Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of seed treatment, and specifically, to a pelleting method for alfalfa seeds used in coastal saline-alkali areas. Background Art

[0002] Soil salinization has become one of the global problems. China is one of the countries with a large area of salinized land in the world. The Bohai Rim region is a concentrated distribution area of coastal saline-alkali land in China. Alfalfa ( Medicagospp. ) is a high-quality leguminous forage with rich protein content, high and stable yield, and high feeding value; alfalfa also has the advantages of being cold and drought tolerant, saline-alkali tolerant, and barren tolerant due to its developed root system, and plays an important role in the efficient utilization and improvement of saline-alkali land in China. However, alfalfa seeds are small and light, and do not meet the requirements of mechanized precision seeding. After pelleting, the quality and volume of alfalfa seeds can be significantly increased; the growth regulators, nutrients, insecticides, and fungicides contained in the seed coating can also improve the resistance of seeds to adverse environments.

[0003] Currently, the pelleting method for promoting seed germination under adverse conditions has become the research focus in the domestic seed processing field. For example, the patent with the publication number CN109042656B discloses a pelleting formula for alfalfa seeds and its preparation method to improve the germination ability of alfalfa seeds under saline-alkali stress. However, the germination of pelleted seeds in China is unstable and the emergence is not ideal, which limits the popularization and application of pelleted alfalfa products in coastal saline-alkali areas. In this area, saline-alkali stress is the most concerned issue among scholars. Among them, the large soil bulk density, low porosity, and poor water permeability and air permeability are important regional environmental factors restricting the germination of alfalfa seeds. The existing pelleting formulas and technologies mostly use water retention agents such as superabsorbent resins to promote seed germination under drought conditions. However, in this area, the drought in spring and autumn usually lasts for a long time, and the pelleted seeds will show the phenomenon of flash seedlings; after rainfall, the soil is sticky and the air permeability is even worse. The pelleted seeds added with water retention agents are wrapped in a "water ball", making the seeds lack oxygen and unable to germinate or emerge above the soil. Therefore, developing a pelleting production process that can overcome problems such as large viscosity and poor air permeability of saline-alkali soil can not only realize the mechanized precision seeding of alfalfa, but also effectively ensure the emergence rate and strong seedlings, which has important practical significance for the comprehensive and efficient utilization of saline-alkali land. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention provides a pelleting method for alfalfa seeds used in coastal saline-alkali areas, which solves the problem of low emergence rate of alfalfa seeds due to the large viscosity and poor air permeability of saline-alkali soil in related technologies.

[0014] As a further technical solution, the raw materials of the hormone layer and the outer protective layer each independently further include a filler; In the hormone layer, the mass of gibberellin is 0.02% - 0.03% of the mass of the filler; In the outer protective layer, the mass of the organic acid is 10% - 20% of the mass of the filler.

[0034] Comparative Example 2 The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is only that when preparing the first oxygen-increasing and breathable layer in step S2, calcium peroxide is replaced with an equal amount of gypsum, and the second oxygen-increasing and breathable layer is not prepared.

[0035] Comparative Example 3 The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is only that when preparing the outer protective layer in step S5, citric acid is not added.

[0036] Experimental Example 1 Taking naked seeds as the control, three groups of 100 seeds of each kind of pelleted alfalfa seeds were randomly selected, and the weight and particle size of each group of seeds were measured; secondly, the compressive resistance and water absorption performance of the pelleted seeds were measured.

[0037] Compressive resistance: The maximum pressure value was measured one by one with a particle strength tester, and the arithmetic mean was taken as the measured value.

[0038] Water absorption performance: A single layer of filter paper was placed in a drying petri dish, 20 ml of distilled water was added to the filter paper and fully wetted, the total weight G1 was weighed, the total weight G2 of 50 pelleted seeds was weighed, the 50 pelleted seeds were evenly distributed on the filter paper, and after the pelleted seeds had fully absorbed water, they were taken out and the pelleted materials scattered on the filter paper were carefully cleaned, and then the weight G3 of the petri dish and the filter paper was weighed again. Then the water absorption performance of the pelleted seeds was calculated according to the formula.

[0039] Water absorption performance = (G1 - G3) / G2 × 100% The results are shown in Table 1 below.

[0040] Table 1 Physical properties of pelleted alfalfa seeds (mean ± standard deviation)

[0041] As can be seen from Table 1, compared with naked seeds, the 1000-grain weight and particle size of the pelleted alfalfa seeds prepared in Examples 1 to 4 were significantly increased, and at the same time, the pelleted alfalfa seeds had excellent compressive resistance and could achieve mechanized precision seeding.

[0042] Experimental Example 2 The following germination characteristic tests were respectively carried out on the pelleted alfalfa seeds prepared in Examples 1 to 7 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4: Take 4 groups each of pelleted alfalfa seeds and unpelleted alfalfa seeds (CK), with 20 seeds in each group. Plant the seeds in flower pots at a sowing depth of 1.5 cm. The tested soil is coastal saline-alkali soil with a soil salt content of 3.5%. Set the soil water contents to 20% and 40% respectively to simulate two soil moisture conditions of drought and excessive moisture. Place the flower pots in an artificial climate chamber with the temperature set at 25 / 20 °C, 14 h of darkness / 10 h of light. During the experiment, replenish water regularly by the weighing method. After sowing, record the seed emergence rate every day. The experiment lasts for 7 days. At the end, measure the seedling height, fresh weight, and dry weight of the seedlings. The results are shown in Table 2.

[0043] Table 2 Germination characteristics of pelleted alfalfa seeds (mean ± standard deviation)

[0044] As can be seen from Table 2, compared with the unpelleted alfalfa seeds, the emergence rate of the pelleted alfalfa seeds in Examples 1 - 4 increased by 10.2% - 19.6%. Under the condition of sufficient soil moisture, the emergence rate of the pelleted alfalfa seeds exceeded 90%, and the seedling height and seedling weight were higher than those of the unpelleted alfalfa seeds. Compared with Comparative Examples 1 - 4, the emergence rate of the pelleted alfalfa seeds in Examples 1 - 4 is higher, indicating that for the layered pelleted alfalfa seeds of the present invention, the functional components between layers interact with each other, significantly promoting the germination and emergence of alfalfa seeds in coastal saline-alkali soil.
