Abstract: The aim of the present study was to explore an innovative weed control mode in orchard named"orchard-goose integration mode".Under this mode,the field evenness and density of the weed in pear orchard was significantly impacted:the Calystegia hederacea,Amarantus viridis and other goose preferred weed were markedly reduced,and the Duchesnea indica and Potentilla chinensis were greatly increased;in summer,the grazing density of ten goose per 667 m2 could achieve a relative balance between goose feed intake and growth of weed in pear orchard.
