Analysis of the Practice of Mechanization in the Strip Intercropping of Soybeans and Corn in Enshi Mountainous Areas
Abstract：The strip intercropping of soybeans and corn utilizes the principle of plant symbiosis, achieving the purpose of maintaining corn yield while harvesting an additional soybean crop through dense planting. This method has been widely promoted and applied across the country. Vigorously developing mechanization in the strip intercropping of soybeans and corn in mountainous areas is of great significance for promoting this cropping system, increasing the yield and production efficiency of soybeans and corn. However, the field environment in the strip intercropping system is complex, especially constrained by factors such as topography and terrain, making the application and promotion of mechanization technology in mountainous areas difficult. Therefore, taking Enshi mountainous area of Hubei Province as an example, this paper starts with an analysis of the current status of strip intercropping of soybeans and corn in mountainous areas, analyzes the key technologies of mechanization in strip intercropping of soybeans and corn, and proposes constructive countermeasures and suggestions for the main problems existing in the mechanization technology of strip intercropping of soybeans and corn in mountainous areas, providing a reference for promoting mechanized production of strip intercropping of soybeans and corn in mountainous areas.
