The invention relates to a cultivation and
seedling growing matrix for melons and vegetables. The matrix is formed by uniform mixing of the following raw materials by weight: 10-25% of
urea formaldehyde resin foam particles, 15-35% of fermented two-
mushroom residue, and 30-55% of
peat. The preparation method of the fermented two-
mushroom residue includes: mixing
agaricus bisporus residue with
flammulina velutiper residue according to 1:(0.7-1.2), conducting
windrow fermentation, when the temperature reaches above 65DEG C, conducting
pile-turning once every day, and when water decreases to less than 40%, conducting sieving by a 5mm
sieve, thus obtaining fluffy fermented two-
mushroom residue. The
urea formaldehyde resin foam involved in the invention is granular and has
small particle size, is convenient for
water retention and air permeability, is beneficial to rooting and fast
sprouting, and also puts an end to the use of
perlite and
vermiculite, reduces the dust harmful to the
human body in production, and has pH of 5.5, and after uniform mixing with the fully fermented two-mushroom residue, the pH is about 6.5. By using the above three raw materials,
discharge of
solid waste is reduced. As the
urea formaldehyde resin foam particle production involves certain formaldehyde, various pathogens in the
seedling growing and cultivation matrix can be effectively killed, thus avoiding the investment of bactericide before use by a user.
