Abstract:Long-term no-tillage management technology of hickory (carya cathayensis) is extended in Hangzhou, Zhejiang and good benefit is obtained. Investigation in the main producing areas of hickory in Lin'an and Chun'an city was carried out. The results showed that the yield was 74.68kg/666.7m2 (2987 yuan/666.7m2) and the per capita income was 7028 yuan in the four key towns, and the yield was 95.1kg/666.7m2 (2800 yuan/666.7m2) and the per capita income was 14,818.9 yuan in the five key villages.The average yield was 125.03kg/666.7m2 (5,001 yuan/666.7m2) and Investment Return Ratio was more than 1 ∶ 8 after random investigation of 215 forest owners for nearly 4 years. In the total costs, the harvesting cost was the largest, more than 51.81%, followed by fertilization (including labor costs) for 27.26%, then spraying for 6.45%, and the others, which consists of peeling costs, saling costs, tending costs, labor costs and so on. For example of Changmo Ling, due to all hickory cultivation process managed by employees, the input-output ratio is only 1 ∶ 3.66. However, the mean income reached 3000 yuan/666.7m2 in 2007. There are 230000 mu of hickory forest lands which produced more than 1.2 billion yuan in Lin'an and the economic benefit was one of the topest in the economic forest in Zhejiang as well as China. No-Tillage management is beneficial to protecting the undergrowth and controlling water and soil erosion. Thus, it improved soil moisture, increased soil organ and maintained nutrient cycling by covering the undergrowth in hickory land after cutting on timely. Soil analysis demonstrated that soil organic content and soil layer unchanged during the unfertilized years, while the total nitrogen, phosphorus and hydrolysable nitrogen increased slowly. Soil fertility was improved. Yield was multiplied. The coefficient of variation decreased from 39.76% to 19.60% between no-fertilization and fertilization. The average yields reached 985.50kg/hm2 after fertilization between 2006 to 2009, which yields of the later was 2.47 times that of the former. The protection and improvement of ecological condition is the basis of high output and efficiency in the hickory forest. The results also made known that pure hickory forest in key producing areas was over-concentrated, water contents declined, pests became more serious in the hickory forest. No-tillage management splits grass cover management of soil layer thickness was 58.0 cm, and often drop to the soil layer of biochemical was 50.6 cm, which fell by 7.4 cm across 5 years.There were also too much fertilization, breaking fertilizer ratio balance which caused excess of nitrogen content and serious shortage of potassium content. Compared 13 soil profiles soil of 2005 to classification standard national green food, total nitrogen and hydrolysable nitrogen were all exceeded, rich levels and moderate levels each were 5, less levels were 3 of hydrolysable nitrogen, no rich levels and less levels were 9 of available kalium. So attention must be paid to "controlling nitrogen, stabling phosphorus, improving potassium" in fertilizer in the near future.
