摘要： Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) is a promising food and industrial crop that plays an important role in China's agricultural poverty relief strategy. Selecting an appropriate cropping system for sweet-potato production could simultaneously achieve energy, economic, and environmental benefits. Therefore, the comprehensive assessment of diversified sweet-potato-based cropping systems (i.e., sweet potato monoculture (SP), continuous sweet potato cropping (SPSP), sweet potato- rice (SPRI), sweet potato-maize (SPMA), and sweet potato-potato (SPPO)) in South China was conducted with a field survey and life-cycle assessment. The data were collected quantitatively using a questionnaire for face-to-face interviewing of 70 farmers. The results indicated that the annual crop yield (sweet potato equivalent yield) of five cropping systems was in increasing order as SPPO > SPSP > SPMA > SPRI > SR The SPMA system exhibited the highest net energy (499.09 GJ/ha) and energy rate (7.77). The SPSP system performed better in energy efficiency (0.90 kg/MJ), net return (140,284 CNY/ha), benefit to cost rate (3.20), and eco-efficiency (45 CNY/kg CO2-eq). The annual greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions of five cropping systems ranked from lowest to highest as follows: SP < SPRI < SPSP < SPMA < SPPO. With comprehensive consideration, extended rotation systems (e.g., SPMA, SPRI, and SPSP) are proposed because they could effectively reduce GHG emissions while maintaining or even increasing the system's productivity (ensuring food safety) in South China.
