[0027] The present invention provides a forestry seedling cultivation device, such as Figures 1 to 7 As shown, it includes a cultivation cylinder 1, which is set to be cylindrical and has a spiral protruding guide strip 2 on the inner wall; a water storage layer 3 is set at the lower 1 / 3 of the inner side of the cultivation cylinder 1, and the water storage layer 3 includes a water storage cylinder 31, a support frame 32 and a water-absorbing cotton net 33. The water storage cylinder 31 is threadedly connected to the cultivation cylinder 1, and the support frame 32 is set to be honeycomb-shaped and circumferentially arranged on the side wall of the water storage cylinder 31. The water-absorbing cotton net 33 is embedded in the support frame 32. A water guide structure 4 is provided below the water storage cylinder 31, and the water guide structure 4 includes a water guide cylinder 41, A porous water guide plate 42 and a volcanic rock particle layer 43, the water guide cylinder 41 is threadedly connected to the bottom of the water storage cylinder 31, the porous water guide plate 42 is fixedly connected to the water storage cylinder 31, the volcanic rock particle layer 43 is located below the porous water guide plate 42, and a soil supporting net 5 for supporting the seedling culture medium to be cultivated is fixedly sleeved in the cultivation cylinder 1. The soil supporting net 5 and the inner wall of the cultivation cylinder 1 have an inclination angle of 5-10°. There is a gap between the soil supporting net 5 and the porous water guide plate 42, forming an air buffer chamber 6.
[0028] When in use, the soil support net 5 is filled with culture medium, the seedlings to be cultivated are planted in the culture medium, and the water storage layer 3 and the water guide structure 4 are threadedly connected in sequence. When the seedlings are watered, excess water will flow back to the water storage layer 3 through the spiral guide strip 2. The adsorption sponge on the water storage layer 3 will absorb the excess water to prevent water accumulation and root rot. The adsorbed water will always maintain the humidity of the soil, which is beneficial to the growth of the seedling roots. The excess water will be discharged through the water guide structure 4 to prevent root rot. The air buffer cavity 6 formed between the soil support net 5 and the porous water guide plate 42 increases the oxygen exchange efficiency of the seedling roots by more than 40%, thereby improving the survival rate and growth status of the seedlings.
[0029] Preferably, Figure 4 As shown, the aperture of the porous water guide plate 42 changes gradiently along the vertical direction, with the upper aperture being 0.5 mm and the lower aperture being 1.2 mm.
[0030] In this embodiment, the aperture of the porous water guide plate 42 changes gradiently along the vertical direction, achieving a balance between capillary force and gravity, so that the soil moisture content is stabilized at 25%-35%.
[0031] Preferably, Figure 1 As shown, the water storage cylinder 31 is transparent, and a transparent observation window 7 is opened on the side wall of the cultivation cylinder 1, and a water level scale line 8 is engraved on the surface of the observation window.
[0032] In this embodiment, the staff can monitor the water level changes inside the water storage cylinder 31 in real time through the transparent observation window 7 to prevent the roots from being soaked due to excessive water injection.
[0033] Preferably, Figures 1 and 2 As shown, the volcanic rock particle layer 43 is stratified by particle size: the upper layer comprises calcined volcanic rock particles with a particle size of 1mm-2mm, accounting for 40% of the layer thickness, and coated with a diatomaceous earth coating; the middle layer comprises untreated volcanic rock particles with a particle size of 3mm-5mm, accounting for 35% of the layer thickness, with 0.1-0.3mm natural gaps between particles; and the lower layer comprises honeycomb-shaped volcanic rock particles with a particle size of 5mm-8mm, accounting for 25% of the layer thickness, with an internal porosity of ≥60%. The particles in each layer are secured together with a biodegradable adhesive.
[0034] In this embodiment, by setting the volcanic rock particle layer 43 in a gradient, the upper layer preferentially absorbs moisture from the water storage layer 3, the middle layer balances the moisture diffusion rate, and the lower layer quickly discharges excess moisture, thereby achieving three-layer coordinated water conduction.
[0035] Preferably, Figures 1 and 2 As shown, a breathable protective cover 9 is threadedly connected to the top of the cultivation cylinder 1, and a wave-shaped breathable channel 10 is provided in the breathable protective cover 9.
[0036] In this embodiment, the wavy ventilation channel 10 forms a turbulent effect through aerodynamic design, allowing external air to enter the cylinder at a stable flow rate of 0.5-1.2 m / s, thereby preventing direct airflow from damaging the leaves of the seedlings.
[0037] Preferably, Figure 1 As shown, an adjustment component 11 is provided at the bottom of the water-guiding cylinder 41. The adjustment component 11 includes a concave frame 111 and a rotating rod 112. The rotating rod 112 passes through the water-guiding cylinder 41 and is fixedly connected to the water-guiding cylinder 41. The axis of the rotating rod 112 is perpendicular to the axis of the water-guiding cylinder 41. Both ends of the rotating rod 112 pass through the concave frame 111 and are fixedly connected with adjustment blocks 113. A threaded limiting hole 114 is provided on the concave frame 111, and a limiting cap 115 is threadedly sleeved on the rotating rod 112. The inner side wall of the limiting cap 115 is provided with a spiral line 116 matching the threaded limiting hole 114.
[0038] In this embodiment, the device can adapt to various terrains such as slopes and depressions through the adjustment component 11 to prevent local water accumulation. When on a slope, the staff rotates the set adjustment block 113 to drive the set rotating rod to rotate. The rotating rod will drive the water-guiding cylinder 41 to rotate so that it is perpendicular to the horizontal ground, avoiding local water accumulation in the cultivation cylinder 1.
[0039] The method of using the forestry seedling cultivation device of the present invention is as follows:
[0040] The soil support net 5 is fixed in the cultivation cylinder 1 so that it forms an inclination angle of 5-10 degrees with the inner wall of the cultivation cylinder 1. The water storage cylinder 31 is threadedly connected to the bottom of the cultivation cylinder 1, and a honeycomb support frame 32 is embedded in the side wall of the water storage cylinder 31, and a water-absorbing cotton net 33 is inserted. The water guide cylinder 41 is threadedly connected to the bottom of the water storage cylinder 31, and a porous water guide plate 42 is fixed horizontally in the water guide cylinder 41 so that the volcanic rock particle layer 43 covers the bottom of the porous water guide plate 42. Ensure that there is a gap between the top of the porous water guide plate 42 and the soil support net 5 to form an air buffer chamber 6;
[0041] Water storage and water diversion control: water is poured into the cultivation cylinder 1 and the water level mark 8 is observed. The water is transferred to the inner wall guide strip 2 of the cultivation cylinder 1 by the capillary action of the absorbent cotton mesh 33. At the same time, the water flow rate is controlled by the gradient pore size of the porous water guide plate 42;
[0042] Culture medium loading and root guidance: Spread the culture medium on the soil support net 5 so that the thickness of the culture medium reaches 2 / 3 of the height of the cultivation cylinder 1; use the spiral structure of the guide strip 2 to guide the roots of the seedlings to grow downward along the spiral path, forming contact water absorption with the absorbent cotton net 33, and regularly monitor the water level through the transparent observation window 7. When the water level drops to the lower limit of the scale line, replenish water in time.
