Summary

Objective: In order to know the environmental temperature and humidity daily variation regularity in apricot-wheat intercropping zone. Method: Temperature and humidity recorder (EI-USB-2), and portable tester soil temperature and humidity (Stevens POGO) were used to detect the change of air temperature, land surface temperature and relative humidity in apricot-wheat intercropping zone and apricot monoculture zone were observed. Result: The results showed that, the temperature and humidity change lies both in intercropping zone and monoculture zone. There was a positive correlation between the temperature, land surface temperature and PAR, but a negative correlation between relative humidity and PAR. The average temperature and land surface temperature in intercropping zone decreased 4.53°C and 0.7°C, respectively; The average temperature and land surface relative humidity increased 4.90% and 3.93% respectively in intercropping zone. Conclusion: To some extent, intercropping has a significant function of reducing temperature decrease and humidity in the orchard.
