Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a composite biological microbial agent for repairing agricultural, forestry and grassland soil in Northeast China using corn straw as raw material, a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the field of microbiology. Background Art
[0002] As a major agricultural country, my country boasts high crop yields, and consequently, a significant production of crop straw, ranking first in the world. Crop straw has become a vast renewable resource, with promising prospects for its comprehensive utilization. However, this resource is difficult to fully utilize, with much of it being burned. This not only wastes resources but also causes significant environmental pollution. Studies have shown that burning large areas of straw on the soil surface reduces the number and diversity of soil microorganisms, leading to a decrease in microbial community diversity. Straw burning also disrupts the soil structure, causing significant evaporation of surface water and a loss of soil water retention. This practice also severely pollutes the environment, wastes valuable biological resources, and disrupts soil structure, significantly reducing soil organic matter and nutrient content. In traditional agriculture, straw was primarily used for heating and animal feed. However, with the transition from traditional to modern agriculture, adjustments to rural feed and energy structures, and rapid economic development, the use of crop straw has undergone significant changes, resulting in a significant surplus of crop straw.
[0003] With the continuous increase in population and the increasing scarcity of arable land and water resources, the utilization of diverse soil types within the agroforestry-grassland system in Northeast China is a pressing issue. For soil beneath shelterbelts, trenching and root removal are often employed, increasing the area of farmland occupied. This has severely curbed farmers' enthusiasm for establishing and maintaining shelterbelts, leading to some degradation of shelterbelts in many areas. Deep tillage, physical and chemical methods, and agricultural plant improvement methods are commonly used to improve soil quality and promote plant growth to a certain extent. However, these methods are costly and prone to secondary pollution. Soil remediation microbial agents are a relatively new type of soil remediation product that can more effectively and comprehensively utilize barrier soils. Many experts and scholars recognize the effectiveness of microbial remediation. They offer advantages such as low cost and zero secondary pollution.
[0004] Returning straw to the field is an effective measure to increase straw utilization and improve soil fertility, and it is also a major way to utilize straw as a resource. However, in northern China, due to temperature and other factors, straw decomposes slowly after entering the soil, failing to achieve the desired effect. To ensure rapid straw decomposition and improve soil fertility without affecting next-season farming, the application of functional composite microbial agents to rapidly and efficiently decompose straw at low temperatures and, using straw as the primary carrier, to prepare composite functional bioproducts for use in barrier soil remediation offers advantages and potential in terms of energy conservation and cost reduction, and holds great development potential.

Example
[0026] The composting process is as follows: Adjust the moisture content of one ton of crushed corn stalks to 50%. Pile the corn stalks parallel to the ground. Apply the prepared compound bio-inoculation agent to the surface every 20 cm, compact the pile, and maintain a 1.5-meter height. Cover the pile with agricultural plastic film.

These results demonstrate that the compound bio-inoculation agent can increase composting temperature and accelerate the decomposition of lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose in straw. Example
[0029] The experimental site is a slightly salinized soil near the shelterbelt, and the soil type is brown soil.
[0030] Before the experiment, the topsoil was collected for testing. The basic physical and chemical properties of the soil are shown in Table 1.
[0031] Table 1. Basic physical and chemical properties of soil
[0032] The test crop was corn, and the variety was Zhengdan 958.
[0033] Experimental design: The experiment has three treatments with a plot area of 50 m²; the experiment is repeated three times and arranged in random blocks.
[0034] Treatment 1: Conventional fertilization + soil remediation compound bio-organic fertilizer (the product of corn straw fermented with a compound bacterial agent).
[0035] Treatment 2: conventional fertilization + equal amount of inactivated substrate.
[0036] Treatment 3: conventional fertilization.
[0037] Test method: Treatment 1 is to apply soil remediation compound biological organic fertilizer on the basis of conventional fertilization, with a dosage of 100 kg per 667m².
[0038] Treatment 2 was based on conventional fertilization, with the same amount of inactivated substrate as in treatment 1 applied to the bottom.
[0039] Treatment 3 was conventional fertilization: 40 kg / 667 m² of compound fertilizer (20-10-10) was applied at the time of corn sowing, and 20 kg / 667 m² of urea was applied at the corn tasseling stage.
[0040] Test requirements: During the test period, except for fertilization according to the test plan, no other fertilizers will be applied, and other management measures will remain the same; each time the crops are harvested, weighed, and the yield is calculated separately for each plot, and the growth and economic traits of the crops are observed and recorded.
[0041] Field management: On April 24, 2023, soil remediation compound biological organic fertilizer was applied, and the plots were divided and sown. On September 25, 2023, the economic characteristics of corn were investigated in each plot, and then the corn was harvested and the yield was measured.
[0042] Test results and analysis: 1. Effects of different treatments on soil physical and chemical properties.
[0043] Table 2 shows the interannual changes in soil physical and chemical properties at the experimental site. In Treatment 1, soil pH, salt content, and bulk density showed a downward trend, decreasing by 2.31%, 10.34%, and 8.63%, respectively, while soil organic matter increased by 9.25%. In summary, the application of the soil remediation compound bio-organic fertilizer significantly improved soil salinization, rapidly modified the soil topsoil, and fully utilized soil functions, providing strong support for soil ecosystem restoration and crop yield increases.
[0044] Table 2. Changes in soil physical and chemical indicators under different treatments
[0045] 2. Effects of different treatments on the nutritional growth and economic traits of corn.
[0046] Table 3 shows that the application of soil-remediation compound bio-organic fertilizer had a significant impact on the nutritional growth and economic traits of corn. It alleviated leaf senescence, increased fresh ear length, and reduced bald tip length. Plant height, ear length, and ear diameter increased by 3.9%, 8.5%, and 9.0%, respectively, compared to Treatment 3. This indicates that soil-remediation compound bio-organic fertilizer promoted the nutritional growth of corn and fostered favorable economic traits.
[0047] Table 3. Effects of different treatments on maize physiological traits
[0048] 3. Effects of different treatments on corn yield.
[0049] The 2023 yield results are shown in Table 4. As can be seen from Table 4, corn yield increased by 7.21% with soil-remediation compound bio-organic fertilizer application compared to conventional fertilization. To further verify the differences between soil-remediation compound bio-organic fertilizer application and substrate treatments and conventional fertilization, corn yield results were tested using SPSS 19.0 (Table 5) and the Ducan method for multiple comparisons (Table 6). The results of the variance analysis showed that soil-remediation compound bio-organic fertilizer application had a statistically significant effect on corn yield, with the differences reaching an extremely significant level. The results of the multiple analysis showed that the yield of Treatment 1 was significantly different from that of Treatments 2 and 3, while the yield difference between Treatments 2 and 3 was not significant.

[0053] Conclusion: Application of a soil-remediation compound bio-organic fertilizer using corn straw fermentation products as its primary raw material significantly impacted maize nutritional growth and economic traits, alleviating leaf senescence while increasing fresh ear length and reducing bald tip length. In 2023, bottom application of a soil-remediation agent significantly increased maize yield by 7.21% compared to conventional fertilization, demonstrating a significant income-increasing effect.
