Soybean maize strip intercropping:A solution for maintaining food security in China

The practice of intercropping leguminous and gramineous crops is used for promoting sustainable agriculture,optimizing resource utilization,enhancing biodiversity,and reducing reliance on petroleum products.However,promoting conventional intercropping strategies in modern agriculture can prove challenging.The innovative technology of soybean maize strip intercropping(SMSI)has been proposed as a solution.This system has produced remarkable results in improving domestic soybean and maize production for both food security and sustainable agriculture.In this article,we provide an overview of SMSI and explain how it differs from traditional intercropping.We also discuss the core principles that foster higher yields and the prospects for its future development.

Assessment of Nitrogen Fixation, Uptake, and Leaching in Maize/Soybean Intercropping System at Varied Soil Depths and under Phosphorus Application in Chinese Agricultural Settings

The study of Nitrogen fixation, uptake, and leaching at different soil depths in the co-cultivation of maize and soybean under phosphorus fertilization is important for sustainable agriculture. This study was conducted in Quzhou, Hebei Province, China, with MC812 maize and Jidou12 soybean varieties. Soil samples were taken from each plot to create a composite sample. The results show that nitrogen concentration varies at different depths and is higher in all treatments between 40 and 100 cm. Incorporating intercropping of maize and soybeans into farming practices can lead to more sustainable and environmentally friendly agriculture in China.

Assessing the Influence of Phosphorus Fertilization on the Growth and Yield of Maize/Soybean Intercrop by Analyzing Nitrogen Uptake

Intercropping, particularly the combination of maize and soybeans, has been widely recognized for its potential to improve nitrogen uptake and promote sustainable agriculture. This study examines the patterns of nitrogen uptake in maize and soybean intercropping systems under different growth stages and phosphorus fertilization levels and investigates the influence of nitrogen uptake on growth parameters such as plant height, leaf area, and biomass accumulation in the maize/soybean intercrop under different phosphorus fertilization regimes. The study also collected chlorophyll samples at different growth stages of maize in monoculture and intercropping with maize or soybean. The results showed that plant height was greater in V10 in both fertilized and unfertilized treatments for intercropped maize and soybean, and chlorophyll concentration was higher in VT intercropped maize. The results also showed a higher accumulation of biomass. Understanding the growth dynamics of these plants in monoculture and intercropping systems and the impact of fertilization practices is crucial for optimizing crop productivity and sustainability in agricultural systems.

Soil mineral nitrogen and yield-scaled soil N2O emissions lowered by reducing nitrogen application and intercropping with soybean for sweet maize production in southern China

The increasing demand for fresh sweet maize （Zea mays L. saccharata） in southern China has prioritized the need to find solutions to the environmental pollution caused by its continuous production and high inputs of chemical nitrogen fertilizers. A promising method for improving crop production and environmental conditions is to intercrop sweet maize with legumes. Here, a three-year field experiment was conducted to assess the influence of four different cropping systems （sole sweet maize （SS）, sole soybean （SB）, two rows sweet maize-three rows soybean （S2B3） intercropping, and two rows sweet maize-four rows soybean （S2B4） intercropping）, together with two rates of N fertilizer application （300 and 360 kg N ha-1） on grain yield, residual soil mineral N, and soil N2O emissions in southern China. Results showed that in most case, inter- cropping achieved yield advantages （total land equivalent ratio （TLER=0.87-1.25） was above one）. Moreover, intercropping resulted in 39.8% less soil mineral N than SS at the time of crop harvest, averaged over six seasons （spring and autumn in each of the three years of the field experiment）. Generally, intercropping and reduced-N application （300 kg N ha-1） produced lower cumulative soil N20 and yield-scaled soil N20 emissions than SS and conventionaI-N application （360 kg N ha-l）, respectively. $2B4 intercropping with reduced-N rate （300 kg N ha-~） showed the lowest cumulative soil N20 （mean value=0.61 kg ha-1） and yield-scaled soil N20 （mean value=0.04 kg t-1） emissions. Overall, intercropping with reduced-N rate maintained sweet maize production, while also reducing environmental impacts. The system of S2B4 intercropping with reduced-N rate may be the most sustainable and environmentally friendly cropping system.

Effects of Intercropping Patterns on Dry Matter Accumulation and Transportation of Maize(Zea mays L.) and Soybean[Glycine max(L.) Merrill]

[Objective] The aim was to discuss the group dry matter accumulation and economic benefits under the patterns of intercropping maize （Zea mays L.） with soy-bean [Glycine max （L.） Merril ]. [Methods] Zhengdan-958 and Luhuang-1 were used as the testing breeds to study the effects of intercropping patterns on dry matter accumulation and transportation of maize and soybean in Huang-huai-hai. [Results] For maize, the dry matter accumulation amounts per hectare of intercropping was significant higher than that of the monoculture patterns, especial y after silking, when it reached extremely level; while for soybean, the dry matter accumulation amounts before flowering and after flowering of monocropping were al significantly higher than that of the intercropping patterns. For both maize and soybean, the transfer amounts of monocropping were al significantly or extremely significantly higher than that of intercropping; and the transfer ratio of maize intercropping was 0.59% higher than that of maize monocropping, while for soybean, it was 4.74% higher. Fitted dry matter accumulation with Logistic equation, it showed that the difference in maximum dry matter accumulation rate between maize monocropping and intercropping reached significant level, while for soybean, the maximum dry matter accumulation rate and its appearance time as wel as duration time between intercropping and monocropping were al reached significant level. The total land equivalent ratio of intercropping was 1.30. From yield and output value, the total yield of intercropping were 10.97 t/hm2, 0.64% and 326.85% higher than monocropping of maize and soy-bean, respectively. The total output value of intercropping was 25 796.23 yuan/hm2, respectively 12.67% and 104.68% higher than of maize and soybean monocropping. [Conclusion] The study lays a basis for improving grain yield and economic benefits.

Maize-soybean strip intercropping： Achieved a balance between high productivity and sustainability

Intercropping is one of the most vital practice to improve land utilization rate in China that has limited arable land resource. However, the traditional intercropping systems have many disadvantages including illogical field lay-out of crops, low economic value, and labor deficiency, which cannot balance the crop production and agricultural sustainability. In view of this, we developed a novel soybean strip intercropping model using maize as the partner, the regular maize-soybean strip intercropping mainly popularized in northern China and maize-soybean relay-strip intercropping principally extended in southwestern China. Compared to the traditional maize-soybean intercropping systems, the main innovation of field lay-out style in our present intercropping systems is that the distance of two adjacent maize rows are shrunk as a narrow strip, and a strip called wide strip between two adjacent narrow strips is expanded reserving for the growth of two or three rows of soybean plants. The distance between outer rows of maize and soybean strips are expanded enough for light use efficiency improvement and tractors working in the soybean strips. Importantly, optimal cultivar screening and increase of plant density achieved a high yield of both the two crops in the intercropping systems and increased land equivalent ratio as high as 2.2. Annually alternative rotation of the adjacent maize-and soybean-strips increased the grain yield of next seasonal maize, improved the absorption of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potasium of maize, while prevented the continuous cropping obstacles. Extra soybean production was obtained without affecting maize yield in our strip intercropping systems, which balanced the high crop production and agricultural sustainability.

Suitability of the DNDC model to simulate yield production and nitrogen uptake for maize and soybean intercropping in the North China Plain

Intercropping is an important agronomic practice. However, assessment of intercropping systems using field experiments is often limited by time and cost. In this study, the suitability of using the DeNitrification DeComposition(DNDC) model to simulate intercropping of maize(Zea mays L.) and soybean(Glycine max L.) and its aftereffect on the succeeding wheat(Triticum aestivum L.) crop was tested in the North China Plain. First, the model was calibrated and corroborated to simulate crop yield and nitrogen(N) uptake based on a field experiment with a typical double cropping system. With a wheat crop in winter, the experiment included five treatments in summer: maize monoculture, soybean monoculture, intercropping of maize and soybean with no N topdressing to maize(N0), intercropping of maize and soybean with 75 kg N ha–1topdressing to maize(N75), and intercropping of maize and soybean with 180 kg N ha–1topdressing to maize(N180). All treatments had 45 kg N ha–1as basal fertilizer. After calibration and corroboration, DNDC was used to simulate long-term(1955 to 2012) treatment effects on yield. Results showed that DNDC could stringently capture the yield and N uptake of the intercropping system under all N management scenarios, though it tended to underestimate wheat yield and N uptake under N0 and N75. Long-term simulation results showed that N75 led to the highest maize and soybean yields per unit planting area among all treatments, increasing maize yield by 59% and soybean yield by 24%, resulting in a land utilization rate 42% higher than monoculture. The results suggest a high potential to promote soybean production by intercropping soybean with maize in the North China Plain, which will help to meet the large national demand for soybean.

Effects of maize-soybean relay intercropping on crop nutrient uptake and soil bacterial community

Maize-soybean relay intercropping is an effective approach to improve the crop yield and nutrient use efficiency,which is widely practiced by farmers in southwest of China.To elucidate the characteristics of different planting patterns on crop nutrient uptake,soil chemical properties,and soil bacteria community in maize-soybean relay intercropping systems,we conducted a field experiment in 2015–2016 with single factor treatments,including monoculture maize(MM),monoculture soybean(MS),maize-soybean relay intercropping(IMS),and fallow(CK).The results showed that the N uptake of maize grain increased in IMS compared with MM.Compared with MS,the yield and uptake of N,P,and K of soybean grain were increased by 25.5,24.4,9.6,and 22.4%in IMS,respectively,while the N and K uptakes in soybean straw were decreased in IMS.The soil total nitrogen,available phosphorus,and soil organic matter contents were significantly higher in IMS than those of the corresponding monocultures and CK.Moreover,the soil protease,soil urease,and soil nitrate reductase activities in IMS were higher than those of the corresponding monocultures and CK.The phyla Proteobacteria,Acidobacteria,Chloroflexi,and Actinobacteria dominated in all treatments.Shannon’s index in IMS was higher than that of the corresponding monocultures and CK.The phylum Proteobacteria proportion was positively correlated with maize soil organic matter and soybean soil total nitrogen content,respectively.These results indicated that the belowground interactions increased the crop nutrient(N and P)uptake and soil bacterial community diversity,both of which contributed to improved soil nutrient management for legume-cereal relay intercropping systems.

Relay-intercropping soybean with maize maintains soil fertility and increases nitrogen recovery efficiency by reducing nitrogen input

Optimized nitrogen(N)management can increase N-use efficiency in intercropping systems.Legume-nonlegume intercropping systems can reduce N input by exploiting biological N fixation by legumes.Measurement of N utilization can help in dissecting the mechanisms underlying N uptake and utilization in legume-nonlegume intercropping systems.An experiment was performed with three planting patterns:monoculture maize(MM),monoculture soybean(SS),and maize-soybean relay intercropping(IMS),and three N application levels:zero N(NN),reduced N(RN),and conventional N(CN)to investigate crop N uptake and utilization characteristics.N recovery efficiency and 15N recovery rate of crops were higher under RN than under CN,and those under RN were higher under intercropping than under the corresponding monocultures.Compared with MM,IMS showed a lower soil N-dependent rate(SNDR)in 2012.However,the SNDR of MM rapidly declined from 86.8%in 2012 to 49.4%in 2014,whereas that of IMS declined slowly from 75.4%in 2012 to 69.4%in 2014.The interspecific N competition rate(NCRms)was higher under RN than under CN,and increased yearly.Soybean nodule dry weight and nitrogenase activities were respectively 34.2%and 12.5%higher under intercropping than in monoculture at the beginning seed stage.The amount(Ndfa)and ratio(%Ndfa)of soybean N2 fixation were significantly greater under IS than under SS.In conclusion,N fertilizer was more efficiently used under RN than under CN;in particular,the relay intercropping system promoted N fertilizer utilization in comparison with the corresponding monocultures.An intercropping system helps to maintain soil fertility because interspecific N competition promotes biological N fixation by soybean by reducing N input.Thus,a maize-soybean relay intercropping system with reduced N application is sustainable and environmentally friendly.

Effects of Different Planting Pattern of Maize (<i>Zea mays</i>L.) and Soybean (<i>Glycine max</i>(L.) Merrill) Intercropping in Resource Consumption on Fodder Yield, and Silage Quality

An experiment was carried out at the field units of the north campus experimental areas in Northwest Agriculture and Forestry University, Yangling, Shaanxi Province, P. R. China. The experiment was conducted on summer season (June to September) to determine the effects of different planting patterns of maize and soybean intercropping in resource consumption on fodder yield and silage quality. The main treatments were one sole crop of maize (SM) and four maize-soybean intercropping patterns (1 row maize to 1 row soybean (1M1S), 1 row maize to 2 rows soybean (1M2S), 1 rows maize to 3 rows soybean (1M3S) and 2 rows maize to 1 row soybean (2M1S), respectively. The experiment was a randomized complete block design with three replications, and plot size of 12 m by 5 m. The crops were harvested when the maize reached at milk stage and soybean at R7 stage. The result indicated significant increase in fresh biomass and dry matter production of maize fodder alone as compared to maize intercropped with soybean fodder. It was correlated with a higher consumption of environmental resources, such as photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) and soil moisture by intercropping. After 45 days of ensiling period, silage samples were analyzed for pH, organic acids (Lactic, acetic, and butyric), dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), ether extract (EE), neutral detergent fibre (NDF), acid detergent fibre (ADF), calcium (Ca), sodium (Na), phosphorus (P), magnesium (Mg), and potassium (K). It was concluded that in all intercropped silages, crude protein (CP) values were higher (1M1S, 12.1%;1M2S, 12.2%;1M3S, 12.4%;2M1S, 12.1%) than the monocrop maize (SM, 8.7%) silage. Higher organic acids (p < 0.05) were produced in the 1M3S silages as compared to others silages. The study indicated that among all intercropped silages, the 1M3S (1 row maize to 3 rows soybean) was preferable according to nutrient composition than other intercropped silages.

Image-based root phenotyping for field-grown crops:An example under maize/soybean intercropping

Root architecture,which determines the water and nutrient uptake ability of crops,is highly plastic in response to soil environmental changes and different cultivation patterns.Root phenotyping for field-grown crops,especially topological trait extraction,is rarely performed.In this study,an image-based semi-automatic root phenotyping method for field-grown crops was developed.The method consisted of image acquisition,image denoising and segmentation,trait extraction and data analysis.Five global traits and 40 local traits were extracted with this method.A good consistency in 1st-order lateral root branching was observed between the visually counted values and the values extracted using the developed method,with R^(2)=0.97.Using the method,we found that the interspecific advantages for maize mainly occurred within 5 cm from the root base in the nodal roots of the 5th-7th nodes,and that the obvious inhibition of soybean was mostly reflected within 20 cm from the root base.Our study provides a novel approach with high-throughput and high-accuracy for field research on root morphology and branching features.It could be applied to the 3D reconstruction of field-grown root system architecture to improve the inputs to data-driven models(e.g.,OpenSimRoot)that simulate root growth,solute transport and water uptake.

Effect of Intercropping Ginger and Sweet Maize on Growth,Yield and Benefits

Ginger is an important cash crop in Shandong Province and it usually takes the sole cropping in the production.In order to explore new ginger cultivation patterns and improve planting benefits,sweet maize(Jingengtian 1)was intercropped with ginger(Laiwu ginger).The plug seedling was performed for sweet maize on April 18.Ginger was planted with plastic film mulching on April 20,and double-row sweet maize seedlings were transplanted on the ridges of interlaced ginger fields on May 2.The sweet maize was harvested from July 18 to 25,and the tillering rate of sweet maize reached 100%.The number of tillers in intercropping was more than that of sole cropping,and the highest average tiller reached 5.32 per plant;when sweet maize was intercropped,the number of ears decreased by 17.35%and the ear weight decreased by 8.07%.Ginger was harvested on October 20,the number of branches of intercropping ginger decreased by 5.12%to 6.47%,and the rhizomes weight per plant decreased by 5.64%to 16.43%.The economic benefit of ginger intercropping sweet maize was higher than that of sole ginger cropping.The intercropping model increased the efficiency by 6.28%and 2.87%respectively in the two bases,and increased the net income by 12000 and 5000 yuan/ha,respectively.

滴灌下氮肥减量配施生物炭对玉米大豆间作系统光合特性和产量的影响

为研究氮肥减量结合生物炭对玉米大豆间作群体光合特性和产量的影响,设置不同种植模式(玉米单作、大豆单作、玉米大豆间作)、生物炭(2,4,6 t·hm^(-2))、氮肥减量(165,210,255 kg·hm^(-2))三因素试验,采用正交试验设计方法,探讨不同种植模式氮肥减量配施生物炭的适宜用量。结果表明:单作与间作模式玉米适宜的用量分别为氮肥210与255 kg·hm^(-2),生物炭用量均为4 t·hm^(-2)。间作系统产量达到13395 kg·hm^(-2),较单作玉米下降20.13%,间作玉米、大豆较相应单作产量分别下降35.69%和56.39%,有效株数低是导致间作玉米产量下降的主要原因,而单位面积株数与单株粒数的合理调控是决定间作大豆产量高低的关键因素。间作处理IN3C2(氮肥225 kg·hm^(-2)、生物炭4 t·hm^(-2))玉米的Pn从大口期到灌浆期持续升高,在灌浆期达到峰值,大豆从开花期经历结荚期到鼓粒期持续升高,在鼓粒期达到峰值,较其它处理具有显著光合优势,且大豆在结荚期和鼓粒期表现显著的边际优势。综上,滴灌下,氮肥减量与生物炭配施,单作和间作玉米较优的氮肥用量分别为210和255 kg·hm^(-2),生物炭为4 t·hm^(-2)。

玉米大豆间作干物质积累和氮磷吸收利用的边际效应

【目的】研究间作对玉米大豆干物质积累及氮磷吸收利用特性的影响机制,对实现玉米、大豆间作高产高效具有重要指导意义。【方法】试验设玉米单作、大豆单作、玉米大豆间作3种种植方式,分别测定玉米大口期、吐丝期和成熟期的植株氮磷积累量和大豆开花期、结荚期和成熟期的植株氮磷积累量,研究间作对玉米、大豆不同器官干物质积累及氮磷吸收积累特性,明确氮磷吸收利用的边际效应。【结果】与单作相比,间作降低了玉米干物质和氮磷的积累,促进了根系吸收氮向籽粒的分配;降低了大豆干物质积累,尤其对中行的影响大于边行,边行干物质、氮磷积累体现边际效应优势;与单作体系相比,间作使玉米大豆植株茎叶营养器官氮转移量均减少,分别降低22.13%、29.85%,转运氮对玉米籽粒氮的贡献率分别下降5.11%、17.45%,且根系吸收氮对籽粒氮的贡献率均高于转运氮对籽粒氮的贡献率。间作能够有效提高系统氮利用效率,较玉米、大豆单作分别提高2.34%、4.62倍,使系统氮效率较单作大豆提高26.82%,较单作玉米降低10.16%,玉米在系统产量中占主导地位,占系统产量的82.27%,土地当量比(LER)达到1.47,系统产量为13110 kg/hm^(2),较单作玉米下降3.96%。【结论】间作优势主要在于促进根系吸收氮向籽粒的分配,提高氮的利用效率。

鲜食玉米播期与密度对大豆、鲜食玉米间作产量的影响

为探索黄淮海区适宜的大豆、鲜食玉米间作模式,采用鲜食玉米播期与密度二因素裂区设计,研究了不同鲜食玉米群体对大豆、鲜食玉米间作体系作物的产量、农艺性状及作物间相对竞争力的影响。结果表明:鲜食玉米3个播期A1(6月30日)、A2(7月7日)、A3(7月14日)与3个种植密度B1(3.20万株·hm^(-2))、B2(3.80万株·hm^(-2))、B3(4.50万株·hm^(-2))共9个处理不影响间作的产量优势,土地当量比(LER)都大于1;从播期方面看,A1、A2和A3的LER均值分别为1.26,1.20和1.15,差异达到显著水平(P<0.05),A1与A2差异不显著;同一播期不同密度条件下,B2的LER最大,B3居中,B1最小。鲜食玉米播期与密度互作对大豆的产量、百粒重无显著性影响,对株高、茎粗、单株荚数、单株粒数产生了显著性影响;鲜食玉米产量和百粒重随着播期的延后逐渐变小,A3的百粒重仅为A1的69.1%,且同一播期内百粒重随着密度的增加逐渐变小。鲜食玉米播期推后抑制了大豆、鲜食玉米共生后期鲜食玉米资源竞争力的恢复,共生前期大豆占优势地位,共生后期鲜食玉米的资源竞争力逐渐变强。因此,就本研究而言,大豆、鲜食玉米间作体系中鲜食玉米应不晚于7月7日播种,种植密度3.80万株·hm^(-2)有利于大豆、鲜食玉米间作体系总产量的提高。

不同带宽行比对玉米/大豆带状间套作群体产量和氮素效率的影响

为明确玉米/大豆带状间套作的最优配置,大田试验条件下,以单作玉米(MM)和单作大豆(MS)为对照,设置5种不同带宽行比:2 m带宽玉豆行数比为2∶2(T1)、2.4 m带宽玉豆行数比为2∶3(T2)、2.4 m带宽玉豆行数比为2∶4(T3)、2.8 m带宽玉豆行数比为2∶3(T4)、2.8 m带宽玉豆行数比为2∶4(T5),研究不同带宽行比对玉米/大豆带状间套作群体产量和氮素利用效率的影响。结果表明,玉米籽粒产量总体上随着带宽增加呈现逐渐减少的趋势,大豆籽粒产量总体上随着带宽增加呈现逐渐增加的趋势;相同带宽条件下,随着玉米大豆行比增加,玉米籽粒产量下降,大豆籽粒产量增加;玉米和大豆的植株氮素吸收利用效率变化规律与籽粒产量基本相一致。与对照相比,T2有提高玉米和大豆的收获指数,增加氮素在玉米和大豆籽粒的分配比例、降低在茎秆的分配比例的趋势。综合产量、经济效益以及群体氮素吸收、分配和利用效率的表现,2.4 m带宽下种植2行玉米3行大豆为鄂西南山区玉米/大豆的最优间套作模式。

施氮与种间距离下大豆/玉米带状套作作物生长特性及其对产量形成的影响

为明确施氮和种间距离下套作作物生长特性及其对产量形成的影响。本文以大豆/玉米带状套作系统为研究主体,探究不同氮水平(施氮与不施氮)与种间距离(玉豆间距30、45、60和75 cm、单作100 cm)下作物生长率、干物质积累与分配及产量差异,并对作物干物质积累过程进行拟合,综合分析作物生长规律和产量效益。结果表明:玉米生长率在抽雄期至乳熟期达最大,不施氮下以间距30 cm(MS30)最高,较玉米单作(MM100)高出34.99%。套作大豆生长率在初花期前显著低于单作(SS100),而初花期后高于SS100,以间距60cm(MS60)最高,盛花期—盛荚期在不施氮下较SS100高出78.91%。Logistic方程可较好的拟合玉米、大豆的干物质积累过程,且R2均在0.95以上。与不施氮相比,施氮推迟了玉米干物质积累高峰,提高了干物质积累量;套作大豆生育前期干物质积累慢于单作,而生育后期间距45cm(MS45)、MS60干物质积累逐渐与单作持平甚至超过单作。施氮提高了玉米籽粒干物质分配率而显著提高产量,2年间玉米产量分别提高10.05%、40.90%。随种间距离增加套作大豆产量呈先增后减趋势,以MS60最高,MS30最低,MS60两年间在不施氮与施氮下较MS30分别平均高出23.88%、31.77%。套作下土地当量比均在1.35以上,其中以施氮下MS60最大(1.89)。适宜的种间距离(间距60 cm)可实现套作下玉米和大豆协同生长,提高作物生长率、促进干物质积累与分配、提高系统产量和土地当量比。
