Abstract: In order to screen pineapple[Ananas comosus (Linn.) Merr.] varieties suitable for interplanting between Australian macadamia(Macadamia ternifolia F. Muell.) orchards, four pineapple varieties including Tainong No. 16, Tai Nong No. 17, Golden Pineapple and Tainong No. 4 were selected by randomized block design. The excellent pineapple varieties were tested in a trial, and the agronomic traits, fruit traits and quality of the plants were investigated, and correlation analysis was carried out. The results showed that the planting height, leaf width, average fruit weight, soluble solid content and soluble sugar content of pineapple in Tainong No.16 pineapple were the highest, the pulp fiber was less, the texture was smooth and the flavor was sweet. According to the comprehensive evaluation, Tainong No. 16 is the most suitable pineapple variety for macadamia interplanting.

Key words: macadamia nut(Macadamia ternifolia F. Muell.), pineapple[Ananas comosus (Linn.) Merr.], intercropping, screening
