Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the field of agricultural resources and environmental biotechnology. BACKGROUND
[0002] Bio-organic fertilizer has the effects of improving soil physical and chemical properties and enhancing soil fertility, and plays an increasingly important role in agricultural production. At present, the production of bio-organic fertilizer mainly adopts the method of adding functional microbial agents and organic fertilizer. However, there are problems such as multiple production links, high production cost, and poor compatibility of microorganisms with organic fertilizer and soil. When using compost products as carriers to adsorb functional microorganisms to produce bio-organic fertilizer, the compost used needs to be completely composted. The water content is also an important factor affecting the combination of compost and functional microorganisms. When the water content of the compost is too high, the adsorption capacity is poor and mold is easy to breed, so it is necessary to reduce the water content through natural air drying (Zhang Zhihong et al., 2010) or heat treatment (Cai Yanfei et al., 2003) and then add functional microorganisms. At the same time, the microorganisms contained in the compost will also compete with the added functional microorganisms, resulting in a rapid decrease in the number of functional microorganisms (Zhang Zhihong et al., 2010). Therefore, additional high-temperature sterilization (Wu et al., 2015) or gamma ray sterilization (Tao et al., 2020) of the compost is needed to improve the survival of functional microorganisms in the compost. SUMMARY
[0003] The present application aims to solve the problems existing in the research and production of functional bio-organic fertilizer. A new technology for producing bio-organic fertilizer by inoculating growth-promoting microorganisms in the secondary fermentation stage of compost to proliferate in the secondary fermentation pile is invented. This method combines the production processes of functional microorganisms and organic fertilizer, which is simple and low in cost.
