Effects of Interplanting Different Herbage on Soil Moisture in Apple Orchards of Weibei Plateau

Zhang Xian-lai

Abstract

Analysis on soil moisture of apple orchards with interplanting herbage management in the Weibei Plateau showed that sod culture resulted in improving of water-storage capacity at the depth of 0~60cm layer in comparison with clean cultivation, but different herbage species had various impact on it. In the period of apple growing season ,water competition between apple trees and herbage presented in the 20~40cm layer in the spring (from March to May ) where the soil moisture decreased, however the water-storage increased from June to October .
