Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of cabbage seedling cultivation, and in particular to a cabbage seedling cultivation method suitable for planting by an automatic seedling transplanting machine. Background Art

[0002] Cabbage is rich in nutrients and easy to cultivate in the open field on a large scale. It is one of the important vegetables for my country's vegetable supply and export, with an annual planting area of ​​about 900,000 hectares. With the changes in planting structure and consumers' recognition of its nutritional value, the cultivation area continues to expand; the scale of planting has changed from scattered transplanting by farmers to intensive, specialized, and base-based production. In particular, the rapid development of base-based production has led to an increasing demand for efficient, light and simple cultivation technology. Transplanting is the most important link in cabbage production, and its labor force accounts for about 30% of the total labor force. Although there are many transplanting machines in production, the application rate is less than 20%. One of the main reasons is that the seedlings cultivated by the existing seedling raising technology do not meet the requirements of automatic seedling transplanting, with a low success rate of seedling removal and a high seedling damage rate, which does not meet the requirements of automatic seedling transplanting. At present, cabbage transplanted by transplanting machine usually adopts plug tray seedling cultivation to cultivate cabbage seedlings, and the automatic seedling transplanting machine directly clamps the root and stem of the cabbage seedlings to take the seedlings out of the plug tray. However, although the cabbage seedlings cultivated by the ordinary plug tray seedling cultivation method have a high germination rate, the seedlings are uneven, easy to grow too tall, and the seedlings take a long time to squat, which is easy to damage the seedlings during the machine transplanting process. Therefore, the seedlings cultivated directly by the ordinary plug tray seedling cultivation method are not conducive to mechanical transplanting. Therefore, a new cabbage seedling cultivation method suitable for machine transplanting should be provided. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a cabbage seedling raising method suitable for planting by an automatic seedling transplanter, so as to solve the problems of uneven seedling emergence, unreasonable plant height and stem thickness, long seedling squatting time, and difficulty in cultivating cabbage seedlings suitable for transplanting by a transplanter in the current plug tray cultivation of cabbage seedlings.

[0004] The present invention solves the above problems through the following solutions:

[0005] A method for raising cabbage seedlings suitable for planting by an automatic seedling transplanter, the method for raising seedlings is as follows:

[0006] (1) Plug tray and disinfection: After disinfecting the hard plug tray, put the seedling medium into the hole;

[0007] (2) Sowing: After adjusting the humidity of the seedling medium, sow the sterilized seeds in the center of the hole;

[0008] (3) Seedling stage: After sowing, the seeds are germinated in a dark place, the daytime temperature is maintained at 23-27°C, the nighttime temperature is maintained at 20-24°C, and the relative humidity of the air and substrate is maintained at 85-95%. Germination is continued until the cotyledons emerge from the soil;

[0009] (4) Seedling stage: maintain daytime temperature at 20-24°C, nighttime temperature at 14-18°C, relative humidity of air and substrate at 60-70%, and provide appropriate shade until the cotyledons are fully extended;

[0010] (5) High seedling treatment: After the cotyledons have expanded to two leaves and one heart, shade is applied, the daytime temperature is 25-27°C, the nighttime temperature is 18-20°C, the relative humidity of the air and substrate is 80-85%, and the seedling height treatment is carried out at the same time. The high seedling treatment time is 2-4 days. After the high seedling treatment is completed, the plant ash substrate is added again;

[0011] (6) Growth period: After the high seedling treatment, the daytime temperature is controlled at 25-27°C and the nighttime temperature is controlled at 14-15°C. The relative humidity of the air and substrate is 65-70%. The light intensity is increased and water-soluble fertilizer is added.

[0012] (7) Hardening period: The temperature is maintained at 16-20°C during the day and 10-14°C at night. The relative humidity of the air and substrate is maintained at 50-55%. After 3-5 days of hardening, the cabbage seedlings suitable for planting by the automatic seedling transplanter are obtained.

[0013] Since the cabbage seedlings prepared by the present invention need to be suitable for an automatic seedling picking and transplanting machine, it is different from ordinary cabbage seedling cultivation. It is necessary to ensure that the seedlings are neat, tall, and thick in order to reduce damage when the transplanter clamps them. Therefore, the present invention strictly controls the temperature, humidity, and light conditions in the seedling cultivation process and performs high seedling treatment at the same time.

[0014] Furthermore, when cultivating older cabbage seedlings that are more than 30 days old, a 98- or 105-hole plug tray is used; when cultivating younger cabbage seedlings that are less than 30 days old, a 128- or 200-hole plug tray is used.

[0015] Cabbage seedlings with different cultivation times need to select plug trays with different holes to facilitate management and transplanting machines.

[0016] Furthermore, the seedling medium is mixed according to a mass ratio of perlite: peat soil: mushroom residue of 1:1:2, and before use, 2 kg of compound fertilizer is added to each cubic meter of the seedling medium.

[0017] Before raising seedlings, sufficient nutrients need to be added to the substrate to facilitate the growth of the seedlings.

[0018] Furthermore, in step (5), the high seedling treatment is to first spray the cabbage seedlings with a brassinolide solution, and then spray the cabbage seedlings with a high seedling treatment agent 1-2 days after the spraying, and add a wood ash matrix 1-2 days after the spraying of the high seedling treatment agent.

[0019] The high seedling treatment of the present invention is to treat the cabbage seedlings in the two-leaf and one-heart period. Brassinolide is first used in combination with light and temperature to accelerate the elongation of the cabbage seedling stems, which can quickly accelerate the height of the cabbage seedlings at this stage. However, if the treatment is carried out for a long time, it will cause the cabbage seedlings to grow too tall. Therefore, the high seedling treatment time should be strictly controlled and used in combination with a high seedling treatment agent, so as to increase the stem height and the stem thickness at the same time, thereby promoting the healthy growth of the seedlings.

[0020] Furthermore, the concentration of the brassinolide solution is 0.02-0.025 wt %, the amount of the brassinolide solution used is 1 ml / well, and the amount of the high seedling treatment agent used is 2 ml / well. The concentration and amount of the brassinolide and high seedling treatment agent should be strictly controlled.

[0021] Further, in step (5), after the high seedling treatment is completed, the specific operation of adding the plant ash matrix treatment is as follows:

[0022] After the tall seedling treatment, sprinkle a 0.5-1 cm layer of wood ash matrix mixed with wood ash and seedling medium in a mass ratio of 0.5: (1-2), and then water the mixture.

[0023] Furthermore, in step (5), the raw materials of the high seedling treatment agent include:

[0024] Betaine, urea, choline chloride, magnesium hydroxide, hydrolyzed gelatin, tannic acid and chitosan.

[0025] Furthermore, the mass ratio of chitosan, tannic acid, magnesium hydroxide, betaine, choline chloride, urea and hydrolyzed gelatin is (3-4):1:(0.3-0.5):(0.1-0.2):(1.2-1.3):1:0.5.

[0026] Further, the preparation method of the high seedling treatment agent is as follows:

[0027] (1) adding magnesium hydroxide to a 2-3 wt% tannic acid solution, stirring for 1-2 hours and then standing overnight, then adding 3-4 wt% chitosan solution and betaine, stirring evenly to obtain a mixed hydrogel;

[0028] (2) After mixing choline chloride and urea, heat them in a water bath to 80° C., stir and react for 60 minutes, cool and add 10-15 wt % hydrolyzed gelatin solution, stir evenly and add the mixed hydrogel, heat them in a water bath to 40-45° C., stir at high speed for 15-20 minutes, and let stand to obtain a high seedling treatment agent.

[0029] Furthermore, the high seedling treatment agent is diluted 3-5 times before use.

[0030] During the high seedling treatment, the first step is to use the plant endogenous hormone brassinolide to spray the cabbage seedlings with two leaves and one heart to accelerate the elongation of the stem. Since the promotion effect of brassinolide is strong, the growth rate of the cabbage seedlings is too fast at this stage. In order to inhibit this rapid growth, it is necessary to add the high seedling treatment agent immediately after the brassinolide treatment for 1-2 days to slow down the rapid absorption rate of brassinolide by the seedlings, inhibit the high concentration stimulation of brassinolide on stem growth, and then change it to a slow and continuous effect. After 1-2 days of treatment, it is cultivated normally to return to a normal growth state, and then the seedling hardening treatment is carried out. Therefore, the high seedling treatment agent of the present invention needs to first adsorb brassinolide and then release it slowly.

[0031] The chitosan of the high seedling treatment agent contains a large amount of active groups that can form a gel with excellent release performance and suitable strength, but it does not possess the autonomous drug absorption function. If chitosan is directly mixed with tannic acid, its molecular chain will usually be instantly combined with the gel forming clusters or floccules, causing its chemical properties to be unstable, and more easily causing the sudden release of medicine. Therefore, the present invention selects magnesium hydroxide particles to carry out electrical neutralization reaction adsorption of tannic acid in tannic acid solution, and then makes mixed hydrogel with chitosan and betaine. The ionic liquid formed by choline chloride and urea in the high seedling treatment agent has a wide range of solubility characteristics, can adsorb residual brassinolide, prevent the continuous high concentration of brassinolide from acting on seedlings, and the ionic liquid can release the tannic acid adsorbed by magnesium hydroxide at the same time, prompting tannic acid and chitosan to slowly self-assemble to form a thicker liquid high seedling treatment agent, reaching the purpose of adsorption-release brassinolide. In addition, direct contact of ionic liquid with seedlings will damage the epidermis of the seedlings. Therefore, it is combined with hydrolyzed gelatin to form a viscous liquid. In addition to being able to better mix with the mixed hydrogel, it can also reduce the concentration of the ionic liquid and prevent direct contact with the seedlings, thereby achieving the purpose of both quickly adsorbing brassinolide and preventing damage to the seedlings.

[0032] Therefore, when the high seedling treatment agent is applied to the cabbage seedlings, the brassinolide that has not been absorbed on the surface of the cabbage is quickly absorbed and enriched, preventing the brassinolide from continuously stimulating the seedlings at a high concentration for a long time, causing leggy growth and damaging the health of the seedlings. At the same time, the brassinolide is slowly released under the action of the gel, slowly acting on the seedlings to make them continue to elongate. After the high seedling treatment, a certain amount of plant ash needs to be spread and then watered to dissolve the alkaline substances in the plant ash and react with the high seedling treatment agent to completely stop stimulating the seedlings, so that they can grow and develop normally during the growth period and the hardening period.

[0033] Beneficial effects:

[0034] The present invention cultivates cabbage seedlings for automatic seedling transplanting machines by using a high seedling treatment agent and strictly controlling the temperature, humidity and light conditions during the seedling cultivation process. The cultivated seedlings have the advantages of plant height, thick stems and high survival rate, are suitable for machine planting, and contribute to the expansion of the cabbage industry and the development of mechanized agriculture.

[0104] 400 cabbage seedlings from each group were selected and transplanted using a transplanter. The survival rate of each group was counted on the 7th day after transplanting under the same management. The data obtained are shown in Table 2:

[0105] Table 2

[0106] Serial number Group Survival rate (%) Serial number Group Survival rate (%) 1 Experimental Group 1 97.5 6 Control group 5 94.5 2 Control group 1 95.75 7 Control group 6 89.75 3 Control group 2 93.25 8 Control group 7 85.75 4 Control group 3 88 9 Control group 8 91.25 5 Control group 4 92.25 10 Control group 9 81.25 11 CK 91

[0107] Analysis of the data in Table 1 and Table 2 shows that:

[0108] 1. The plant height of the experimental group during the seedling period was roughly the same as that of the CK group, but after the high seedling treatment, the plant height of the experimental group increased significantly and reached 14.1cm during the seedling hardening period, and the stem thickness also reached 3.67mm, indicating that the cabbage seedlings were tall and strong after the high seedling treatment, and were particularly suitable for automated transplanting machines. The control group 9 only used brassinolide gradient treatment, which resulted in the cabbage seedlings growing faster in height after the high seedling treatment, but the seedling stems were thinner at the end of the hardening period, and the cabbage seedlings grew too long. Therefore, the survival rate of the seedlings was low after the final hardening period, and because they were thin, the survival rate was also low after machine transplantation.

[0109] 2. When preparing the high seedling treatment agent, compared with the experimental group, the control group 1 did not add magnesium hydroxide treatment. After the high seedling treatment, the plant height began to be continuously lower than that of the experimental group. This is because magnesium hydroxide has an adsorption effect on tannic acid, which prevents the rapid formation of flocs after the mixture of chitosan and tannic acid, resulting in unstable chemical properties of the prepared mixed hydrogel, and it is difficult to achieve the purpose of adsorption-release of brassinolide after the subsequent preparation of the high seedling treatment agent; the control group 2 did not add tannic acid. Although the chitosan solution itself has a certain viscosity, not adding tannic acid will make it difficult for chitosan to form a gel-reducing ionic liquid, and at the same time reduce the sustained-release properties, thus resulting in a lower plant height; the control group 3 did not add choline chloride and urea, resulting in tall but thin seedlings, and a low survival rate. This is because the addition of ionic liquids can not only dissolve tannic acid and brassinolide to achieve the purpose of sustained-release brassinolide, but urea and choline chloride both have certain growth regulating functions, which can promote the growth of cabbage seedlings.

[0110] 3. When preparing the high seedling treatment agent, control group 4 did not add hydrolyzed gelatin, control group 5 increased the amount of chitosan, and control group 6 directly mixed the chitosan gel with the ionic liquid. The overall growth and survival rate of the cabbage seedlings were worse than those of the experimental group. This is because gelatin can not only better mix the ionic liquid and the mixed hydrogel, but also reduce the concentration of the ionic liquid to prevent direct contact with the seedlings. When chitosan reacts with tannic acid, the appropriate amount of chitosan and hydrolyzed gelatin can also improve the performance of chitosan to a certain extent, thereby improving the adsorption-slow release performance of the high seedling treatment agent. When chitosan is excessive or directly mixed with the ionic liquid, the slow release performance is too slow and the gel viscosity is too high, which hinders the effect of the growth regulator on the seedlings, thereby causing the seedlings to have inappropriate plant height and stem thickness, and a low survival rate when transplanted.

[0111] 4. When carrying out the tall seedling treatment, it is preferred to carry out the treatment between the seedling stage and the growth stage, for the cabbage seedlings with two leaves and one heart, to accelerate the elongation of the stem. Due to the strong promoting effect of brassinolide, early treatment will cause the seedlings to grow faster in the initial stage, but the subsequent growth will be delayed, and they will grow into thin seedlings. Delayed treatment will cause the seedlings to grow taller but not thicker, and the leaves will appear wilted and yellow, which will ultimately lead to a low survival rate.
