Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of soilless culture of plants, and more particularly to a method for planting high-zinc barley grass by water culture. BACKGROUND

[0002] Currently, the problem of insufficient zinc intake exists widely around the world, and exploring an efficient way to supplement zinc has become an important issue to be solved. As an innovative means, biofortification technology can enrich trace nutrients or improve their bioavailability during the growth and development of organisms, thereby enhancing the nutritional value of organisms. With the help of this technology, inorganic zinc can be converted into organic zinc or biological zinc that is more easily absorbed by the human body. The zinc-enriched food cultivated in this way not only has high stability and strong safety, but also has the advantages of low price and outstanding zinc nutritional value. At present, the types of zinc-enriched products by biofortification are relatively rich, covering fungi (such as edible fungi and yeast), plants (such as fruits and vegetables, grains, tea leaves, sprouts, etc.). However, the supply of high-zinc meat and high-zinc dairy products is relatively short on the market. Under this background, the cultivation of high-zinc barley grass for feeding livestock and poultry, and the production of high-zinc livestock products show broad prospects for development. Water-cultured barley grass, as an innovative mode in the field of barley grass cultivation, can realize stable and efficient supply of fresh barley grass throughout the year with the help of advanced water culture technology. High-zinc barley grass has become a focus of attention and research in the industry due to its outstanding nutritional value.

The tray turnover machine 2 turns over the seedling tray 8 to the reverse side. The control system controls the conveying line 3 to start. The seedling tray 8 is conveyed by the conveying line 3 to the cleaning machine 1 for cleaning treatment. The control of the conveying belt in the cleaning machine 1 only needs to be reciprocated, and a sensor 32 does not need to be installed. When the conveying belt of the cleaning machine 1 is positively rotated to the end position, the cleaning process is completed. The retreat to the outlet is the drying process after cleaning. The positive rotation control can be controlled by the back-and-forth movement time of the control motor. Each time the machine is started, only the control of the original point, the number of positive rotation circles, the pause time, and the number of reverse rotation circles needs to be determined, and then the control is transmitted to the tray turnover position of the tray turnover machine 2.

There are three Hall sensors A28: two at the bottom and one at the top. The two at the bottom correspond to the reference surface of the mounting base 21 and are arranged on both sides of the bracket A22 to respond to the start and stop positions of the flip arm.

[0117] like Figure 10 , 11 As shown in Figures 12 and 13, the flipping plate 421 and the flipping arm 424 are two symmetrically arranged at both ends of the main shaft 423. The distance between the two flipping arms 424 is adapted to the width of the seedling tray 8 to maintain a stable balance during the flipping process of the seedling tray 8.

[0119] As shown in Figure 17 , the vertical column of the planting frame 7 is bored with an adjusting hole 101, and the layer bench 710 is detachably connected to the vertical column through the adjusting hole 101. The detachable connection is realized by screwing, and the adjusting hole 101 is a bolt hole and is equidistantly arranged on the vertical column; the layer plate of the layer bench 710 is fixed on the two vertical columns by bolts to form a single-layer planting layer; the height of the layer plate is controlled by adjusting the position of the fixed bolt.

[0120] As shown in Figure 14-22 , the telescopic cylinder is controlled to reciprocate by the control system, and drives the transmission push rod 733 to move up and down. The transmission push rod 733 is clamped in the swing crank 72 of each layer by a welded pipe at the position of each layer platform, and the swing crank 72 drives the spraying swing pipe 75 to swing the water conveying pipe 751 to make small amplitude swing movement. Through this structure design, the up and down linear motion is converted into the rotation motion of the water conveying pipe 751, and the rotation motion drives the spraying vertical plate 753 at the bottom of the water conveying pipe 751 to reciprocate, so as to realize complete spraying of the barley grass in the seedling tray 8. After spraying, the excess spraying water flows into the composite lower water beam 76 through the water outlet at the bottom of the seedling tray 8, as shown in Figure 17 , a rectangular drainage groove 784 with a depth of 5m is cut on the bottom beam of the seedling tray 8, and a drainage hole is arranged at the bottom of the beam to weld a drainage elbow to drain the excess water.

The water return pipe 781 is connected to a filter, and the filtered water is returned to the water tank by a water pump for secondary use, so as to improve the utilization rate of waste water and reduce the planting cost.

[0121] The light supplement lamp 74 on the planting frame 7 is adjusted adaptively according to the light intensity required by the barley plants at different stages.

[0122] Finally, after the growth of the barley plants is completed, the CTU trolley 6 is automatically moved to the seedling tray 8 to perform the feeding and discharging operation and is transported to a designated area. The CTU trolley 6 is equipped with a visual acquisition device to monitor the growth data of the barley and to transmit the data to the control system control panel.

[0123] The water culture high-zinc barley planting method of the embodiment can simultaneously and uniformly supplement water to the barley in the entire layer frame 710 through the cooperation of the triangular plate-shaped spray vertical plate 753 and the swing assembly, the swing crank 72, the telescopic electric cylinder and the transmission push rod 733, thereby meeting the requirement for uniformity of the growth factors such as environment (light, water, etc.), space, etc. of the barley in the entire layer frame 710 during the planting process, so as to maintain the stability of the planting quality and the batch balance consistency of the barley products. The participation of human labor in the plant production process is reduced, and the full-automatic light supplement, water supplement, drainage, feeding and discharging, transportation and growth data detection, etc. operations in the entire growth process from the seed to the barley finished product are realized.

[0124] The water culture barley production method of the embodiment has the following steps:

[0125] Work flow: The CTU trolley 6 is responsible for transporting the seedling tray 8 and transferring the seedling tray 8 to the planting frame 7 and transporting the seedling tray 8 to the load plate 33 of the double-row chain conveying line 3. The load plate 33 is driven by the double-row chain conveying line 3 to enter the turnover discharging device 4. The turnover discharging device 4 works, the turnover arm rotates to the tray turnover position, clamps the seedling tray 8 and turns over the barley into the grass receiving vehicle. After completion, the empty tray is reset to the load plate 33 of the double-row chain conveying line 3. The load plate 33 of the double-row chain conveying line 3 continues to drive the empty tray to move directly to the position of the empty tray turnover machine 2. The empty tray turnover machine 2 turns over the empty tray and then the empty tray enters the cleaning machine 1 after being conveyed by the conveying line 3.

[0126] After the empty tray enters the cleaning machine 1, it is first high-pressure washed and then recycled washed. After reaching the end, it moves back to be high-pressure washed again and dried by the air knife. Then it enters the feeding position to be turned over by the empty tray turnover machine 2 to the load plate 33 of the double-row chain conveying line 3. The load plate 33 of the double-row chain conveying line 3 drives the clean empty tray to below the germination tank 9. The germination tank 9 performs the germination and discharging operation. A flat laying unit 91 is arranged below the germination tank 9. The seed is laid through the flat laying unit 91 into the seedling tray 8. The load plate 33 continues to drive the seed-laid seedling tray 8 to move to the end. The CTU trolley 6 grabs the seedling tray 8 to the CTU trolley 6. The CTU trolley 6 moves to the position where the seedling tray 8 needs to be placed on the planting frame 7 and performs the operation to place the seedling tray 8 on the planting position of the planting frame 7.

[0127] In the above steps, the four station sensing points of the sensor 32 correspond to the tray turning machine 2, the germination tank 9, the tray turning and discharging device 4, and the discharging side of the conveying line 3, respectively. After the control system receives the corresponding sensor 32 station sensing point signals, the start and stop of the conveying line 3 and the tray laying conveying belt 913 are controlled, respectively. The carrier plate 33 on the conveying line 3 carries the seedling tray 8 to the corresponding sensing points, respectively. When the sensing points of the tray turning machine 2, the tray turning and discharging device 4, and the discharging side of the conveying line 3 are reached, the control system controls the conveying line 3 to stop and start, respectively, before and after the tray turning machine 2, the tray turning and discharging device 4, and the CTU trolley 6 complete the work. When the sensing point of the germination tank 9 is reached, the control system controls the tray laying conveying belt 913 to start and stop, respectively, before and after the discharging of the germination tank 9 is completed.

[0128] The CTU trolley 6 transports the seedling tray 8 along the predetermined track under the action of the control system. The predetermined track is planned in advance in the control system. The clamping part of the CTU trolley 6 is used to grab the seedling tray 8 from the planting rack 7 or the conveying line 3 onto the CTU trolley 6 or deliver the seedling tray 8 on the CTU trolley 6 to the planting rack 7 or the conveying line 3.

[0129] The water culture high-zinc barley planting method of the embodiment can set multiple side-by-side planting racks 7 as needed. The multi-layer structure of each planting rack 7 realizes spatial modal low-area dense planting of barley. The conveying line 3, the cleaning machine 1, the tray turning machine 2, the germination tank 9, the CTU trolley 6, the planting rack 7, and the tray turning and discharging device 4 cooperate with each other and have high automation. The water culture high-zinc barley planting method can realize full-automatic planting and production of water culture barley, even without manual production, has high production efficiency, and reduces production and planting costs by more than 60% through calculation.

[0130] In the wet immersion-dry immersion treatment step in the germination tank 9 of the water culture high-zinc barley planting method of the embodiment,

[0131] In the wet immersion process, the effective chlorine content is made to reach 200-350 mg / L by putting chlorine-containing effervescent tablets into water, and the seeds are soaked for 4-6 h. In this way, the seeds are fully watered, and at the same time, surface disinfection is performed to kill or inhibit mold activity. Different depths are adapted to different soaking times, and the adaptation relationship is as follows: the effective chlorine content is 200 mg / L, and the soaking time is 6 h; the effective chlorine content is 300 mg / L, and the soaking time is 4.5 h; the effective chlorine content is 350 mg / L, and the soaking time is 4 h. Considering production efficiency and cost, the effective chlorine content of 300 mg / L and the soaking time of 4.5 h are preferred.

[0132] The water supplementing amount in the wet immersion process completely covers the seeds in the tank, and the water supplementing amount is positively correlated with the air pressure of the air blower of the aeration pipe 96. The water supplementing amount reaches the position of the overflow port of the overflow pipe 98 in the initial water supplementing process, and the water surface is continuously supplemented with water, and the chaff and other sundries on the water surface are discharged through the overflow port. The water supplementing in the wet immersion process is realized through the spray head 953 of the spray ring pipe 951 at the top of the germination tank, the metal hose nozzle is installed on the spray head 953, the water spraying direction of the metal hose nozzle is manually adjusted to form a unidirectional circular flow on the water surface, and the chaff and other sundries on the water surface flow in a unidirectional clockwise or counterclockwise direction, so that the chaff and other sundries are more easily discharged from the overflow port of the germination tank. Meanwhile, three metal hose nozzles are directly aimed at the tank wall to realize the automatic cleaning function of the tank wall of the germination tank 9 after the single-day germination and immersion of the germination tank 9 is completed.

[0133] The dry immersion process is that, after the immersion water in the wet immersion process is completely discharged, the top is sprayed every 1.0-1.5h for 30-60s by the spraying assembly, and the spraying is continued for 6-10h. Different spraying frequencies are adapted to different spraying time and duration, and the adaptation relationship is as follows:

[0134] 1.0h / time, spraying for 30s, and continuing for 6h; 1.25h / time, spraying for 45s, and continuing for 10h; 1.5h / time, spraying for 60s, and continuing for 9h; considering the production efficiency and cost, 1.25h / time, spraying for 45s, and continuing for 10h are preferred.

[0135] In order to detect and prove the relationship between the spraying concentration of ZnSO4·7H2O solution and the final mature barley grass weight and zinc content, in the dry immersion process, the spraying solution in different batches of germination tanks 9 is selected as follows: water, ZnSO4·7H2O solution with a concentration of 150mg / L, ZnSO4·7H2O solution with a concentration of 200mg / L, ZnSO4·7H2O solution with a concentration of 250mg / L, and ZnSO4·7H2O solution with a concentration of 300mg / L, all of which are sprayed every 1.25h for 45s by the spraying assembly, and the spraying is continued for 10h. After the immersion and germination in the germination tank 9 are completed, the materials are discharged, and then two plates are sampled and numbered respectively after being discharged to the seedling trays.

[0137] Number Treatment Number of plates 1 Control (CK), spraying with water only 2 2 Spray dry after wetting with 150 mg / L of ZnSO4.7H2O 2 3 Spray dry after wetting with 200 mg / L of ZnSO4.7H2O 2 4 Spray dry after wetting with 250 mg / L of ZnSO4.7H2O 2 5 Spray dry after wetting with 300 mg / L of ZnSO4.7H2O 2

[0138] Different from the conventional water culture of barley grass, the dry immersion process reduces the seed soaking time, is suitable for four-season production operation, and avoids the seed anaerobic respiration and fermentation reaction. When the water absorption rate of the barley grass is greater than or equal to 40%, the barley embryo starts to germinate;

[0139] During the dry soaking process, the aeration pipe 96 provides high-pressure aeration for the barley grass soaking and germination, increasing the contact area between the seeds and oxygen, and providing sufficient aeration and cooling.

[0140] During the wet soaking process, water is added to the germination tank 9 2-3 ​​times, and floating impurities are discharged through the overflow pipe to reduce the source of pollution;

[0141] During the dry soaking process, the air inside the tank is circulated through the exhaust pipe 97 to remove the heat and carbon dioxide generated by the seed's respiration.

[0142] In the supplemental lighting and watering steps of planting rack 7:

[0143] Supplemental lighting: using supplemental lighting lamps;

[0144] Hydration: Hydration is achieved through spraying.

[0145] The blue light supplemental light uses blue and white LEDs with a spectral ratio of R:B:G = 3:3:4 to provide blue light for barley grass cultivation in seedling trays. Compared to conventional supplemental lights, the increased blue light ratio promotes early plant morphology development, benefits root development, and helps hydroponically grown barley grass form a stable "root mat," ensuring a clear distinction between the seed layer and root layer, resulting in clean white roots and significantly increasing product qualification rate.

[0146] A red light supplemental light, consisting of red and white LEDs, with a spectral ratio of R:B:G = 4.5:1.5:4, is used to cultivate barley grass in seedling tray 8 under red light. Increasing the proportion of red light improves the photosynthetic efficiency of hydroponically grown barley grass.

[0147] Red light (R) (600-700nm) can promote photosynthesis, blue light (B) (400-500nm) can regulate plant morphogenesis, and green light (G) (500-600nm) can assist photosynthesis or regulate stomata.

[0148] Blue light cultivation lasts for 2 days, with 4-6 hours of supplemental light per day, and the duration is adjusted according to the growth. At the end of blue light cultivation, the coleoptiles or cotyledons of the hydroponic barley grass seeds have clearly emerged and are able to perform photosynthesis.

[0149] The red light cultivation lasts for 5 days, divided into two stages. Red light I cultivation lasts for 3 and 4 days, with 6-8 hours of supplemental light per day, and the duration is adjusted according to the growth. Red light II cultivation lasts for 5, 6 and 7 days, with 8-10 hours of supplemental light per day, and the duration is adjusted according to the growth. This light duration setting is based on the growth stage of hydroponic barley grass and to promote zinc absorption.

[0150] The water supplementing is performed by the spraying oscillating water pipe 75, the oscillating frequency is 5-8 times per minute, the oscillating frequency is adjusted according to the height of the wheat seedlings, and the oscillating frequency is inversely proportional to the height of the wheat seedlings, the oscillating spraying is comprehensive and uniform;

[0151] The spraying oscillating water pipe 75 preferably performs the fan oscillating water supplementing through the bottom spraying vertical plate 753, and the water supplementing also plays the role of intermittent light supplementing, assists the photosynthesis, adjusts the opening and closing of the stomata of the barley grass cells, and promotes the stable absorption rate and conversion rate of the zinc element in the solution.

[0152] The environment temperature of the planting frame 7 is set to 20-25 DEG C, can be adjusted according to the actual conditions, and ventilation is ensured.

[0153] Step nine, in the fresh grass sampling inspection, when the barley seedlings grow to 7 days, the barley seedlings are cut, the numbered seedling trays are taken down, weighed, and sent for inspection. The test results are as follows:

[0154] A, fresh grass weight detection:

[0155] Table 2. Weight record table (kg), tray weight 2.4 kg

[0156] Number 1 2 3 4 5 Plate 1 7.78 7.66 6.95 7.29 7.38 After subtracting the weight of the plate 5.38 5.26 4.55 4.89 4.98 Plate 2 7.69 7.69 7.15 7.37 7.37 After subtracting the weight of the plate 5.29 5.29 4.75 4.97 4.97 Average 7.735 7.675 7.05 7.33 7.375 After subtracting the weight of the plate 5.335 5.275 4.65 4.93 4.975

[0157] In table 2, the measured weight is the weight of the seedling tray, so the weight of the grass should be reduced by the weight of the grass tray (2.4 kg).

[0158] Combined with table 2 and Figure 26 It is shown that the addition of zinc during seed soaking has a certain influence on the weight of the barley grass, and the weight is reduced by 1.1%, 12.8%, 7.6%, and 6.7% under different concentrations. Among them, the 200mg / L zinc solution has a greater negative impact on the weight of the barley grass.

[0159] B, fresh grass zinc content detection:

[0160] The five samples selected for inspection include 0, 150mg / L, 200mg / L, 250mg / L, and 300ml / L. After the samples are sent for inspection, the results are as follows:

[0161] Table 3. Zinc content of barley grass

[0162]

[0163] Combined with table 3 and Figure 27As shown, the percentage of organic zinc is on the rise, and 300 mg / L may not be the highest point. Compared with the CK group and 150 mg / L, the organic zinc content and proportion of the other concentrations of 200 mg / L, 250 mg / L, and 300 mg / L of zinc solution soaking are greatly increased: the organic zinc content is increased by 6.69 mg / kg, 9.96 mg / kg, and 15.05 mg / kg, respectively, compared with the CK group; and the proportion of organic zinc is increased by 7.6%, 13.2%, and 17.9%, respectively, compared with the CK group. At present, the effect of 300 mg / L of zinc solution soaking is good, and an unexpected technical effect of increasing the organic zinc content by 17.9% is achieved.

[0164] According to Tables 1-3 and Figure 26 、 27 , combined with the weight reduction rate of barley grass and the increase rate of organic zinc at different concentrations, as well as the addition cost of ZnSO4·7H2O and the residual rate of wastewater, the addition depth of ZnSO4·7H2O is preferably 200 mg / L-300 mg / L, and more preferably 300 mg / L, which can ensure the growth of barley grass while achieving efficient accumulation of organic zinc.

[0165] The water culture high-zinc barley grass planting production line and planting method of the present embodiment have been verified by production, with a production cycle of every 7 days, a yield guarantee mechanism, and a yield interval of 2.48-3.92 tons / 7 days for a 15-meter planting rack and 2.87-4.92 tons / 7 days for an 18-meter planting rack. It can be effectively applied to areas with tight land resources and insufficient barley grass supply, as well as livestock enterprises and large-scale barley grass planting bases that focus on the research and production of high-zinc livestock products, without relying on a large amount of arable land, adapting to different regional and scale production needs, and improving the flexibility of technical application. Relying on the standardized production process of multi-layer planting rack water culture technology, a large amount of stable output of barley grass rich in organic zinc is achieved, solving the problems of low yield and unstable organic zinc content of barley grass caused by environmental (soil, climate) fluctuations in traditional planting modes, and ensuring the continuity and reliability of the supply of raw materials for downstream high-zinc livestock products. By precisely controlling the concentration and application method of high-zinc solution, and taking advantage of the biological conversion capacity of barley grass, inorganic zinc is efficiently converted into organic zinc, greatly improving the utilization rate of zinc elements (compared with traditional direct addition of inorganic zinc, avoiding the defects of low absorption efficiency and serious waste), while reducing the cost of manual intervention and the overall production investment. It provides high-quality and stable organic zinc barley grass raw materials for the production of high-zinc livestock products (such as high-zinc meat and high-zinc milk), helps the transformation of the livestock industry from traditional extensive breeding to a fine industrial chain with high added value and high quality, meets the needs of consumers for food safety and nutritional health, improves the market competitiveness of livestock products, and promotes the coordinated development of barley grass and livestock industries.

Therefore, if a person of ordinary skill in the art is inspired by the above, without departing from the spirit of the present application, similar structural modes and embodiments are not created by creative design, and all should belong to the protection scope of the present application.
