Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of agricultural technologies, and particularly relates to a method for nutrient return of macadamia litter. Background Art
[0002] Agricultural and forestry waste is the main pollution source of the agricultural environment and also the biomass resource with the largest biomass. It contains rich crude cellulose, crude protein, lignin, etc., which are carriers of energy in themselves, and at the same time contains rich nutrient elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Rational utilization of it can not only reduce pollution problems, but also bring considerable ecological, economic, and social benefits. Currently, preventing litter burning, encouraging litter return to the field, protecting the environment, and developing ecological agriculture have become the main development directions.
[0003] Macadamia, also known as Hawaiian nut and Australian walnut, has high nutritional value, containing a large amount of oil, unsaturated fatty acids, and rich calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamins, amino acids, and other essential amino acids for the human body. The growth period of macadamia is long, the amount of macadamia litter is large, the decomposition rate is low, the nutrient cycle is slow, and the self-fertilization ability is poor, resulting in a decline in soil fertility in the forest land, a decline in stand biomass, and the decline of plantations. Therefore, studying effective measures to promote the decomposition of litter is of great theoretical and practical significance for accelerating nutrient return, maintaining and improving soil fertility. However, the current measures to promote the decomposition of macadamia litter still need to be improved. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of the above deficiencies, the present invention provides a method for nutrient return of macadamia litter, which can achieve the orderly management of a large amount of macadamia litter, efficiently decompose macadamia litter, and accelerate the decay and transformation of litter. The specific technical solutions are as follows:
[0005] A method for nutrient return of macadamia litter includes the following steps:
[0006] S1. Collect macadamia litter and naturally air-dry it in the fields. After air-drying, cut the litter leaves and litter branches into strip segments with lengths of 0.5 cm, 1 cm, and 1.5 cm respectively.
[0007] S2. Separate the litter leaves and litter branches and put them into nylon mesh bags with a pore size of 1 mm and a size of 15 cm × 20 cm. Each nylon mesh bag contains 10 g of litter leaves or 20 g of litter branches, seal the bags, and obtain a number of litter bags. Place the litter bags flat on the ground surface, fix the four corners, and ensure full contact with the ground.
[0008] S3. Apply ammonium nitrate and microbial inoculants during the flower bud differentiation period (January), the full bloom period (April), the fruit swelling period (June), and after fruit harvesting (October).
[0009] Preferably, the application rate of ammonium nitrate is 8-13 g N·m -2 ·yr -1 , and the application rate of microbial inoculum is 8-13 g P·m -2 ·yr -1 .
[0010] Preferably, the application rate of ammonium nitrate is 10 g N·m -2 ·yr -1 , and the application rate of microbial inoculum is 10 g m -2 ·yr -1 .
[0011] Preferably, in step S3, it also includes applying 1.0-2.0×10 2 cfu / g of Trichoderma koningiopsis and 1.0-2.0×10 3 cfu / g of Cellulomonas flavigena during the fruit swelling period (June).
[0012] Preferably, the application rates of Trichoderma koningiopsis and Cellulomonas flavigena are both 0.5-0.8 g·m -2 ·yr -1 .
[0013] Preferably, in step S3, it also includes applying a composting promoter. The raw materials of the composting promoter include, by weight: 0.1-0.5 parts of glutathione, 0.5-1 part of α-naphthaleneacetic acid, 5-15 parts of amino acid surfactant, 1-3 parts of sodium citrate, 0.5-3 parts of carboxymethyl chitosan, and 100-150 parts of water.
[0014] Preferably, the amino acid surfactant is selected from one or more of sodium methyl lauroyl taurate, sodium lauroyl sarcosinate, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate, and sodium cocoyl alaninate.
[0015] Preferably, the raw materials of the composting promoter include, by weight: 0.3 parts of glutathione, 0.7 parts of α-naphthaleneacetic acid, 10 parts of amino acid surfactant, 2 parts of sodium citrate, 1.5 parts of carboxymethyl chitosan, and 130 parts of water.
[0016] Preferably, the spraying amount of the composting promoter is 1-2 L·m -2 ·yr -1 .
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:[[]]
[0018] The present invention provides a method for nutrient return of Macadamia integrifolia litter. The litter is put into nylon mesh bags with a pore size of 1 mm and a size of 15 cm × 20 cm. Using the litter bags for nutrient return can avoid the light organic particles and branches and leaves being blown away by strong winds during the composting process, reduce the loss of materials, and can be distinguished from the newly added litter. When new litter appears, it can be collected, stored, and transported in a timely manner, realizing the orderly management of a large amount of Macadamia integrifolia litter.
[0019] In the fruit swelling period of the present invention, Trichoderma koningiopsis and Cellulomonas flavigena are additionally applied, which can efficiently decompose the Macadamia integrifolia litter. They can decompose lignocellulosic substances into glucose, xylose, cellobiose, and soluble oligosaccharides through the cell wall degradation-related enzymes secreted by them, thereby accelerating the decomposition and transformation of the litter, increasing the decomposition rate of the litter, and supplying sufficient nutrients to the fruits in the fruit swelling period. The additional application of the composting accelerator of the present invention further accelerates the composting process of the litter, can induce the rapid reproduction of microorganisms, increase the enzyme production, accelerate the fermentation or composting process of organic materials, and produce a large amount of plant growth regulatory substances. Among them, glutathione has an antioxidant effect, which can protect the organic substances in the litter from being over-oxidized, and at the same time helps to maintain the activity of microorganisms in the soil. α-Naphthaleneacetic acid can stimulate plant growth and promote the absorption of nutrients by roots. The amino acid surfactant not only helps to improve the decomposition efficiency of the litter, but also can improve the soil structure. Sodium citrate and carboxymethyl chitosan can adjust the soil pH value and enhance the soil stability, creating a good environment for the growth of microorganisms and the composting of litter.

When new litter appears, it can be collected, stored, and transported in a timely manner, realizing the orderly management of a large amount of Macadamia integrifolia litter. In the fruit swelling period of the present invention, Trichoderma koningii and Cellulomonas flavigena are additionally applied, which can efficiently decompose the Macadamia integrifolia litter. They can decompose lignocellulosic substances into glucose, xylose, cellobiose, and soluble oligosaccharides through the cell wall degradation-related enzymes secreted by them, thereby accelerating the decomposition and transformation of the litter, increasing the decomposition rate of the litter, and supplying sufficient nutrients to the fruits in the fruit swelling period. The additional application of the composting accelerator of the present invention further accelerates the composting process of the litter, can induce the rapid reproduction of microorganisms, increase the enzyme production, accelerate the fermentation or composting process of organic materials, and produce a large amount of plant growth regulators. Among them, glutathione has an antioxidant effect, which can protect the organic substances in the litter from being over-oxidized, and at the same time helps to maintain the activity of microorganisms in the soil. α-Naphthaleneacetic acid can stimulate plant growth and promote the absorption of nutrients by roots. The amino acid surfactant not only helps to improve the decomposition efficiency of the litter, but also can improve the soil structure. Sodium citrate and carboxymethyl chitosan can adjust the soil pH value and enhance the soil stability, creating a good environment for the growth of microorganisms and the composting of the litter.
