What kind of crop is suitable to grow under the pepper tree? What kind of crops can be interplanted under the tree?

Pepper, also known as pepper, is a common plant in our country, because it can be used as seasoning, but also can be widely planted as Chinese medicine, but because young pepper is not suitable for planting success, so farmers will adopt interplanting mode to enhance soil power, then pepper tree suitable for planting what crops? What crops can be interplanted under trees?

In young pepper orchards or pepper orchards with low tree coverage, intercropping can be planted between trees. The interplanting crops in the watch garden can cover the soil, prevent erosion, reduce weed damage, increase soil humus and improve soil fertility; at the same time, it can reasonably use the land, intercrop grain and other cash crops, both to increase grain production and increase income, and achieve the purpose of "raising the field with the garden" and "raising the long with the short". Interplanting crops also have certain disadvantages, such as easy to compete with pepper trees for water, nutrients and sunlight. However, adverse effects can be minimized if intercrop types are selected appropriately and planted properly.

Zanthoxylum bungeanum trunk is low, only in the juvenile stage or early fruit stage suitable for intercropping, fruit stage trees generally not suitable for intercropping. That is, young period, should also pay attention to the selection of crop types, in order not to affect the growth and development of pepper for the principle. Good intercrop should have the conditions of short growth period, less nutrient absorption and water, a large amount of water and fertilizer requirements different from prickly ash trees; shorter plants, not affecting the light conditions of prickly ash trees; can improve soil fertility, fewer diseases and insect pests, and not aggravate the diseases and insect pests of fruit trees; intercrop itself has higher economic value.

Usually beans, potatoes, wheat, melons, vegetables are appropriate. Suitable for intercropping beans are peanuts, mung beans, soybeans, red beans and so on. This kind of crop plant is shorter generally, nitrogen fixation can improve soil fertility, and pepper compete for fertilizer conflict is small. Peanut plant which short, need less fertilizer and water, is a good intercrop in the sand pepper garden.

Potato is mainly sweet potato and potato. Sweet potato needs less fertilizer and water in the early stage, which has little effect on pepper trees, and needs more fertilizer and water in the late potato formation stage. Sweet potato can stop the growth of pepper trees that grow too much, but it is easy to affect the growth of pepper trees in the later stage. Because sweet potato adaptability is strong, yield is high, it is commonly used in pepper garden between crops. However, when sweet potato grows vigorously, green leaves cover the ground completely, the ground surface reflects very little light from the crown, the inner bore and the lower part of the crown appear insufficient light and the fruit coloring is poor.

Potato root shallow, short growth period, and early sowing period, and pepper for light conflict is small, as long as pay attention to fertilizer irrigation, can make both harvest, so it is flat fertilizer, water conditions are better pepper garden commonly used crops.

For pepper garden intercropping there are wheat, barley and so on. This kind of crop plant is not very tall, grow mainly in spring, fibrous root is dense, can increase soil aggregate structure, and wheat kind itself economic value is higher. However, wheat crops, due to deep root absorption fertility, early spring easy to compete with pepper trees for fertilizer and water, so when used as intercropping, to increase fertilizer, water, so as to reduce the adverse effects on pepper trees.

Pepper tree and vegetable intercropping, because of its fine farming, fertilizer and water are more abundant, more favorable to fruit trees. But autumn planting. Need fertilizer water more or mature late vegetables, it is easy to make pepper tree extended growth, pepper tree winter adverse, often resulting in new shoots "pumping thousand", or dead trees; at the same time easy to increase the dust on pepper tree branches damage.

Intercrop planting should have a certain distance from pepper trees, usually limited to the periphery of the crown, otherwise it will have adverse effects on pepper trees and intercrops. The root system of young pepper tree is not developed, and the ability to compete for fertilizer and water with intercrops is poor, so it should be closer to the crown. Big tree root system developed, seed can be farther away from the crown. In addition, where fertilizer, water conditions are better, pepper tree thousand higher, deeper roots, sparse tree crown branches, crops can be planted closer to the tree.
