Abstract:

To explore the feasibility of using intercropping to mitigate peach replant problem,peach seedlings grown in replanted soil were intercropped with onion,shallot,garlic,Chinese leek,mustard,and alfalfa for 90 days. After this period,the growth characteristics and physiological-biochemical indices of peach seedlings were measured,alongside changes in soil physicochemical properties,enzyme activity and microbial community. Results showed that,except for mustard,intercropping with all other crops improved peach seedlings growth,with garlic having the most significant effect. Garlic intercropping significantly increased seedlings height,stem diameter,leaf number,leaf area,chlorophyll content,aboveground and root biomass,and promoted root growth. Additionally,it increased soil organic matter, available potassium,soil urease,catalase and invertase activity,as well as the abundance of beneficial bacteria like Streptomyces and fungi like Clitopilus,while reducing the abundance of predicted plant pathogenic fungi. In summary,intercropping suitable crops can alleviate peach replant problem by regulating soil microbial community structure,optimizing replanted soil environment,and promoting plant growth. Garlic,in particular,showed the most prominent effects. Thus,intercropping or rotating garlic in peach orchards or in the renewal of old orchards holds potential as an effective strategy for alleviating peach replant problem.
