Method for interplanting cowpea and potato

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for interplanting cowpea and potato and belongs to the field of agriculture. The method includes preparing land and applying fertilizer, making beds for planting potato, making deep ditches on two sides of each bed, making east-to-west high ridges, for setting up sheds used for planting cowpea, beside the deep ditches; sprouting the potato in early February, sowing seeds in the beds after early spring, and harvesting the potato at the beginning of June; seeding the cowpea in the high ridges in mid-June according to cowpea plant spacing of 20-25cm, inserting racks for guiding vines before cowpea vines grow, diagonally inserting bamboo racks along the high ridges, binding the bamboo racks in a crossing manner, and reserving the intersections of the bamboo racks 1.4-1.6m off the land. The cowpea and the potato can be planted simultaneously by the method, field area can be utilized effectively, subsoil space is utilized, and upper space formed by the bamboo racks is also utilized effectively to allow for growth of the cowpea. The design of the beds and the bamboo racks meets the growth characteristics of the potato and the cowpea, and yield and quality of field crops can be effectively increased for farmers.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention designs the field of crop cultivation, and in particular relates to a method for interplanting cowpea and potato.
