Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of agricultural irrigation technology, in particular to a method for improving crop yield and quality by using micro-nano oxygenation technology. BACKGROUND
[0002] Traditional irrigation and modern water-saving irrigation technology mainly solve the problem of water supply, but often ignore the oxygen required by root respiration. The demand for oxygen by crop root respiration is often limited due to soil compaction, irrigation water oxygen deficiency or oxygen deficiency in the root distribution layer, resulting in poor root development, reduced nutrient absorption efficiency and weakened stress resistance, ultimately affecting yield and quality.
[0003] Traditional irrigation, especially flooding irrigation, can expel a large amount of air in the soil pores, causing the interstitial space between soil particles to be filled with water, forming a physical barrier. The presence of water greatly hinders the gas exchange between the soil atmosphere and the surface air, and the oxygen consumed by root respiration cannot be replenished in time. Surface irrigation methods such as flooding irrigation have very uneven water distribution, with huge evaporation and deep seepage losses, and the water use efficiency is usually very low. Fertilizers (especially nitrogen fertilizers) applied with irrigation water will be leached below the crop root layer due to water infiltration. The impact of large water flooding can damage the soil aggregate structure, and after the water evaporates, a hard and compacted layer can form on the soil surface, which not only affects the gas exchange of the next time, but also hinders seed germination and seedling growth. SUMMARY
[0004] The present application provides a method for improving crop yield and quality by using micro-nano oxygenation technology to solve the problem of blocked root zone soil gas exchange caused by traditional irrigation methods, leading to root oxygen deficiency, soil structure damage, and low water, fertilizer, and resource utilization efficiency.

[0011] 2. Promoting root system health and vitality Many beneficial microorganisms in the soil (such as microorganisms that decompose organic matter and transform nutrients) need oxygen. Oxygenation irrigation improves their living environment, accelerates the mineralization and circulation of soil nutrients, and makes more nutrients available for plant absorption and utilization.

These photosynthetic products are transported to the fruit, directly improving the sweetness, weight and dry matter content of the fruit.
[0013] 4. Improve antioxidant metabolism Many crop quality indicators (such as Vc, lycopene) are plant secondary metabolites. Adequate oxygen helps to improve the activity of related enzymes, promote the synthesis and accumulation of these antioxidants and beneficial ingredients.
[0014] 5. Reduce anaerobic harmful substances When the soil is oxygen-deficient, hydrogen sulfide, methane and other harmful substances will be produced, which are toxic to the roots. Oxygenation irrigation can effectively inhibit the production of these harmful substances, creating a cleaner growing environment for the roots. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
