Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of saline-alkali land improvement, and particularly relates to a method for improving saline-alkali land based on an efficient cultivation mode of alfalfa, oats and okra. Background Art

[0002] Under the strategic background of scarce cultivated land resources and food security in China, coastal saline-alkali land, as an important type of land reserve resource, its rational development and utilization is of great significance for ensuring the safety of cultivated land and food production in China and strictly observing the national cultivated land red line.

[0003] However, saline-alkali land is not suitable for the cultivation of ordinary crops, and it is necessary to improve saline-alkali land. At present, the method of using crops to improve saline-alkali land has received increasing attention. While improving saline-alkali, it has certain economic benefits and can also increase farmers' income. Among them, forage alfalfa and cash crop okra have received much attention in the improvement of coastal saline-alkali land. Among them, alfalfa is a perennial plant that can continuously improve saline-alkali land for a long time, but the price of alfalfa is low and the economic benefit is poor; while okra has relatively high economic benefits, but okra is an annual plant with a short growth cycle, and the improvement effect of single okra planting on saline-alkali land is limited. Therefore, how to balance economic benefits while ensuring the improvement effect of saline-alkali land has become a difficult point. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art, the present invention provides a method for improving saline-alkali land based on an efficient cultivation mode of alfalfa, oats and okra. Through the efficient cultivation modes of intercropping alfalfa and oats, intercropping alfalfa and okra, and rotation of oats and okra, the yield and quality of alfalfa are improved, and the improvement effect of alfalfa on saline-alkali land is enhanced.

[0005] The specific technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0006] A method for improving saline-alkali land based on an efficient cultivation mode of alfalfa, oats and okra, comprising the following steps:

[0007] S1. Plant alfalfa on saline-alkali land in August-September of the first year, and cut and overwinter after alfalfa grows for 1-2 months;

[0008] S2. Plant oats on saline-alkali land in March-April of the second year. The oats and alfalfa are planted in an inter-row intercropping method, with 2-4 rows of oats intercropped with 6-12 rows of alfalfa. After the oats mature, harvest the oats;

[0009] S3. Raise seedlings of okra in May-June of the second year. After harvesting the oats in step S2, plant okra in the planting area of oats. The okra and alfalfa are planted in an inter-row intercropping method, with 1 row of okra intercropped with 6-12 rows of alfalfa. After the okra matures, pick the okra, then cut the above-ground part of the okra and spread it flat between the planting rows;

[0010] During the planting period of oats and okra, that is, from March to October of the second year, alfalfa is cut 4 - 6 times, and alfalfa overwinters after the last cutting.

[0011] S5. In the third year, alfalfa is replanted or reseeded, and then steps S2 - S4 are cyclically repeated for a new round of rotation of oats and okra.

[0012] Further, before step S1, there is also step S0:

[0013] S0. Set up multiple alfalfa planting experimental groups. The planting densities of alfalfa in multiple experimental groups are arranged in an arithmetic progression. The seeding rate of the alfalfa is 15 - 30 kg / hm 2 , the planting row spacing is 25 - 30 cm, and the optimal seeding rate and row spacing of saline - alkali land alfalfa are selected according to the growth conditions of alfalfa in multiple experimental groups.

[0014] In step S1, alfalfa is planted with the optimal seeding rate and row spacing of saline - alkali land alfalfa obtained in step S0.

[0015] Further, in step S2, the seeding rate of the oats is 125 - 175 kg / hm 2 .

[0016] Further, when planting okra in step S3, if the height of alfalfa ≥ 20 cm, cut alfalfa to a stubble of 10 - 20 cm and cover the bare ground of the okra planting area with the cut alfalfa.

[0017] Further, in step S3, the seeding rate of the okra is 30 - 45 kg / hm 2 .

[0018] Further, in step S1, the alfalfa is sown after the first effective rainfall. Before sowing, 3.5 - 4 t / hm of organic fertilizer, 2 80 - 120 kg / hm of phosphate fertilizer, 2 45 - 55 kg / hm of potassium fertilizer 2 are applied.

[0019] Further, at least 3 groups of sensor groups are placed in the canopy of the alfalfa. The sensor groups are respectively located in the middle row of alfalfa and in the two alfalfa rows close to oats.

[0020] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0021] 1. In the present invention, an intercropping mode of alfalfa and oats, an intercropping mode of alfalfa and okra, and a rotation mode of oats and okra are adopted for saline - alkali land improvement. Alfalfa is used as the main planted crop to improve the saline - alkali land in the long term, and the intercropping of oats and okra is combined to increase the economic income of farmers.

[0022] Compared with the single planting of alfalfa, the cultivation mode in the present invention is more effective for the improvement of saline-alkali land. The cultivation mode utilizes the deep root crop characteristics of alfalfa and the dense distribution of oat roots in the shallow tillage layer of 10-30 cm to construct an overall layout of the root system from shallow to deep in the soil, which improves the physical and chemical properties of the soil and effectively prevents the poisoning of secondary saline-alkali. When the environment is dry, with the evaporation of water in the soil, salt and alkali are easily accumulated on the soil surface, causing physiological and non-physiological dual drought stress to shallow crop oats, but under drought stress, alfalfa can absorb deep soil water and release it to the shallow soil, playing a role in water extraction, supplying water to oats, which can not only reduce the harm of drought stress to oats, but also prevent the poisoning of secondary saline-alkali.

[0023] 2. In the present invention, okra is taller than alfalfa and has a large canopy, which has a shading effect on alfalfa. Since alfalfa grows slowly under high temperature in summer, the shading effect of okra on alfalfa can promote the growth of alfalfa, regulate the temperature to avoid high temperature damage to alfalfa, thereby forming efficient production of alfalfa. After another round of planting, okra is harvested at the same time as the last crop of alfalfa. At this time, alfalfa enters the wintering period, and the stalks of okra can cover bare land. The soil temperature and humidity remain in a relatively mild state, which is conducive to the growth of alfalfa in the next year, improves the wintering rate of alfalfa and the greening rate in the second year, thereby improving the improvement effect of alfalfa on saline-alkali land.

[0024] 3. In the present invention, immature alfalfa is mowed when okra is planted, and the oat harvest time is about mid-June, which is the high temperature in summer. However, since the height of okra is only about 30 cm when it is just planted, and the okra canopy is sparse, it cannot provide shade to the alfalfa. Therefore, the alfalfa at this stage grows slowly and has poor quality and low feeding value. Therefore, the alfalfa above the okra is mowed and covered to the exposed ground in the okra planting area to avoid direct sunlight on the surface, reduce the transpiration of water due to high temperature, play the role of water conservation and fertilizer increase in the okra planting area, and ensure the growth of okra; at the same time, the okra after planting grows for 1 month and enters the initial fruiting stage. The okra plant height grows rapidly from the planting to the initial fruiting stage, thereby ensuring that the okra always provides shade to the alfalfa during the regrowth process after mowing, which is beneficial to the efficient production of alfalfa and the improvement of the feeding value of alfalfa.

[0060] Table 2

[0061]

[0062]

[0063] As can be seen from Table 1, in Examples 1-3, the saline-alkali land improvement method of the present invention was used for alfalfa cultivation, and the water retention and salinity of the soil were improved to varying degrees. In Comparative Example 1, the canopy shading of okra was lacking, which accelerated the transpiration of water in the soil, resulting in an increase in salt content and a decrease in water content. In Comparative Example 2, the straw of okra was not used to cover the soil to form water and heat preservation, resulting in a decrease in water content.

[0064] As can be seen from Table 2, using the saline-alkali land improvement method of the present invention to grow alfalfa not only has a high yield, but also the quality of the obtained alfalfa is good. This is because the shading effect of okra on alfalfa can promote the growth of alfalfa, regulate the temperature to avoid high-temperature damage to alfalfa, so that alfalfa forms efficient production and improves the quality of alfalfa. At the same time, the straw of okra can cover the bare land, and the soil temperature and humidity remain relatively mild, which is beneficial to the growth of alfalfa in the following year, improves the overwintering rate and the regreening rate in the second year of alfalfa, and thus increases the yield.
