Abstract：Under cotton -wheat intercropping system,two treatments were designed including ridge farming and flat planting,and their effects on soil temperature,moisture,light and cotton growth were studied with spring cotton monoculture as control.The results showed that compared with flat planting,ridge farming increased the light intensity and time,raised the soil temperature of 5 -cm soil layer,regulated the soil mois-ture,promoted the early -onset and early -ripe of cotton,increased the pre -frost flower rate by 8.3 percent-age points,and increased the cotton yield and lint yield by 15.0% and 14.7% respectively.
