Abstract

Abstract:

In order to elucidate the effects of intercropping of maize varieties on soil aggregate composition and stability, a two-year field experiment was conducted. The root mass density (RMD), root length density (RLD), and soil aggregate indexs [>0.25 mm aggregates content (R_>0.25), mean weight diameter (MWD), geometric mean diameter (GMD)] under different treatments [T1, one cultivar monoculture; T2, two-cultivar intercropping; T3, three-cultivar intercropping; T4, four-cultivar intercropping] were determined. It was shown that compared to monoculture, intercropping of maize varieties increased RMD, RLD, MWD, GMD and R_>0.25. Compared with the T1 treatment, the RMD under T2, T3, T4 treatments was significantly (P<0.05) increased by 232%, 657%, 702%, respectively; the RLD was significantly increased by 515%, 1 508%, 1 531%, respectively; the R_>0.25 determined by dry sieving method was significantly increased by 0.65, 0.89, 1.02 percentage points; the MWD determined by dry sieving method was significantly increased by 7.2%, 10.7%, 15.7%, respectively; the GMD determined by dry sieving method was significantly increased by 13.1%, 21.1%, 31.9%, respectively; the R_>0.25 determined by wet sieving method was significantly increased by 4.34, 9.42, 11.81 percentage points; the MWD determined by wet sieving method was significantly increased by 19.6%, 41.2%, 54.9%, respectively; the GMD determined by wet sieving method was significantly increased by 27.0%, 64.9%, 87.8%, respectively. In conclusion, intercropping of maize varieties could enhance the particle size distribution of soil aggregates and their stability by increasing root characteristics, such as root mass density and root length density.
