Abstract: With the theories of economy and ecology,this paper analyzed the main management patterns of economic fruit forest in the Dashan Village,Huoqiu County,Anhui Province. The results showed that 9-year-old-mandarin-tea,5-year-old persimmon-potato-watermelon, 7-year-old pear-potato-soybean, and 7-year-old pear-balloonflower had obvious social,economic and ecological benefits.Their net economic benefits were 8 700.00,12 351.00,12 337.50 and 22 500.00 yuan·hm-2,respectively,higher than that of single crop planting.In these patterns,the crown density between rows could reach 0.3~0.4,and the light utilization rate increased by 20%~30%.
