Abstract:

The paper aims to optimize the interspecific relationship of intercropping crops by rational using nitrogen fertilizer and root separation model technology, for further exerting interspecific advantages. The pot experiment was adopted to study the effects on advantages and disadvantages, and interspecific competitiveness under different nitrogen fertilization modes including no nitrogen application(N0) and 15N 80 mg/kg (N80) and different root systems including completely separated(T1), root system no separation(T2) and root system separated by nylon net(T3) in oilseed flax/soybean intercropping system. The results showed that the dry matter accumulation of oilseed flax had no significant difference among different treatments. The dry matter accumulation of soybean in whole growth period under the treatment of N80 was significantly higher than that of N0 treatment. The effective pod number per plant, seed number per pod, 1000-grain weight and grain yield of oilseed flax under N80T2 treatment were the highest. Among them, the grain yield was 41.94%-137.84% higher than that of other treatments. The nodule number of soybean was N0>N80. The pod number per plant, the seed number per pod and the 100-grain weight were the highest under N80T2 treatment. The grain yield of N80T3 treatment was the highest and 4.33%-13.99% higher than that of other treatments, and its difference with N80T2 treatment was significant. The land equivalent ratio of all treatments was greater than 2, and it was the maximum under N80T2 treatment. The interspecific competitiveness under the T2 treatment showed that oilseed flax was stronger than soybean (AF>0, CRF>1), but it was the opposite under T3 treatment (AF<0, CRF<1). The results indicate that the application of 15N 80 mg/kg and non-separation of roots in oilseed flax/soybean intercropping system is beneficial to coordinate the inter-specific relationship between oilseed flax and soybean, and it can promote the crop grain yield.
