| Abstract: |
| Considering the current status of soil erosion, desertification and groundwater depletion, as well as the advantage of intercropping between trees and crops, we selected peanut, millet, sweet potato, and kernel-apricot to construct intercropping systems and investigated their effect on soil water content and crop growth in dry farmland of the Southern Kerqin Sandy Land. Results showed that there are different levels of negative effects of soil water in different points (W2, W1, T0, E1, E2) under different systems. Tree-crop intercropping can preserve the surface soil moisture, whereas there existed competition between kernel-apricot and crops, with 40～60 cm being the most severest and the order of competition degree being potato>millet>peanut. Yields of peanut, millet, and sweet potato in the intercropping system were decrease by 70.7%, 63.3%, and 64.0% as compared to monocropping. |
