Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of water-soluble granular fertilizer technology, specifically relating to a water-soluble granular fertilizer suitable for drip irrigation systems and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Fertilization via irrigation systems is a water and fertilizer integration technology that allows crops to absorb water and nutrients simultaneously. Compared with conventional fertilization, this technology has the advantages of precise fertilization, significantly improved fertilizer utilization, reduced labor costs, improved soil conditions, enhanced crop resilience to disaster risks, and environmental protection. It is widely used in crops such as grains (corn, wheat, potatoes), fruits (grapes, citrus, bananas, dragon fruit), vegetables (tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants), and flowers.
[0003] Fertilizers suitable for use in irrigation systems must be water-soluble, and can be divided into three categories: water-soluble liquid fertilizers, water-soluble powder fertilizers, and water-soluble granular fertilizers. Among these, water-soluble granular fertilizers offer advantages over water-soluble liquid fertilizers due to their ease of transportation and high nutrient content. However, water-soluble granular fertilizers face challenges in granulation and a trade-off between solubility and storage stability. Good solubility can lead to water absorption during storage, resulting in clumping and reduced fertilizer efficacy. Furthermore, since drip irrigation systems are prone to clogging, developing a water-soluble granular fertilizer suitable for drip irrigation systems that boasts high granulation yield, good stability, and prevents clogging is of great significance.
[0004] Chinese patent CN119118754A discloses a long-acting water-soluble alkali-regulating fertilizer and its preparation method. The raw materials for this fertilizer are preferably fully water-soluble, resulting in a fully water-soluble product with less than 0.2% water-insoluble matter (G4 standard). Urea phosphate is used as the main acidic substance, allowing the product to achieve a pH value below 3.5 after water dissolution, thus regulating hard water. The raw material ratio is optimized, and a certain amount of ammonium sulfate and powdered industrial monoammonium phosphate are used, while controlling the urea ratio and the use of ammonium bicarbonate after drying. This reduces system moisture, stabilizes system humidity control, and solves the problem of deliquescence caused by material acidity during production. However, the yield of this technical solution is less than 80%.
[0005] Chinese patent CN119798006A discloses an organic-inorganic water-soluble fertilizer, its preparation method, and its application. It is made from the following raw materials in the indicated weight ratios: 0%–65% nitrogen source, 0%–70% phosphorus source, 0%–70% potassium source, 10%–15% organic matter, and 0.35%–3% trace elements. The organic-inorganic water-soluble fertilizer prepared by this technology has good water solubility and can be used for drip irrigation, sprinkler irrigation, fertigation, broadcasting, hole application, and furrow application. It can improve soil aggregate structure, loosen the soil, promote root development, increase the utilization rate of nitrogen, phosphorus, and trace elements, and improve the quality of agricultural products. However, this technology does not address the yield of the granulated product. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The present invention aims to at least solve one of the aforementioned technical problems existing in the prior art. Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a water-soluble granular fertilizer suitable for drip irrigation systems and a method for preparing the same.
[0007] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0008] On the one hand, the present invention provides a water-soluble granular fertilizer suitable for drip irrigation systems, comprising the following raw materials in parts by weight: 20-40 parts nitrogen fertilizer, 15-30 parts phosphate fertilizer, 20-40 parts potassium fertilizer, 10-20 parts organic matter, 0.5-1 part soybean polypeptide, 1-4 parts binder, and 2-5 parts anti-sticking agent.
[0009] The adhesive comprises isomaltitol, dopamine hydrochloride, and water;
[0010] The anti-sticking agent comprises rhamnolipid, acidic polysaccharide, polyethylene glycol-polycaprolactone copolymer, and water.
[0011] This invention uses nitrogen fertilizer, phosphorus fertilizer, potassium fertilizer, organic matter, and soybean polypeptides as active ingredients, providing rich and diverse nutrition to meet the needs of crops at different growth stages and promote root development and nutrient absorption. In existing technologies, polyvinyl alcohol is often used as a binder in the granulation process of water-soluble granular fertilizers. However, complete dissolution of polyvinyl alcohol generally requires heating to 65-75℃, which is not conducive to the rapid dissolution of water-soluble granular fertilizers. During experiments, this invention discovered that using an aqueous solution of isomaltitol and dopamine hydrochloride as a binder, leveraging the low hygroscopicity of isomaltitol and the viscosity and surface activity of dopamine hydrochloride, the combined use of isomaltitol and dopamine hydrochloride not only uniformly coats the surface of the granular fertilizer during granulation, effectively improving the yield of granular fertilizer, but also reduces physical adhesion between granules, lowering the agglomeration rate; and reduces the surface tension of the aqueous solution, increasing the dissolution rate.
[0012] Although the adhesive of this invention can reduce the caking rate of granular fertilizers to some extent, the majority of the components of water-soluble granular fertilizers are soluble salts, which are very easy to absorb moisture and form crystals, making them particularly prone to agglomeration and clumping, thus failing to meet the requirements for long-term storage of granular fertilizers. Traditional solutions typically use oil-based anti-caking agents, but based on the requirement that water-soluble granular fertilizers used in drip irrigation systems be fully soluble and not produce impurities that clog drip irrigation equipment, oil-based anti-caking agents cannot meet the requirements. Therefore, through experimental research, the inventors discovered that using rhamnose lipolipids, acidic polysaccharides, and polyethylene glycol-polycaprolactone copolymers as effective anti-caking agents can not only significantly reduce the caking rate of granular fertilizers but also improve the dissolution rate.
[0013] The inventors also discovered two key details. First, when the acidic polysaccharide is a soybean-soluble polysaccharide, the granular fertilizer prepared from it has a lower caking rate and a shorter dissolution time compared to that prepared from alginate. This is likely because soybean-soluble polysaccharides more readily form hydrogen bond networks with soybean peptides in the system of this invention, creating a more uniform liquid film on the surface of the fertilizer granules and firmly fixing them to the surface, thus preventing granular fertilizer adhesion. Alginate, on the other hand, has stronger viscosity, is more hygroscopic, and dissolves more slowly. Second, the mass ratio of rhamnolipin, acidic polysaccharide, polyethylene glycol-polycaprolactone copolymer, and water in the anti-adhesion agent also affects the caking rate and dissolution rate of the granular fertilizer. The optimal effect is achieved when the mass ratio of rhamnolipin, acidic polysaccharide, polyethylene glycol-polycaprolactone copolymer, and water is 2-5:1-3:5-8:100.

[0137] Experimental example: The water-soluble granular fertilizers prepared in the examples and comparative examples were tested for relevant indicators, including fertilizer granule yield, accelerated agglomeration test and dissolution time.
[0138] The yield of fertilizer granules = mass of unbroken fertilizer granules / total weight of raw materials input × 100%.

[0147] The changes in the composition of the anti-sticking agent in Comparative Examples 3-5 and the ratio of the anti-sticking agent in Comparative Example 6 not only led to an increase in the caking rate of granular fertilizer, but also significantly affected the dissolution rate.
[0148] Finally, it should be noted that the above content is only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Simple modifications or equivalent substitutions made by those skilled in the art to the technical solution of the present invention do not depart from the essence and scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
