DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The present application will be described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise stated, the singular forms "a", "said" and "the" used in the present application are intended to include the plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. In addition, unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as understood by those skilled in the art. The terms used in the specification herein are only used to describe specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0022] The typical herbaceous plant soil mixing and sowing method provided by the present application is characterized by comprising the following steps: 1、According to the process requirements, select qualified white clover, ryegrass, alfalfa and hairy vetch seeds; select four kinds of seeds with full particles and no pests and diseases respectively; 2. Seed pretreatment: soak the seeds according to their characteristics: white clover and alfalfa seeds are soaked in warm water (30-40°C) for 2-4 hours because their seed coat is relatively hard; ryegrass and vetch seeds are soaked in cold water for 1-2 hours because their seed coat is thin, which can improve the germination rate and emergence rate of the seeds. After soaking, the seeds are taken out and drained to prevent mold growth.

[0023] 3. Seed and soil mixing: mix the four types of seeds with soil according to the required ratio, and mix well to obtain seed-soil mixtures for use; the mixing ratio is usually 20g of seeds mixed in 3-10kg of soil; mixing is to avoid clumping during sowing. The specific mixing ratio can be 20g of seeds mixed in 3kg, 3.5kg, 4kg, 4.5kg, 5kg, 5.5kg, 6kg, 6.5kg, 7kg, 7.5kg, 8kg, 8.5kg, 9kg, 9.5kg, or 10kg of soil. 4. Sowing: evenly spread the seed-soil mixture on the target plot, which can ensure seed-soil contact and avoid being eaten by pests; gently press the seed-soil mixture into the soil, or cover the seed-soil mixture with a thin layer of soil to enhance the combination of seeds with the target plot such as farmland.

[0024] The four types of seed-soil mixtures are sown separately, i.e., the four types of seed-soil mixtures are sown along the length of the farmland ridge, and each is sown within the length distance required by the process, which is usually 0.5m-10m, and the width is usually the width of the farmland ridge; thus, each type of plant grows to a length of 0.5m-10m along the length of the farmland ridge, determined according to specific planting requirements, and the sowing length of adjacent plants of the four types of seeds can differ.

[0025] 5. Post-sowing management: manage according to the process requirements, such as reasonable fertilization and watering; water the seeds after germination and continue until the seedlings grow to a stage where they can withstand changes in the external environment. After the four types of plants grow, they form green cost plants with lengths of 0.5m-10m along the length of the farmland ridge.

[0026] Example 1 Taking the production example in Chongqing Shizhu Tujia Autonomous County as an example: The test site is located in Yuchi Town, Chongqing Shizhu Tujia Autonomous County. According to local farming practices, herbicides are sprayed on the terrace ridge before rice planting to control weeds, so the herbaceous vegetation seeds are sown after the local farmers have sprayed herbicides (May 2024).

[0027] The test herbaceous plant varieties were white clover, ryegrass, alfalfa and hairy vetch.

[0028] There were significant differences in the physical and chemical properties of the soil in the different herb types.

[0029] In terms of soil sand content, the sand content of the hairy vetch ridge was the highest, and the sand content of the alfalfa ridge was the lowest. Compared with CK, the sand contents of the ryegrass and alfalfa ridges were significantly reduced by 18.1% and 17.6%, respectively.

[0030] In terms of soil bulk density, the soil bulk density of CK was the highest, and the soil bulk density of the white clover ridge was the lowest, showing the best improvement effect.

[0031] In terms of soil water-holding capacity, the capillary porosity and field water capacity of CK were the lowest, and the growth of different vegetation types improved the soil water-holding capacity. Compared with CK, the capillary porosity of the white clover, ryegrass, alfalfa and hairy vetch ridges was increased by 2.4%, 1.6%, 1.1% and 1.6%, respectively. The one-way ANOVA results showed that the soil porosity of the white clover and ryegrass ridges was significantly higher than that of CK. Compared with CK, the field water capacity of the white clover, ryegrass, alfalfa and hairy vetch ridges was increased by 3.1%, 4.5%, 3.2% and 5.6%, respectively. The one-way ANOVA results showed that the field water capacity of the hairy vetch ridge was significantly higher than that of CK.

[0032] In terms of soil organic matter content, the organic matter content of the hairy vetch ridge was the highest, and the organic matter content of CK was the lowest. Compared with CK, the organic matter content of the white clover, ryegrass, alfalfa and hairy vetch ridges was increased by 9.7%, 12.7%, 42.0% and 46.4%, respectively. The one-way ANOVA results showed that the organic matter content of the alfalfa and hairy vetch ridges was significantly higher than that of CK.

[0033] Compared with the control group with no seeding, the growth of vegetation could significantly improve the physical and chemical properties of the soil, indicating that root growth was crucial for soil structure stability and erosion resistance. Among different herb types, the effects of the legume plants white clover and hairy vetch were particularly significant.

[0034] The soil erosion resistance indicators of the ridges with different herb types showed obvious dynamic change rules during the growing season, but there were differences between different indicators.

[0035] Herbaceous vegetation generally significantly reduced the soil penetration resistance and disintegration rate, while significantly improved the soil cohesion, saturated hydraulic conductivity, average weight diameter of soil aggregates and soil structure stability index.

[0036] In terms of soil penetration resistance, the soil penetration resistance of the control (CK) was the largest, and the soil penetration resistance of the Trifolium repens L. edge was the smallest. Compared with the CK, the soil penetration resistance of the Trifolium repens L., the Lolium multiflorum, the Medicago sativa L. and the Trifolium repens L. was reduced by 17.2%, 3.8%, 9.3% and 17.2% respectively. The Trifolium repens L. and the Trifolium repens L. could effectively improve the water permeability and the loose degree of the soil.

[0037] In terms of soil cohesion, the soil cohesion of the Trifolium repens L. was the largest, and the soil cohesion of the CK was the smallest. Compared with the CK, the coverage of the Trifolium repens L., the Lolium multiflorum, the Medicago sativa L. and the Trifolium repens L. was increased by 10.1%, 1.1%, 4.3% and 16.8% respectively.

[0038] In terms of soil disintegration rate, the soil disintegration rate of the control (CK) was the largest, and the soil disintegration rate of the Medicago sativa L. edge was the smallest. Compared with the CK, the soil disintegration rate of the Trifolium repens L., the Lolium multiflorum, the Medicago sativa L. and the Trifolium repens L. was reduced by 37.5%, 38.1%, 40.5% and 30.8% respectively.

[0039] In terms of soil saturated hydraulic conductivity, the saturated hydraulic conductivity of the four types of herb edge was significantly higher than that of the control (CK) (p<0.05). Compared with the CK, the soil disintegration rate of the Trifolium repens L., the Lolium multiflorum, the Medicago sativa L. and the Trifolium repens L. was increased by 56.4%, 55.3%, 67.5% and 78.3% respectively. The gradient sequence between the herb edges was: Trifolium repens L. > Medicago sativa L. > Trifolium repens L. > Lolium multiflorum.

[0040] In terms of soil erodible K factor, the soil erodible K factor of the Trifolium repens L. edge was the smallest, which was reduced by 4.2% compared with the CK. The soil erodible K factor of the Lolium multiflorum edge was the largest.

[0041] In terms of soil structure stability index, the soil structure stability index of the Trifolium repens L. was the largest, and the soil structure stability index of the CK was the smallest. Compared with the CK, the soil disintegration rate of the Trifolium repens L., the Lolium multiflorum, the Medicago sativa L. and the Trifolium repens L. was increased by 10.1%, 12.7%, 41.1% and 47.0% respectively.

[0042] The test group implementing the biological ridge technology had obvious effect on improving the stability of the edge.
