Effects of different intercropping patterns on growth of young Camellia oleifera

The effects of young Camellia oleifera intercropped with different plants including soybean,watermelon,peanut and pine on growth of young Camellia oleifera were studied,compared with the growth of non-intercropping ones.The results showed that,the patterns of intercropping Camellia oleifera with peanut or pine were better than other two intercropping patterns.But the survival rate and growth of Camellia oleifera with four intercropping patterns were lower than those of non-intercropping ones.
