Abstract In order to analyze the economic benefits and nutritional quality of three different plantings modes of corn(Zea may)continuous cropping(CC),corn+alfalfa(Medicago sativa)+oat(Avena sativa) Rotations(C-A-O)and corn+triticale(Secale sylvestre)rotations(C-T)in Shanxi Province,rotation research was conducted in different regions of Shanxi Province and the entire rotation process was investigated. The results showed that the average annual economic benefit of C-T was the highest;Followed by CC,and C-A-O was the lowest.However,among the three different cropping patterns,the nutritional quality of the C-A-O was significantly higher than that of other two cropping patterns(P<0.01),and the CC was the lowest.In all,the comprehensive benefit of the C-A-O was the highest,followed by the C-T,and the comprehensive benefit of the CC was the lowest.
