Abstract：In order to clarify the effects of potato/peanut intercropping on potato yield,quality and eco-nomic benefits,a field experiment with 2 different potato-peanut row ratios was carried out with monoculture as control (CK)to study the changes of potato yield,quality and total output value under intercropping condi-tion.The results showed that the tuber yield under intercropping was remarkably higher than that under mono-culture,which increased by 4.77%and 2.12%in spring,and 8.24%and 6.81%in autumn under the row ratios of 2∶2 and 3∶2,respectively.Intercropping significantly improved the vitamin C and protein contents, but decreased the reducing sugar and starch contents in potato tubers.The higher yield of intercropping en-sured a higher output value,especially the treatment with the row ratio as 2∶2,which showed the highest eco-nomic benefit.In conclusion,intercropping could significantly increase the tuber yield and economic benefit of potato and improve the tuber quality.The 2∶2 row ratio performed better,so it was recommended for potato/peanut intercropping.
