[0046] First, the terms involved in the present application are explained:

[0047] Slope land: Slope land is an important cultivated land resource, which refers to the dry land on the hillside with poor flatness, serious problems of running water, fertilizer and soil, and low crop yield. Generally, it refers to the cultivated land with a slope of 6° to 25° which is reclaimed and utilized. Due to natural reasons such as climate and soil texture, and human reasons such as overuse of slope land caused by man-land contradiction and lack of water and soil conservation measures for slope land planting, the problem of water and soil loss on slope land is serious.

[0048] Grass cover: Grass cover is a method of planting herbaceous plants as cover in the row of fruit trees or in the whole orchard, which is an agricultural measure to maintain water and soil, regulate soil temperature, and increase soil fertility.

[0049] Plant hedge: Plant hedge is a plant strip formed by planting suitable trees, shrubs or herbaceous plants along contour lines on the slope, which has the ability of water and soil conservation, maintenance of biodiversity, climate regulation, provision of raw materials, landscape rest and other ecological system services.

[0050] The technical solutions of the present application and how the technical solutions of the present application solve the above technical problems will be described in detail below with specific examples. The following specific examples can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes can not be described again in some examples. The embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0051] Figure 1 A flowchart of a method for constructing a citrus orchard grass planting hedge system for hilly slope farmland in the south is provided for the embodiments of the present application Figure One ; for example Figure 1 , the method comprises:

[0052] S101, according to the contour line or vertical height, determine the mutually spaced grass planting area and plant hedge planting area in the citrus orchard.

[0053] Specifically, due to the particularity of slope farmland, the citrus orchard is divided into grass planting area and plant hedge planting area according to the contour line, and the citrus orchard is planned in the form of grass and plant hedge.

[0054] S102, determine the grass type and grass planting method according to the region type and tree age type of the citrus orchard, and plant grass in the grass planting area according to the grass type and grass planting method; wherein the region type includes southern economic forest garden and southwestern economic forest garden; the tree age type includes adult period and juvenile period, the grass type includes one or more of southern forest garden summer green manure, southern forest garden winter green manure, southwestern forest garden summer green manure and southwestern forest garden winter green manure; the grass planting method includes winter-summer green manure annual coverage mode or winter green manure coverage no-tillage grass suppression mode.

[0055] Specifically, the southern economic forest garden refers to the forest garden in the region south of the Yangtze River, such as Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Shanghai, Jiangxi, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi and Hainan, and the southwestern economic forest garden specifically refers to the forest garden in the southwestern region of China, such as Chongqing, Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan.

[0056] Specifically, due to the differences in climate, soil type and fertility level in different regions, it is necessary to select plants with good adaptability according to the actual situation of the local area. Ecological adaptability also exists in matching the growth needs of citrus trees. Different tree age types of citrus trees have different needs for light, water and nutrients, therefore, different grass types and grass planting methods are determined according to the tree age type and region type of the citrus orchard, and the grass is planted according to the corresponding type and planting method.

[0057] S103, determine the plant hedge type and plant hedge planting method according to the tree age type, and plant the plant hedge in the plant hedge planting area according to the plant hedge type and plant hedge planting method; wherein the plant hedge type includes low plant hedge and medium-high plant hedge.

[0058] Similarly, different types of hedges and planting methods should be determined based on the age of the trees in the citrus orchard; hedges should be planted according to the corresponding types and planting methods.

[0059] This application provides a method for constructing a grass-plant hedge system for citrus orchards on hilly sloping farmland in southern China. By alternating between grass and plant hedges, different types of grass, grass planting methods, plant hedge types, and plant hedge planting methods are determined according to the age type and regional type of the citrus orchard, thus constructing a grass-plant hedge system for citrus orchards on sloping farmland, thereby reducing the technical complexity and operability of citrus orchards on sloping farmland.

[0060] Figure 2 This application provides a flowchart illustrating the method for constructing a citrus orchard hedge system for hilly sloping farmland in southern China. Figure Two ,like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment... Figure 1 Based on the embodiments, the method is described in detail as follows:

[0061] S210. Divide the area into a hedge zone every 3-8 rows of citrus trees along contour lines or every 10-24 meters along vertical distance. The hedge zone is used to plant single or double rows of hedges. The area between two adjacent hedge zones is a grass zone.

[0062] Specifically, due to the special characteristics of sloping farmland, a row here does not refer to a row on the same straight line, but rather to a row arranged according to contour lines. One or more rows can be arranged on a single contour line.

[0063] S220. Based on the region type and tree age type, if the region type is a southern economic forest park, determine the grass cover type as either summer green manure or winter green manure for southern forest parks; if the region type is a southwestern economic forest park, determine the grass cover type as either summer green manure or winter green manure for southwestern forest parks; if the tree age type is young, determine the grass cover planting method as a year-round winter-summer green manure mulching pattern; if the tree age type is mature, determine the grass cover planting method as a winter green manure mulching no-till grass pressing pattern.

[0064] Specifically, the summer green manure for southern forest gardens includes one or more of the following: clover, cassia, cowpea, and black cowpea; the winter green manure for southern forest gardens includes one or more of the following: hairy vetch, glossy vetch, arrowhead pea, and milkvetch; the summer green manure for southwestern forest gardens includes one or more of the following: clover, cowpea, black cowpea, and lappa bean; the winter green manure for southwestern forest gardens includes one or more of the following: hairy vetch, glossy vetch, arrowhead pea, and mountain pea.

[0065] Specifically, the above-mentioned southern forest garden summer green manure, southern forest garden winter green manure, southwest forest garden summer green manure, and southwest forest garden winter green manure are based on their regions and tree ages, and fully consider the growth of citrus trees, light, space, and the demand for soil. Young citrus trees need more light and space, at this time, slow-growing, low-height grass species and hedge tree species can be selected; adult citrus trees need better water and soil conservation and ecological regulation functions, at this time, fast-growing, well-developed root system grass species and hedge tree species can be selected; in addition, due to the significant nitrogen fixation effect of legume plants, the grass growing method selects legume plants as the main grass growing species.

[0066] Specifically, the citrus garden tree age type can be divided into a young age period and an adult age period, wherein the young age period is the seedling period and the initial fruiting period of the fruit tree, the time is 0-4 years, and the tree height is about 2-3 meters; the adult age period is the fruiting period and the aging period of the fruit tree, the time is 4-12 years, and the tree height is about 3-8 meters.

[0067] Specifically, the winter-summer green manure annual coverage mode is: sowing winter green manure before and after rainfall in September-October, and then sowing or sowing and burying summer green manure in the following May-June; by September-October, burying summer green manure and sowing winter green manure, the first year implements a "two sowing and two burying" operation cycle.

[0068] Specifically, the winter green manure coverage no-tillage grass suppression mode is: sowing winter green manure when the soil moisture condition is good or before and after rainfall in September-October, and then sowing and burying summer green manure in the following May-June; by September-October, appropriately supplementing sowing (reducing the sowing amount by 30%).

[0069] Specifically, if the region type is a southern economic forest garden and the tree age type is a young age period, the grass growing type is determined as the southern forest garden summer green manure and the southern forest garden winter green manure, and the grass growing planting mode is determined as the winter-summer green manure annual coverage mode.

[0070] Specifically, if the region type is a southern economic forest garden and the tree age type is an adult age period, the grass growing type is determined as the southern forest garden winter green manure, and the grass growing planting mode is determined as the winter green manure coverage no-tillage grass suppression mode.

[0071] Specifically, if the region type is a southwest economic forest garden and the tree age type is a young age period, the grass growing type is determined as the southwest forest garden summer green manure and the southwest forest garden winter green manure, and the grass growing planting mode is determined as the winter-summer green manure annual coverage mode.

[0072] Specifically, if the region type is a southwest economic forest garden and the tree age type is an adult age period, the grass growing type is determined as the southwest forest garden winter green manure, and the grass growing planting mode is determined as the winter green manure coverage no-tillage grass suppression mode.

[0073] S230, planting grass according to the determined grass growing type and grass growing planting mode in the grass growing planting area.

[0074] Specifically, the citrus orchard is cleaned before sowing, and plowing is performed at a distance of 30-50 cm from the main trunk of the fruit tree in the planting area; in the plowing area, grass seed of the grass planting type is sown according to the grass planting mode.

[0075] Specifically, the pre-sowing preparation work includes: removing obvious stones, large branches, tall weeds and the like in the citrus orchard before sowing; plowing at a distance of 30-50 cm from the main trunk of the fruit tree in the orchard, with a plowing depth of 10-15 cm, leveling and breaking up the soil clods; while leveling the orchard, base fertilizer such as nitrogen fertilizer and phosphorus fertilizer can be applied first, with a recommended amount of 2-3 kg / mu (pure) of nitrogen fertilizer and 3-5 kg / mu (pure) of phosphorus fertilizer, and no base fertilizer can be applied in high-fertility plots.

[0076] Further, the green manure seeds should be sunned for 1-2 days before sowing to improve the germination rate of the seeds, promote water absorption and germination of the seeds, and ensure uniform emergence.

[0077] Further, the sowing amount of grass seeds can be appropriately increased in the first sowing of the citrus orchard, with a recommended amount of 1.5-2 kg / mu of Astragalus sinicus seeds, 3-5 kg / mu of Vicia cracca, arrow-shaped peas and clover.

[0078] Further, if the tree age type is the juvenile stage, the mixed green manure seeds are evenly sown between the rows of citrus trees at a distance of about 30-50 cm from the main trunk of the tree, ensuring that the seeds contact the ground, and then covered with branches or straw.

[0079] Further, if the tree age type is the adult stage, the no-tillage sowing method can be used for planting, and the grass seeds are directly sown between the rows of citrus trees at a distance of about 30-50 cm from the main trunk of the tree.

[0080] S240, if the tree age type is the juvenile stage, the plant hedge type is determined to be a low-type plant hedge, and the plant hedge planting method is determined to be a cutting or transplanting method; if the tree age type is the adult stage, the plant hedge type is determined to be a medium-high type plant hedge, and the plant hedge planting method is determined to be a direct seeding or transplanting method.

[0081] Specifically, the low-type plant hedge is generally a low shrub or herbaceous plant, such as one or more of wolfberry, Amorpha fruticosa, or day lily; among them, day lily is a shallow-rooted plant, which is distributed in different soil layers with the root system of citrus trees, and does not compete with citrus trees.

[0082] Specifically, the medium-high type plant hedge includes some shrubs or trees with fast growth rate, developed root system, drought and barren tolerance; for example, one or more of Zanthoxylum bungeanum, black locust, ligustrum, and Lantana camara, among which Lantana camara grows fast, with a growth of several meters per year, which can quickly establish a protective barrier.

[0083] Specifically, in the young stage of citrus trees, a winter-summer green manure annual mulching mode and low hedges are adopted to ensure the illumination and ventilation of the citrus trees; in the adult stage of the citrus trees, a winter green manure mulching no-tillage grass suppression mode is generally selected, and the height of the hedge is appropriately increased to improve the soil management effect.

[0084] S250, planting the hedge in the hedge planting area according to the determined hedge type and hedge planting mode.

[0085] Specifically, the suitable planting time of the hedge is the spring, and the planting is generally performed after the soil is thawed and the air temperature rises to the suitable temperature; before the hedge is planted, the soil is ploughed, leveled and fertilized with an appropriate amount of organic fertilizer.

[0086] Further, the planting density of the hedge needs to consider the growth habits of different plants, and the planting density of the plant species with rapid growth and many branches can be appropriately reduced, while the planting density of the plant species with slow growth and few branches needs to be increased; for example, the planting density of Amorpha fruticosa is generally 3-5 plants per meter, and the planting density of Lantana camara can reach 5-8 plants per meter; in the citrus orchard with a large slope, the planting density of the hedge should be appropriately increased to enhance the ability of intercepting slope runoff and preventing soil erosion. Generally speaking, the planting density can be increased by 10%-20% for each increase of 10 degrees of slope.

[0087] S260, managing and maintaining the planted grass and hedge.

[0088] Specifically, the young citrus orchard needs to timely remove weeds in the initial growth stage of the grass to avoid the competition for nutrients and water between the weeds and the grass; when the grass grows to a certain height, the grass is appropriately pruned; and water is timely supplied to meet the growth needs of the grass.

[0089] Specifically, the management of the grass in the adult citrus orchard should be light and simple, and no fertilization and weeding are needed; in the newly reclaimed or barren citrus orchard, an appropriate amount of fertilizer, especially phosphorus fertilizer, is applied, and generally, 10-20 kg of calcium-magnesium-phosphorus fertilizer or superphosphoric acid calcium and 5-10 kg of potassium sulfate are recommended per mu.

[0090] Specifically, the management of the grass needs to pay attention to timely irrigation when drought occurs, and the soil should be deep ploughed once every 3-7 years, preferably every 5 years or so.

[0091] Specifically, after the hedge is planted, water is timely supplied to keep the soil moist and promote the survival and growth of the hedge.

[0092] The embodiment of the application provides a citrus orchard grass hedge system construction method for the hilly and sloping land in the south, which has the following technical effects:

[0093] Since grass and hedge tree species have different ecological niches, they differ in space, time and resource utilization. By setting up a gap between the two and reasonable collocation, ecological space and resources can be fully utilized, and the stability and productivity of the ecosystem can be improved. For example, grass species usually have shallow root systems and mainly use soil surface water and nutrients; while hedge tree species have deep root systems and can absorb soil deep water and nutrients, the combination of the two can improve the utilization efficiency of soil water and nutrients. By fully utilizing the differences and complementarities of different grass and hedge tree species in ecological function, the soil temperature regulation and soil fertility improvement functions of grass-covered ground can be fully utilized; the plant hedge can loosen the soil, increase the soil porosity, promote the activity of soil microorganisms, intercept the soil on the slope, retain water and soil, and regulate the microclimate.

[0094] According to the ecological adaptability and ecological niche complementarity principle, since the climate, soil type and fertility level of different regions are different, and different tree age types of citrus trees have different demands for light, water and nutrients, according to the geographical location and tree age type, the grass species and hedge tree species are reasonably selected to better adapt to the local climate and soil conditions. A stable, efficient and sustainable ecological system is constructed to provide a good environment for the growth of citrus trees, while realizing the unity of ecology, economy and social benefits.

[0095] Compared with the current method, the process of plowing and loosening the soil when planting grass every year does not need to invest more labor, reduces the workload of re-digging and building ecological ditches in different positions, reduces the dependence of the orchard on microbial agents and strain agents, and reduces the investment in fertilizers to save costs.

[0096] The embodiment of the application also provides a citrus orchard grass and hedge system construction method for hilly and sloping farmland in the south. It is used in a certain citrus base in Hubei hilly area (citrus variety is Lunwan, tree age is 6 years, and slope is 27°), belongs to southern economic garden, and is adult citrus orchard. The steps include:

[0097] (1) In the citrus orchard, along the contour line, every 5 rows of citrus trees are divided into hedge regions, and are planted in single rows; adjacent hedge regions are grass regions;

[0098] (2) The citrus orchard belongs to a southern economic garden, is an adult citrus orchard, the grass type is determined to be southern forest orchard winter green manure, the grass planting mode is determined to be a winter green manure cover no-tillage and grass suppression mode; the southern forest orchard winter green manure selects velvet vetch seeds; when planting, velvet vetch seeds are selected for sowing in late October of the first year, the green manure seeds should be selected for sunning for 1-2 days before sowing, and the dosage is 4 kg / mu; the grass seeds are directly sowed in the grass region at a distance of about 30-50 cm from the trunk of the citrus tree between the rows of citrus trees;

[0099] (3) According to the tree age type, a middle-high type plant hedge is selected, and specifically, Lantana camara is selected; in the first year, Lantana camara seedlings are selected in early April to be transplanted in the plant hedge area, and the planting density is 6 seedlings per meter;

[0100] According to the method of the embodiment, from the planting effect in the second year, the soil can be covered after the grass seeds in the soil naturally germinate, and ploughing is not needed in the second year.

[0101] The embodiment of the application further provides a citrus orchard grass planting hedge system construction method for a southern hilly slope farmland, which is used for a certain citrus base in Hubei hilly land (citrus variety is Jiuyuehong, tree age is 3 years, and slope is 18°), belongs to a southern economic garden, and is a young citrus orchard. Steps include:

[0102] (1) In the citrus orchard, every 8 rows of citrus trees are determined as plant hedge areas along the contour line, and are planted in a single row; and the plant hedge areas adjacent to each other are grass planting areas;

[0103] (2) The citrus orchard belongs to a southern economic garden, is a young citrus orchard, the grass planting type is determined as southern forest garden summer green manure and southern forest garden winter green manure, and the grass planting mode is determined as a summer green manure annual coverage mode. The southern forest garden summer green manure is selected as Trifolium repens, and the southern forest garden winter green manure is selected as Vicia villosa.
