The invention discloses a special
water retention fertilizer for sweet potatoes and a preparation method thereof. The special
water retention fertilizer for sweet potatoes is prepared from the following raw materials in parts by weight: 7-12 parts of available
nitrogen (N), 6-9 parts of available
phosphorus (P2O5), 20-25 parts of available
potassium (K2O), 8-10 parts of
sodium polyacrylate, 2-5 parts of
polyacrylamide and 5-9 parts of
bentonite. The special
water retention fertilizer for sweet potatoes has the
advantage of scientific
nitrogen-
phosphorus-
potassium nutrient proportion, integrates both fertilizer and water, combines
nutrition and water retention, and can enhance the water and
fertility retention properties of soil and the water / fertilizer utilization efficiency of the sweet potatoes. When being spread as a base fertilizer at one time before sweet potato
ridge forming, the special water retention fertilizer for sweet potatoes can promote the sweet potato
root system to absorb water in the rooting and
seedling stage, increase the growth rate of the sweet potatoes in the early stage, shorten the field
ridge seal time of the sweet potatoes, and reduce the field
moisture evaporation; and the contained nutrients are slowly released to prevent the stems and leaves of the sweet potatoes from vigorous growth and promote fruiting of the sweet potatoes, thereby enhancing the yield of the dry farming sweet potatoes.
