Abstract

The effects of intercropping with four floricultural accumulator plants (Helianthus annuus, Cosmos sulphureus, Cosmos bipinnata, Impatiens balsamina) on soil enzymes activity and soil organic matter of grape seedlings under cadmium (Cd) stress were studied by a pot experiment. The results showed that intercroping H. annuus reduced the content of soil organic matter and soil catalase activity as compared with monoculture of grape seedlings. The intercropping C. sulphureus reduced the soil urease activity content and the intercropped C. bipinnata decreased the soil sucrase activity content. Only the grape seedlings intercropping I. balsamina increase soil enzyme activity. Therefore, the intercropping of I. balsamina grape seedlings can increase soil enzyme activity and improve soil fertility.
