Abstract: As a traditional Chinese agricultural heritage, the intercrop planting model can not only improve the quality of production, but also increase economic income. It has been playing an important role in China's food crop production and agricultural income. Food security is among a country's most fundamental interests, and tobacco is an important cash crop in China and an important source of national tax revenue. In the context of strengthening national food security, the competition of tobacco and food for land is becoming more and more prominent. It is of great significance to develop the intercropping planting mode of flue-cured tobacco with food crop in the tobacco area, and to form a good situation of stabilising and promoting grain production with tobacco. This paper summarises the physiological and ecological effects of tobacco intercropping, the impact of tobacco intercropping on the quality and disease of tobacco production, the problems of suitable tobacco intercropping crops, the problems of tobacco intercropping and its solutions, etc. In addition, a prospect was proposed for the development of tobacco intercropping model in Pengshui County, the first flue-cured tobacco plantation in Chongqing.
