Impact of various intercropping modes on soil quality, microbial communities, yield and quality of Platycodon grandiflorum (Jacq.) A. DC.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Intercropping has the function of promoting plant growth, improving yield and quality. Platycodon grandiflorus (P. grandiflorus) is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb; continuous cropping obstacles significantly inhibit its yield and quality. However, few study have established about P. grandiflorus interaction of various crops. This study provides a theoretical foundation to explore the most effective intercropping method, enhance soil utilization efficiency, and increase the yield and quality of P. grandiflorus. We conducted field experiment, P. grandiflorus monoculture (JG-JG), P. grandiflorus and Achyranthes bidentata intercropping (JG-NX), P. grandiflorus and Saposhnikovia divaricata intercropping (JG-FF), P. grandiflorus and Glehnia littoralis (JG-SS) intercrop
