Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of defoliants, and in particular to a transplant defoliant suitable for Sophora japonica, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] How to promote efficient tree survival during transplantation is a difficult point in landscaping projects. Usually, a variety of technical means are needed to balance the tree vigor and improve the survival rate, such as pruning and manual leaf removal. Traditional leaf removal requires a large amount of manpower in a short period of time to remove the leaves one by one, which is inefficient and costly. The high cost and time-consuming and labor-intensive nature of the process limits the implementation of the project. Currently, chemical defoliants are only used during the leaf-falling harvest period of agricultural crops (such as cotton) and have not been used during the growing season. At the same time, woody plants are large and strong in growth, have strong resistance, thick leaf cuticles, and poor penetration of chemicals. Currently, defoliation products on the market have no effect on tree defoliation, and the simple use of growth regulators has little effect on trees in their vigorous growth period.
[0003] In recent years, the research on the combination of growth regulators and herbicides, and growth regulators and defoliants has become a hot topic. In cotton applications, the defoliation time of defoliants generally lasts 10 to 25 days; however, there is currently a blank in the research on defoliation of garden tree species, and there is no special formula for specific Sophora japonica species. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In order to promote the efficient survival of Sophora japonica trees, the present application provides a transplant defoliant suitable for Sophora japonica, and a preparation method and application thereof.
[0005] In a first aspect, the present application provides a transplant defoliant suitable for Sophora japonica, comprising component A and component B; The A component includes the following components in the following concentrations: 3-7 g / L of ethephon, 0.1-0.5 g / L of Silwet L-77 silicone, 0.02-0.08 g / L of green citrus oil, and 0.1-0.5 g / L of mineral oil; the solvent is water; The B component includes the following components at the following concentrations: 3-7 g / L of thidiazuron, 5-9 g / L of diquat, and 0.5-0.9 g / L of an adjuvant; the solvent is water; and the adjuvant is a mixture of Break-Thru S240 silicone, citrus aurant oil, quercetin, and sophocarpine in a weight ratio of 8-12:2-6:1-3:0.5-3.
[0006] Preferably, the component A comprises the following components at the following concentrations: 4-6 g / L of ethephon, 0.2-0.4 g / L of silicone, 0.04-0.06 g / L of citrus oil, and 0.2-0.4 g / L of mineral oil; and the solvent is water.
[0007] In a specific embodiment, the A component includes the following components at the following concentrations: 5 g / L ethephon, 0.3 g / L silicone, 0.05 g / L green citrus oil, and 0.3 g / L mineral oil; and the solvent is water.
[0008] Preferably, the component A further comprises ethanol, and the weight ratio of ethanol to ethephon is 80-120:1.
[0009] Preferably, the B component comprises the following components at the following concentrations: 4-6 g / L of thidiazuron, 6-8 g / L of diquat, and 0.6-0.8 g / L of adjuvant.
[0010] Preferably, the B component comprises the following components at the following concentrations: 4.5-5.5 g / L of thidiazuron, 6.5-7.5 g / L of diquat, and 0.65-0.75 g / L of adjuvant.
[0011] Preferably, the auxiliary agent is composed of a mixture of Break-Thru S240 silicone, green orange oil, quercetin and sophocarpine in a weight ratio of 9-11:3-5:1.5-2.5:1-2.
[0012] Preferably, the auxiliary agent is composed of a mixture of Break-Thru S240 silicone, green citrus oil, quercetin and sophocarpine in a weight ratio of 9.5-10.5:3.5-4.5:1.7-2.2:1.2-1.8.
[0013] In a second aspect, the present application provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned transplant defoliant suitable for Sophora japonica, which specifically comprises the following steps in sequence: Dilute ethephon to 80-120 times by weight of ethanol, then add it to water with Silwet L-77 silicone, green tangerine oil, and mineral oil to prepare component A of corresponding concentration; Thidiazuron, diquat and adjuvant are added into water to prepare component B of corresponding concentration.
[0014] In a third aspect, the present application provides the use of the above-mentioned defoliant in regulating the growth of Sophora japonica species.
[0015] In a fourth aspect, the present application provides a method for using the above-mentioned transplant defoliant suitable for Sophora japonica, which specifically comprises the following steps in sequence: Spray component A on 2 / 3 to 4 / 5 of the crown of garden tree species until water drips onto the leaves; After 2-4 hours, spray component B on 2 / 3 to 4 / 5 of the crown of the garden tree species until water drips from the leaves.
[0016] The present application designs a dual-stage action formula, and the defoliant consists of component A and component B; the ethephon in component A can release ethylene, first inducing the activation of abscission layer cells, promoting abscission layer formation, and accelerating leaf aging and shedding; the thiadiazole in component B used after a period of time acts as a cytokinin analogue, inducing leaf fall by blocking auxin transport, while reducing transpiration and enhancing ethephon-induced abscission layer formation; diquat, as a contact herbicide of the bipyridinium salt class, inhibits photosynthetic electron transfer, destroys cell membranes, destroys chloroplast structure, and accelerates leaf dehydration and death.
[0017] During testing, the applicant discovered that the combination of Break-Thru S240 silicone, tangerine oil, quercetin, and sophocarpine as adjuvants demonstrated excellent results. Break-Thru S240 silicone, a highly effective surfactant, reduces the surface tension of water, improving the wettability and spreadability of the defoliant on the leaf surface. This allows the defoliant to more evenly coat the leaf surface, enhancing its effectiveness. The silicone also enhances the defoliant's penetration, allowing it to more easily penetrate the leaf interior and improve defoliation efficiency. Tangerine oil, with its natural insecticide and fungicide properties, effectively controls pests and diseases, protecting plant health. Adding tangerine oil to the defoliant not only enhances defoliation effectiveness but also reduces the impact of pests and diseases on plants, improving their resistance to stress. Mineral oil, as an adjuvant, enhances the stability and durability of the defoliant. It forms a protective film on the leaf surface, preventing the defoliant from being washed away by rain or decomposed by ultraviolet rays, thereby extending its service life. Quercetin interferes with photosynthesis-related processes (such as inhibiting photosynthetic pigment synthesis or disrupting chloroplast structure) by affecting the osmotic pressure or enzyme activity of leaf cells. This may inhibit the transport or action of auxins (such as indoleacetic acid), disrupting the hormonal balance in the plant and causing premature leaf aging, withering, and shedding. Sophoracarpine can disrupt cell membrane permeability, leading to cellular dysfunction and accelerated leaf aging. It may also affect the synthesis or signal transduction of abscisic acid in the plant, thereby indirectly inducing leaf shedding. These components can promote the synthesis of abscisic acid or enhance its effects, while inhibiting the activity of auxins and cytokinins, causing leaves to shed.
[0018] In summary, the technical solution of this application has the following effects: The transplant defoliant suitable for Sophora japonica provided in this application can be used for chemical defoliation in the nursery, and the transplanted plants can be removed from the nursery after defoliation in a targeted area, which greatly reduces the pressure of emergency treatment during on-site construction.
[0019] The transplant defoliant suitable for Sophora japonica provided in this application is used as a chemical agent for treatment. A single spray of the agent can solve labor-intensive and heavy work. It has low overall cost, simple use method and efficient defoliation effect.
[0020] The transplant defoliant suitable for Sophora japonica provided in the present application causes little physical damage to the crown by chemically removing leaves, can fully preserve the crown structure and the ornamental value of the tree, and has a high survival rate of buds in the following year.
[0021] The transplant defoliant suitable for Sophora japonica provided in the present application can remove leaves in advance, which is beneficial for off-season planting and seedling acclimatization, and improves the survival rate of transplanting. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
