Abstract

This study examined the growth characteristics and yield of wheat in multiple cropping systems with field crops using paddy fields in the southern plain region, and proposed an appropriate cropping system. The multiple cropping system with field crops, which included rice-alternative crops, increased the pH of the paddy soil as well as the contents of organic matter, available phosphorus, K⁺, Ca²⁺, and Mg²⁺. The number of spikes and seed yield per unit area were higher in the perilla-IRG-sesame-wheat, soybean-IRG-sesame-wheat, and rice-IRG-sesame-wheat cropping systems compared with the rice-wheat-rice-wheat system, particularly in the systems containing sesame and soybean. Although the heading date and maturity date of ‘Jokyoung’ wheat were 2－3 days later than that for ‘Geumgang’ wheat, its seed yield was higher by more than 80 kg/10a than that of ‘Geumgang’ wheat, suggesting that, in the southern region, the cultivation of ‘Jokyoung’ wheat could be more advantageous in terms of grain productivity. However, the protein content of the ‘Jokyoung’ wheat was low, below 10%, therefore, more ways to increase its protein content should be explored. Based on the results, to increase wheat yields in the southern region’s paddy fields, multi-cropping systems that include field crops such as perilla-IRG-sesame-wheat or soybean-IRG-sesame-wheat could be more suitable than the rice-wheat-rice-wheat rotation. Ultimately, field crop-based multi-cropping systems positively could impact the soil’s physicochemical properties, and this, in turn, could enhance crop growth and grain yield.
