Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of soil conditioning, in particular to a granular soil conditioner and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] In agricultural production, soil quality plays a vital role in the growth and development of crops. However, with long-term unreasonable fertilization and tillage, the soil faces many problems, such as soil compaction, decreased fertility, imbalance of microbial communities, heavy metal pollution, etc. Soil conditioners can improve soil compaction, loosen the soil to improve air permeability, passivate heavy metals, promote microbial activity in the soil, and enhance the penetration of fertilizer and water in the soil.
[0003] Traditional soil conditioners often have a single function and are difficult to comprehensively and effectively improve soil conditions. Existing soil conditioners may mainly focus on certain functions such as adjusting soil pH, increasing nutrient content, etc., but have limited effects on improving soil structure, promoting the growth of beneficial microorganisms, and improving crop resistance. At the same time, traditional conditioners may not be environmentally friendly and efficient in their preparation methods, and have problems such as high energy consumption and easy pollution. Summary of the invention
[0004] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides a granular soil conditioner and a preparation method thereof, which solves the problem of single function of the soil conditioner in the prior art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical scheme: a granular soil conditioner, comprising the following components in weight percentage: 7%-11% potassium monosilicate, 12%-16% calcium monosilicate, 1.5%-2.5% green muscardine, 2.5%-3.5% Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, 18%-22% humic acid, 6%-8% seaweed extract, 3%-5% lignin sulfonate, 10%-15% biochar, and 8%-12% zeolite powder.

[0010] Preferably, a method for preparing a granular soil conditioner comprises the following steps:
[0011] S1. Potassium monosilicate, calcium monosilicate, humic acid, biochar, zeolite powder and lignin sulfonate were added to a mixer in proportion and mixed at a speed of 30-40 r / min for 25-35 min to obtain a mixed material A;
[0012] S2. The green anisopliae and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens were cultured and expanded to reach the required number of effective viable bacteria, and then mixed with the seaweed extract to obtain a mixture B, and then the mixture was added to the mixed material A obtained in S1, and stirring was continued for 15-25 minutes to obtain a mixed material C;
[0013] S3. The mixed material C is granulated at a granulation temperature of 60-70°C and a pressure of 0.3-0.4 MPa; and then dried at 45-55°C for 3-4 hours to obtain a granular soil conditioner.

[0021] Seaweed extract is extracted from kelp by enzymatic hydrolysis, which mainly contains seaweed polysaccharides, alginic acid and plant growth regulators. The enzymatic hydrolysis is carried out under relatively mild conditions, which can reduce the damage to the extract, improve the extraction efficiency and product quality. Different enzymes have specific substrates and can specifically decompose specific components in seaweed, thereby improving the purity of the target extract. The enzymes commonly used in the enzymatic hydrolysis can be recycled and reused under certain conditions, reducing the use of chemical reagents and reducing pollution to the environment. The steps of obtaining seaweed extract by enzymatic hydrolysis are as follows:
[0022] Raw material preparation: Select fresh kelp or other seaweed as raw material, and perform pre-treatment such as cleaning and removing impurities to ensure the purity of the raw material;
[0023] Selection and addition of enzymes: According to the structural characteristics of seaweed and the properties of the target extract, select the appropriate enzyme combination. For example, cellulase can decompose cellulose in the seaweed cell wall, and pectinase can degrade pectin and other substances. The selected enzymes are added to the seaweed raw materials in a certain proportion;
[0024] Enzymatic hydrolysis: The seaweed raw material with added enzymes is placed under suitable reaction conditions, such as a certain temperature, pH value and reaction time. The enzymatic hydrolysis reaction is carried out under mild conditions to avoid damage to the target extract. During the reaction, the enzyme gradually decomposes the seaweed cell structure, so that the effective ingredients are gradually released into the solution;
[0025] Separation and purification: After the enzymatic hydrolysis reaction is completed, the seaweed residue is separated from the solution containing the extract by filtration and centrifugation. The extract can then be further purified by precipitation, chromatography and other techniques to improve its purity and quality.
