Abstract:

In order to study the effects of different types of ground cover on the soil and fruit quality of peach orchards, a degradable ground cover experiment was conducted in Dongcun Peach Tree Planting Base, Bailongqiao Town, Wucheng District in 2022. The experimental variety is Jinxiu Huangtao, with non covering ground cover as the control. Two treatments of dual color ground cover and single color ground cover were set up. Field investigations and data analysis were used to study the effects of different ground cover on the physicochemical properties of peach orchard soil, fruit quality, and soil weed growth. The results showed that covering with ground cover could increase soil moisture content, and the soil moisture content covered with dual color ground cover was 21.5 percentage points higher than that not covered; Covering with ground cover could regulate soil temperature, and there was no difference between different ground cover treatments; After covering with ground cover, except for an increase in soil alkaline nitrogen content, there was no effect on other soil nutrients; The weed suppression rate of covering with ground cover was 100%, which saved labor and costs. The cost of single color ground cover was lower, and the promotion value was higher.

Key words: ground cover, peach orchard, soil, fruit quality
