Benefits of Soil and Water Conservation by Sweet Maize Intercropped with Different Mulches on Sloping Land
To examine unreasonable plantation and severe soil and water and soil loss on sloping land in Yunnan Province
a research was conducted on the benefits of soil and water conservation under sweet maize intercropped with green pepper and grass strip. In June
July and August
runoff under intercropping treatment decreased by 29.08% and soil erosion
by 52.36%
as compared with sole cropping; total runoff for the treatment B(sweet maize+grass) decreased by 85.05% as compared with the treatment D(green pepper mono-cropping)
and total soil erosion
by 62.58% and 63.34%
respectively
as compared with the treatments C(sweet maize mono-cropping) and D; and during rainfall of the highest intensity
runoff for the treatment B decreased by 75.29% as compared with the treatment D and soil erosion decreased by 81.36% and 98.34%
respectively
as compared with treatment C and D. The result shows that sweet corn intercropped with grass strip is an effective measure for sustainable use and protection of soil and water resources in a mountainous area.
