This research was undertaken in 2019 in Tongwei County,Gansu Province. Under the same total ni- trogen application,four different N application regimes were set,including N0:without N;N1:20% basal N + 20% top dressing N at tillering stage + 60% top dressing N at flowering;N2:20% basal N+30% top dressing N at tillering+50% top dressing N at flowering and N3:20% basal N+40% top dressing N at tillering+40% top dress- ing N at flowering. The effect of different nitrogen treatment regime on the yield advantage and interspecific relation- ship of the oat/pea intercropping system were investigated. The results showed that both above ground biomass and grain yield of oat//pea intercropping system were higher than those of corresponding monoculture,and the LER based on above ground biomass was greater than 1 under N treatment. The LER calculated by grain yield was greater than 1 for all treatment,the intercropping advantage was obvious. The grain yield and above ground biomass of intercropped oat were the highest under N2 treatment,which were 3 705. 3 kg/hm2 and 8. 53 t/hm2 ,respectively. When compared with those under N1 and N3 treatments,the grain yield and above ground biomass increased by 5. 11% and 22. 48%, 18. 47% and 22. 03%,respectively. . Intercropping pea had the highest grain yield(2073. 7 kg/hm2 )under N1 treat- ment with top dressing 20 kg N/hm2 at branching stage. In the intercropping system,the interspecific competitiveness of oat to pea increased first and then decreased with the growth period and nitrogen application. Oat was at a competi- tive disadvantage at the jointing stage,but restored its competitive advantage with the extension of the growth period. Its average competitiveness of the whole growth period relative to pea was greater than 0,and became a competitive advantage plant. There was a quadratic correlation between the grain yield of intercropped population and the average competitiveness of oat to pea. The high yield of intercropped population could be achieved at 0. 14 competitiveness. Grain filling period of oat was a critical period for regulating interspecific competitiveness and yield improvement.
