Abstract: Energy study on three agroforestry systems in northern Henan Huanghuaihai plain shows that the annual net energy fixed by Populus×euramericana-Triticum and Zea mays(POTZ) system is 43.6235×1010·ha-1, that by Paulownia-Triticum and Zea mays(PATZ) system is 45.6426×1010·ha-1, and that by Mains pumila-Triticum and Arachis hypogaea(MTA) system is 49.6000 ×1010J·ha-1. The existing energy is respectively 55.2174×1010, 57.7595×1010 and 78.4699×1010J·ha-1, and the utilization efficiency of light energy is respectively 1.000, 1.047 and 1.138%. In comparing with farmland system(FLS), the energy efficiency of thes, three agroforestry systems increases by 11.88,14.45 and 28.25%, respectively. From the viewpoint of energy, MTA system is the optimal one.
