Bitter gourd seedling culture matrix based on grass carbon

Abstract

The invention discloses a bitter gourd seedling culture matrix based on grass carbon and belongs to the field of vegetable seedling culture matrixes. The matrix is formed by mixing the grass carbon and vermiculite according to the volume ratio of 3:2. By mixing the grass carbon and the vermiculite according to the volume ratio of 3:2, due to the fact that the proportion of the vermiculite is large, the matrix volume weight is increased, the total porosity, aeration pores and retention pores are reduced, the matrix is particularly suitable for bitter gourd seedling culture, and the plant height, the stem thickness, overground dry weight and root dry weight are respectively increased by 18.6%, 9.1%, 33.7% and 19.5%. The chlorophyll content of the bitter gourd is improved, and the growth of bitter gourd seedlings is remarkably promoted.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a vegetable seedling raising matrix formula, in particular to a peat-based bitter gourd seedling raising matrix. Background technique [0002] Bitter melon (Momordica charantia L.) is an annual climbing herb of the genus Momordica cucurbitaceae. It originated in the tropical region of Southeast Asia and is widely distributed in temperate, subtropical and tropical regions. It has a long history of cultivation in China, Japan, India and Southeast Asia. Bitter gourd is a common vegetable. Various proteins are extracted from the fruit and seeds of bitter gourd, which have anti-tumor, hypoglycemic, and antioxidant effects. Seedling cultivation is an important part in the bitter gourd planting process. The seedlings are raised in plug trays, saving energy, materials and materials, labor and labor, and greatly improving the production efficiency of seedlings. The seedlings are of good quality and suitable for long-distance transporta...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The substrate using only peat charcoal has poor water and fertilizer retention capacity, and peat charcoal is generally more acidic, so it is not suitable as a seedling substrate alone

Vermiculite has better water retention performance, but it cannot provide nutrients for plant growth

However, the existing commercial seedling substrates are only general seedling substrates for vegetables, and there is no special seedling substrate for bitter melon
