秸秆还田后少耕对小麦/玉米间作系统中种间竞争和互补的影响

保护性耕作具有提高作物水分利用效率、减少能耗等优点,但能否将该技术集成应用于间作套种,尚需理论研究和具体实验依据。本研究通过2011至2012年度的田间定位试验,探讨不同耕作和秸秆还田方式对小麦间作玉米作物群体竞争、互补作用及产量的影响。试验设3种秸秆还田处理,分别是小麦带25 cm高茬收割立茬免耕(NTSS)、小麦带25 cm高茬等量秸秆覆盖免耕(NTS)及小麦带高茬等量秸秆还田翻压(TIS),以传统耕作(CT)为对照。秸秆还田后少耕间作的土地当量比高于传统耕作间作,且大于1,说明少耕小麦秸秆还田有利于提高间作优势;少耕秸秆还田降低了共生期小麦相对于玉米的竞争力,以NTS处理对小麦竞争力的影响最大,NTSS、NTS和TIS的小麦全生育期相对竞争力分别降低37%~54%、109%~141%和22%~24%。与单作玉米相比,NTSS、NTS、TIS和CT处理间作玉米的相对生长率分别高54%~59%、66%~71%、61%~63%和71%~78%,其中小麦秸秆还田间作处理中NTS更有利于发挥玉米的恢复效应。间作条件下,3种秸秆还田处理的产量较对照高6%~10%(2011年度)和4%~12%(2012年度),其中NTS增产显著。总体来看,间作群体籽粒产量与小麦相对于玉米全生育期的平均竞争力呈二次相关关系,当该竞争力在0.24~0.27时利于获得间作高产。本研究表明,秸秆还田配合少耕是调控种间竞争力的可行途径,其中小麦等量秸秆(小麦留茬25 cm)还田覆盖是优化小麦玉米竞争力的理想耕作措施。     

半湿润区免耕覆盖对土壤水分、温度及作物产量的影响

以半湿润区冬小麦－夏玉米一年两熟种植制度为研究对象,设置传统耕作(T0)、免耕无秸秆覆盖(T1)和免耕秸秆覆盖(T2)3个处理,研究不同耕作和秸秆覆盖方式对土壤水分、土壤温度和作物生长的影响及其在不同作物季节的功能差异。结果表明冬小麦季免耕覆盖(T2)和不覆盖(T1)处理0-60 cm土壤含水量都高于传统耕作(T0)处理,但免耕处理T1和T2只在表层土壤含水量存在显著差异,说明秸秆覆盖对表层土壤保水效果明显。免耕覆盖降低了土壤表层温度(T2相似文献   

长期间作及免耕对土壤物理性状及作物产量的影响

不同保墒耕作措施对小麦、玉米耗水特征及周年水分利用的影响

为探明土壤结构改良与保墒耕作措施对小麦、玉米周年水分利用的作用机制。采用田间试验,研究了常规耕作、秸秆还田、保水剂、有机肥、免耕、深松、深松+秸秆覆盖等措施对小麦、玉米生长过程中的耗水特征、光合特征及周年水分利用的影响。结果表明:深松+秸秆覆盖在小麦生育期内储水量较高。从小麦播种-返青期,深松+秸秆覆盖处理的耗水量最低。而在返青-拔节期,该处理最大,而其在孕穗-抽穗期的耗水量却最低。在拔节-孕穗期,保水剂处理的耗水量最大,而在抽穗-灌浆期,其耗水量最小。在灌浆-收获期,秸秆还田和保水剂处理的耗水量较其他处理低。在玉米整个生育期内,保水剂和免耕处理的耗水量较其他处理低。不同措施改善了小麦和玉米的光合生理特征,促进了小麦、玉米产量和水分利用率的提高。各处理中,以免耕处理的小麦产量和水分生产效率最高,分布较常规耕作提高了18.3%和20.0%。以秸秆还田处理的玉米产量和水分生产效率最高,分别较常规耕作提高了21.6%和23.8%。而深松处理的小麦-玉米复合产量最高,其次为免耕处理,其分别较常规耕作处理增产14.9%和14.3%。而深松+秸秆覆盖处理和免耕处理的总水分生产效率较其他处理高,分别较常规耕作处理提高了18.5%和18.1%。说明深松和免耕处理更利于小麦、玉米周年节水增产。     

Yield and water consumption characteristics of wheat/maize intercropping with reduced tillage in an Oasis region

Higher irrigation quota for conventional farming causes substantial conflicts between water supply and demand in agriculture, and wind erosion near soil surface is one of the major causes of farmland degradation and desertification in arid areas. This research investigated the effect of the amounts of irrigation in combination with tillage practices on soil evaporation (E), water consumption (ET) characteristics, and grain yield performance and water use efficiency (WUE) for wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) intercropped with maize (Zea mays L.) in strip planting in an Oasis region. The field experiment, conducted at Wuwei station during 2008–2010, had two tillage systems (reduced tillage with wheat stubble retention vs. conventional tillage without stubble retention), and three (low, medium, and high) levels of irrigation, in a randomized complete block design. Averaged across three years, soil evaporation with medium and high levels of irrigation was 6.8% and 5.4% greater than that with low level of irrigation, respectively. Total water consumption of wheat/maize crops under the medium and high irrigation levels was 8.5% and 18.5% greater, respectively, than that under low irrigation. However, grain yields were similar under the medium and high levels of irrigation, so was WUE. The effect of tillage on the wheat/maize intercropping was inconsistent across years or among treatments: soil moisture at harvest was 3.0–7.6% greater in the fields with reduced tillage compared with those with conventional tillage in 2008 and 2009, but no difference was found in 2010; the E/ET ratio of reduced tillage was 9% lower than the ratio under conventional tillage in 2008, 3% higher in 2010, but no difference between the two tillage systems in 2009. Across three years, there was a general trend that the WUE of the wheat/maize intercropping system with reduced tillage was greater (by 4–11%) than that with conventional tillage. We conclude that a medium level of irrigation is sufficient to achieve crop yields and WUE equivalent to those under high level of irrigation, provided that a reduced tillage practice is applied to the wheat/maize intercropping in Oasis areas.     

高麦茬覆盖复播效应及技术研究

高麦茬覆盖复播技术,是在机械收获后在的高茬麦田,通过人工撒种、施耕机施耕等作业环节,达到灭茬、播种、覆盖的目的。这种复播方式既有蓄水保墒、调控地温、培肥改土、抑制杂草等土壤环境效应,又有促进夏作物生长发育、提高产量的生物学效应。与常规耕作复播相比,每公顷增产夏玉米１２７５ｋｇ、夏 大豆８２６．５ｋｇ,增产率分别为２９．１％和３３．１％。     

耕作方式与秸秆还田对冬小麦–夏玉米轮作系统中干物质生产和水分利用效率的影响

为探讨黄淮海地区一年两熟制下土壤耕作方式与秸秆还田相结合的适宜模式,2010—2012年进行了两年度的田间试验,研究不同处理对冬小麦–夏玉米轮作系统干物质生产和水分利用效率的影响。通过比较常规耕作+秸秆还田、常规耕作+无秸秆还田、深耕+秸秆还田、深耕+无秸秆还田、深松+秸秆还田、深松+无秸秆还田6个处理,发现深松(耕)与秸秆还田可以增加冬小麦和夏玉米的农田耗水量,降低休闲期农田耗水量,提高作物叶片相对含水量、净光合速率、蒸腾速率和茎秆伤流量,促进植株干物质积累,进而提高作物籽粒产量和水分利用效率。耕作方式与秸秆还田对冬小麦和夏玉米的干物质生产和水分利用效率存在显著交互作用。与常规耕作+无秸秆还田相比,深耕+秸秆还田和深松+秸秆还田处理的作物干物质积累量分别提高19.3%和22.9%,周年作物产量分别提高18.0%和19.3%,水分利用效率分别提高15.9%和15.1%,且两处理无显著差异。因此认为,与本试验相似环境条件下,宜在秸秆还田的基础上配合深松或深耕。     

Effects of different soil conservation tillage approaches on soil nutrients,water use and wheat-maize yield in rainfed dry-land regions of North China

Excessive tillage compromises soil quality by causing severe water shortages that can lead to crop failure. Reports on the effects of conservation tillage on major soil nutrients, water use efficiency and gain yield in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and maize (Zea mays L.) in rainfed regions in the North China Plain are relatively scarce. In this work, four tillage approaches were tested from 2004 to 2012 in a randomized study performed in triplicate: one conventional tillage and three conservation tillage experiments with straw mulching (no tillage during wheat and maize seasons, subsoiling during the maize season but no tillage during the wheat season, and ridge planting during both wheat and maize seasons). Compared with conventional tillage, by 2012, eight years of conservation tillage treatments (no tillage, subsoiling and ridge planting) resulted in a significant increase in available phosphorus in topsoil (0–0.20 m), by 3.8%, 37.8% and 36.9%, respectively. Soil available potassium was also increased following conservation tillage, by 13.6%, 37.5% and 25.0%, and soil organic matter by 0.17%, 5.65% and 4.77%, while soil total nitrogen was altered by −2.33%, 4.21% and 1.74%, respectively. Meanwhile, all three conservation tillage approaches increased water use efficiency, by 19.1–28.4% (average 24.6%), 10.1–23.8% (average 15.9%) and 11.2–20.7% (average 15.7%) in wheat, maize and annual, respectively. Additionally, wheat yield was increased by 7.9–12.0% (average 10.3%), maize yield by 13.4–24.6% (average 17.4%) and rotation annual yield by 12.3–16.9% (average 14.1%). Overall, our findings demonstrate that subsoiling and ridge planting with straw mulching performed better than conventional tillage for enhancing major soil nutrients and improving grain yield and water use efficiency in rainfed regions in the North China Plain.     

西南“旱三熟”地区不同保护性耕作措施对农田土壤生态效应及生产效益的影响

针对我国西南地区旱作农田土层浅薄、水土流失严重、季节性干旱多发等问题,以常规平作(T)、垄作(R)、平作+秸秆覆盖(TS)、垄作+秸秆覆盖(RS)、平作+秸秆覆盖+腐熟剂(TSD)、垄作+秸秆覆盖+腐熟剂(RSD) 6种措施作为处理,连续2年进行大田对比试验,研究不同保护性耕作措施对西南“旱三熟”种植区农田土壤生态要素、产量和水分利用效率的影响。结果表明, 保护性耕作措施可以有效地改善土壤有机质和养分状况,且对酸性土壤有一定的改良作用,其中有秸秆覆盖的4个处理显著增加了土壤有机质、全氮、全钾、碱解氮含量;可改善土壤水分状况,增强作物的抗旱节水能力,各处理0~80 cm土层2年平均贮水量排序为：RSD (258.82 mm) > TSD (252.40 mm) > RS (250.19 mm) > TS (246.66 mm) > R (239.19 mm) > T (235.87 mm);可降低7月份表层土壤温度,缓解夏季高温对玉米后期生长发育造成的伤害,其中有秸秆覆盖的4个处理对5 cm和10 cm土层温度有显著降低效应;可抑制杂草生长,具有良好的控草效应,其中TS、RS、TSD、RSD处理的杂草高度、密度和生物量均比T和R有极显著下降;可促进蚯蚓的繁殖和生长,使农田生态环境得到明显改善。总体来看,秸秆覆盖措施可以改善土壤肥力,并具有增加土壤贮水、调节土壤温度、控制农田杂草和促进蚯蚓生长的作用,垄作和腐熟剂在增加土壤贮水方面有明显效果。保护性耕作模式显著提高了作物的产量和水分利用效率,增加了经济收益。2年系统平均产量和水分利用效率排序为：RSD>RS>TSD>TS>R>T(CK),总产值和纯收入排序为RS>RSD>TSD>R>TS>T(CK)。在各处理中以RSD、RS两种模式的综合效果最好,在西南“旱三熟”种植区具有很好的推广前景。     

Studies on Maize-Legume Intercropping and their Residual Effects on Soil Fertility Status and Succeeding Crop in Upland Situation

To examine the advantages of cereal-legume intercropping system with maize as main crops, field studies conducted for two years on sandy upland loamy soils in Bihar plateau, India, indicated maize-groundnut as the best system. Yield advantages were noticed between 22–44 % over sole maize cropping. Different production indices largely indicated the same pattern in ranking intercropping treatments. Of the other legumes used, mung also showed potential whereas cowpea and soyabean did not. Increasing cropping intensities through use of interspace by legume did not significantly reduce maize yield, particularly in combination with groundnut and mung. Soil nitrogen enrichment through legume cultivation could be noted through examination of soil test values and yield of succeeding wheat crop. Wheat, however, did not show its promise as a follow-up crop without input of water and fertilizer.     

Straw management, crop rotation, and nitrogen source effect on wheat grain yield and nitrogen use efficiency

Nitrogen fertilizer management from different sources and annual crop rotations are important components of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production systems, especially where air and soil quality issues have prompted a search for alternatives to wheat straw burning. This study examined the effects of two different wheat straw management options (burning and incorporation by tillage), three crop rotations [wheat-sesbania (Sesbania spp.), wheat–maize (Zea mays L.), and wheat-clean fallow] and three N sources (urea, chicken manure, and urea plus chicken manure) on wheat grain yield and N use efficiency. The experiment was conducted as split–split plot treatment arrangement with three replications for eight wheat cropping seasons in the state of Sonora, Mexico. Results indicated that both wheat grain yield and N use efficiency were higher with burning than incorporation of wheat straw and with fertilization with urea or urea plus chicken manure than chicken manure alone. As shown by the crop rotation-by-straw management interaction, planting sesbania following incorporation of the straw by tillage produced comparable grain yields to straw burning treatment. In contrast, wheat in annual rotation with maize produced the lowest wheat grain yield and N use efficiency irrespective of the wheat straw management and N source applied.     

Responses of soil properties,root growth and crop yield to tillage and crop residue management in a wheat–maize cropping system on the North China Plain

Crop residue removal and subsoil compaction are limiting to yield improvement in the North China Plain (NCP). We conducted a field study composed of six consecutive crop growing seasons from 2010 to 2013 in Henan province, China, to determine responses of soil properties, crop root distribution and crop yield to tillage and residue management in a wheat–maize cropping system under irrigated conditions. Tillage practices comprised mouldboard ploughing (MP) to a depth of 15-cm, deep mouldboard ploughing (DMP) to a depth of 30-cm, and chisel ploughing (CP) to a depth of 30-cm. Crop residue management included crop residue retained (CRRet) and crop residue removed (CRRem). The results indicated that yields in DMP and CP increased by 6.0% and 7.3% for wheat and by 8.7% and 9.0% for maize, respectively, relative to MP. The CRRet treatment also increased wheat yield by 6.7% and maize yield by 5.0%. The yield increases under DMP and CP were related to reduced bulk density and soil penetration resistance, increased soil water content, improved total N distribution and improved root density (0–60-cm). Compared with MP, the root mass density under DMP and CP were increased by 43.4% and 42.0% for wheat and by 40.6% and 39.4% for maize, respectively. The yield increases under CRRet were also related to increased soil water content, reduced penetration resistance and increased N status (0–40-cm). Overall, for DMP + CRRet and CP + CRRet, a more favorable soil environment alongside greater root mass density and suitable spatial distribution resulted in higher grain yields of wheat and maize. Thus, compared with conventional shallow tillage practice, DMP or CP with residue application could improve soil quality and agricultural productivity under irrigated areas with loam soil in the NCP.     

The Effect of Mulching,Tillage and Rotation on Yield in Non‐flooded Compared with Flooded Rice Production

Non‐flooded rice cultivation has been proven to be an effective measure to reduce water consumption in drought areas of Southeast China. However, rice cultivation under non‐flooded conditions leads to less stable productivity and lower grain yield. The objectives of this study were (1) to compare crop performance and yields among flooded and non‐flooded rice over several seasons, (2) to identify the yield performed in non‐flooded rice systems over seasons and whether the options which included no‐tillage, straw mulching and wet‐dry rotation system can narrow the grain yield gap between non‐flooded and traditional flooded condition. The results showed the difference between flooded rice (F) and non‐flooded rice (NF) with straw mulching was much lower than the difference between F and NF without straw mulching. Within late seasons, the difference of aboveground total biomass between non‐flooded rice without mulching and flooded rice gradually widened as the number of cropping seasons increased. Compared with the non‐flooded rice without mulching, straw mulching can reduce the decline of aboveground total biomass and grain yield. The yield difference between F and NF treatments became smaller in no‐tillage plots than complete tillage plots. It suggested that no‐tillage can keep the crop production more stable. In comparison with continuously non‐flooded cultivation, our study indicated that the wet‐dry rotation system can reduce the yield decline under non‐flooded condition.     

秸秆覆盖深松对夏玉米田土壤有机碳库的影响

为探究秸秆覆盖深松对土壤有机碳库的影响,采用4种耕作模式处理（深松覆盖、深松不盖、免耕覆盖、免耕不盖）在河南西平进行了连续3年田间试验,研究了不同处理对土壤中有机碳（SOC）、易氧化有机碳（ROC）和溶解性有机碳（DOC）含量的影响。结果表明,4种耕作模式下,SOC、ROC和DOC含量均随着土层的加深而降低;在0~5cm和5~10cm土层,秸秆覆盖处理下SOC、ROC和DOC含量高于不覆盖处理,表现为深松覆盖>免耕覆盖>深松不盖>免耕不盖;而从10~20cm土层以下,免耕处理下SOC、ROC和DOC含量急剧下降,表现为深松覆盖>深松不盖>免耕覆盖>免耕不盖。相关性分析表明,ROC、DOC含量与SOC含量之间分别存在显著和极显著的相关关系,说明土壤ROC和DOC的含量很大程度上与SOC的储量相关。     

不同耕作措施对麦田土壤碳储量和作物水氮利用效率的影响

为了探索耕作措施和秸秆还田对麦田土壤碳氮水的动态变化的影响,在田间定位试验的基础上,通过深耕(T1)、深耕+秸秆还田(T2)、浅耕(T3)、浅耕+秸秆还田(T4)4种不同耕作方式处理,对麦田碳储量、土壤含水量、全氮含量以及作物水氮利用效率的变化进行了研究。结果表明,秸秆还田在不同时期对土壤碳储量有一定的影响,与播前土壤有机碳储量相比,0~20 cm土层各处理在越冬期有较高的有机碳储量,20~40 cm土层则于拔节期有机碳储量达到最大值,40~60 cm土层除T1处理,其他处理皆为拔节期最大。综合来看,在整个生育期有机碳储量均表现为秸秆还田处理大于秸秆不还田处理。深耕处理提高了小麦生育前期的土壤含水量,T2处理的作物耗水量比T4处理高4.2%;秸秆还田提高了作物的水分利用效率,T2的水分利用效率、灌溉水利用效率分别比浅耕加秸秆还田高24.9%,27.6%。除开花期,T1处理的植株含氮量高于浅耕处理,T2处理能够显著提高冬小麦氮素积累量,较不还田处理提高了44%;T1处理的氮素利用效率比浅耕处理高57.2%。秸秆还田处理在生育前期抑制了小麦的生长,但后期促进了植株干物质量的积累。秸秆还田有利于穗粒数的提高,从而提高产量,T2处理较T3处理产量提高了22.1%,较T1处理增产6.7%;T1处理较T3处理增产14.4%。因此,秸秆还田和深耕有助于提高土壤碳储量,提高水分和氮素利用效率,进而提高作物产量。     

灌溉与供磷对复合群体作物根系的调控及其产量效应

利用大田和管栽试验结合的方法,选择小麦/玉米/马铃薯和小麦/玉米两种间作模式,对灌溉与供磷条件下间作群体中作物根系时空分布的特征进行了研究。结果表明,适当的干旱有利于根系的下扎和产量的提高,严重干旱大大地降低了带田小麦和玉米的根量和产量;供磷促进根系的下扎,增加根重。供磷与不供磷相比,在小麦拔节期(玉米三叶期)小麦总根量平均高出94.66%,玉米高出67.67%;小麦灌浆期(玉米大喇叭口期)小麦高出42.08%,玉米高出124.13%;小麦收获后(玉米灌浆期) 小麦高出82.58%,玉米高出61.61%。大田试验结果表明,经济产量以中灌（1050 m3 /hm2·次）和高磷（150 kg纯P2O5/hm2）处理最高。     

玉米–大豆带状套作行距配置对作物生物量、根系形态及产量的影响

空间配置是影响间作套种作物生长和产量构成的关键因素之一。本研究固定玉米–大豆套作带宽200 cm,玉米采用宽窄行种植,设置4个玉米窄行行距为20 cm(A1)、40 cm(A2)、60 cm(A3)和80 cm(A4)套作处理,2个玉米和大豆净作对照处理,研究行距配置对套作系统中玉米和大豆生物量、根系及产量的影响。结果表明,套作大豆冠层光合有效辐射和红光/远红光比值均低于净作,且随着玉米窄行的增加而降低。套作系统中大豆地上地下生物量、总根长、根表面积和根体积从第三节龄期(V3)到盛花期(R2)逐渐增加,但随着玉米窄行的增加而降低。套作玉米地上地下生物量从抽雄期到成熟期逐渐增加,根体积却逐渐降低,但这些参数随玉米窄行的变宽而增加。玉米和大豆在带状套作系统中产量均低于净作,且随玉米窄行的变宽,玉米产量逐渐增加,2012和2013两年最大值平均为6181 kg hm–2,而大豆产量逐渐降低,两年最大值平均为1434 kg hm–2,产量变化与有效株数和粒数变化密切相关。此外,玉米–大豆带状套作群体土地当量比(LER)大于1.3,最大值出现在A2处理,分别为1.59(2012年)和1.61(2013年),且最大经济收益也出现在A2处理(2年每公顷平均收益为1.93万元)。因此,合理的行距配置对玉米–大豆带状套作系统中作物的生长、产量构成和群体效益具有重要的作用。     

轮耕对豫南雨养区夏玉米叶片衰老代谢及产量的影响

为了寻求豫南雨养区适宜的土壤耕作制度,秸秆处理方式设连续4年秸秆覆盖还田与秸秆清除2个处理,土壤耕作方式设4年间隔深松、4年免耕、3年深松+1年免耕和3年免耕+1年深松4个处理,共8个处理组合,研究秸秆处理和基本土壤耕作方式对夏玉米生育后期叶片衰老代谢及籽粒产量的影响。结果表明,秸秆覆盖还田和连续3年深松基础上免耕、连续3年免耕基础上深松处理,可以提高玉米穗位叶叶绿素含量和SOD、POD、CAT活性,降低MDA含量,延缓衰老进程,提高花后干物质生产量、经济系数和籽粒产量。秸秆覆盖还田比不盖还田产量平均提高10.68%;3年深松后1年免耕比4年深松平均增产2.60%;3年免耕后1年深松比4年免耕增产4.21%;秸秆覆盖还田结合3年深松后1年免耕比4年免耕秸秆不还田增产23.32%。多因素方差分析表明,秸秆处理方式和耕作方式及其两者的互作对产量都有显著影响。     

耕作与保墒措施对小麦不同生育阶段水分利用及产量的影响

为探明不同耕作与保墒措施下冬小麦不同生育阶段的水分利用特征,采用田间试验,研究了普通耕作、深松、秸秆覆盖、保水剂、有机肥等措施对小麦不同生育阶段的耗水量、干物质积累量、水分利用及产量等的影响。结果表明,在小麦不同生育阶段均以秸秆覆盖和深松处理的保墒、储水效果较佳。在小麦整个生育期中,有机肥处理的耗水量最大,而深松和秸秆覆盖处理较少。在小麦拔节期前,有机肥处理更利于干物质的积累;在小麦拔节-孕穗期,以保水剂和深松处理积累的干物质量较高。孕穗期以后,秸秆覆盖处理的干物质积累量均高于其他处理,且秸秆覆盖处理在小麦全生育期的干物质积累量也较高。除返青-拔节期和孕穗-扬花期外,小麦不同生育阶段的水分利用效率均以秸秆覆盖处理最高,且其产量和水分生产效率均高于其他处理,其产量较普通耕作提高了50.9%,水分生产效率提高了11.7 kg/(mm·hm~2)。综上所述,秸秆覆盖处理较其他措施更能有效地改善小麦不同生育阶段的水分环境,从而促进小麦产量和水分利用率的提高。     

Impacts of long-term jujube tree/winter wheat–summer maize intercropping on soil fertility and economic efficiency—A case study in the lower North China Plain

Agroforesry is a common traditional practice in China, especially in the saline-alkaline regions, like the lower North China Plain (LNCP) characterized by lower yields of food crops. Adding trees to the agricultural land creates additional fruitsets or woody biomass besides food crops, enabling farmers to diversify the provision of farm commodities. However, the productivity of many agroforestry systems has been lower than expected in recent years, highlighting the need for a mechanistic understanding of below- or above-ground interactions. The study combined investigation and experimental data together to evaluate the effects of long-term intercropping agroforestry system [jujube tree (Zizyphus jujuba Mill. var. inermis (Bunge) Rehd.)/winter wheat–summer maize] on soil fertility balance, crop production and system economic efficiency over the past 22 years in LNCP, with a view to developing an effective fertilization management for the moderately alkaline soils. Except remain higher pH, the soils are basically free of sodic and soil salinity is not the major restriction factor for intercrops, even through there are some fluctuation with season and distance from jujube tree. The intercropping system significantly reduced soil nutrient contents, like soil organic C (SOC), total N (TN), available P (avail. P) and K (avail. K) in most parts of the ecotone of the system, but increased those nutrients in the belt of underneath the edge of tree canopy, The growth of intercrops at the belt of 3.5 m from tree was severely negative stressed by jujube tree in term of lower soil moisture, nitrate, avail. P and K although receiving more photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), whereas the winter wheat growing at the 2.5 m row had more water and nutrients supplied and thus produced more grain yield. Uneven fertilization to the ecotone (about 1–2.5 m of the intercrop field boundary) could partly offset the consumption and competition for nutrients between the tree and the intercrops, and improved the grain yields by 12.1% and 14.5% in the ecotone regions (distance from jujube trees) of 1.5 m for winter wheat and 2.5 m for summer maize by increasing respective yield components. Although the mean grain yield of intercropped winter wheat and summer maize was reduced by 35.6 and 35.2%, respectively, compared to sole cropping system, the intercropping system proved to be a profitable land use type based on net income and economic returns, in addition to the wood and ecological benefits of the jujube tree in the moderate desalinate- alkaline regions.
