近来年,我乡科技户进行了麦棉套种间作西瓜的尝试,获得了较好的结果。经济收益远远超过了单纯的麦棉套种,间作三种作物总收入可达800元左右。仅西瓜就收获3500斤以上,可收入现金350元左右。而且这种种植方式对小麦产量没有影响,一般小麦单产(按自然面积计算)600斤左右,对棉花也影响不大,单产皮棉可达110—170斤,仅比单纯麦棉套种减产5～10%。其技术要点如下: 一、品种:对棉花品种不加限制。小麦品种要求早熟、矮秆、抗倒伏。西瓜以中熟品种(本地俗称“二造瓜”)为宜。早熟品种 In recent years, my science and technology households conducted a wheat-cotton intercropping watermelon attempt, and achieved good results. Economic benefits far more than a mere cotton-wheat intercropping, intercropping three crops total revenue of up to 800 yuan. Only harvested watermelon more than 3500 pounds, 350 yuan in cash income. Moreover, this planting mode has no effect on the yield of wheat. Generally, the yield of wheat (calculated according to the natural area) is about 600 kg, and it has little effect on the cotton yield. The lint yield per unit can reach 110-170 kg, only 5% to 10% %. The technical points are as follows: First, the variety: no restrictions on cotton varieties. Wheat varieties require precocity, dwarf, lodging. Watermelon to medium-maturing varieties (commonly known locally as “two melon”) is appropriate. Early varieties
