[0003] Acidic soil not only has the weakness of low availability of effective nutrients such as calcium, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, but also has the disadvantages of easy hardening, poor moisture retention and air permeability, and is likely to cause difficulties in the development and extension of crop roots. During the process of soil fertilization and cultivation, sulfate radicals left by the decomposition of chemical fertilizers accelerate soil acidification. During straw returning to the field, organic acids generated during the decomposition of organic matter in straw tend to accelerate soil acidification, restricting and limiting the sustainability of the straw returning to the field technology for soil fertility improvement and yield increase on acidic soil. Therefore, if a soil improvement material that can overcome the disadvantages of chemical fertilizers, increase the effective fertility of soil such as calcium, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, weaken the tendency of soil acidification during straw returning to the field, improve the moisture retention and air permeability of acidic soil, and reduce the acidity of the soil can be invented, the purpose of improving acidic soil and increasing crop yield can be achieved, and it has a positive significance for the sustainability of directly adopting the straw ploughing and returning to the field cultivation technology.
