Abstract

Agroforestry is the most effective way to restore the disturbed lands on the Loess Plateau and to develop the poor local economy In order to maximize the potential benefits of treebased intercropping systems photosynthesis growth and yield of soybean and corn were studied by measuring photosynthetic active radiation PAR plant water deficit and soil moisture in a 4yearold plantation of walnut Juglans regia L and plum Prunus salicina grown at a spacing of 5 m × 3 m on the Loess Plateau The effects of tree competition significantly reduced PAR net assimilation NA growth and yield of individual soybean or corn plants growing nearer 1 m near tree row to tree rows NA was highly correlated with growth and yield of the both crops These correlations were higher for corn than soybeans with corn rather than soybeans being more adversely impacted by tree shading Plum rather than walnut had the greatest competitive effect on PAR and NA Daily plant water deficits were nonsignificantly and poorly correlated with NA and growth and yield of the both crops However soil moisture 20 cm depth was significantly correlated with biomass and yield of both crops Possible remediation strategies are discussed to reduce tree competitive interactions on agricultural crops
