Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of agricultural planting, and in particular relates to a potato loofah intercropping planting device and a method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Sponge gourds are native to hot regions, and they like warmth and humidity. Generally, the growth environment of greenhouses is more suitable for the environmental conditions required by sponge gourds. If it is cultivated in a greenhouse, it is generally sown in late February to early March, planted in the greenhouse in late April to early May, and harvested in late May to early June, and can be harvested until the end of September. The suitable temperature for potato growth is between 10 and 21 degrees. After it is sown, the seeds will germinate quickly if the temperature 10 cm underground is stable at 10 to 12 degrees. They can also grow at 7 to 8 degrees, but it is slower. Potatoes are not cold-resistant. If the temperature drops below zero during planting, they will suffer from cold damage.

[0003] Based on the characteristics of loofah, the prior art CN112219663A discloses a double-increase cultivation method of three-dimensional intercropping of open-field ginger and loofah on a trellis. Aiming at the problems of severe festival scald of ginger in open-field cultivation in midsummer and idle land under the trellis for loofah cultivation, the double-increase cultivation method of three-dimensional intercropping of open-field ginger and loofah on a trellis creates a suitable microecological environment for ginger that prefers semi-shade, is intolerant to strong light, and prefers moisture through the three-dimensional intercropping symbiosis of trellis loofah and open-field ginger, promotes the absorption of soil nutrients and healthy growth of ginger roots, reduces the damage caused by loofah aphids, improves the utilization rate of loofah trellis cultivation land, and achieves the increase of ginger + loofah yield and economic benefits on the same plot at the same time.

[0004] Although the prior art discloses a method for planting loofah and other intercropping crops, the harvesting and sowing times of potatoes and loofahs are similar, and there is a lack of methods and devices for intercropping loofahs and potatoes. The reason is that the two have different space requirements during their growth process, and if loofahs are intercropped with potatoes during sowing, bamboo poles or cutting devices will often fall over. This is because the well-developed root system of potatoes will make the surrounding soil loose, and loofahs will increase the bearing capacity of bamboo poles over time. At this time, the loose soil often cannot support the loofahs on the bamboo poles, resulting in intercropping failure. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the problem that when loofah is interplanted with potatoes during sowing, bamboo poles or cutting devices often fall over, the present invention aims to provide a potato loofah interplanting device.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows: a potato loofah intercropping planting device includes opposing vertical support rods, the tops of the vertical support rods are connected with horizontal frame rods, the bottoms of the vertical support rods are connected with arc-shaped concave rods, the concave rods and the vertical support rods are connected by a right-angle transition, the middle position of the horizontal frame rods is provided with a suspension groove, and the depth of the suspension groove is equal to half the height of the vertical support rods.

[0007] The following beneficial effects are achieved by adopting the above scheme: 1. In the process of sowing using this device, a small semi-open greenhouse is constructed. First, the vertical support rods are used to limit the planting area and range. Then, the vertical support rods are used to provide space for the loofah to climb, and the concave rods are used to provide space for the potatoes to extend downward, thereby realizing planting on different three-dimensional planes, making it convenient for a single device to meet the needs of intercropping of two plants, thereby maximizing the use of space.

[0008] 2. This technical solution utilizes a frame structure to avoid the risk of overturning after the loofah is hung with fruit. First, the plane in contact with the ground in this technical solution is an arc. Secondly, the center of gravity of the device in this technical solution is biased downward. Therefore, when the device is likely to tilt, since the center of gravity is always perpendicular to the ground and the center of gravity is low, when an offset occurs, the component of gravity is always in the opposite direction of the offset direction, and a pulling force is always generated on the device.

[0009] 3. When planting potatoes for a single harvest in one year, this device can sow potatoes in December and then harvest potatoes in April-May. For loofah planting, seedlings can be raised in March and transplanted to the reserved empty rows in April. At this time, the prism can be used to supplement light in southern regions such as Hunan, where the light is not as good as in the north.

[0010] 4. As it is equipped with a light supplement device, the device can provide a two-harvest potato planting method in one year, that is, the first batch of potatoes are harvested at the end of May, the land is prepared for seed preservation, and then autumn potatoes are planted in early September and harvested in December.

[0011] Furthermore, an embedded rod is connected between the concave rod and the transverse frame rod, the surface of the embedded rod has a plurality of grooves, a transverse horizontal rod is connected between adjacent grooves, and both the horizontal rod and the transverse frame rod are connected with vertical bamboo poles.

[0012] Beneficial effect: The setting of the bamboo pole makes it easier for the loofah to climb.

[0013] Furthermore, a prism is loaded in the width direction of the suspension groove, and the refraction direction of the prism is toward the position of the buried rod.

[0014] Beneficial effects: The main purpose of this technical solution is to overcome the defects of different environmental requirements of potatoes and loofahs to make up for the planting window period. This device combines the characteristics of the two for planting, so that the two can complement each other.

[0015] Further, the method for using the potato loofah planting device comprises the following steps:

[0016] S1, construct a semi-open greenhouse, set up the potato loofah as a planting device in the field, and then spread the planting soil on the surface of the buried poles;

[0017] S2, adding fertilizer, inputting fertilizer into the concave rod through the pipeline, using the combination of soil and concave rod to form a closed storage chamber, and replenishing water and fertilizer in the storage chamber according to the growth stage of the plant;

[0018] S3, ridge the land and sow in a wide and narrow row pattern;

[0019] S4, guide for loofah planting, pull the wire on the surface of the bamboo pole to facilitate the loofah climbing frame;

[0020] S5, adjusting the integration of the loofah to guide most of the loofah to grow in the hanging groove;

[0021] S6, prune the branches and leaves of the loofah in a timely manner, and cut the branches and leaves in the hanging trough to obtain the maximum light-bearing surface.

[0022] Beneficial effects: According to the characteristics of the two, potatoes require more sunlight than loofahs to grow, and there are different difficulties in intercropping the two. At the same time, due to the different heights, even if a three-dimensional device is used for cultivation, the support poles of the three-dimensional cultivation device block the potatoes' access to sunlight, which often leads to slow growth and development of potatoes and reduced yield rate.

[0023] Therefore, the technical solution utilizes prism focusing and refraction to facilitate the potatoes at the bottom to receive sufficient light, while achieving temperature stratification at the positions of the potatoes and the loofah.

[0024] Furthermore, the thickness of the planting soil in S1 is not less than 30 cm.

[0025] Further, in S3, double rows of high ridges are implemented according to 1.8-meter furrows and ridges, the planting spacing is 23-27 cm, and a 40-50 cm empty row is reserved between the two ridges. When sowing potatoes, 85kg-100kg of 35%-45% potassium sulfate compound fertilizer is applied per mu as base fertilizer, and applied alternately with seed potatoes, and tobacco powder is spread in the sowing furrow to prevent and control underground pests, and then covered with soil and film;

[0026] When planting loofah, transplant it in the reserved empty rows with a plant spacing of 60-70 cm. Apply 75kg-100kg of 40%-45% potassium sulfate compound fertilizer per mu. Apply the fertilizer in the middle position between two loofahs, cover with mulch, and then pull wire on the surface of the bamboo poles to facilitate the loofah climbing frame.

[0027] Furthermore, 3-5 leaves are cut from each loofah plant in the hanging trough.

[0028] Furthermore, the method further includes S7, adjusting the refraction angle of the prism to supplement the light-receiving surface of the potato.

[0029] Beneficial effects: This device uses light supplementation and focusing to reduce the light impact on the lower crops due to stratification in the three-dimensional planting space, changing the characteristic that most of the lower crops in traditional three-dimensional planting are shade-loving crops. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0030] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of Embodiment 1 of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The following is further described in detail through specific implementation methods:

[0032] The reference numerals in the drawings of the specification include: vertical support rod 1, horizontal frame rod 2, concave rod 3, suspension groove 4, prism 5, buried rod 6, groove 7, horizontal rod 8, bamboo pole 9.

[0033] Embodiment 1

[0034] This embodiment is basically as shown in the attached Figure 1 As shown: a potato loofah intercropping planting device comprises opposed vertical support rods 1, wherein the height of the vertical support rods is two meters, the top of the vertical support rods 1 is connected to a horizontal frame rod 2, the bottom of the vertical support rods 1 is connected to an arc-shaped concave rod 3, the concave rod 3 and the vertical support rod 1 are connected by a right-angle transition, an embedded rod 6 is connected between the concave rod 3 and the horizontal frame rod 2, the middle position of the horizontal frame rod 2 is provided with a suspension groove 4, in which the loofah is induced to climb, a prism 5 is loaded in the width direction of the suspension groove 4, the refraction direction of the prism 5 is toward the position of the embedded rod 6, the depth of the suspension groove 4 is equal to half of the height of the vertical support rod 1, the surface of the embedded rod 6 is provided with a plurality of grooves 7, a horizontal horizontal rod 8 is connected between adjacent grooves 7, and the horizontal rod 8 and the horizontal frame rod 2 are both connected with a vertical bamboo pole 9.

[0035] The specific implementation process is as follows: The main purpose of this technical solution is to solve the problem that interplanting potatoes during sowing often causes bamboo poles or cutting devices to fall over.

[0036] According to the characteristics of the two, potatoes require more sunlight to grow than loofahs, and there are different difficulties in intercropping the two. At the same time, due to the different heights and the use of three-dimensional cultivation devices, the three-dimensional device itself will block the potatoes' access to sunlight, often leading to slow growth and development of potatoes and reduced yield rate.

[0037] Therefore, the present technical solution utilizes the prism 5 to focus and refract light, so that the potatoes below can be exposed to sufficient light, and the temperature of the potatoes and the loofah can be stratified. Therefore, the method for using the potato loofah planting device includes the following steps:

[0038] S1, construct a semi-open greenhouse, set up the potato loofah as a planting device in the field, and then lay the planting soil on the surface of the buried rod 6, the thickness of the planting soil is not less than 30cm;

[0039] S2, adding fertilizer, inputting fertilizer into the concave rod 3 through the pipeline, using the combination of soil and concave rod 3 to form a closed storage chamber, and replenishing water and fertilizer in the storage chamber according to the growth stage of the plant;

[0040] S3, ridge the cultivated land and sow in a wide and narrow row mode. In S3, the ridge is formed by opening furrows and ridges at a depth of 1.8 meters and high ridges are formed in double rows. The planting spacing is 23-27 cm, and a 40-50 cm empty row is reserved between the two ridges. When sowing potatoes, 85kg-100kg of 35%-45% potassium sulfate compound fertilizer is applied per mu as base fertilizer, and applied alternately with seed potatoes. Tobacco powder is spread in the sowing furrow to prevent and control underground pests, and then covered with soil and film;

[0041] S4, loofah planting guide, pull the iron wire on the surface of the bamboo pole 9 to facilitate the loofah climbing frame;

[0042] S5, adjusting the integration of the sponge gourd, guiding most of the sponge gourd to grow in the hanging groove 4;

[0043] S6, timely pruning the branches and leaves of the sponge gourd, cutting the branches and leaves in the hanging groove 4, cutting 3-5 leaves per sponge gourd in the cutting of branches and leaves in the hanging groove 4, to obtain the maximum light-bearing surface.

[0044] S7, adjusting the refraction angle of the prism 5 to supplement the light-receiving surface of the potato.

[0045] In the process of sowing using this device to construct a small semi-open greenhouse, the vertical support rod 1 is first used to limit the planting area and range, and then the vertical support rod 1 is used to provide space for the loofah to climb, while the concave rod 3 provides space for the potato to extend downward, thereby realizing planting on different three-dimensional planes and maximizing the use of space.

[0046] A frame structure is used to avoid the risk of the loofah sponge tipping over after hanging fruits. Firstly, the plane in contact with the ground in the technical solution is an arc. Secondly, the center of gravity of the device in the technical solution is biased downward. Therefore, when the device is likely to tilt, since the center of gravity is always perpendicular to the ground and the center of gravity is low, when an offset occurs, the component force of gravity is always opposite to the offset direction, and a pulling force is always generated on the device.

[0047] Embodiment 2

[0048] The difference between this embodiment and the above embodiment is that in this embodiment, on December 8, 2020, the potato Xingjia No. 2 was planted with furrows and ridges of 1.1 meters, with double rows of high ridges and a plant spacing of about 27 cm, equivalent to 3,100 plants per mu, and a 50 cm empty row was reserved between the two ridges. When sowing potatoes, 100 kg of 45% (18-12-15) potassium sulfate compound fertilizer was applied per mu as base fertilizer, and applied alternately with seed potatoes, and tobacco powder was spread in the sowing furrow to prevent and control underground pests, and then covered with soil and film. Seedlings began to emerge on February 20, 2021, and the seedlings were all in early March. After the seedlings were all in, the mulch film was removed. On April 12 and 19, 32.5% pyraclostrobin was sprayed twice with 1000 times of liquid to prevent and control late blight. The harvest was harvested on April 30, and 1,286 kg of potatoes were harvested per mu, with a net income of 1,608 yuan per mu.

[0049] The seedlings of loofah (a variety specially used for producing loofah, about 1 meter long) were raised on March 20, 2021, and transplanted into the reserved empty rows on April 20, with a plant spacing of 70 cm, equivalent to 600 plants per mu. 150 kilograms of 45% potassium sulfate compound fertilizer was applied per mu, and the fertilizer was applied in the middle between two loofahs. Then, the ground film was covered (the film was not removed during the growth period of the loofah), and then the iron wire was guided to build a frame at the bamboo pole for the vines to climb. In September, when the loofah skin turned black and fully matured, it was picked to remove the loofah seeds and dried. A total of 102kg of loofah was harvested per mu, with a sales price of 40 yuan / kg, a net income of 2,080 yuan per mu, and a total net income of 3,688 yuan from potatoes and loofah.
