[0015] A method for studying plant root diseases, comprising the following steps:
[0016] S1, before the research, first of all, the plant needs to be cultivated, and the nutrient soil is matched and added in the planting pot and the multiple root extension culture boxes, when the nutrient soil is added in the planting pot, the height of the first water distribution sponge and the second water distribution sponge should be adjusted, so that the first water distribution sponge and the second water distribution sponge can form a corresponding root penetration hole to reduce the leakage of nutrient soil into the planting pot, the amount of nutrient soil added in the planting pot is preferably 1-3 cm to cover the top of the middle convex island, the amount of nutrient soil added in the root extension culture box is preferably flush with the top of the root extension culture box, when the nutrient soil is added in the root extension culture box, the first water distribution sponge and the second water distribution sponge should be controlled to be partially received in the corresponding first side vertical rail and the second side vertical rail respectively, so as to reduce the leakage of nutrient soil into the first side vertical rail and the second side vertical rail;

[0018] S3, periodically supplement water in the lifting water storage assembly, when the root system of the plant grows near the root penetration hole and is about to extend from the root penetration hole, adjust the height of the first water distribution sponge and the second water distribution sponge to reduce the height, so as to further guide the plant root system to grow downward, until the plant root system grows into the nutrient soil in the root extension culture box, then adjust the relative height of the first water distribution sponge in the first side vertical rail and the relative height of the second water distribution sponge in the second side vertical rail according to the growth speed of the plant root in the nutrient soil in the root extension culture box;
[0019] S4, because the first side vertical rail and the second side vertical rail are provided with water permeable holes, with the change of the height of the first water distribution sponge and the second water distribution sponge, the moisture content of the nutrient soil in the root extension culture box at the corresponding height is larger than that in other areas, so it can promote the growth of the plant root from top to bottom in the root extension culture box;
[0020] S5, after the plant root grows to a sufficient depth in the root extension culture box, apply bacteria at the box opening of the corresponding root extension culture box, the corresponding bacteria will infect the root system in the root extension culture box, so as to realize the research of plant root disease, because there is a gap between the top of the root extension culture box and the outer extension convex ring, and only the plant root passes through the gap, and there is no soil filling, so it can effectively block the spread of bacteria through the soil, and ensure the accuracy of the plant root disease research.

[0042] It also needs to be further explained that the quick hooking frame 32 is fixedly connected with an upper extension rod 33, the upper extension rod 33 is fixedly connected with a supporting ring 34, and the supporting ring 34 is rotatably connected with the planting pot 1.

[0043] In summary, the working process of the research instrument for plant root diseases and the research method thereof is as follows: before the research, first, the plant needs to be cultivated, and the nutrient soil is added in the planting pot 1 and the multiple root external expansion culture boxes 5. Before adding the nutrient soil, sterilization should be performed to avoid the pre-introduction of bacteria in the later cultivation process. When adding the nutrient soil into the planting pot 1, the height of the first water distribution sponge 9 and the second water distribution sponge 11 should be adjusted so that the first water distribution sponge 9 and the second water distribution sponge 11 can form a barrier corresponding to the root penetrating hole 4 to reduce the leakage of the nutrient soil in the planting pot 1 from the root penetrating hole 4. The amount of nutrient soil added in the planting pot 1 is preferably 1-3 cm higher than the highest position of the top of the central raised island 2. The amount of nutrient soil added in the root external expansion culture box 5 is preferably flush with the topmost position of the root external expansion culture box 5. When adding the nutrient soil into the root external expansion culture box 5, the first water distribution sponge 9 and the second water distribution sponge 11 should be controlled to be partially received in the first side vertical track 6 and the second side vertical track 7, respectively, to reduce the leakage of the nutrient soil into the first side vertical track 6 and the second side vertical track 7. After the addition of the nutrient soil is completed, the plant to be cultivated is planted on the upper side area of the planting platform 42 of the central raised island 2, and the first water distribution sponge 9 and the second water distribution sponge 11 are controlled to form a barrier corresponding to the root penetrating hole 4, and water is added to the water storage box 19 in the lifting water storage assembly. The water in the water storage box 19 will be guided into the first lifting pipe 8 and the second lifting pipe 10 through the guide cylinder 18, the first branch pipe 21 and the second branch pipe 22, respectively. The water in the first lifting pipe 8 will enter the first water distribution sponge 9, and the water in the second lifting pipe 10 will enter the second water distribution sponge 11, so that the nutrient soil near the first water distribution sponge 9 and the second water distribution sponge 11 is moistened. During the initial cultivation of the plant, the water in the first water distribution sponge 9 and the second water distribution sponge 11 will moisten the nutrient soil in the planting pot 1. Since the root system of the plant grows towards water, which is a characteristic of the root system itself, during the growth of the plant, the root system of the plant will grow towards the area near the root penetrating hole 4. The water storage box 19 of the lifting water storage assembly is regularly replenished with water. When the root system of the plant grows close to the root penetrating hole 4 and is about to extend from the root penetrating hole 4, the height of the first water distribution sponge 9 and the second water distribution sponge 11 is adjusted to be lowered to further guide the plant root system to grow downward until the plant root system grows into the nutrient soil in the root external expansion culture box 5. Then, the relative height of the first water distribution sponge 9 in the first side vertical track 6 and the relative height of the second water distribution sponge 11 in the second side vertical track 7 are adjusted according to the growth of the plant root system in the nutrient soil in the root external expansion culture box 5.
[0044] Further, since the first side vertical track 6 and the second side vertical track 7 are both provided with water seepage holes, with the change of the height of the first water distribution sponge 9 and the second water distribution sponge 11, the moisture of the nutrient soil in the corresponding matching height of the root outward expansion culture box 5 is larger than that in other areas, so as to promote the growth of the roots of the plant from the top to the bottom in the root outward expansion culture box 5. When the roots of the plant grow to a sufficient depth in the root outward expansion culture box 5, the corresponding pathogenic bacteria are applied at the box opening of the corresponding root outward expansion culture box 5, and the corresponding pathogenic bacteria will infect the root system in the root outward expansion culture box 5 to realize the research of plant root diseases. Since there is a gap between the top of the root outward expansion culture box 5 and the outwardly extending lower convex ring 3, and only the plant roots pass through the gap without soil filling, the spread of bacteria through the soil can be effectively blocked, ensuring the accuracy of the plant root disease research. For special bacteria that can spread through the air, the box opening of the root outward expansion culture box 5 can be sealed by tape after adding the bacteria into the root outward expansion culture box 5. The sealing tape should be matched with the hole through which the roots pass to avoid damaging the roots. In order to ensure the continuity of water replenishment in the first water distribution sponge 9 and the second water distribution sponge 11, and to avoid the leakage of excess water in the first water distribution sponge 9 and the second water distribution sponge 11, the inner diameter of the first lifting pipe 8 and the inner diameter of the second lifting pipe 10 are both small, and the first lifting pipe 8 is provided with a first insertion box matched with the first water distribution sponge 9, and the second lifting pipe 10 is provided with a second insertion box matched with the second water distribution sponge 11. The top end height of the first insertion box and the top end height of the second insertion box are the same as the top end height of the water storage box 19. The bottom part of the first water distribution sponge 9 is fixedly inserted into the first insertion box, and the bottom part of the second water distribution sponge 11 is fixedly inserted into the second insertion box.

8. A research method for plant root diseases, characterized in that, The method of using the research instrument for plant root diseases according to any one of claims 1-7 includes the following steps: S1. Before conducting the research, it is necessary to cultivate the plants and add nutrient soil to both the planting pot (1) and the multiple root expansion culture boxes (5). When adding nutrient soil to the planting pot (1), the height of the first water distribution sponge (9) and the second water distribution sponge (11) should be adjusted so that the first water distribution sponge (9) and the second water distribution sponge (11) can be matched with the corresponding root penetration holes (4) to form a shield, so as to reduce the leakage of nutrient soil into the planting pot (1) from the root penetration holes (4). The amount of nutrient soil added to the planting pot (1) should be based on the following: It is advisable to cover the top of the central raised island (2) by 1cm-3cm. The amount of nutrient soil added to the root expansion culture box (5) should be level with the top of the root expansion culture box (5). When adding nutrient soil to the root expansion culture box (5), the first water distribution sponge (9) and the second water distribution sponge (11) should be partially absorbed into the corresponding first side vertical track (6) and second side vertical track (7) to reduce the occurrence of nutrient soil leaking into the first side vertical track (6) and second side vertical track (7). S2. After the nutrient soil is added, the plant to be cultivated is planted in the upper area of the central raised island (2), and the first water-distributing sponge (9) and the second water-distributing sponge (11) are controlled to form a shield with the corresponding root-penetrating hole (4), and water is added to the lifting and lowering water storage component. In the early stage of plant cultivation, the water in the first water-distributing sponge (9) and the second water-distributing sponge (11) will moisten the nutrient soil in the planting pot (1). Since the root system of the plant grows towards water, it is a characteristic of the root system itself. Therefore, during the plant growth process, the root system of the plant will grow towards the area near the root-penetrating hole (4). S3. Regularly replenish water in the lifting and lowering water storage component. When the plant roots are close to the root penetration hole (4) and about to emerge from the root penetration hole (4), adjust the height of the first water distribution sponge (9) and the second water distribution sponge (11) to further guide the plant roots to grow downward until the plant roots grow into the nutrient soil in the root expansion culture box (5). Then, adjust the relative height of the first water distribution sponge (9) in the first side vertical track (6) and the relative height of the second water distribution sponge (11) in the second side vertical track (7) according to the growth rate of the plant roots in the nutrient soil in the root expansion culture box (5). S4. Since both the first side vertical track (6) and the second side vertical track (7) are equipped with water seepage holes, as the height of the first water distribution sponge (9) and the second water distribution sponge (11) changes, the moisture content of the nutrient soil at the matching height in the root expansion culture box (5) is greater than that in other areas, so it can promote the growth of plant roots from top to bottom in the root expansion culture box (5). S5. After the plant roots have grown to a sufficient depth in the root expansion culture box (5), pathogens are applied to the opening of the corresponding root expansion culture box (5). The pathogens will infect the roots in the root expansion culture box (5) to achieve the study of plant root diseases. Since there is a gap between the top of the root expansion culture box (5) and the outer lower convex ring (3), and only the plant roots pass through the gap without soil filling, it can effectively block the spread of bacteria through the soil and ensure the accuracy of plant root disease research.
