Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of konjac planting. More particularly, the present application relates to a method for interplanting konjac under coffee trees. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the interplanting mode of konjac under coffee trees, there are a series of technical problems to be solved. First, the root systems of coffee trees and konjac overlap in growth space, competing for water and nutrients, which limits the growth of konjac and significantly reduces the yield. Second, the root system of coffee trees deeply penetrates the soil and relies on deep water, while the root system of konjac is shallowly distributed and needs shallow irrigation. Traditional irrigation methods cannot meet the water requirements of both, resulting in low water use efficiency. In addition, although mulching can inhibit weeds and maintain soil moisture, long-term mulching leads to a decrease in soil oxygen content, affecting the respiration of konjac root system and the development of tubers. At the same time, the crossing of root systems provides a pathway for the spread of pests and diseases, increasing the risk of soft rot and root rot. Conventional pesticides cannot penetrate the root zone due to the physical barrier of mulch, and the control effect is not good. Soil structure stability is also a major problem. Konjac tubers are prone to deformity during the swelling period due to local soil collapse, reducing the commodity rate. The nutrients produced by the decomposition of organic matter such as coffee leaves cannot effectively migrate horizontally to the konjac root zone, resulting in low nutrient utilization rate and further restricting the growth of konjac. These problems are caused by the conflict of the ecological niches of the two crops, the extensive irrigation method, and the complexity of soil microenvironment regulation, and an approach is urgently needed to optimize root system isolation, water regulation, gas exchange, and soil structure. SUMMARY

[0003] An object of the present application is to solve at least the above problems and to provide at least the advantages to be described later.

[0004] To achieve these objects and other advantages in accordance with the present application, a method for interplanting konjac under coffee trees is provided, comprising the following steps:

[0005] Excavating an isolation ditch between the rows of adult coffee trees, the isolation ditch being parallel to the rows of coffee trees, 50-80 cm from the base of the coffee tree trunk, 40-60 cm deep, and 20-30 cm wide;

[0006] Vertically inserting a root system isolation plate in the isolation ditch, the isolation plate being made of high-density polyethylene material, 1-2 mm thick, the top of the plate being 5-10 cm higher than the ground, and the bottom of the plate extending to the bottom of the ditch;

[0007] Backfilling the soil of the isolation ditch to form separated coffee tree root zone and konjac planting area;

[0008] Laying a black plastic mulch with a thickness of 0.03-0.05 mm on the surface of the soil in the konjac planting area, and compacting the edges of the mulch to cover the top of the isolation plate;

[0009] Make cross-shaped planting holes on the surface of the plastic film at a spacing of 30cm to 40cm between plants:

[0010] Place the concave side of the konjac seed tuber in the soil at the bottom of the planting hole, and cover it with soil up to a depth of 9cm to 12cm.

[0011] Install drip irrigation tape in the root zone of coffee trees, with a dripper flow rate of 1L / h to 2L / h and an irrigation water penetration depth of 30cm to 40cm.

[0012] Install micro-sprinkler belts in the konjac planting area, with a nozzle flow rate of 30L / h to 50L / h and an irrigation water penetration depth controlled at 15cm to 25cm.

[0013] Remove the plastic film during harvest time and dig along the outside of the isolation board to harvest the konjac tubers.

[0014] This invention effectively separates the root growth areas of coffee trees and konjac by digging isolation trenches between coffee tree rows and inserting root isolation boards, significantly reducing competition for water and nutrients between the two. The laying of black plastic mulch suppresses weed growth and maintains soil moisture, while cross-shaped planting holes ensure precise positioning of konjac tubers. The differentiated configuration of drip irrigation tape and micro-sprinkler tape meets the deep water absorption characteristics of coffee trees and the shallow water requirements of konjac. During harvest, digging along the isolation boards avoids damage to the tubers, improving the integrity rate of the konjac tubers.

[0015] Preferably, before laying the black plastic film, a porous oxygen supply pipe is laid on the soil surface of the konjac planting area. The porous oxygen supply pipe is a PVC corrugated pipe with a diameter of 3cm to 5cm, and the pipe wall has a hole density of 20 to 30 holes per square meter with a hole diameter of 5mm to 8mm.

[0016] The porous oxygen supply pipe extends parallel to the konjac planting row, and one end of the pipe extends to the boundary of the konjac planting zone and connects to the main oxygen supply pipe, which is connected to the fan.

[0017] When laying black plastic mulch, ensure that the mulch covers and presses firmly onto the surface of the porous oxygen delivery pipe;

[0018] During the period from seed emergence to leaf expansion of konjac tubers, micro-sprinkler irrigation should be turned on, with each irrigation lasting 10 to 15 minutes.

[0019] When the konjac leaves reach 50% of the maximum leaf area of ​​a single plant, remove the micro-sprinkler tape from the konjac planting area and connect a negative pressure fan to one end of the porous oxygen supply pipe, operating at a speed of 5m... 3 / h to 8m 3 Force air into the pipeline at a flow rate of / h, and extend the drip irrigation tape from the coffee tree root zone to the konjac planting zone, switch to drip irrigation mode, and adjust the dripper flow rate to 1.5L / h to 2.5L / h;

[0020] Maintain forced air and drip irrigation until the konjac tuber is mature and harvested.

[0021] In the present application, the porous oxygen supply pipe is added to combine with the forced air mechanism to dynamically adjust the oxygen content in the konjac root zone under the mulching film, solving the problem of soil oxygen deficiency caused by high humidity environment. Micro-sprinkling irrigation promotes seedling growth during the seedling stage, and drip irrigation is switched and the air supply system is started during the leaf expansion stage, synchronously optimizing the soil gas environment and water supply. The synergistic measures significantly enhance the photosynthetic efficiency of konjac and accelerate the accumulation of tuber matter.

[0022] Preferably, water-permeable holes are added to the isolation plate, with a diameter of 5mm to 8mm;

[0023] The water-permeable hole density is gradiently distributed along the height direction of the isolation plate, with a density of 25 to 30 per square meter in the area 10cm underground to the top of the plate, and a density of 10 to 15 per square meter in the area from 10cm underground to the bottom of the ditch;

[0024] A soil moisture sensor is arranged at a depth of 15cm to 20cm in the konjac planting area to monitor the moisture of the konjac root layer in real time. During the forced air supply stage, when the moisture of the konjac root layer is monitored to be lower than 60%, the drip irrigation system of the konjac planting area is automatically started to supplement irrigation at a flow rate of 1.5L / h to 2.5L / h, and stops until the moisture returns to 65% to 70%.

[0025] In the present application, the gradient water-permeable hole design of the isolation plate realizes intelligent control of vertical water penetration. The high-density holes at the top of the plate promote rainwater infiltration, and the low-density holes at the bottom of the ditch prevent water from flowing back to the coffee root zone. The soil moisture sensor monitors the moisture content of the konjac root layer in real time, and automatically triggers the drip irrigation system when the moisture is below the threshold value, accurately maintaining the required moisture range during the tuber enlargement period, and preventing tuber cracking caused by sudden changes in dry and wet conditions.

[0026] Preferably, a medicament slow-release layer is laid under the black plastic mulch film;

[0027] The medicament slow-release layer is a matrine-azadirachtin composite particle, with a laying thickness of 1.5cm to 2cm;

[0028] The laying position of the medicament slow-release layer is in the soil layer interval 5cm to 8cm above the konjac planting depth;

[0029] During the leaf expansion period to the tuber enlargement period of konjac, 0.1% to 0.2% of Bacillus subtilis suspension is applied simultaneously with each irrigation through the micro-sprinkling belt, with an application amount of 30L / mu·time.

[0030] The invention is to lay the matrine-azadirachtin slow-release layer under the mulch film, directly act on the soil of the konjac root zone, and break through the physical barrier of the mulch film to the traditional pesticides. The Bacillus subtilis suspension is synchronously delivered by micro-spraying irrigation, forming a double protection system of chemical and biological. The slow-release layer is buried at a depth avoiding the coffee root zone, ensuring the targeted release of the pesticide and not polluting the coffee tree, and realizing the ecological safety of the interplanting system.

[0031] Preferably, the matrine-azadirachtin composite particles are prepared by the following method:

[0032] The vermiculite particles are calcined in a muffle furnace at 450-480°C for 2-3h, and then sieved through a 40-60 mesh screen after cooling to obtain a porous activated vermiculite carrier;

[0033] A mixed pesticide solution is prepared according to the ratio of matrine: azadirachtin: ethanol: water = 1g: 2.5g: 15mL: 5mL, the porous activated vermiculite carrier is immersed in the mixed pesticide solution, ultrasonic oscillation is performed for 30min, the ultrasonic power is 300W, and the ultrasonic frequency is 40kHz, and then rotary evaporation is performed under vacuum at 45-50°C until there is no liquid residue on the surface of the carrier;

[0034] The vermiculite carrier loaded with the pesticide solution is placed in a fluidized bed, and the airflow is 1.5m 3 / min-2m 3 / min to fluidize it, and the coating liquid is sprayed to coat the bottom film; the coating liquid is prepared by dissolving sodium alginate and chitosan in a 0.5% acetic acid solution at a mass ratio of 3:1, and the solid content is 4%-5%; the weight gain rate of the bottom film is 8%-10% of the mass of the carrier;

[0035] The particles coated with the bottom film are immersed in a 0.1mol / L calcium chloride solution for 10min, and then hot air drying is performed at 50-55°C until the water content is ≤5%;

[0036] A hydrophobic modifier is sprayed on the surface of the crosslinked and solidified particles, the hydrophobic modifier is an ethanol suspension of stearic acid-nano silicon dioxide mixed at a mass ratio of 10:1, and the spraying amount is 1.5%-2.0% of the mass of the particles.

[0037] In the invention, the porous activated vermiculite carrier is loaded by ultrasonic and coated by fluidized bed, realizing efficient adsorption and slow release of matrine-azadirachtin. The sodium alginate-chitosan bottom film is crosslinked and solidified in the calcium chloride solution, enhancing the structural stability of the particles. The hydrophobic modifier is sprayed to form a water-resistant barrier, delaying the dissolution rate of the pesticide, and ensuring the sustained prevention effect during the entire growth period.

[0038] Preferably, a sisal fiber bundle layer is laid in the backfill soil of the isolation ditch;

[0039] The length of the sisal fiber bundle is 15-20cm, the diameter is 0.5-1cm, and the addition amount is 3%-5% of the volume of the backfill soil.

[0040] The fiber bundles are horizontally layered in the backfill, laid in two layers, with a layer spacing of 8-12 cm, and the uppermost layer is 20-25 cm from the ground surface.

[0041] In the present application, the sisal fiber bundles are horizontally layered in the isolation ditch backfill soil, constructing a capillary water transport network and promoting the lateral migration of coffee leaf decay nutrients. The fiber bundles improve soil porosity and water conductivity, alleviate the blocking effect of the isolation plate on the water channel, ensure water supply for the konjac seedling stage, and shorten the seedling period.

[0042] Preferably, a konjac petiole reinforcing net is laid between the sisal fiber bundle layers;

[0043] The reinforcing net is made from discarded petioles after konjac harvesting, squeezed to remove juice, cut into sections, and hot-pressed into shape, with the mesh holes in a rhombic structure;

[0044] The reinforcing net is laid below the sisal fiber bundle layers.

[0045] In the present application, the konjac petiole reinforcing net is orthogonally laid between the sisal fiber bundle layers, forming a three-dimensional support structure. The rhombic mesh holes of the hot-pressed net disperse soil stress and inhibit local collapse after degradation of the fiber bundles. The composite layer significantly improves soil bearing capacity, reduces mechanical damage during tuber enlargement, and reduces the rate of misshapen tubers.

[0046] Preferably, a coffee peel decomposition layer is laid below the konjac petiole reinforcing net;

[0047] The decomposition layer is made by mixing coffee fresh peel with quicklime at a mass ratio of 100:1 and composting for 15-20 days, with a laying thickness of 3-5 cm;

[0048] 200-300 g of pyrite slag is added per cubic meter in the decomposition layer.

[0049] In the present application, the addition of pyrite slag in the coffee peel decomposition layer blocks the chelation of soil iron elements by blackish substances, eliminating the iron absorption barrier of konjac. Quicklime adjusts the pH value of the compost, accelerates the decomposition of the peel, and activates the nitrogen-fixing bacterial population. The decomposition layer continuously releases nitrogen and trace elements, promoting the photosynthetic capacity of konjac leaves and tuber enlargement.

[0143] Test method: 1) Drug penetration test: sustained-release layer migration: detect the matrine content in konjac rhizosphere soil (0-10 cm depth) by HPLC method according to GB / T 20770-2008, and the sampling time is 30 days after laying the sustained-release layer (konjac leaf expansion period); Bacterial liquid penetration: dilution coating method is used to determine the viable bacterial count (CFU / g) in the root zone soil (0-5 cm), and the sampling time is 24 hours after bacterial liquid irrigation. 2) Soft rot incidence: according to GB / T 17980.54-2004, the incidence at the end of tuber bulking period is counted. 3) Coffee tree pollution risk: GC-MS is used to detect pesticide residues in coffee leaves (GB 23200.121-2021).

[0144] Test results:

[0145] Detection index Example 4 Example 3 Change effect Matrine content in rhizosphere (μg / g) 18.3 ± 1.5 Not detected ↑ 18.3 μg / g Root zone Bacillus subtilis (x10 6 CFU / g)]]> ​ 5.7 ± 0.4 0.01 ± 0.002 ↑ 570 times Incidence of konjac soft rot (%) 4.1 ± 0.6 23.3 ± 1.8 ↓82.4% Coffee leaf pesticide residue Not detected Not detected No pollution risk

[0146] The sustained-release layer is buried in the soil layer 5-8 cm above the seed tuber, directly bypassing the mulch barrier, so that matrine is stably released to the rhizosphere. The bacterial liquid is injected into the soil under the mulch through the micro-sprinkler belt, and the viable bacterial count reaches 5.7x10 6 CFU / g. The synergistic effect of root zone drugs and probiotics reduces the incidence of soft rot from 23.3% to 4.1% (p<0.01), confirming that the drugs have successfully reached the disease occurrence site. The drugs are located underground throughout the process, and no residues are detected in coffee leaves, achieving the dual goal of "konjac disease prevention-coffee safety".
