Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of aerial seeding technology, specifically relating to an aerial seeding ball and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Aerial seeding is an ecological restoration technology that uses airplanes or drones to sow seeds on a large scale. It is mainly used in desertification control, mine reclamation, and forest restoration. Its core is to wrap the seeds in specially designed "seed balls" to overcome the problem of low survival rate caused by exposed seeds in traditional aerial seeding.

[0003] In existing technologies, aerial seeding directly scatters seeds onto the ground, which makes the seeds easily blown away by the wind or damaged by animals. Some bulbs, after being scattered onto the ground, experience a large impact force on the ground due to their high descent height, causing the bulbs to break and the seeds inside to be damaged.

[0004] To address the existing problems, we propose a method for preparing aerial seeding pellets.

[0165] Preparation of hydrogels:

[0166] In spring, the bulbs prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-4 were sown at a height of 50 meters above seven adjacent plots of land measuring 20 meters by 20 meters each. The sowing time was the same for each plot. Each bulb contained five shrub seeds. Twenty bulbs prepared in each Example 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-4 were thrown into each plot. Water was then sprayed from above, just enough to moisten the ground surface. The survival rate of each plot was observed after 3 and 4 months.

[0167] Table 1 Data Results

[0168] Based on the 2-month survival rates in Table 1, the survival rates of Examples 1-3 were all above 90%. Compared with Example 3, the germination rate of Comparative Example 1 decreased by about 40%; compared with Example 3, the germination rate of Comparative Example 2 decreased by about 50%; compared with Example 3, the germination rate of Comparative Example 3 decreased by about 17%; compared with Comparative Example 2, the survival rate of Comparative Example 1 was about 20% lower; and compared with Example 3, the germination rate of Comparative Example 4 decreased by about 45%.

Similarly, the survival rates of Comparative Examples 1-3 at 3 months and 5 months were not significantly different. However, the survival rate of Comparative Example 4 differed significantly over two months; the survival rate of Comparative Example 4 at 3 months was approximately 23% lower than that at 2 months.
