Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of tea tree cultivation, in particular to a tea tree cultivation method in a plant factory mode. BACKGROUND

[0002] Plant factory is mainly characterized by artificial light source and nutrient solution cultivation, which can realize intelligent control of growth environment and nutrient supply such as light, temperature, humidity, CO2, etc., and is not restricted by soil, climate and other conditions. With the continuous progress of plant factory technology, the production objects have gradually expanded to leaf vegetables, medicinal plants, dwarf fruit trees and other crops. In recent years, important progress has been made in the rapid breeding of food crops such as rice.

[0003] Outdoor tea tree cultivation has many environmental limitations such as air pollution, excessive heavy metals, and extreme weather. Tea gardens have problems such as soil erosion, soil compaction, large tree age, low average yield, and so on with the cultivation of years. With the change of population structure, the problems of rural hollowing, labor reduction and aging, and cost rising are prominent, and the competition of tea products is serious. High-quality tea fresh leaves are the basis for good tea.

[0004] Plant factory cultivation of tea seedlings strictly controls environmental conditions, which can effectively reduce or even avoid the occurrence of diseases and pests, realize clean production, and the tea is free of agricultural residues and heavy metal pollution, efficient and safe. At the same time, it can relieve the heavy and arduous physical labor in the wild and change it into a comfortable production mode. Compared with outdoor picking, plant factory can realize continuous and stable production of tea throughout the year, improving yield and production efficiency. Tea tree cultivation in plant factory can break through the seasonality of tea production by controlling temperature and humidity and adjusting artificial light source, which is conducive to intensive factory cultivation. At the same time, the optimized environmental conditions and cultivation measures greatly shorten the growth cycle, overcome the seasonal differences of fresh leaves, and ensure the stability of tea quality. Multi-layer vertical cultivation can be carried out in plant factory, greatly improving land utilization and saving costs.

[0005] Previous researchers have studied the light quality, light intensity, temperature and humidity of different crops in plant factory, but there is little research on indoor artificial environment tea tree cultivation technology. Patent CN113603521A introduces a soilless cultivation nutrient solution suitable for indoor planting in plant factory, which can promote tea root growth and improve tea seedling survival rate, but the nutrient requirements of tea trees are different at different growth stages, which cannot meet the whole process of tea growth. Some researchers have studied the substrate and temperature and humidity of soilless cultivation, but the differences in variety, environmental variables and other factors are large. Overall, there is little research on plant factory tea tree cultivation, and there is no systematic research and integration of plant factory tea tree cultivation technology procedures. SUMMARY

Other embodiments derived from this specification will also be apparent to those skilled in the art. This specification and embodiments are merely exemplary.

[0030] This invention discloses a method for cultivating tea trees in a plant factory model, comprising:

[0031] 1. Plant factory seedling cultivation and hardening: (1) Bud cutting: Select 1-year-old green stems to the extent of the branch (both outdoor soil-cultivated tea seedlings and indoor substrate-cultivated tea seedlings can be used), wash them clean with tap water (note to wash off the surface insect eggs and larvae), soak them in 0.1-0.2% potassium permanganate for 45s-60s, the cutting length is 3-4 cm, with several healthy leaves and axillary buds, and the cutting edge should be smooth and free of tearing damage; insert the cutting into a wet rock wool block (36*36*40mm), place it in a 50-80-hole plug tray, and cover the surface of the rock wool block with 0.5-1 cm of perlite (to prevent algae growth on the surface), place the plug tray in a matching bottom tray, add F4 nutrient solution (patent CN113603521A) with EC=0.5 to the bottom tray, and perform dark treatment for 1 day at a temperature of 23-28℃ and an air humidity of 85-95%; light source model (ZK-TB18-SB01 / A, wave peak 435-460 nm), light intensity 50-70 μmol / ㎡·s, light cycle 18-22 h / d; (2) Transplanting: when the cutting seedlings grow 2-3 new leaves and the number of new roots is >3 with the shortest new root >3 cm, transplant them into 18*21 cm seedling bags, fill the seedling bags with 2 / 3 of the substrate (peat soil: perlite = 2:1), and pour the nutrient solution with EC=1 into the seedling bags after transplanting, then spray the leaf fertilizer every two weeks according to the growth of the tea seedlings, maintain the substrate humidity at 75-85%, and irrigate the nutrient solution according to the substrate humidity. When the height of the seedlings is 15-25 cm, green shoots grow, and new roots emerge from the bottom of the seedling bag, transplant them into large cultivation tanks (110*85*45cm) filled with 4 / 5 of the substrate, about 180L, with drainage holes at the bottom of the cultivation tank, and use a grid to raise the tank, then cover it with black thick non-woven fabric to prevent the substrate from blocking the drainage holes and causing water accumulation. Plant 20-35 seedlings per tank in the large cultivation tank. Transplanting from the seedling bag to the large cultivation tank requires a hardening period of 4-5 weeks, during which no pruning or tea picking is performed, and the main task is to protect the seedlings. The light quality requirements during the hardening period are as follows: light source model (ZK-TB18-VE01 / A), light intensity 150-200 μmol / ㎡·s, light cycle 12-14 h / d; pour tap water or nutrient solution (patent CN113603521A) with EC=0.5 into the tank after transplanting, and maintain the substrate humidity at 70%-80% during daily management. The water and fertilizer management of the large cultivation tank should follow the principle of "a little at a time", and the nutrient solution and water should be alternately irrigated to avoid water accumulation or nutrient accumulation in the tank bottom, which may cause salinization of the substrate.

[0032] 2. Substrate: The substrate cultivation "two-stage method" of tea plant in the plant factory was established. In the first stage, after the tea seedlings were transplanted, the G4 (peat soil accounted for 65-75%, perlite accounted for 25-35%) substrate formula was used when the seedlings germinated to one bud and one leaf stage, with high survival rate and fast seedling recovery. After one bud and one leaf, G6 formula (peat soil accounted for 55-65%, perlite accounted for 20-30%, red soil accounted for 10-15%) was used to increase water and fertilizer retention capacity, promote root extension, and vigorous bud and leaf, with good growth adaptability, normal new branch number reaching more than 50%, and the degree of new branch lignification being below 35%.

[0033] 3. Full-cycle environmental regulation: tea seedlings are moved into the plant factory, and after the hardening-off period ends, they enter the normal growth cycle for tea harvesting. The tea harvesting is divided into four stages. Stage one: bud induction treatment. Tea leaves are picked according to the tea making requirements, one bud and one leaf to one bud and four leaves. Bud induction treatment is performed 1-3 days after the end of harvesting and pruning. Bud induction fertilizer is sprayed. If the temperature is high during bud emergence, it is not conducive to bud growth. Therefore, the temperature is controlled at 18-20°C. Pure water is sprayed in the morning and evening to increase air humidity. The air humidity is maintained at 80%-90%, which is more conducive to the emergence of new buds. During the bud induction period, dark treatment is performed for 1-3 days. The buds and leaves are greener and fuller than those without dark treatment. The light source model is ZK-TB18-VE01 / A. The light intensity should not be too strong, at 150-200 μmol / m2·s, and the light duration is maintained at 12-14 h / d. Stage two: early stage of vegetative growth (from the beginning of bud emergence to one bud and one leaf), which is 4-24 days after picking. High temperature is conducive to the rapid growth of new buds and leaves. The temperature is maintained at 28-30°C. Pure water is sprayed in the morning. The air humidity is maintained at 70-80%. The light source model is ZK-TB18-VE01 / A. At this time, the tea leaves are in a rapid growth stage, and the light intensity requirement is increased. The light intensity is 200-250 μmol / m2·s, and the light period is 12-14 h / d. Stage three: middle and late stage of vegetative growth (after one bud and two leaves), which is conducive to the accumulation of tea leaf substances. The temperature difference is increased. The temperature during the day is 25°C, and the temperature at night is 18°C. The humidity is increased in the morning and evening. At this time, the tea tree leaves are abundant, and the respiration is vigorous. The air humidity can reach 80%-90%, which is conducive to the fullness of the bud and leaf state. On the basis of the original light source, two blue lights (ZK-TB18-SB01 / A, wave peak 435-460 nm) are added to each cultivation tank (about 1 square meter of cultivation area). The light intensity is controlled at 250-300 μmol / m2·s. The light duration is 12-14 h / d. Stage four: three days before picking, low temperature treatment is performed. The temperature is maintained at 15-18°C. The growth rate of tea leaves is slowed down to avoid the formation of dormant buds. At the same time, the space is dehumidified. The humidity is controlled at 40-50% to avoid excessive moisture in tea leaves, which is not conducive to the subsequent processing of tea leaves. The light quality remains unchanged. The light duration is 8-10 h / d. At this time, the tea tree has reached the harvesting period and does not need too much light. To save energy, the light duration can be reduced. When the relative humidity of the substrate is maintained at 70%-90% throughout the process, it is observed that the tea tree internode is short, the new shoot length and leaf area are moderate, and the overall growth potential is vigorous. After the tea tree is picked, it is pruned. After pruning, it enters the next growth cycle.

[0034] Alternatively, the temperature is maintained at 25-30°C throughout the process, the air humidity is maintained at 70%-90%, the substrate humidity is maintained at 70%-80%, the light source model is ZK-TB18-VE01 / A, the light intensity is 200-300 μmol / m 2 ·s, and the light period is 12-14 h / d.

[0035] 4. Water and fertilizer management: There are great differences between the water and fertilizer management of cultivation tank planting and seedling bag planting. The volume of seedling bag is small, and the water or nutrient solution can quickly seep out, and the roots can absorb nutrients without rotting the roots. The large cultivation tank is deep, and the tea tree roots are in the middle layer. After irrigating the nutrient solution, it is easy to accumulate at the bottom of the cultivation tank. The bottom of the substrate is humid and not breathable, which leads to acidification or salinization of the substrate, and causes stress to the root system. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the water and fertilizer control of the cultivation tank, and irrigate in small amounts and multiple times to reduce the accumulation of nutrient solution at the bottom of the cultivation tank. Once a month, the substrate is flushed with pure water or citric acid with ph = 3.5 to drain the water. The EC value of the water overflowing from the drain hole should not be much different from the flushing water. At the same time, the upper, middle and lower layers of the substrate are sampled every two weeks to detect the soil ph (4.5-6.5), EC (0.5-1) values, etc.

[0036] 5. Pruning: (1) After tea leaf harvesting, the whole tea tree is pruned comprehensively, two healthy leaves and axillary buds are retained at the bottom of the new branch, and the axillary buds are cut flat 1 cm above. Care should be taken not to injure the axillary buds. If the leaves are damaged or aged, another complete leaf and bud should be retained upwards. On the basis of trimming, the top of the dormant bud branch is removed to promote the emergence of the branch again. After pruning, the environmental control parameters are set according to the conditions of stage one of 3. Whole cycle environmental regulation: after 1-3 days, the bud breaking treatment is started. After the bud breaking treatment, the environmental regulation of stage two is entered. New buds can emerge after 10-15 days, and a bud and a leaf can grow out after about 20 days. (2) Pinching: As one of the control means before tea leaf picking, one bud and four leaves are used as the picking standard for making oolong tea. When the tea tree grows to one bud and three leaves, the top bud is manually removed (pinching), which reduces the length of the tea leaf by more than 30% compared to the untreated tea leaf. The picking period can be advanced by 5-7 days. At this time, the environmental regulation refers to stage three.

[0037] The application will be further described in detail in conjunction with specific examples.

[0038] Example 1

[0039] Tea tree growth status and internal substances at different temperatures

[0040] Experiment: One-year-old 'Tieguanyin' tea trees were placed in five different small rooms, and five different temperatures of 15℃, 20℃, 25℃, 30℃ and 35℃ were set. The air humidity was kept consistent at 70-80%, the same water and fertilizer management was adopted, and the substrate humidity was ensured to be consistent. The light model (ZK-TB18-VE01 / A) was used, the light intensity was 200-250 μmol / ㎡·s, and the light cycle was 14h / d. During the period, no pruning and picking were carried out. After 2 months of cultivation, the growth status of tea trees was compared by taking photos, and the internal substances of tea leaves were detected by drying one bud and two leaves.

[0041] The experimental results are shown in Figure 1 and Table 1:

[0042] Table 1

[0043]

[0044] The results show that the temperature is 35℃, the tea tree grows poorly, the leaves are yellow, and there is almost no new branch, so it is not taken for testing. At 15℃ and 20℃, the tea tree grows slowly, the height is low, and the new branch sprouts slowly. At 25℃, the tea tree grows fast, and the new branch grows well. With the temperature increasing to 30℃, the tea tree grows faster, but the high temperature of 35℃ will stress the tea tree. At the same time, 25℃ is beneficial to the accumulation of total amino acids and total tea polyphenols.

[0045] Case 2

[0046] Tea tree growth state and internal substances under different air humidity

[0047] Experiment: Take one and a half years old ‘Tieguanyin’ tea tree as material, place it in four different small rooms, set 30%, 50%, 70%, 90% four different air humidity, temperature keeps at 25℃, adopt the same water and fertilizer management, ensure the consistency of substrate humidity, light model (ZK-TB18-VE01 / A), light intensity is 200-250 μmol / ㎡·s, light period is 14h / d; During the period, do not prune and pick, cultivate for two months, take photos to compare the growth status of tea tree, and pick one bud two leaves to dry and detect tea internal substances.

[0048] The experimental results are shown in Figure 2 and Table 2:

[0049] Table 2

[0050]

[0051] The results show that when the air humidity is kept at 30% and 50%, the growth of tea tree is limited, and when the air humidity is kept at 70% and 90%, the growth of tea tree is obviously more vigorous, the leaf state is more full, the new branch is long, and the bud sprouts are more. Too low humidity limits the growth of tea tree, and high humidity is beneficial to the accumulation of amino acids, tea polyphenols, gallic acid and EGCG.

[0052] Case 3

[0053] Tea tree growth state and internal substances under different light intensity

[0054] Experiment: Take one and a half years old ‘Tieguanyin’ tea tree as material, place it in five different small rooms, set 150, 200, 250, 300, 350 μmol / m 2• s five different light intensity, temperature maintained at 25℃, air humidity in 70-90%, the same water and fertilizer management, to ensure the consistency of the substrate humidity, light model (ZK-TB18-VE01 / A), light cycle 14 h / d; during the period without pruning, not picking, 2 months of cultivation to compare the growth status of tea tree, take a bud two leaves and dry detection of tea leaf content.

[0055] The experimental results are shown in Table 3:

[0056] Table 3

[0057]

[0058] Different light intensity has little effect on the overall height of tea tree, but has a large difference on the leaf morphology. The results show that under 150 μmol / m 2 ·s weak light, tea leaves are dark, thin and large, and have no flexibility when pinched, which is not conducive to the production of high-quality oolong tea; under high light intensity of 350 μmol / m 2 ·s, the leaves turn yellow, the leaf area is small, and the growth is poor; under 200 μmol / m 2 ·s-300 μmol / m 2 ·s light, the leaf color is yellow-green, the leaf area is moderate, the leaf has thickness, and the leaf is thick and soft when pinched, and the production of Tieguanyin tea has high quality, so the best light intensity for Tieguanyin growth under the condition of plant factory is 200-300 μmol / m 2 ·s, and the higher the light intensity, the smaller the leaf area will be, which can be adjusted according to different needs. When the light intensity is 250 μmol / m 2 ·s, the contents of amino acids, tea polyphenols, caffeine and EGCG in tea are the highest, and the content of gallic acid is the highest at 200 μmol / m 2 ·s.

[0059] Case 4

[0060] Tea tree growth status under different substrate humidity

[0061] Experiment: Two-year-old 'Tieguanyin' tea trees were used as materials, and five different substrate humidities of 55%, 70%, 75%, 80%, and 85% were set, the temperature was 25℃, the air humidity was 70%-90%, the light model was (ZK-TB18-VE01 / A), the light intensity was 200-250 μmol / ㎡·s, and the light cycle was 14 h / d; during the period, no pruning and picking were performed, and the growth status of tea tree was compared after 2 months of cultivation, and the tea leaf content was detected after drying one bud and two leaves.

[0062] The experimental results are shown in Table 3: Figure 3 and Table 4:

[0063] Table 4

[0064]

[0065] The results show that when the substrate humidity is 55%, the tea tree grows poorly, and the new shoots are short. When the substrate humidity is 85%, although the tea tree grows well, the proportion of normal new shoots decreases, the leaves are too large, easy to stay buds, and the new branches are easy to lignify, and the fresh leaves are not suitable for tea making. When the relative humidity of the substrate is maintained between 70%-80%, the biomass accumulation is high (fresh weight is high), the internode is short, the new shoot length and leaf area are moderate.

[0066] From the implementation cases 1-4, it can be seen that temperature, humidity, light intensity and other factors can affect the accumulation of tea contents. The total content of tea polyphenols, total amino acids, caffeine content, and EGCG content are highest at light intensity of 250 μmol / ㎡·s, total amino acids, total tea polyphenols, and EGCG content are highest at temperature of 25℃, and temperature of 30℃ is beneficial to the increase of caffeine and gallic acid content. Air humidity of 90% is beneficial to the accumulation of total tea polyphenols, total amino acids, caffeine content, and EGCG content, substrate humidity of 75% is highest for total amino acids, total tea polyphenols, and EGCG content, and gallic acid content is highest at substrate humidity of 80%.

[0067] Implementation case 5

[0068] Growth status of tea tree under different substrates

[0069] Experiment: Set different substrate formulas, control G1: pure coconut husk; control G2: pure peat soil; G3: peat soil: perlite = 1:1; G4: peat soil: perlite = 2:1; G5: peat soil: perlite = 3:1; G6: peat soil: perlite: red soil = 2:1:1. Under the conditions of light intensity of about 150 μmol / ㎡·s, space temperature of about 25℃, and humidity of about 70%, the annual ‘Tieguanyin’ tea seedlings are trimmed to the same height, and the environmental parameters of the four growth stages in 3. Full cycle environmental regulation are set. After growing to one bud and four leaves stage, do not trim and pick, maintain the environmental parameters of stage four, investigate the growth indexes after 2 months, and do data analysis.

[0070] The experimental results are shown in Table 5:

[0071] Table 5 Growth indexes of tea seedlings treated by different substrates

[0072]

[0073] Results found that in G4 substrate formula under the tea seedling survival rate is high, the number of new branches, new branch length is higher than other treatments, good seedling effect, but to a bud four leaves, G4 substrate formula tea seedling more G6 substrate more prone to lignification, G6 substrate under the tea tree lignification ratio is low, the number of normal new shoots reached more than 50%, the degree of lignification of new growth is less than 35%, has good growth adaptability. Therefore, the experiment in the germination to a bud one leaf period using G4 substrate formula, after a bud one leaf change G6 substrate formula to the end of the experiment, found that tea in the survival rate, the proportion of normal new shoots, new shoot length greatly improved, and the proportion of lignification greatly reduced, therefore, the plant factory tea cultivation is more suitable for two-stage method of substrate cultivation.

[0074] Case 6

[0075] Experiment: One-year-old 'Tieguanyin' tea seedlings were used as materials, and according to the requirements of tea cultivation 5. Pruning: After pruning, the environmental conditions were cultivated according to the environmental conditions in 3. Whole cycle environmental regulation: According to the growth state, different states of buds and leaves were picked, and the length of new shoots and leaf area were recorded.

[0076] The experimental results are shown in Figure 4 The growth and development of stems and leaves were monitored. The length of new shoots changed the most and grew the fastest, with the largest average internode change, 27-33 days after pruning. The leaf area changed the most and maintained a high increase, 36-42 days after pruning.
