Abstract: The paper aims to enrich the multi-cropping and high efficient planting patterns and improve planting efficiency of potato in northeastern dryland of Sichuan, two new planting patterns “spring potato/maize/sweet potato” and “wheat+winter potato/maize/sweet potato” with traditional planting pattern “wheat/maize/sweet potato” as control were conducted to observe the annual unprocessed food grain yield and economic benefits. The results indicated that: there was no significant difference in unprocessed food grain yield between “spring potato/maize/sweet potato” and control, while the total output value and net benefits were significantly higher than control, by 52.16% and 53.25%, respectively. Moreover, the net labor productivity of “spring potato/maize/sweet potato” was 14.85% higher than control. The unprocessed food grain yield and total output value of “wheat+winter potato/maize/sweet potato” were significant higher than that of control, while the net benefits and net labor productivity were 20.32% and 17.07% lower than control. The rate of return of material cost and cost benefit ratio of both new planting patterns were lower than control. Comprehensive comparison, “spring potato/maize/sweet potato” could be used as the alternative pattern for popularization and application.
