Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of agricultural compound planting, and relates to a method for saving cost and increasing efficiency in compound planting of Zanthoxylum bungeanum and grain. BACKGROUND

[0002] (I) Status of the Prior Art

[0003] Sichuan is the largest province of Zanthoxylum bungeanum planting in China. As of the end of 2024, the total area of Zanthoxylum bungeanum cultivation in the province was 5.3 million mu, with an annual output of 190,000 tons of dried peppers and a comprehensive annual output value of 30 billion yuan, which is an important pillar of the economy in mountainous rural areas. However, in recent years, the market price of Zanthoxylum bungeanum has been low, and the traditional Zanthoxylum bungeanum monoculture mode has problems such as low land utilization rate, high cost of weed control, and difficulty in coordinated development of grain crops.

[0004] In the existing compound planting technology, a cultivation process for interplanting Zanthoxylum bungeanum and peppers is disclosed in patent application No. CN202010858986.1, the core of which is the interplanting of Zanthoxylum bungeanum and peppers, which only realizes the land reuse between economic crops and does not take into account grain production.

[0005] Patent application No. CN201811195890.0 discloses an interplanting method for Zanthoxylum bungeanum and red sage, which aims to improve the germination rate of red sage seedlings and does not involve the coordinated planting of grain crops.

[0006] Patent application No. CN202010211331.5 discloses an interplanting method for wheat, spinach, corn, and green manure.

[0007] Patent application No. CN201110179759.7 discloses a planting technology for interplanting wheat and winter melon, and corn.

[0008] Patent application No. CN201510134214.2 discloses a method for interplanting wheat and grapes. The above-mentioned patents are all for the interplanting of grain and economic crops or multiple crops, and do not solve the problems of symbiotic competition and yield coordination between Zanthoxylum bungeanum and grain crops.

[0009] (II) Analysis of the Technical Evolution Route

[0010] The evolution of Zanthoxylum bungeanum planting technology can be divided into two stages:

[0011] Single Zanthoxylum bungeanum planting stage: In the early stage of Zanthoxylum bungeanum planting, the pure forest mode was adopted, only focusing on the management of Zanthoxylum bungeanum fertilizer, water, and pruning, which had the defects of long idle period of land, rapid growth of weeds, and single yield per unit area. Excessive use of chemical fertilizers and herbicides can lead to soil degradation.

[0012] Zanthoxylum bungeanum and economic crop interplanting stage: with the increasing demand for land intensification, Zanthoxylum bungeanum interplanting techniques of economic crops such as peppers and red sage (e.g. CN111937667A, CN109089714A) appear, although the land utilization rate is improved, but the problem of food security and pepper farmer income offset is not solved, and no coordinated scheme is designed for the nutrient competition of Zanthoxylum bungeanum and interplanting crops.

[0013] Therefore, in order to solve the above technical problems, the technical scheme of the present application is provided. SUMMARY

[0014] The purpose of the present application is to provide a Zanthoxylum bungeanum garden grain economic composite planting method for saving cost and increasing efficiency, to solve the problems of low land utilization rate, difficult coordination of grain economic crops, and insufficient pepper farmer income in the market downturn period, and to achieve the comprehensive benefits of Zanthoxylum bungeanum yield increase, grain income increase, and cost reduction.

[0015] The technical scheme adopted by the present application is as follows:

[0016] A Zanthoxylum bungeanum garden grain economic composite planting method, comprising the following steps:

[0017] (1) Zanthoxylum bungeanum garden planting: Zanthoxylum bungeanum trees are planted at a plant row spacing of 2m x 3m or 3m x 4m, ensuring that 1 to 2m of cultivation space is reserved between the rows of the Zanthoxylum bungeanum garden and the upper branches are not closed;

[0018] (2) Interplanting area demarcation: demarcate the interplanting area in the garden soil 50 cm away from the Zanthoxylum bungeanum tree trunk;

[0019] (3) Interplanting area soil preparation: use a micro tiller to till the soil in the interplanting area, control the tillage depth to be less than 20 cm, and the closer to the Zanthoxylum bungeanum tree trunk, the shallower the tillage depth;

[0020] (4) Interplanting crop planting: plant shade-tolerant and short-stalk type grain crops in the interplanting area, the grain crops being early-maturing and disease-resistant potatoes, short-growth-period shade-tolerant soybeans, or shade-tolerant short-vine sweet potatoes;

[0021] (5) Field management: apply organic fertilizer and nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to the Zanthoxylum bungeanum garden, use physical methods for disease and pest control, and irrigate in a timely manner according to the growth periods of Zanthoxylum bungeanum and interplanting crops; through the above steps, the yield per mu of Zanthoxylum bungeanum is increased by more than 20%, at the same time, 50 kg of soybeans or 1200 kg of potatoes or 1000 kg of sweet potatoes are additionally harvested per mu, and 3 to 4 times of weeding are reduced per year.

[0022] Further, for the variety selection of interplanting crops, early-maturing and disease-resistant potato varieties with a growth period of 60 to 80 days, shade-tolerant and lodging-resistant soybean varieties with a growth period of 90 to 110 days, or short-vine sweet potato varieties are selected.

[0023] Further: for planting time, spring potato is planted when the soil temperature is stable at 5 to 8 DEG C, spring soybean is planted when the soil temperature is stable at 10 DEG C or more, and sweet potato is planted when the soil temperature is stable at 15 DEG C or more in spring.

[0024] Further: for fertilization scheme, 1.5 to 3 kg of balanced compound fertilizer is applied to the seedling period of pepper, 2000 to 3000 kg of mature farmyard manure and 30 to 40 kg of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer are applied per mu during the whole process of the whole process.

[0025] Further: for disease and pest control, the physical control method of yellow sticky board to kill aphids and black light lamp to kill moth adults is adopted, and low-toxicity pesticides are sprayed if necessary.

[0026] Further: for irrigation scheme, the seedling period of pepper is synchronized with the seedling period of the interplanting crop, and the interplanting crop is supplemented with water during the fruit expansion or pod setting period and is avoided to accumulate water.

[0027] Further: for suitable areas, the method is suitable for the suitable area of pepper below 2200 meters above sea level.

[0028] Further: for subsequent fertilization, the soil is shallowly turned after the interplanting crop is harvested, and organic fertilizer is supplemented, so that the soil nutrient cycle is realized.

[0029] Further: for special crop interplanting, the shade-tolerant angelica variety can be planted in the interplanting area, and the seedling of angelica needs to be soaked and disinfected with carbendazim liquid before planting.

[0030] Further: for pepper tree body cooperation, the dense branches of pepper need to be thinned when interplanting sweet potato, so that sweet potato can obtain 4 to 6 hours of light per day.

[0031] Further: for the requirements of crop rotation, the sweet potato is continuously interplanted in the same land block for no more than 2 years, and needs to be rotated with legume crops.

[0032] The core working principle of the application is space layering utilization + growth period coordination + nutrient complementation:

[0033] Space layering: the pepper tree is an upper layer high-stalk crop, which utilizes the upper layer light for photosynthesis; the interplanted potato, soybean and sweet potato are lower layer shade-tolerant crops, which utilize the scattered light under the forest to grow, and the 50 cm spacing of the tree trunk avoids the competition of root space.

[0034] Growth period coordination: the interplanting crops are sown at the seedling period of pepper, at which time the demand of pepper for nutrients is low, so that the competition for nutrients is avoided; the harvest period of the interplanting crops is staggered with the harvesting period of pepper, so that the labor contradiction is avoided.

[0035] Nutrient complementation: the synergistic application of organic fertilizer and nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer not only meets the long-term nutrient demand of Zanthoxylum bungeanum, but also adapts to the short-term nutrient demand of interplanting crops; straw returning of interplanting crops can supplement soil organic matter, and benefit the growth of Zanthoxylum bungeanum; and physical control avoids cross drug damage of pesticides to the two crops, and guarantees product quality.

[0036] In summary, due to the adoption of the technical solutions described above, the present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0037] 1. A method for saving cost and increasing efficiency in the compound planting of Zanthoxylum bungeanum and crops, which breaks through the technical bottleneck of "light and nutrient competition between Zanthoxylum bungeanum and crops", realizes the dual goals of Zanthoxylum bungeanum yield increase and crop yield increase, and achieves the unity of cost saving and ecological protection through optimization of planting density, selection of interplanting crop varieties, control of tillage depth gradient, water and fertilizer time sequence coordination and physical control linkage.

[0038] 2. In the present application, the yield per mu of Zanthoxylum bungeanum is increased by more than 20%, and the yield per mu of fresh Zanthoxylum bungeanum in the Han Yuan demonstration base reaches 576.9 kg, which is 25.4% higher than that of pure forest, and at the same time, 50 kg of soybeans or 1200 kg of potatoes or 1000 kg of sweet potatoes per mu are additionally harvested, realizing "one field with double harvest".

[0039] 3. In the present application, the frequency of weeding is reduced by 3 to 4 times per year, the cost of herbicides and manual weeding is reduced, and the yield per mu is increased by more than 3000 yuan.

[0040] 4. In the present application, the excessive use of chemical fertilizers and herbicides is reduced, the soil organic matter is increased, the microclimate under the forest is improved, the microbial population is promoted, and green ecological planting is realized.

[0089] II. Experimental example (verification of key technical parameters and universality)

[0090] Experimental example 1

[0091] Yield increase and benefit comparison test of different interplanting crop combinations:

[0092] 1. Test conditions

[0093] Test site: Songping Village, Huangmu Town, Han Yuan County (elevation 1650 m, main producing area of red pepper, meets the climate conditions for red pepper planting in DB51 / T2031-2023);

[0094] Test period: 2022-2024 (for 3 consecutive years);

[0095] Basic planting parameters: pepper planting density 2m x 3m, tree age 5 years, tillage depth 15cm (50cm away from the trunk), supporting physical prevention and control (frequency vibration type insecticidal lamp).

[0096] 2. Test design

[0097] 3 interplanting groups and 1 blank group, 3 repetitions per group, plot area 0.5 mu:

[0098] Group 1: pepper + Miramar potato (shade-tolerant early-maturing variety);

[0099] Group 2: pepper + white hair soybean (dwarf nitrogen-fixing variety);​

[0100] Group 3: Zanthoxylum bungeanum + Red Heart Sweet Potato (shallow-rooted and drought-tolerant variety);

[0101] Blank group: pure Zanthoxylum bungeanum forest (regular clean cultivation management).

[0102] Table 1 (test results of experimental example 1)

[0103]

[0112] 2. Test design

[0113] Four planting densities were set (in line with DB51 / T2031-2023 density interval), with three repetitions for each group:

[0114] Density 1: 2m x 3m (1111 plants / hm 2 );

[0115] Density 2: 3m x 3m (1000 plants / hm 2 );

[0116] Density 3: 3m x 4m (833 plants / hm 2 );

[0117] Density 4: 2m x 4m (1250 plants / hm 2 ).

[0118] Table 2 (test results of experimental example 2)

[0119]

[0120] 3. Conclusion

[0121] 3m x 4m planting density takes into account the growth space of Zanthoxylum bungeanum and the yield of intercropped crops, with the highest comprehensive output; although the 2m x 3m density has the highest yield per unit of Zanthoxylum bungeanum, the yield of intercropped crops is low due to light limitation, verifying the rationality of the "space layer utilization" parameters of the present technology.

[0127] Basic parameters: Zanthoxylum bungeanum planting density 3m x 4m, intercropped crop soybean.

[0128] 2. Test design

[0129] Four tillage depth gradients were set, with each plot area of 0.3 mu, repeated 3 times:

[0130] Gradient 1: shallow tillage (<10 cm) within 50 cm from the trunk, deep tillage (15 cm) outside 50 cm;

[0131] Gradient 2: shallow tillage (<10 cm) throughout the area;

[0132] Gradient 3: deep tillage (25 cm) throughout the area;

[0133] Control: no tillage (natural grass growth).

[0134] Table 3 (test results of Experimental Example 3)

[0135]

[0136] 3. Conclusion

[0137] The "gradient tillage" scheme of the present technology (shallow tillage near the trunk and moderate deep tillage far from the trunk) can improve soil moisture content and crop yield while protecting the root system, with the diameter growth of young trees increasing by 65.2% compared to the deep tillage group, verifying the technical advantages of fine management.
