Comparison of four intercropped tree-shrub(Adinandra millettii) comprehensive management models

Four different intercropped comprehensive management models of Adinandra millettii with(1) Taxodium ascendens,(2) Pinus elliottii,(3) Pseudolarix amabilis,and(4) moso bamboo(Phyllostachys pubescens) in Zhejiang were studied.The survival rate of A.millettii were determined by quadrat method with the area of 200 m2,and the growth amount and branch amount and quality were also measured.Results showed that the survival rate of A.millettii was best when transplanted in the middle or the last ten days of February with a site having thick and fertile soil.The growth and leaf quality of A.millettii improved when it was cultivated under a forest with a canopy density of 0.5～0.6 on a site having thick and fertile soil.Ranking from best to worst for the four comprehensive management models was: A.millettii with T.ascendens Ps.amabilis Pi.elliottiiPh.pubescens.
