The present disclosure relates to the field of crop planting, in particular to a method for intercropping cotton with peanut. To improve yields of peanut and cotton within the unit planting area, the present disclosure provides a method for intercropping cotton with peanut. Six lines of peanut are intercropped every four lines of cotton, and there is a 30-50 cm interval zone between a cotton seeding zone and a peanut seeding zone. The cotton and the peanut are intercropped by the method provided by the present disclosure, so that specific yield of the peanut and cotton can be increased significantly: compared with single-crop cotton and peanut, average cotton yield increases by 10-15%, and average peanut yield increases by more than 5%; compared with intercropping patterns at other ratios, there is a most substantial increase in specific yields of the cotton and peanut under a condition that six lines of peanut are intercropped every four lines of cotton.
