摘要： Appropriate use of cover crops and crop rotation in agriculture can contribute to food security and sustainable production. However, the impacts of Orychophragmus violaceus (O. violaceus) as rotation cover crop in maize on soil physicochemical properties and crop nutrient uptake have rarely been verified and quantified via field studies. With a conventional wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)-maize (Zea mays L.) rotation used as a control, a field experiment was conducted on the North China Plain in 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 to evaluate the dynamic variations in soil chemical properties and maize agronomic indexes and the impacts on maize nutrient uptake and yield under continuous maize and O. violaceus-maize rotation. We observed that rotation of O. violaceus with maize positively impacts soil chemical properties and subsequent maize productivity. Compared to those in the wheat-maize rotation, the mean contents of soil organic matter (SOM), soil alkali-hydrolyzable nitrogen (SAN), soil available phosphorus (SAP), and soil available potassium (SAK) in the O. violaceus-maize rotation increased by 8%, 11%, 13% and 18%, respectively, within the 0-60 cm soil layer, thereby increasing the maize N and P uptake and yield at maturity. According to correlation analysis and path model results, the most powerful direct factor affecting the maize yield was plant nutrient uptake rather than biomass accumulation. The O. violaceusmaize rotation was superior to the wheat-maize rotation and continuous maize in term of SOM, SAN, plant agronomic indexes, and maize nutrient uptake and yield. Overall, O. violaceus-maize is a reasonable rotation system for use on the North China Plain and provides new insight into the mechanisms and processes underlying crop yield and nutrient uptake.
