Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of agricultural fertilizer and soil improvement, and particularly relates to a biochar-based slow-release fertilizer for improving acidified soil and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In recent years, soil acidification has become a prominent problem restricting the sustainable development of agriculture. Large areas of cultivated land are affected by acidification to varying degrees, especially in regions of red soil, laterite and acid paddy soil. The soil pH value is generally low, and in some plots, it has even dropped to the level of extreme acidity, which seriously threatens the quality of cultivated land and crop growth. There are two main reasons for soil acidification: one is the long-term excessive use of chemical nitrogen fertilizers such as ammonium sulfate and urea in agricultural production, which leads to the continuous production of hydrogen ions in the process of ammoniation and nitrification, thereby destroying the original acid-base balance; the other is external environmental factors such as acid rain deposition and industrial waste gas emission. In some areas, due to the concentration of acid gas emission and frequent rainfall, acid substances enter the soil with precipitation or dry deposition, accelerating the leaching of calcium, magnesium and other base ions, and further accelerating the acidification process.

[0003] The harm of soil acidification is multifaceted: not only can it significantly reduce the buffering capacity of the soil, making it less resistant to changes in acidity and alkalinity, but it can also activate harmful ions such as aluminum and manganese in the soil. High concentrations of exchangeable aluminum ions can damage the root structure of crops, leading to root deformities, lack of lateral roots and root hairs, and the formation of "aluminum toxicity" phenomenon, thereby inhibiting the absorption of water and nutrients by crops. At the same time, acidification also increases the positive charge of soil colloids, reducing their ability to adsorb calcium, magnesium, potassium and other base ions, causing nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other essential nutrients to be lost with precipitation or irrigation water, not only causing a decline in fertilizer efficiency, but also causing water eutrophication and other agricultural non-point source pollution problems, forming a vicious cycle of "acidification - lack of fertilizer - pollution".

[0004] Existing improvement methods can alleviate soil acidification to some extent, but still have obvious limitations. The application of limestone and other chemical modifiers can quickly increase the soil pH, but the solubility is low and the movement in the soil profile is slow, and the improvement effect on the subsoil acidification is limited. Long-term and large-scale application can easily lead to soil compaction and damage to the aggregate structure. Increasing the application of organic fertilizer can improve the soil buffering capacity and provide a habitat for microorganisms, but the required amount is large, the transportation and application cost is high, and the nutrient release rate is difficult to control, making it difficult to accurately match the fertilizer demand rhythm of crops. Traditional biochar modifiers have porous structure and strong adsorption capacity, but are designed with single pore size and lack of graded release mechanism. The nutrient release process is either too fast and prone to leaching or too slow and prone to nutrient deficiency. At the same time, the soil improvement function is single, and it is difficult to simultaneously achieve acidification relief and precise fertilizer supply.

[0005] In addition, although the conventional slow-release fertilizer can prolong the nutrient release period, it is usually coated with high-molecular materials such as polyvinyl alcohol and epoxy resin, which is not only high in cost and not conducive to large-scale application, but also lacks pH response characteristics. In acid soil, such coated materials swell slowly, resulting in insufficient early nutrient release and easy occurrence of nutrient deficiency symptoms in crops; when the soil acidity is improved, the coating is difficult to adjust the release rate according to the environmental changes, and there is still a risk of nutrient waste and loss, which cannot meet the phased demand for nutrient supply in the dynamic improvement process of acidified soil.

[0006] Therefore, in view of the above prior art, it is urgent to develop a biochar-based slow-release fertilizer for improving acidified soil and a preparation method thereof. SUMMARY

[0007] Therefore, the purpose of the present application is to provide a biochar-based slow-release fertilizer for improving acidified soil and a preparation method thereof, so as to solve the problems of poor persistence, large dosage, unstable nutrient release, single soil improvement ability, dependence on high-molecular coating, high cost and lack of pH response ability in the prior art.

[0036] Test period: 120 d of whole growth period of rice, 60 d of vigorous growth period of flue-cured tobacco; each treatment is set with 3 repetitions, and the results are averaged, and the related test methods and instruments are shown in Tables 1-2: Table 1 Test items and methods Table 2 Test items and test instruments The performance test results are shown in Tables 3-4: Table 3 Performance test example summary table Table 4 Performance test comparative example summary table Data analysis: As can be seen from the test results in the table, the improved acidified soil biochar-based slow-release fertilizer prepared by the application is excellent in soil improvement effect, nutrient utilization efficiency, crop growth quality and fertilizer physical properties, and with the increase of pyrolysis temperature, nutrient solution concentration and optimization of slow-release film thickness, the performances are all optimal.

[0037] Comparative Example 1 cannot realize the release of nutrients with “quick-acting, medium-acting and long-acting” due to the lack of porous diameter gradient cooperation, the nutrient release period is only 50% of Example 1, the nitrogen utilization rate is 16.2 percentage points lower than that of Example 1, and the rice yield is reduced by 19.4%; at the same time, the pH of ordinary wood chip carbon is low, the soil pH is only increased to 4.9, the exchangeable Al³⁺ concentration is 1.88 times of Example 1, and the aluminum toxicity relief effect is significantly insufficient; Comparative Example 2 uses a conventional polymer film without pH response and without a three-layer structure, and the film layer swells slowly in acid soil, resulting in insufficient nutrient supply in the early stage (the root dry weight of flue-cured tobacco is 19.6% lower than that of Example 1); in the later stage, it cannot be accurately controlled, the nutrient leaching is serious, the nitrogen utilization rate is 12.9 percentage points lower, and the mechanical properties of PVA film are poor, the particle compressive strength is 24% lower than that of Example 1, highlighting the necessity of a three-layer pH-responsive composite film; In Comparative Example 3, although ordinary quicklime can short-term increase the soil pH, it lacks the effect of magnesium element on the improvement of cation exchange capacity and the effect of silicon element on the relief of aluminum toxicity, the soil buffer capacity is 20% lower than that of Example 1, and the exchangeable Al³⁺ concentration is 38.5% higher; and quicklime can easily cause soil compaction, and the root dry weight of flue-cured tobacco is reduced by 12.7%, which proves that the synergistic soil improvement effect of functional acid soil improver and biochar cannot be replaced. In Comparative Example 4, since the vacuum temperature control spraying process is not used, the nutrients cannot be fully embedded in the pores of the biochar, and are easy to be lost with irrigation, the nitrogen utilization rate is 8.4 percentage points lower than that of Example 1, and the nutrient release period is shortened by 22.2%; but because the other core design is retained, the performance is better than that of Comparative Examples 1-3, which shows that the preparation process plays a role in improving the efficiency of nutrient loading; In Comparative Example 5, the pore structure of biochar collapses under air atmosphere, the degree of aromatization decreases, the specific surface area decreases significantly, the nutrient adsorption capacity decreases, the nitrogen utilization rate is 14 percentage points lower, and the nutrient release period is shortened by 38.9%; and the air pyrolysis produces acidic functional groups, the pH of biochar decreases, and the soil improvement effect is weakened (the soil pH is 0.4 lower than that of Example 1), which proves that anaerobic pyrolysis is a key process to ensure the performance of biochar; In Comparative Example 6, the ratio of chitosan to sodium alginate deviates from the optimal value (3:2), which leads to a decrease in the pH response sensitivity of the membrane layer, a swelling rate that is 30% slower than that of Example 1 in an acidic environment, a nutrient release period that is shortened by 16.7%, and a nitrogen utilization rate that is 6.3 percentage points lower, which shows that the ratio of 3:2 of the membrane material is an important parameter for realizing targeted release of nutrients; Those skilled in the art will understand that the discussion of any of the above examples is merely exemplary and is not intended to suggest that the scope of the application is limited to these examples; under the idea of the application, the technical features of the above examples or different examples can also be combined, the steps can be implemented in any order, and there are many other changes of different aspects of the application as described above. In order to be brief, they are not provided in details.

Accordingly, any and all such modifications, variations or equivalents that fall within the spirit and scope of the application are intended to be included within the scope of the application.
