Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of landscaping and planting technology, and in particular to a tree transplanting composition. Background Technology

[0002] Tree transplantation is a fundamental operation in landscaping projects, primarily used for the protective transplantation of established trees. With the rapid development of urban greening, people's demands for the quality of urban landscape green space construction are increasing. Tree transplantation is a planting method adopted at specific times and locations to meet specific requirements. It can improve the ecological benefits of green spaces, optimize green space structure, improve the environmental landscape, and promptly meet the greening and beautification needs of key construction projects and large-scale municipal construction projects.

[0003] However, the post-planting maintenance work for large trees, especially those on slopes, is extremely heavy. The current problems are as follows: (1) Since the planting area is on a slope, when it rains, the rainwater flows away along the slope, making it difficult to retain water. After the trees are transplanted, even if it rains, water needs to be replenished in time after the weather clears up. The use of water trucks, the opening and closing of irrigation pipes, etc., require a lot of manpower and resources, which increases the planting cost. The number of waterings is much more than that for planting on flat ground, and the watering interval is shorter than that for planting on flat ground. For planting large trees on flat ground, after thoroughly watering the roots, the second watering is usually carried out 10 days later, and then watered once every 15 days until the trees sprout and survive. (1) After planting large trees on a slope, after thoroughly watering them to help them establish roots, they must be watered a second time 5-7 days later, and then watered once every 7-10 days until they sprout and survive. (2) After transplanting, large trees will sprout a large number of tender buds. The sprouting of a large number of tender buds will attract a large number of piercing-sucking pests such as aphids, planthoppers, and leafhoppers, causing the leaves to curl, seriously affecting photosynthesis, hindering the synthesis of carbohydrates, and making it difficult for transplanted large trees to survive. (3) The slope topography determines that the soil at the bottom is hard, which is not conducive to the growth of tree roots. After transplanting large trees, the growth rate of the roots is too slow, resulting in unsatisfactory tree growth. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention provides a tree transplanting composition to address the above-mentioned problems. This composition has a synergistic effect, which can not only significantly improve the survival rate of trees after transplanting, especially for transplanting on slopes, but also effectively reduce the number of waterings after transplanting.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a tree transplanting composition comprising the following components in parts by weight: 5-30 parts thiamethoxam, 5-30 parts soil conditioner, and 50-300 parts water-retaining agent.

[0006] Further, the composition comprises: 5-15 parts thiamethoxam, 5-15 parts soil conditioner, and 50-120 parts water-retaining agent.

[0007] Furthermore, the composition comprises: 10 parts thiamethoxam, 10 parts soil conditioner, and 80 parts water-retaining agent.

[0008] In this invention, the water-retaining agent is selected from polymer water-retaining agents, mineral water-retaining agents, and biomass water-retaining agents.

[0009] Furthermore, the water-retaining agent is a polymer water-retaining agent.

[0010] Furthermore, the water-retaining agent is a soft, absorbent gel particle.

[0011] The soft, absorbent gel particles (hereinafter referred to as gel) serve as both a water-retaining agent and a carrier. As a carrier, they adsorb thiamethoxam and Argri-SC no-till soil conditioner, allowing them to be released slowly. As a water-retaining agent, they absorb and store excess water in the soil during watering or rain, and release the stored water for trees to absorb during sunny days or when the soil is relatively dry. In addition, when watering the trees after transplanting, the gel absorbs water and expands, allowing the soil and tree roots to come into close contact, preventing root rot caused by gaps.

[0012] In this invention, the soil conditioner is selected from mineral-based conditioners, acid-base conditioners, seaweed-containing conditioners, silicon-containing conditioners, humic acid conditioners, chitin-containing conditioners, biological microbial conditioners, and compound conditioners.

[0013] Furthermore, the soil conditioner is a compound conditioner.

[0014] Furthermore, the soil conditioner is Argri-SC no-till soil conditioner.

[0015] Argri-SC no-till soil conditioner's main function is to loosen the soil. Because the soil at the bottom of the planting pit is relatively hard when planting on slopes, this conditioner can loosen the soil, which is conducive to the growth of new roots. The loosening depth can reach 1 meter. It also has sterilization and water retention effects.

[0016] In this invention, the trees are selected from red photinia, osmanthus, banyan, ash, London plane, Chinese scholar tree, hackberry, green sandalwood, crape myrtle, maple, magnolia, and ginkgo; further, they are selected from red photinia, osmanthus, and banyan.

[0017] The present invention also provides an application of the composition in the transplantation of large trees on slopes.

[0018] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: (1) The tree transplanting composition provided by the present invention has a synergistic effect and can significantly improve the survival rate of transplanted trees. When the ratio of thiamethoxam: Argri-SC no-till soil conditioner: soft water-absorbing gel particles is 10:10:80, the survival rate is as high as 100%, and the growth of the trees is significantly better than that of untreated trees; (2) The present invention can reduce the number of waterings after transplanting large trees, saving labor and water; (3) The composition of the present invention can improve the survival rate of transplanting on slopes where transplanting is difficult. Detailed Implementation

[0019] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] Example 1

[0021] A tree transplanting composition includes: thiamethoxam, Argri-SC no-till soil conditioner, and soft water-absorbing gel particles, wherein the ratio of thiamethoxam: Argri-SC no-till soil conditioner: soft water-absorbing gel particles is 10:10:80.

[0022] Preparation method: First, put 0.5-1L of water in a container, add thiamethoxam and Argri-SC no-till soil conditioner into the water according to the ratio and stir evenly. Then add soft water-absorbing gel particles. After the liquid is completely absorbed, the tree transplanting composition can be obtained.

[0034] Table 2

[0035]

[0036] The results are shown in Table 2: The seedling survival rate was highest (100%) after using the composition prepared in Example 1. The seedlings treated with soft absorbent gel particles had a survival rate of 90.00%. The other three treatments showed comparable results: 80.00%, 80.00%, and 83.33%, respectively. Compared to conventional planting methods, thiamethoxam alone did not improve the survival rate. Argri-SC no-till soil conditioner alone only increased the survival rate by 3.33%, which was not significant. Soft absorbent gel particles alone increased the survival rate by 10.00%. When the three substances were combined in pairs, the survival rate after planting showed that the combination of thiamethoxam and Argri-SC no-till soil conditioner resulted in a survival rate of 83.33%, similar to the effect of no-till soil conditioner alone, indicating little effect. Thiamethoxam: Soft water-absorbing gel granules, with a transplant survival rate of 93.33%, slightly higher than any single agent, indicating a certain synergistic effect, but the effect is not significant. Argri-SC no-till soil conditioner: Soft water-absorbing gel granules, with a transplant survival rate of 93.33%, slightly higher than any single agent, indicating a certain synergistic effect, but the effect is not significant. Using the composition of Example 1, the seedling survival rate was 100.00%. Compared with several other treatments, the effect of improving the transplant survival rate was significant, exhibiting a remarkable synergistic effect.

[0058]

[0059] 2. Experimental Results

[0060] On April 4th, 15 days after planting, some buds on branches of plants in treatments 17-19 began to sprout, and new buds had emerged 20 days after planting. For treatment 16, buds began to sprout 20 days later. On April 14th, 25 days after planting, all the lower branches of the planted banyan trees had sprouted new buds. An investigation 60 days after planting showed that the new leaves of plants in treatments 17-19 were larger than those in treatment 16, and the new shoots were significantly longer, with an estimated average length of at least 4 cm. A large number of aphids appeared at the tips of the new branches of plants in treatment 16. No aphids were observed in plants in treatments 17-19. An investigation 80 days after planting showed that three banyan trees in treatment 16 had their tops peeling and died, severely impacting the ornamental and economic value of the seedlings. No significant difference in growth was observed between treatments 17-19. Comparing treatments 16 and 17, the treatment using this invention can extend the watering interval. Compared with treatment 19, treatment 19 is the normal watering time for transplanting on slopes, while treatment 18, after extending the watering time on slopes, does not affect the survival rate of transplanted trees. Therefore, in planting trees on slopes, the composition of the present invention can save the number of waterings, effectively improve the survival rate of transplanted trees and ensure that the value of trees is not damaged.

[0061] Experiment Example 2: Transplanting of Osmanthus Trees

[0062] 1. Experimental Design

[0063] (1) Experimental seedlings: 65 Osmanthus fragrans plants with a diameter of 18-20cm.

[0064] (2) Experiment time: March 10, 2023, digging and planting were carried out.

[0065] (3) Test site: Shizipo, Yunchen Community Village, Cuiping District, Yibin City. The test seedlings were planted on the same slope.

[0066] (4) Composition ratio: Thiamethoxam: Argri-SC no-till soil conditioner: soft water-absorbing gel particles = 10g: 10g: 80g, 100g of the mixture per plant.

[0067] (5) Experimental Design: This experiment employed two different comparative treatment methods. First, it compared different treatment methods: conventional planting and treatment using the drug method designed in this invention. It also compared different watering frequencies. Specific information is shown in Table 6. The same method was used for wrapping the tree trunks with film and providing support. After thorough watering to settle the roots, watering was carried out in the same manner according to the designed schedule, and watering must be completed on the same day to avoid experimental errors.

[0070] 2. Experimental Results

[0071] On April 1st, 22 days after planting, some Osmanthus plants began to sprout new buds. 30 days after planting, two conventionally planted Osmanthus plants showed signs of leaf drop and wilting, with some terminal branches drying out; the remaining plants all sprouted numerous new buds, proving successful transplantation. 50 days after planting, planthoppers were found on the new buds of Treatment 20, with some leaves showing up to five planthoppers on the back. No planthoppers were found on the new buds of Treatments 20 and 21. During the experiment, it was observed that the new leaves of Treatments 20 and 21 were significantly larger than those of Treatment 20. Comparison of leaves at the same location on branches showed that the new leaves of Treatments 20 and 21 were longer than those of Treatment 20, wider than 0.2 cm, and thicker than those of Treatment 20. 60 days after planting, the number of dead plants was investigated. Of the 65 plants planted, only one conventionally planted Osmanthus died, resulting in a survival rate of 90%. The survival rate of Treatments 21 and 22 was 100%.

[0072] A comparison of treatments 20 and 21 revealed that the treatment using this invention significantly improved the survival rate of Osmanthus fragrans plants, and their growth was also significantly better than that of Osmanthus fragrans plants treated with conventional methods. Comparing treatments 20 and 22, the treatment using this invention not only reduced the frequency of watering but also improved the survival rate, and the plants' growth was also superior to conventional planting methods. This demonstrates that this invention has outstanding effects in the transplanting of large trees.
