Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of seed pelleting technology, and in particular to an alfalfa seed pelleting material and a method for preparing alfalfa seed pellets. Background Technology

[0002] Seed pelleting is a new seed treatment method designed to meet the needs of mechanized precision sowing. By coating seeds with a functional outer layer, seed morphology is improved, small seeds are enlarged, and light seeds are made heavier, thus achieving precise, uniform, and efficient mechanized sowing, improving sowing performance, and significantly reducing the sowing amount.

[0003] Currently, the application of seed pelleting has expanded from vegetables, tobacco, flowers, and forage grasses to field crops and cash crops such as corn and cotton. Numerous mature pelleting coating technologies have been developed and put into application. For example, CN1137615C discloses a corn seed pelleting processing technology, CN1049792C discloses a pelleting manufacturing method for small seeds, and CN100556291C discloses a pelleting formula and processing method for flower microparticle seeds. In recent years, pelleting technology has moved towards standardization, simplification, and intelligentization, significantly improving sowing precision, germination rate, and crop production efficiency, becoming an important component of the modern agricultural technology system.

[0004] Alfalfa seeds are small, have a low thousand-seed weight, and are irregularly shaped. Traditional direct sowing methods easily lead to uneven sowing depth, high seed consumption, and inconsistent seedling emergence, affecting the alfalfa seedling population structure, yield, and quality. This severely restricts modern precision sowing, yield improvement, and quality enhancement of alfalfa. Pelletizing alfalfa seeds can significantly improve seed germination rate and seedling uniformity under adverse conditions such as drought and salinity, and provide crucial protection for seedlings, effectively reducing the risk of missing seedlings and ensuring population density and health. This technology is a comprehensive and highly efficient support for overcoming the defects of the original seed, achieving precision sowing and cost reduction, ensuring efficient nitrogen fixation, improving stress resistance and seedling protection, and ultimately achieving the goal of high-quality, high-yield, and stable alfalfa production. It has significant practical implications for improving the efficiency of alfalfa cultivation and the overall industry level.

[0005] Specifically, direct seeding of alfalfa faces multiple challenges, resulting in slow early growth, weak and sparse seedlings, which significantly affect the success rate of establishment and early growth. The main reasons are: (1) Temperature constraints: Low temperatures in spring delay seed germination and emergence, and seedling growth is slow; if early frost occurs in autumn, the growing period is insufficient, making it difficult to safely overwinter. (2) Climate challenges: Drought and low rainfall in spring, with high evaporation, lead to insufficient soil moisture, affecting seed water absorption and germination and seedling root development; late frost damage can easily damage tender seedlings, and windy conditions in spring also exacerbate soil moisture loss. (3) Difficulty in rhizobium colonization: Low temperature, drought, and barren soil environment significantly inhibit rhizobium activity and colonization efficiency, resulting in weak nitrogen fixation capacity and insufficient nutrient supply in seedlings, manifested as stunted plants, yellowing, and stunted growth. These factors combine to severely limit the early establishment speed and robustness of alfalfa seedlings, which is an important limiting factor for high and stable alfalfa yield.

[0006] In the prior art, CN109005751A discloses a formulation and processing method for pelleting salt-tolerant alfalfa seeds, and CN109042656A discloses a formulation and preparation method for pelleting alfalfa seeds. These methods, through the use of binders, inert additives, dyes, ascorbic acid, and glutathione, respectively, improve the salt stress resistance of alfalfa seeds, enhance seed vigor, shorten the average germination time, and exhibit a certain germination-promoting effect. However, how to further improve the germination rate, uniformity, and nodule formation rate of alfalfa seeds remains a technical challenge that needs to be addressed. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides an alfalfa seed pelleting material, the raw materials of which include: filler, binder and functional additives; The functional additives include: sodium alginate, mineral-derived organic biostimulants, inorganic nutrients, chitosan oligosaccharides, compound microbial agents, and water-retaining agents; The compound microbial inoculant includes: arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and rhizobia; The inorganic nutrients include: ammonium polyphosphate, zinc sulfate monohydrate, and ammonium molybdate; The water-retaining agent is a polyacrylate-based water-retaining agent.

[0008] This invention, targeting alfalfa seeds, discovers that inorganic nutrients such as ammonium polyphosphate, zinc sulfate monohydrate, and ammonium molybdate are crucial for improving alfalfa seed germination rate, uniformity, and post-germination nodule formation rate. These nutrients are slowly released during the critical window of seed germination and seedling growth, providing immediate nutritional support for early root development and energy metabolism, laying the foundation for robust seedlings. Furthermore, when combined with sodium alginate and mineral-derived organic biostimulants as pelleting materials, sodium alginate and the mineral-derived organic biostimulants can promote the absorption of these inorganic nutrients by alfalfa seeds, significantly improving germination rate, uniformity, and post-germination nodule formation rate.

[0009] Furthermore, this invention reveals that a compound microbial inoculant composed of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and rhizobia can also colonize the seed pellets and rhizosphere. Through synergistic effects with the aforementioned inorganic nutrients, sodium alginate, and mineral-derived organic biostimulants, it further enhances the nodulation rate of alfalfa seeds after germination. Moreover, the compound microbial inoculant also aids in nutrient conversion, antagonizes soil-borne diseases, and improves the adaptability and overall stress resistance of alfalfa seeds and seedlings.

[0010] In addition, in the pelleting material system of the present invention, chitosan oligosaccharide can promote the function of the compound microbial agent, thereby further improving the nodulation rate of alfalfa seeds after germination. At the same time, chitosan oligosaccharide also helps to promote the absorption of the above-mentioned inorganic nutrients by alfalfa seeds and improve nutrient availability.

[0011] Furthermore, in the pelleting material system of this invention, the selection of polyacrylate water-retaining agents can significantly enhance the pelleting's ability to absorb and retain water under adverse conditions such as low temperature and drought, providing a stable and continuous water microenvironment for the early stage of seed germination, promoting further absorption of inorganic nutrients, and thus working synergistically with inorganic nutrients, sodium alginate, and mineral-derived organic biostimulants to improve the germination rate, uniformity, and nodulation rate of alfalfa seeds after germination.

One hundred alfalfa seed pellets were selected for each group and placed in a 11.5×11.5cm paper containing three layers of filter paper. 2 Four replicates were performed in covered petri dishes, with naked alfalfa seeds serving as the control group (CK). The petri dishes were placed in a light incubator and cultured at a constant temperature of 20℃ under 8 hours of light and 16 hours of darkness. Initial seed counts were recorded on day 4, and final counts on day 10. The number of normal seedlings, abnormal seedlings, fresh ungerminated seeds, hardened seeds, and dead seeds were counted. After germination on day 10, 10 normal seedlings were randomly selected from the petri dishes to measure their length and weigh them, and germination potential and germination rate were calculated.

Five sites were selected in both the inoculated and control areas, and 10 plants were dug up from each site for investigation. Plants with even one visible root nodule were considered to have nodulated nodules. The ratio of nodulated nodules to the investigated plants is the nodulation rate.
