Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of agricultural cultivation nutrient soil technology, and in particular to a nutrient soil for peanut potted plants and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] With the gradual development of home gardening, balcony planting, and small-scale facility cultivation, potted cultivation has gradually become an important form of agricultural production and horticultural application due to its high space utilization, flexible management, and wide applicability. Peanuts, as a legume crop with high economic and nutritional value, have certain application needs in potted cultivation for science education, family experiential planting, and functional cultivation. However, due to the biological characteristic of peanuts to form pods underground, they place high demands on the physical structure, aeration conditions, and nutrient supply methods of the cultivation substrate. Existing potting soil still has many shortcomings in practical applications.
[0003] Currently, most common potted plant cultivation substrates are primarily composed of various organic-derived substrate materials, supplemented with a certain proportion of lightweight inorganic porous materials to improve the substrate's aeration and water retention. These substrates are widely used in potted cultivation of ornamental plants and leafy vegetables; however, their overall structure is often a simple mixture, lacking a rationally designed internal particle distribution. Under conditions of long-term watering and repeated wet-drying changes, the substrate is prone to compaction, collapse, or structural instability, making it difficult to maintain a stable porous system, thus adversely affecting crop root growth and underground organ development.
[0004] From the perspective of substrate structure, existing potting soils are generally prepared using a single particle size or random mixing method, resulting in a relatively simple internal pore structure. Fine particles easily migrate and fill existing pores during use, gradually reducing aeration channels and restricting air exchange. For crops with underground fruiting or enlargement growth characteristics, these structural problems are particularly prominent, easily leading to insufficient underground growth space and hindering the smooth progress of the fruiting process.
[0005] In terms of nutrient supply, existing potting soils typically meet crop growth needs by directly incorporating fast-acting or slow-release nutrient materials. However, because the distribution of nutrient materials in the substrate is relatively random, and their release behavior lacks synergistic design with the substrate's physical structure, the nutrient supply process often fails to align with the crop's growth rhythm. In practical use, early nutrient release is prone to occur. Problems such as excessively rapid growth, insufficient nutrient supply in the later stages, or localized salt accumulation can negatively impact crop root growth and... It has an adverse effect on the overall reproductive process.
[0006] Furthermore, for crops like peanuts that have underground pods, potted cultivation substrates require higher structural stability and space retention capabilities during the pod-setting stage. However, in existing technologies, most potting soils struggle to maintain their initial loose state over long periods. With increased watering frequency and the substrate's own weight, significant compaction easily occurs, restricting underground pod-setting space and consequently affecting pod quantity and quality. While some technical solutions attempt to address these issues by adding functional inorganic materials or adjusting the substrate formula, the overall results remain unstable and fail to meet the needs of peanut potted growth throughout its entire lifecycle.
[0007] From a manufacturing process perspective, most existing potting soils are prepared using simple mixing methods. The mixing process lacks a clear sequence and structural logic, resulting in products that are often loose and have limited compressive strength and structural retention. While some existing technologies have introduced molding or granulation methods, these are mostly focused on fertilizers or single-function materials and fail to be effectively integrated with the structural design of the cultivation substrate. This makes it difficult to simultaneously address the substrate's aeration, water retention, and mechanical stability, and it is also unsuitable for potted crops that require a high-quality underground growing environment.
[0008] In summary, existing potting soils for peanut cultivation still have significant shortcomings in terms of structural stability, rational pore structure, continuous nutrient supply, and adaptability to the underground pod-setting characteristics of peanuts. They are still insufficient to meet the comprehensive requirements of long-term stability of the cultivation substrate, good spatial support, and coordinated nutrient supply in peanut pot cultivation.
[0009] Therefore, researching and developing a nutrient soil with stable structure, reasonable pore structure, controllable nutrient release, and the ability to meet the needs of peanut potted growth and underground pod formation, as well as its preparation method, has good application prospects.

[0091] The preparation method of nutrient soil is as follows: First, perlite and pumice were premixed at a speed of 120 r / min for 3 min to construct a graded porous mineral particle system. Then, hydroxyapatite was added to the graded porous mineral particle system and mixed at a speed of 350 r / min for 9 min to distribute the porous control material throughout the system, thus obtaining a mineral control framework system.
[0092] Next, peat and pine sawdust were added to the mineral regulation framework system and mixed at a speed of 450 rpm for 14 minutes to form a basic matrix with a supporting structure. Then, coated slow-release fertilizer was added to the basic matrix and mixed at a speed of 65 rpm for 6 minutes to obtain a homogeneous mixture.
[0093] Finally, the mixture was granulated at a speed of 45 r / min for 25 min to obtain the desired granulation result. After obtaining granular nutrient soil with a particle size of 12mm, the granular nutrient soil is dried at 65℃ for 3.5h to obtain nutrient soil for peanut potted plants.
[0094] Example 5 The nutrient soil for peanut potted plants described in this embodiment contains the following components by weight percentage: 42% coconut coir, 35% porous mineral particles, 10% poplar sawdust, 8% hydrotalcite, and 5% coated slow-release fertilizer.
[0095] The porous mineral particles are composed of diatomaceous earth with a particle size of 7 mm and bentonite with a particle size of 3 mm in a mass ratio of 1:4.
[0096] The coated slow-release fertilizer is prepared according to the following steps: First, the potassium sulfate granules are sieved to remove excessively fine powder and obviously broken particles, so that the resulting potassium sulfate granules have a relatively uniform particle shape. The particle size of the sieved potassium sulfate granules is 3 mm.
[0097] Subsequently, polyurethane was added to anhydrous ethanol at a mass ratio of 1:15 and dispersed under stirring conditions. The stirring speed was 550 r / min, the stirring time was 45 min, and the stirring temperature was 30℃, resulting in a uniform dispersion system of polymer coating material.
[0098] Next, potassium sulfate granules were added to the polymer coating material dispersion system at a solid-liquid ratio of 3g:8mL. The coating process was carried out under continuous stirring conditions. The stirring speed was 350r / min, the stirring time was 35min, and the stirring temperature was 45℃, so that chitosan was uniformly attached to the surface of potassium sulfate granules to form a coating layer.
[0099] Finally, the coated potassium sulfate particles are subjected to a curing treatment at a temperature of [temperature missing]. The polymer coating layer is cured at 75℃ for 45 minutes to form a continuous and stable coating structure on the surface of the inorganic nutrient particles. After curing, the particles are dried at 85℃ for 4.5 hours to remove free solvent from the surface, thus obtaining the coated slow-release fertilizer.
[0100] The preparation method of nutrient soil is as follows: First, diatomaceous earth and bentonite were premixed at a speed of 180 r / min for 4 min to construct a graded porous mineral particle system. Then, hydrotalcite was added to the graded porous mineral particle system and mixed at a speed of 450 r / min for 8 min to distribute the porous control material throughout the system, thus obtaining a mineral control framework system.
[0101] Next, coconut coir and poplar sawdust were added to the mineral-regulated framework system and mixed at a speed of 550 rpm for 13 minutes to form a basic matrix with a supporting structure. Then, coated slow-release fertilizer was added to the basic matrix and mixed at a speed of 75 rpm for 5 minutes to obtain a homogeneous mixture.
[0102] Finally, the mixture was granulated at a speed of 55 r / min for 30 min to obtain the desired granulation result. After obtaining granular nutrient soil with a particle size of 14mm, the granular nutrient soil is dried at 75℃ for 4.5h to obtain nutrient soil for peanut potted plants.
[0103] Comparative Example 1 (Porous mineral particles without multi-sized particle sizes) The nutrient soil for peanut potted plants described in this comparative example has a composition that is basically the same as that in Example 1. The difference is that the porous mineral particles do not adopt a coarse and fine particle size distribution structure, but are all perlite with a particle size of 8mm as porous mineral particles.
[0104] In the preparation process, perlite of a single particle size is directly mixed with activated alumina, peat, pine bark and coated slow-release fertilizer in sequence, and then granulated and dried to obtain granular nutrient soil.
[0105] Because it lacks a graded structure composed of porous mineral particles of different sizes, this potting soil is prone to uneven pore distribution during use, which is not conducive to the long-term stability of the substrate structure under potted conditions.
[0106] Comparative Example 2 (without adding porous control materials) The nutrient soil for peanut potted plants described in this comparative example has a composition that is basically the same as that in Example 2, except that hydrotalcite is not added to the nutrient soil.
[0107] In the preparation process, only diatomaceous earth, pumice, coconut coir, poplar bark, and coated slow-release fertilizer are mixed, granulated, and dried to obtain granular nutrient soil.
[0108] Due to the lack of porous control materials, the resulting nutrient soil has limited internal structure regulation capabilities, resulting in poor substrate structure stability during potted plant use.
[0109] Comparative Example 2 (without adding porous control materials) The nutrient soil for peanut potted plants described in this comparative example has a composition that is basically the same as that in Example 2, except that hydrotalcite is not added to the nutrient soil.
[0110] In the preparation process, only diatomaceous earth, pumice, coconut coir, poplar bark, and coated slow-release fertilizer are mixed, granulated, and dried to obtain granular nutrient soil.
[0111] Due to the lack of porous control materials, the resulting nutrient soil has limited internal structure regulation capabilities, resulting in poor substrate structure stability during potted plant use.
[0112] Comparative Example 4 (changing the order of addition, without constructing the skeleton system step by step) The nutrient soil for peanut potted plants described in this comparative example uses the same types of raw materials as in Example 4, but the difference is that the preparation process does not follow the step-by-step sequence of "graded porous mineral particles → porous control materials → organic matrix and structural skeleton materials → nutrient slow-release materials".
[0113] Specifically, all raw materials are added to a mixing device at once for mixing, and then directly granulated and dried to obtain granular nutrient soil.
[0114] Because the mineral regulation framework system was not constructed in stages, the components were unevenly distributed during the mixing process, resulting in poor consistency in the particle structure of the resulting nutrient soil.
[0115] Comparative Example 5 (without granulation treatment) The nutrient soil for peanut potted plants described in this comparative example has the same raw material composition as that in Example 5, except that the mixture is not granulated during the preparation process.
[0116] After the components are mixed, the resulting mixture is dried to obtain powdery or loose nutrient soil.
[0117] Because it has not undergone granulation, the resulting nutrient soil is prone to stratification and loss during transportation and use, making it difficult to maintain a stable physical state.
[0118] To verify the physical structure stability, pore structure rationality, nutrient release controllability, and adaptability to peanut root growth and underground pod formation of the nutrient soil described in this invention under potting conditions, the nutrient soils prepared in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-5 were compared and verified.
[0119] The nutrient soils prepared in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-5 were respectively filled into plastic containers of the same size. The pots are filled with potting soil. The pots have an inner diameter of 22cm at the top, 16cm at the bottom, and a height of 20cm. Six drainage holes, each 8mm in diameter, are located at the bottom. A 2cm thick layer of 12mm expanded clay pebbles is laid at the bottom of each pot as a drainage layer, covered with a non-woven fabric layer. Then, 3.0kg of the corresponding treated potting soil is filled into each pot, leaving a 3cm gap between the soil and the rim. No strong compaction is performed during filling; only slight leveling is done. After filling, 500mL of deionized water is poured evenly into each pot for pre-wetting, allowing the potting soil to fully absorb water and settle initially. After pre-wetting, the pots are left to stand for 12 hours before sowing.
[0120] Peanut seeds of the same batch, variety, uniform size, and without damage were selected as the test material. Before sowing, the peanut seeds were soaked in a 1% sodium hypochlorite solution for 5 minutes for surface disinfection, then rinsed three times with deionized water and dried. Three peanut seeds were sown in each pot at a depth of 3 cm, evenly distributed. After sowing, the original potting soil was covered and leveled. Once the seedlings had emerged and stabilized, one healthy seedling of uniform growth was retained in each pot, and the remaining seedlings were pruned but not removed to avoid disturbing the structure of the potting soil.
[0121] Potted plants were cultivated under identical environmental conditions. During cultivation, daytime temperature was controlled at 28±2℃, nighttime temperature at 22±2℃, relative humidity at 75%, and the light cycle at 14 hours of light / 10 hours of darkness, with consistent light intensity. No additional fertilizer was applied besides watering to eliminate the influence of exogenous nutrients. Watering was done quantitatively, with each pot watered every two days, using 300 mL of water each time. When environmental evaporation increased significantly, all treatments were adjusted to watering once a day, maintaining a consistent water volume. Water was poured evenly onto the surface of the potting soil, avoiding localized erosion.
[0122] During pot cultivation, the physical structural stability of the nutrient soil under different treatments was continuously observed. Records included whether the surface of the nutrient soil showed obvious compaction, cracking, or collapse after multiple waterings; whether the granular nutrient soil particles maintained their integrity; and whether obvious stratification, pulverization, or particle breakage occurred. On day 60 of cultivation, three pots were randomly selected from each treatment group, and the soil column was removed by inverting the pots. The integrity and resistance to cracking of the soil column were observed, and the retention of the granular structure was observed through free fall.
[0123] Simultaneously, the internal pore structure of the potting soil was compared and observed. During the mid-to-late stages of cultivation, longitudinal cross-sections of some flowerpots were observed, recording whether the pore distribution at different depths was uniform, and whether there was a distinct dense layer or localized compression. Furthermore, 300 mL of deionized water was slowly added to the surface of the flowerpots. Record the time from the start of watering until the first oozing liquid appears at the bottom of the pot, as a measure of the aeration and drainage characteristics of the potting soil. refer to.
[0124] After the peanuts entered the pod-setting stage, three pots were randomly selected from each treatment group for sampling and analysis. Watering was stopped for 24 hours before sampling to allow the moisture content of the nutrient soil to become more uniform. Then, the entire pot was inverted to remove the soil column and the nutrient soil was carefully separated. The distribution range of peanut roots, root integrity, and the penetration of the pegs into the soil were observed, and the number of pods per plant and the distribution of pod locations were recorded.
[0125] Throughout the cultivation period, the growth status of peanut plants in each treatment was continuously recorded, including trends in plant height, leaf color uniformity, and whether obvious early excessive growth or late premature senescence occurred. Nutrient soil samples were collected at different stages of the cultivation process, and the conductivity of their extracts was measured as a reference indicator for the level of soluble nutrient release.
[0126] The verification results show that, compared with comparative examples 1-5, the nutrient soil for peanut potted plants described in Examples 1-5 can better maintain the stability of granular structure and overall morphology under multiple waterings and long-term potting conditions. The internal pore distribution is more uniform, providing a stable and loose growing space for peanut root growth and the penetration of underground pegs. Simultaneously, the nutrient soil described in these examples exhibits a relatively smooth and coordinated nutrient supply throughout the entire growth cycle, resulting in stable plant growth, smooth pod formation, and good pod quantity and distribution.
[0127] The above verification results indicate that the nutrient soil for peanut potted plants and its preparation method described in this invention can maintain good physical structural stability and underground growth space under potted conditions, which is conducive to the smooth growth of peanut roots and the underground pod formation process. At the same time, it can achieve a continuous and coordinated supply of nutrients, thereby meeting the actual application needs of peanut potted plant growth throughout the entire process and has good application prospects.
[0128] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
