Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of forest tree seed treatment, and more specifically, to a method and equipment for pelleting Amorpha fruticosa aerial seeds to improve germination rate. Background Technology
[0002] Amorpha fruticosa is an important ecological afforestation tree species, widely used in projects such as returning farmland to forest and protecting natural forests, and is especially suitable for large-scale aerial seeding. However, during aerial seeding, due to certain characteristics of Amorpha fruticosa seeds and the complexity of the aerial seeding environment, many problems are often encountered.
[0003] However, the seeds of the Amorpha fruticosa are hard and brittle, with a very thin shell, and must not be waterlogged before germination. As a material for seed propagation, it not only boasts rapid propagation, strong adaptability, and high economic value, but also exhibits cold resistance, drought resistance, and salt tolerance. It has excellent wood quality, grows rapidly, and is suitable as a superior tree species for courtyards and streets, as well as for afforestation of barren hills. However, because its seeds are hard and oily, they are difficult to germinate (direct sowing almost never results in germination). Therefore, seed propagation is commonly carried out through sowing and cuttings. Mechanical sowing can damage the endosperm layer, affecting seed germination. The traditional method of directly scattering seeds on the ground and allowing them to germinate freely is difficult to control in terms of germination time and quantity, leading to difficulties in management and ultimately failing to achieve the desired results.
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, a technical solution is provided. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the embodiments of the present invention provide a method and equipment for pelleting Amorpha fruticosa aerial seeds to improve germination rate, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A method for pelleting Amorpha fruticosa aerial seeds to improve germination rate includes the following steps:
[0008] Step S1: Clean, disinfect, and soak the seeds of Amorpha fruticosa. After soaking, rinse with clean water and then air dry.
[0009] Step S2: Collect fresh seeds of Koelreuteria paniculata to prepare endophytic bacterial solution, prepare adhesive, and stir the adhesive evenly and completely to dissolve it;
[0010] Step S3: Add the Amorpha fruticosa seeds and adhesive to the mixer and mix evenly. Then add the endophytic bacterial solution and continue mixing. Next, use maifanite and bentonite as carriers to quickly coat the seeds evenly and obtain the mixture.
[0011] Step S4: Mix the mixture and then granulate it.
[0012] Step S5: The granulated material is dried and screened, and finally bagged and stored.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment, in step S1, obvious impurities such as stones and leaves are first removed manually from the Amorpha fruticosa seeds. Then, the seeds are placed in a container and soaked in water for 2-3 hours to soften the attached substances. Next, the seeds are gently rubbed by hand to remove the pulp and impurities. Different sieves are used to filter the seeds and separate them from the impurities. After that, the seeds are rinsed with water until the water becomes clear. Finally, the cleaned seeds are placed on a towel or paper towel and placed in a ventilated place to dry, avoiding direct sunlight.
[0014] In a preferred embodiment, in step S1, the washed seeds are soaked in a 1% potassium permanganate solution for 10-15 minutes to kill some of the pathogens, pests and insect eggs on the seed surface and inside, while breaking seed dormancy, softening the seed coat, and making it easier for water and oxygen to enter the seed.
[0015] In a preferred embodiment, in step S1, the disinfected seeds are placed in a container and warm water at 30-40°C is poured in to completely submerge the seeds. The seeds are soaked for 12-18 hours, and the soaking time may be advanced or delayed depending on the specific condition of the seeds. During the soaking period, the seeds are stirred to promote even absorption of water. After soaking, the seeds are checked to see if they have absorbed water and swelled, and whether the seed coat has softened. Finally, the seeds are rinsed with clean water and air-dried naturally.
[0016] In a preferred embodiment, in step S2, fresh Koelreuteria paniculata seed samples are collected, placed in sealed bags, and stored at low temperature. 1g of fresh Koelreuteria paniculata seeds are selected, treated with 75% alcohol for 30s, rinsed 3-5 times with sterile water, then soaked in 10% sodium hypochlorite for 10min, and rinsed 3-5 times with sterile water. Due to the hard texture of the seeds, they are soaked in phosphate buffer for 48h, then ground, and 1mL of the homogenate supernatant is diluted to 10... -1 -10 -7 100 μL of each strain was spread onto PDA, LB, and Gao's No. 1 solid plates, with each dilution gradient repeated three times. The solid plates were placed in a constant temperature incubator and incubated in the dark at 30°C. After the strains grew, strains with different colony morphologies and sizes were picked and purified using the streak plate method. After the colony morphology of the isolated strains was consistent, the strains were preserved in 30% glycerol. The preserved endophytic bacteria were cultured in a shaker at 37°C and 200 rpm for 48 h. 1 mL of the bacterial solution was then serially diluted to the appropriate concentration for later use. The adhesive was prepared according to a ratio of 5.2 g / 200 ml water. The adhesive was stirred evenly and fully dissolved, and the foam was removed by standing or centrifugation.
[0017] In a preferred embodiment, in step S3, the required mass of soaked and dried Amorpha fruticosa seeds is weighed, and an adhesive corresponding to the volume of the carrier is added. The mixture is stirred evenly, and then a suitable concentration of endophytic bacterial solution is added. The mixture is stirred again, and then maifanite and bentonite, which have been screened through a 150-200 mesh sieve, are added as carriers to quickly coat the seeds evenly. The amount of maifanite and bentonite added is determined according to the actual situation to ensure the pelleting effect.
[0018] In a preferred embodiment, in step S4, the mixture is placed into the mixer, and an appropriate amount of water is added according to the total volume of the mixed material and the dryness of the material. The mixer is started to rotate and mix evenly. After the mixture is evenly mixed, the material enters the granulator to expand and form.
[0019] In a preferred embodiment, in step S5, the shaped material is dried in a drying device, and then screened. A screening machine is used to select pellets of uniform size, and unqualified products are removed. Qualified pellets are bagged and sealed, and stored in a dry and ventilated place to avoid moisture and high temperature. A dryer can be used to remove moisture. The seed condition is checked regularly to ensure that there is no mold or pest infestation.
[0020] In a preferred embodiment, a pelleting treatment device for improving the germination rate of Amorpha fruticosa aerial seed includes a pelleting treatment apparatus for Amorpha fruticosa aerial seed and a control device electrically connected to the pelleting treatment apparatus for Amorpha fruticosa aerial seed. The control device includes a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor. When the processor executes the computer program, it implements the method as described in any of the above embodiments.
[0021] The technical effects and advantages of the present invention regarding the pelleting treatment method and equipment for improving the germination rate of Amorpha fruticosa aerial seeds are as follows:
[0022] 1. Through the synergistic effect of multi-step pretreatment and pelleting process, the germination rate and survival rate of Amorpha fruticosa seeds are significantly improved. Pelletizing optimizes the physical properties of the seeds and greatly enhances their adaptability to aerial sowing. Using maifanite and bentonite as carriers, pellets are formed by binding with adhesives, transforming the originally hard, brittle, and thin-shelled Amorpha fruticosa seeds into round particles, increasing their weight by more than 1.5 times. This reduces drift during aerial sowing and displacement after landing, achieving uniform sowing. The outer shell of the pellets can effectively prevent birds and rodents from entering the soil, reducing seed loss. When exposed to water, the pellets gradually break down to form a protective layer, enhancing moisture retention and preventing flash germination. At the same time, they are suitable for harsh site conditions such as drought and salinity, solving the problem of controlling germination time and germination rate in traditional broadcasting.
[0023] 2. Make extensive use of idle sites to carry out large-scale aerial seeding cultivation of Amorpha fruticosa forests. By cultivating Amorpha fruticosa forests, air quality can be improved, soil vegetation can be restored, soil fertility can be increased, and economic development can be promoted. Land that originally did not have forest landscape value can be transformed into forest areas with forest landscape value. At the same time, air quality and water quality can be improved, climate can be regulated and the ecological environment can be changed. Attached Figure Description

When the processor executes the computer program, it implements the method described in any of the above descriptions.
[0071] The seeds of Amorpha fruticosa (purple locust) were pelleted according to Examples 1-3. Germination rate and survival rate were calculated. The control group consisted of naked seeds. The results are shown in the table below:
[0072]
[0073]
[0074] As can be seen from the table above, the pelleting treatment of Amorpha fruticosa aerial seeds using Examples 1-3 significantly improved the germination rate and survival rate, and Example 2 was the best example.
[0075] Advantages of pelleted seed broadcasting:
[0076] 1. Change the seed shape. Change from winged and flat to round, making it easier for the seeds to contact the soil surface during sowing;
[0077] 2. Increased seed weight. After pelleting, the seed weight generally increases by more than 1.5 times. This speeds up the seed landing speed during broadcasting, reduces seed drift during aerial sowing and displacement after landing, and makes it easier to achieve uniform seed distribution.
[0078] 3. Improved bird repellency. Seed treatment effectively prevents damage from birds and rodents, enhances drought resistance, and improves seed germination rate and survival rate after sowing.
[0079] 4. Better moisture retention. After sowing, the part of the seed attached to the surface begins to break down when it comes into contact with water, forming a protective layer on the soil, which improves the moisture retention effect and is more conducive to seed germination.
[0080] 5. Reduces seed "snap germination". Pelleted seeds only germinate when rainfall reaches a certain level, effectively avoiding the "snap germination" phenomenon of naked seeds and improving seed germination ability.
[0081] 6. More conducive to precision sowing. After the seeds are pelleted, a tough outer shell is formed on the outside of the seeds, which increases the volume of the small seeds and is more conducive to field production and precision sowing. Manual sowing allows for better selection of sowing area and seed quantity, is easier to control in terms of timing, and is also simpler and more convenient in terms of organization.
