Abstract: This paper summarized the effects of pasture-planting in semi-dry region apple orchard in the loess plateau on the soil environment, including the promotion of the organic content, the macro element supply status, and the effect on the soil physiological and chemical characters; outlined the effect of pasture-planting on the growth of apple trees, the quality and quantity of apple fruits including the inhibition of vegetative growth of the apple tree, promotion of the flowering and bearing, and increasing of yield and fruit firmness, soluble substance content and sugar acid ratio. The ecological effect of pasture-planting was also analyzed. The application of pasture-planting was also discussed and the appreciated grass species, pasture-planting mode and the management after planting were recommended. This will put forth ideas and reference for promoting pasture-planting in apple orchard in semi-dry region of the loess plateau.
