shown herein, but rather will be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
