| In wide-row dense planting systems for fruit trees, common issues such as inefficient use of land, light, water, and fertilizer resources, as well as low initial economic returns, are frequently observed. The practice of orchard intercropping as a soil management strategy can effectively enhance overall agricultural productivity. This study summarizes cultivation techniques for intercropping Chinese yam with young orchards, including site selection, selection of suitable varieties, pre-planting preparation, planting methods, field management, and harvesting practices.Firstly, the intercropping system adequately satisfies the water, nutrient, and light requirements during the early stages of fruit tree growth, thereby promoting healthy development. Secondly, the system allows for direct yam harvesting, resulting in earlier and higher economic returns. Promoting this planting model is significant for fostering orchard development characterized by labor-saving practices, operational safety, and ecological sustainability. Moreover, the technique provides feasible and effective technical guidelines for agricultural production in regions with comparable agroecological conditions. |
