Summary:This study is aimed to investigate the effects of burley and Chinese cabbage intercropping on disease occurrence and soil fertility in order to further determine the optimal burley and Chinese cabbage intercropping cultivation mode. The effects of burley and Chinese cabbage intercropping on disease occurrence, burley agronomic traits, yield and output value, and soil nutrients were investigated. The results showed that, for burley and Chinese cabbage, viral diseases were severe. Under the burley and Chinese cabbage intercropping mode, nitrogen input had no effect on burley agronomic traits. Meanwhile, burley and Chinese cabbage intercropping had no or little influence on soil pH, and no effect on rapidly available potassium content in soil, but there is descending tend in organic matter, nitrogen and available phosphorus content. The study provides data support for the determination of the optimal burley tobacco and cabbage intercropping mode and the coordination of the development of these two industries.
