The effects of three kinds of perennial herbage (Dactylis glomerata L., Lotus corniculatu L., Coronilla varia L.) on soil moisture (0—200 cm) in the apple orchards of Weibei Plateau were analyzed. Results showed that sod culture improved the water-retention capacity in the period from winter to early spring, but consumed more water in late spring and early summer because of the herbage’s germination. The water consumptions of Dactylis glomerata L., Lotus corniculatu L., and Coronilla varia L. from April 10 to May 31 were 99.57, 104.81, 82.13 mm, respectively, which were much higher than the bare land consumption (24.19 mm). The soil water consumption ability order was as Lotus corniculatu L.>Dactylis glomerata L.>Coronilla varia L. The water compensation effect from stable layer to active layer was obvious. When the water in active layer decreased 1 mm, the water storage in the stable layer decreased by 0.60 mm, 0.60 mm and 0.73 mm for Dactylis glomerata L., Lotus corniculatu L., and Coronilla varia L., respectively.
