Effects of pepper - peanut intercropping systems on processed chili yield and rhizospheric soil microecological environment.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

This study investigated the effects of pepper - peanut intercropping patterns on the rhizosphere soil microenvironment and yield of processing chili.

Methods

Using the processing chili varieties "Beike 802" and "Dehong 1" as test materials, treatments included monoculture (BK, DH) and peanut intercropping (BKIM, DHIM). The dry matter accumulation, agronomic traits, photosynthetic parameters, soil nutrients, enzyme activities and microbial community changes were analyzed by split plot experiment design.

Results and discussion

The results demonstrated that intercropping significantly enhanced dry matter accumulation in pepper plants (the dry matter accumulation of pepper was increased by 25.25% in BKIM compared with BK in full fruit period, p<
