Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of agricultural planting, and in particular relates to a method for promoting rapid decomposition of dryland corn stalks by utilizing microbial agents. Background Art
[0002] Returning straw to the field is a method of applying straw (wheat straw, corn straw and rice straw) to the soil directly or after it has been piled up and composted. It is a measure to improve soil fertility and increase production that is widely valued in the world today. It not only avoids the air pollution caused by straw burning, but also has the effect of increasing fertilizer and yield.
[0003] Straw is mainly composed of lignin, cellulose, hemicellulose and other difficult-to-degrade substances. In the natural state, the degradation rate of straw is slow. At present, it is generally believed that the application of straw composting agents is conducive to the reproduction of beneficial microorganisms and accelerates the composting of organic wastes such as straw. However, there are fewer types of composting agents for returning straw to the field, and the strains have poor adaptability and stability, resulting in poor decomposition effect on the returned straw. In addition, due to the short time interval between wheat and corn rotation in the northwest region, the previous season's crops often have no time to decompose and accumulate and remain in the soil for a long time, thus affecting the sowing and tillage of the next season's crops. If wheat is sown when the corn straw is not completely decomposed, not only will the wheat seeds be unable to combine with the soil, but the straw in the soil will compete with the crops for nutrients, resulting in difficulty in germination of wheat seeds, reduced emergence rate and reduced yield. Therefore, it is of great significance to select and breed efficient straw-degrading bacteria adapted to the northwest region and develop efficient decomposing wheat-corn straw composite bacterial agents with both decomposition and growth-promoting functions for returning straw to the field in wheat-corn rotation areas.
[0004] After searching the Chinese patent with the authorization announcement number CN116376744B, a stalk-decomposing agent and a method for burying corn stalks and promoting decomposition are disclosed. The method is as follows: the process of making straw organic fertilizer includes piling the fluffed corn stalks into a container and after the pile is piled to a height of 1 meter, laying the first layer of micro-spraying tape, and then watering the pile until the weight ratio of water to straw is 1:2, and then evenly spreading the stalk-decomposing agent and urea on the surface of the pile and spraying a small amount of water, wherein the stalk-decomposing agent and urea sprinkled on the surface of the pile are 1 / 2 of the total amount. 3. The amount of stalk decomposition agent and urea is added at a ratio of 2 kg and 10 kg per ton of straw; continue to pile the straw to 2 meters, lay the second layer of micro-spraying belt, and water the pile until the weight ratio of water to dry straw is 3:5. The total duration of the second water spraying is 72 hours. Then, sprinkle the remaining 2 / 3 of the stalk decomposition agent and urea evenly on the surface of the straw in the pile, and continue to spray water for 6 hours. During the fermentation period, the temperature is controlled at 50-63°C. When the fermentation is about 20 days, black plastic film is used for fermentation for 15 days. This experiment makes full use of the straw decomposition agent, accelerates the decomposition of straw, removes the unfavorable factors of plant growth, and can promote plant growth well.
[0005] However, in the process of implementing the present invention, the inventors found that the following problems in the prior art have not been solved: The traditional method has a complicated process, relies on a precise preparation process, and has a high cost; the coverage rate is insufficient, and the duration is not considered, so it is impossible to ensure the continuous survival time of the microbial agent; the cost is relatively high, the preparation process is cumbersome, there is energy waste, and it cannot be widely promoted on a large scale. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The object of the present invention is to provide a method for promoting the decomposition of straw returned to the field, which can effectively avoid energy waste, reduce operation costs, improve operation efficiency, has simple operation steps, good straw returning effect, and plays a role in promoting agricultural water conservation, cost reduction, yield increase, quality improvement, and efficiency increase, and plays a positive role in environmental protection and agricultural sustainable development. Moreover, it scientifically and effectively increases the organic matter content of farmland soil; improves the soil structure, makes the soil loose, and increases the porosity; increases the soil microbial activity, and promotes the growth and development of crop roots. Compared with the existing conventional technologies, this method avoids the problems of difficult sowing, uneven emergence, hindered irrigation, and serious pests and diseases caused by conventional straw returning to the field, directly returns the decomposed straw effectively to the soil, reduces the direct occurrence or overwintering of pests and diseases in the coming year; strengthens the decay and mineralization of straw, improves the emergence rate, promotes the growth of seedlings, and avoids the risk of yield reduction; this method avoids the phenomenon of competing for fertilizers between the growth and reproduction process of microorganisms and crops; improves the decomposition speed and quality of buried straw; timely neutralizes the organic acids generated by the decomposition of fresh straw, avoiding the poisoning of crop roots and the hindrance of straw decomposition; the buried straw returning in this method avoids the inconvenience brought to irrigation by covering straw returning.
[0007] Different from the prior art, this method is simple, the process is reasonable, effectively avoids energy waste, reduces operation costs, and reduces the influence of interference factors on the experiment. And considering the relationship between fertilizers and straw decomposition, topdressing is carried out at the critical growth stage of crops. On the one hand, it provides nutrients for crop growth, and on the other hand, it creates an environment for straw decomposition. It does not require precise equipment for preparation and is suitable for large-scale promotion in large fields.
[0008] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A method for promoting the rapid decomposition of dryland corn straw by using a microbial agent, the method comprising the following steps:

The microbial inoculant "Qiwei Organic Material Decomposer" is selected, and the effective viable count is ≥ 800 million / g.
[0013] Step 5. Plowing the field: Use a rotary tiller to conduct two passes of rotary tillage on the straw return field, so that the straw, chemical fertilizer, straw decomposer, and organic fertilizer are fully mixed with the soil layer. Among them, the rotary tillage depth is maintained at 15 - 20 cm, and the root stubble crushing rate is over 90%, ensuring that the soil in the planting field is broken, flat, loose on the top and solid on the bottom, and the field water holding capacity is between 60% and 80%.

Take 10 g of the prepared dried corn straw and put it into the nylon mesh bag. Seal the nylon bag and bury it flat in the inter - row of the field plot, with a burial depth of 15 cm, and repeat 3 times. Samples are taken during the over - wintering period, jointing stage, flowering stage, maturity stage, and additionally at the corn maturity stage, for a total of 5 samplings to determine the straw decomposition rate.
[0016] Step 8. Harvesting: At the wheat maturity stage, square sample plots, that is, 1 m * 1 m, are demarcated in each plot, and all the wheat ears in the sample plots are harvested. Subsequently, the number of ears, grains per ear, 1000 - grain weight, and yield are measured.
[0017] Step 9. Index determination: The samples at the maturity stage are retrieved, dried, crushed, and digested to determine the organic matter and total nitrogen indexes in the plants.
[0018] Preferably, in Step 3, the straw is corn straw.
[0019] Preferably, in Step 4, the microbial inoculant includes beneficial bacillus, trichoderma, and yeast.
