Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of agricultural planting technology, specifically to a method for obtaining the optimal water, fertilizer, and air ratio in cucumber cultivation. Background Technology

[0002] Long-term improper irrigation and fertilization can lead to soil degradation and a sharp decline in cucumber yield and quality. Existing research indicates that the effectiveness of aerated drip irrigation in improving crop yield and quality is influenced by factors such as soil pH and texture, meaning that aerated drip irrigation may have limitations in terms of regional adaptability. Yunnan Province, located in southwest China, possesses abundant light and heat resources and a unique climate; its soil type is red soil, characterized by high clay content, becoming sticky when wet and hardening when dry, resulting in poor aeration and permeability, hindering root penetration and easily causing root rot. Given Yunnan's unique climate and soil conditions, there is an urgent need to explore irrigation, fertilization, and aeration models suitable for guiding greenhouse cucumber production in this region.

[0003] Cucumber roots are mainly distributed within the top 10 cm of soil. This shallow root system determines the cucumber's strong aerobic capacity and weak water absorption. In hot, dry regions with heavy, poorly aerated soils, irrigation can easily lead to uneven water distribution and imbalanced water absorption by the roots, thus affecting crop growth. Simultaneously, soil compaction after irrigation increases soil density and reduces porosity, easily causing hypoxia stress in the cucumber root zone. A good oxygen environment in the root zone can significantly improve root characteristic parameters, promote vigorous root metabolism, and increase the absorption, transport, and storage of water, nutrients, and other growth substances. Aerated drip irrigation, by adding aeration to the rhizosphere, can effectively improve the hypoxia condition in cucumber rhizospheres. However, aerated drip irrigation increases the cucumber's tolerance to water and fertilizer, enabling it to achieve higher yields at higher levels. Therefore, the optimal water and fertilizer thresholds explored under non-aerated conditions are not applicable under aerated drip irrigation conditions, necessitating further in-depth research into the optimal irrigation and fertilization rates for high cucumber yields under aerated irrigation. In addition, in arid and hot regions with abundant light and heat resources, multiple crops of cucumbers can be grown in a year. Continuous planting of cucumbers will lead to the continuous deterioration of the soil environment in the root zone, which in turn will cause problems such as poor cucumber development, reduced yield and decreased quality.

[0004] To address the above issues, this study conducted experiments on different water, fertilizer, and air coupling methods for cucumbers under underground aerobic drip irrigation conditions in hot and arid regions. A comprehensive evaluation system considering soil quality improvement and high cucumber yield was constructed, and an optimal water, fertilizer, and air ratio model for cucumbers in hot and arid regions under multi-objective control was proposed.

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0031] Example 1 like Figure 1 The method shown here for obtaining the optimal water, fertilizer, and air ratio in cucumber cultivation specifically includes: A cucumber planting experiment was conducted based on various water, fertilizer and air ratios. The purpose of this experiment was to obtain the soil environmental indicators and cucumber yield indicators corresponding to each water, fertilizer and air ratio. After the experiment, the soil environmental indicators and cucumber yield indicators corresponding to each ratio of water, fertilizer and air were obtained. These soil environmental indicators and cucumber yield indicators are the data sources for the subsequent entropy weight method-TOPSIS evaluation model. The method uses n different ratios of water, fertilizer, and air as rows and m parameter indicators as columns to construct a two-dimensional original data matrix: The data in this matrix are all soil environmental indicators and cucumber yield indicators; For the original data matrix Normalization is performed to obtain the standardized matrix. The purpose is to standardize the units of each parameter to facilitate subsequent calculations. The specific calculation formula is as follows: Positive indicators:

[0032] Negative indicators:

[0033] In the formula, The standardized index value, Let j be the value of the parameter index under the i-th ratio treatment; It is the minimum value among the parameter index values ​​in the j-th column; The maximum value among the parameter values ​​in column j; The final normalized value is obtained by concatenating the positive and negative indicators.

[0034] The entropy weight method is used to determine the weights of each parameter in the standardized matrix. This is used to analyze the importance of each parameter. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0035] In the formula, It represents the proportion of the j-th parameter index under the i-th ratio treatment; It is the information entropy of the j-th indicator; Let be the weight of the j-th indicator; By combining the data points in the standardized matrix with their weights, a weighted matrix is ​​generated, and positive and negative ideal solutions are determined. The purpose is to establish an objective and unified evaluation benchmark and reference system. The positive ideal solution represents the optimal parameter index in each proportion treatment, while the negative ideal solution represents the worst parameter index in each proportion treatment. These two clear and extreme reference points are like the "full marks" and "0" marks on a ruler, and all parameter indices lie between these two reference points. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0036]

[0037]

[0038]

[0039]

[0040] In the formula, The index value is the weighted and standardized value. The ideal solution; It is a negative ideal solution; By calculating the Euclidean distance between each parameter index in the standardized matrix and the positive and negative ideal points, the parameter index for each matching treatment can be transformed into a relative and comparable "score," that is, the distance between a certain parameter index and the positive and negative ideal points. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0041]

[0042] In the formula, The distance to the ideal solution is calculated for the i-th ratio. The distance to the negative ideal solution is calculated for the i-th ratio. The final relative closeness is calculated based on two Euclidean distances. This relative closeness is then used to evaluate the "score." The water-fertilizer-air ratio corresponding to the data with the highest relative closeness is selected. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0043] In the formula, The relative closeness of the i-th ratio is denoted by .

[0044] The design idea of ​​this method is to construct positive and negative ideal points, calculate the comprehensive distance between each parameter index and the two ideal points, and finally scientifically, reasonably, and fairly select the optimal solution that performs best and is most balanced overall from all alternative solutions.

[0045] In summary, this method first measures soil environmental indicators and cucumber yield indicators, and then uses the entropy weight method to analyze the impact of different irrigation and nitrogen application synergistic regulation on the root zone soil micro-ecological environment and cucumber yield under aerated drip irrigation. A comprehensive evaluation model for high-quality and high-yield greenhouse cucumbers is constructed, and the optimal water, fertilizer and air supply strategy suitable for high-quality and high-yield greenhouse cucumbers in southwestern my country is proposed, providing a theoretical basis and technical ideas for high-yield greenhouse cucumber cultivation and sustainable soil utilization.

[0046] Example 2 As one embodiment, the cucumber planting experiment based on various water-fertilizer-air ratio treatments includes the following specific steps: S1. Select the target greenhouse, randomly select points to measure the initial soil physicochemical properties and nutrient status, then divide the plots and ridge them. The purpose of first randomly selecting points to measure the initial soil physicochemical properties and nutrient status is to provide a basis for judgment of subsequent experimental data, and also to allow the operator to give different water, fertilizer and air coupling ratio treatment data more reasonably in S2 based on the current soil physicochemical properties and nutrient status. S2. Cucumbers are planted in different plots, and different water, fertilizer and air coupling ratios are applied to different plots during the cucumber growth period. S3. During the flowering, fruit-setting, peak fruiting, and late fruiting stages of cucumber plants, harvesting should be carried out according to the standard of cucumber length and diameter in the market, and cucumber yield indicators should be measured. S4. After the cucumber growing season ends, soil samples from each plot are collected in layers and soil environmental indicators are measured.

[0047] In addition, the soil environmental indicators include soil bulk density, field water holding capacity, porosity, soil pH, electrical conductivity, nitrate nitrogen content, ammonium nitrogen content, urease activity, sucrase activity, phosphatase activity, and catalase activity.

[0052] Yield and its components determination: At the end of the seedling stage, five representative plants were randomly selected from each plot and marked. The mature cucumber fruits of the marked plants were weighed, and the length and diameter of the cucumbers were measured using a tape measure and digital vernier calipers until the end of the fruiting stage. The yield per hectare was calculated based on the total weight of the fruits per plant and the area occupied by the plant.

[0053] Soil moisture and nutrient determination: Before the experiment, soil physical properties such as bulk density and field water holding capacity of the 0-40 cm soil layer were measured using a ring sampler at random sampling points.

After air-drying, the samples were passed through a 16-mesh sieve (1 mm aperture). Soil urease was measured using the sodium phenolate-sodium hypochlorite colorimetric method.

[0062] The highest treatment for residual nitrate nitrogen in soil is The highest treatment for residual ammonium nitrogen in soil was Soil nutrients in the high-nitrogen treatment were significantly higher than those in the low-nitrogen treatment, while soil nutrients in the aerated treatment were significantly lower than those in the non-aerated treatment. Soil nutrients decreased significantly with increasing irrigation volume.

[0063] The effects of different water-fertilizer-air coupling ratios on soil rhizosphere enzyme activity are shown in Table 5. Figure 8 As shown: Table 5 Effects of different water-fertilizer-air coupling ratios on soil rhizosphere enzyme activity

[0070] Among them, electrical conductivity, soil nitrate nitrogen, and ammonium nitrogen residue are negative indicators, while the rest are positive indicators. This can be derived from the entropy weight method-TOPSIS comprehensive evaluation model. The optimal water, fertilizer, and air ratio for cucumbers is achieved by using aerated drip irrigation, with a minimum irrigation capacity of 75-80% of field capacity, and applying 300 kg / ha of nitrogen fertilizer as the best field management practice for greenhouse cucumbers.

[0071] The above analysis shows that coupled water, fertilizer, and air management can effectively improve soil physical properties and nutrient status, enhance soil enzyme activity, and increase cucumber yield, bringing significant economic benefits to farmers. However, the effects vary depending on the ratio of water, fertilizer, and air. Based on the results of this study, the combination of aerated drip irrigation with 75-80% field capacity as the lower limit, and 300 kg / ha of nitrogen fertilizer, compared to other treatment ratios, effectively alleviated soil acidification, increased soil enzyme activity, and improved greenhouse cucumber yield and value. This can be considered a technical measure for improving cucumber soil quality and efficiency.
