Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of planting industry (including soil cultivation, soilless substrate cultivation, hydroponics, aeroponics, etc.), specifically to a slow-release nano-organic trace element fertilizer and its production method. Background Technology
[0002] Micronutrient fertilizers contain trace nutrients such as boron, zinc, molybdenum, iron, manganese, and copper. Crops require small amounts of these nutrients, but they are irreplaceable. Deficiency or excess will affect yield and quality, and severe excess can even endanger human and animal health.
[0003] Micronutrient fertilizers are mainly inorganic salts or oxides. Some mineral and metallurgical by-products or wastes can often be used as raw materials for micronutrient fertilizers. Their production methods are the same as those for inorganic chemical products.
[0004] Most current micronutrient fertilizers are in the form of soluble micronutrient ions (inorganic or organic), which have the advantage of rapid absorption, but are also easily lost and have a relatively short duration of action. Most metallic micronutrients in nature exist in oxidized form (ore), making them difficult for plants to utilize and resulting in poor efficacy. Large quantities of elemental metals (scrap iron, scrap copper, slag, ore) are also difficult to use as fertilizers. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a slow-release nano-organic trace element fertilizer and its production method. The nano-scale trace element fertilizer has a large specific surface area, which can greatly improve the absorption and utilization efficiency of trace elements. It expands the sources of trace element fertilizer, allowing the use not only of trace element salts but also the conversion of oxides (in stone form) and elemental metals (in hard blocks) containing specific trace elements into trace element fertilizer. The slow-release time can be set according to different application scenarios, improving ease of use. The nano-scale trace element fertilizer can be used in conjunction with organic fertilizers, compound fertilizers, fertigation fertilizers, pesticides, etc., and can also be applied in integrated water and fertilizer systems. The nano-scale trace element fertilizer is water-insoluble, reducing the impact of environmental factors such as rain and resulting in higher utilization efficiency.

First, add 196 g of ferrous sulfate heptahydrate powder and stir continuously at 500 rpm for 30 min to generate nano-ferric phytate particles; then add 169 g of manganese sulfate monohydrate powder and stir continuously at 500 rpm for 25 min to generate iron-manganese composite phytate particles; finally, add 288 g of zinc sulfate heptahydrate powder and stir again at 800 rpm for 35 min to obtain an organic trace element fertilizer nano-suspension, mix it into 300 g of fermented and decomposed Dalbergia odorifera forest litter compost, and then stir at 1000 rpm until uniformly mixed.
[0017] Phytic acid molecules contain six hydroxyl groups, which can form stable six-coordinate chelates with metal ions (such as Fe-phytate, Zn-phytate, etc.). Phytates of divalent and higher-valent metals have extremely low solubility (<0.1 mg / L). The nanoparticles (50-300 nm) generated by the reaction have high surface energy and good dispersibility, and can be stably suspended in water for a long time, avoiding direct contact of metal ions with the environment and loss.
[0018] After fertilizer is applied to the soil, natural microorganisms in the environment (or artificially added microorganisms / phytase) secrete phytase, which specifically hydrolyzes the ester bonds of phytates, gradually releasing trace element ions (such as Fe²⁺). + Zn² + ) and phosphate. By adjusting the amount of microbial inoculum or enzyme added, the rate of phytate decomposition can be precisely controlled, achieving a slow-release supply of trace elements (the release period can reach 1-3 months or more).
[0019] Metal oxides (such as iron oxide slag), elemental metals (such as waste copper powder), and metal components in industrial waste can be converted into effective nutrients through reaction with phytic acid; at the same time, phytases naturally present in soil organic matter (such as humic acid-related enzymes) can further assist in controlled release without the need for additional chemical coating processes.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the slow-release nano-organic trace element fertilizer and its production method of the present invention are reflected in: Through a dual mechanism of phytate insolubility and microbial controlled release, it significantly extends the effective supply period of trace elements (3-5 times longer than traditional ionic fertilizers) and reduces the loss rate (more than 60% lower); the nano-sized particles (specific surface area ≥300 m² / g) have a large specific surface area, ensuring sufficient contact with the root system, and combined with controlled release, the absorption efficiency of trace elements is increased by 20-40%; it can convert insoluble metal oxides, elemental metals, and industrial waste into fertilizer, reducing production costs and environmental pollution; it is suitable for various trace elements (Fe, Zn, Mn, Cu, Mo, etc.) and different soil types, and can be used alone or in combination with organic fertilizers and macronutrient fertilizers; Nanoscale micronutrient fertilizers possess a huge specific surface area, which can greatly improve the absorption and utilization efficiency of micronutrients. They also expand the sources of micronutrient fertilizers, allowing the use not only of micronutrient salts but also the conversion of oxides (in stone form) and elemental metals (in hard blocks) containing specific micronutrients into micronutrient fertilizers. Slow-release times can be set according to different application scenarios, improving ease of use. Nanoscale micronutrient fertilizers can be used in conjunction with organic fertilizers, compound fertilizers, fertigation fertilizers, and pesticides, and can also be applied in integrated water and fertilizer systems. Furthermore, nanoscale micronutrient fertilizers are water-insoluble, reducing the impact of environmental factors such as rain and resulting in higher utilization efficiency. Detailed Implementation

[0029] A method for producing a slow-release nano-organic trace element fertilizer as described above includes the following steps: accurately weigh 150 g of analytical grade ferric sulfate powder, add it in 3 portions to 100 ml of 50% phytic acid aqueous solution, and stir at 300 rpm for 5 min after each addition, for a total of 15 min of stirring to obtain an organic trace element fertilizer nano suspension, mix it into 50,000 g of fermented and decomposed chicken manure, and then stir at 1000 rpm until the mixture is uniform.
[0030] The control treatment consisted of the same weight of fermented chicken manure (without added organic trace element fertilizer nano-suspension). Forty mature rock sugar orange trees (variety: 'Jincheng', 5 years old, all exhibiting typical iron deficiency chlorosis symptoms—interveinal yellowing of new leaves while the veins remained green) with similar growth conditions were selected from the same orchard and randomly divided into two groups (20 trees in each group). The experimental group received 5000 g of slow-release nano-organic trace element fertilizer (containing approximately 1.875 g of ferric sulfate per tree) applied to the canopy projection area under each tree. The control group received 5000 g of ordinary fermented chicken manure (without added organic trace element fertilizer nano-suspension) per tree.
[0031] Comparison of effects: Experimental group (slow-release nano-organic trace element fertilizer): On the 3rd day after application, the edges of the yellowed leaves began to recover their green color. On the 5th day, the yellowing between the veins of the new leaves obviously faded, and the leaves turned green as a whole (the leaf color was basically the same as that of healthy plants). Control group (ordinary chicken manure, without added organic trace element fertilizer nano suspension): On the 10th day after application, there was no significant improvement in leaf yellowing; on the 15th day, only a few plants showed slight greening between the veins of new leaves; and on the 20th day, some leaves still remained noticeably yellow.

Example 3
[0033] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 2 is that: A method for producing a slow-release nano-organic trace element fertilizer as described above includes the following steps: accurately weigh 180 g of food-grade calcium carbonate powder or 200 g of eggshell powder, add it in 3 portions to 120 ml of a 50% phytic acid aqueous solution, stirring at 300 rpm for 8 min after each addition, for a total stirring time of 24 min, to obtain an organic trace element fertilizer nano-suspension, then add 50,000 g of molasses alcohol waste fermentation liquid with a COD value of 8000 mg / L and an organic matter content of 15%, adjust the pH to 6.5-7.0, and then stir at 1500 rpm until the mixture is uniform.
[0034] The control treatment consisted of the same volume of ordinary molasses alcohol waste fermentation liquid (without the addition of slow-release nano-organic micronutrient fertilizer). Forty tomato plants (variety: Pink Fruit General, characterized by a dark brown, sunken, and rotten blossom-end rot at the fruit blossom end and yellowing of the leaf margins at the top) that had developed blossom-end rot (a typical symptom of calcium deficiency) after three consecutive cropping seasons were selected and randomly divided into two groups (20 plants in each group). In the experimental group, each tomato plant was irrigated with 2500 g of slow-release nano-organic micronutrient fertilizer (containing approximately 4.5 g of calcium carbonate per plant) at the root zone, while in the control group, each plant was irrigated with 2500 g of ordinary molasses alcohol waste fermentation liquid.
[0035] Test metrics and results: Incidence of umbilical rot: The incidence of umbilical rot in the experimental group was 5%, which was significantly lower than that in the control group (45%) by 40 percentage points; Fruit firmness: The firmness of the tomatoes in the experimental group was 3.2 kg / cm², which was 52.4% higher than that of the control group (2.1 kg / cm²). Calcium content: The calcium content of tomato fruit in the experimental group was 186 mg / 100g FW, which was 90.0% higher than that in the control group (98 mg / 100g FW); Single fruit weight: The average single fruit weight in the experimental group was 186.7 g, which was 22.6% higher than that in the control group (152.3 g).
[0036] Conclusion: This embodiment verifies that the combination of calcium-phytic acid organic trace element fertilizer nano-suspension and organic waste liquid fermentation fertilizer can effectively prevent blossom-end rot in tomatoes, increase fruit calcium content, firmness, and single fruit weight, and the nano-sized phytic acid calcium particles (average particle size 300 nm, specific surface area approximately 290 m²) are effective. 2 The slow-release properties of ( / g) ensure a continuous supply of calcium, making it particularly suitable for vegetable crops prone to calcium deficiency in greenhouse cultivation.

The experimental zone received 200,000 g of slow-release nano-organic micronutrient fertilizer per mu (containing approximately 3.6 kg / mu of sulfur) as basal application, while the control group received 200,000 g of ordinary phosphogypsum tailings per mu (containing approximately 3.6 kg / mu of sulfur, without the addition of nano-organic micronutrient fertilizer suspension). Relevant indicators were measured during the rapeseed's full flowering period.
[0039] Test metrics and results: Soil pH value: The soil pH value in the experimental area increased to 5.6, which was 0.7 units higher than that in the control group (4.9).
[0040] Sulfur content: The sulfur content of the aboveground parts of rapeseed in the experimental group was 0.42%, which was 100.0% higher than that in the control group (0.21%).
[0041] Dry matter accumulation: The aboveground dry matter weight of rapeseed in the experimental group was 1286 kg / mu, which was 31.0% higher than that of the control group (982 kg / mu).
[0042] Yield: The rapeseed grain yield in the experimental group was 215 kg / mu, which was 30.3% higher than that in the control group (165 kg / mu).

[0078] 5. Microstructure Verification: Transmission electron microscopy revealed that the phytic acid-iron-manganese-zinc composite microparticles in the Dalbergia odorifera-specific nano-trace element fertilizer are mainly distributed in the range of 120-300 nm (average approximately 210 nm), with a large specific surface area. This facilitates interaction with rhizosphere exudates (such as organic acids and sugars) of Dalbergia odorifera, promoting root contact and absorption of the nanoparticles. The stable chelate structure formed by the six hydroxyl groups of phytic acid molecules with iron, manganese, and zinc ions ensures the stability of trace elements in the soil, reducing the risk of fixation or leaching by soil colloids.
[0079] Conclusion: This embodiment verifies that a special nano-micronutrient fertilizer for Dalbergia odorifera (based on phytic acid-chelated iron, manganese, and zinc and utilizing the slow-release properties of nanoparticles) can significantly promote the growth of Dalbergia odorifera (increasing diameter at breast height by nearly 100% and tree height by over 60%), effectively prevent and improve leaf yellowing symptoms, increase the content of trace elements such as iron, manganese, and zinc in leaves and photosynthetic efficiency, enhance antioxidant capacity and stress resistance, and solve the problems of easy loss and low absorption efficiency of traditional sulfate trace element fertilizers. This special fertilizer is particularly suitable for the artificial cultivation and quality improvement of rare and precious tree species such as Dalbergia odorifera, providing an innovative solution for the nutritional management of precious tree species, and has significant promotional value and application prospects.
[0080] This invention significantly extends the effective supply period of micronutrients (3-5 times longer than traditional ionic fertilizers) and reduces the loss rate (more than 60% lower) through a dual mechanism of phytate insolubility and microbial controlled release. The large surface area of the nano-sized particles (specific surface area ≥300 m² / g) ensures sufficient contact with roots, and combined with controlled release, increases micronutrient absorption efficiency by 20-40%. It can convert insoluble metal oxides, elemental metals, and industrial waste into fertilizer, reducing production costs and environmental pollution. It is suitable for various micronutrients (Fe, Zn, Mn, Cu, Mo, etc.) and different soil types, and can be used alone or in combination with organic fertilizers and macronutrient fertilizers. Nanoscale micronutrient fertilizers possess a huge specific surface area, which can greatly improve the absorption and utilization efficiency of micronutrients. They also expand the sources of micronutrient fertilizers, allowing the use not only of micronutrient salts but also the conversion of oxides (in stone form) and elemental metals (in hard blocks) containing specific micronutrients into micronutrient fertilizers. Slow-release times can be set according to different application scenarios, improving ease of use. Nanoscale micronutrient fertilizers can be used in conjunction with organic fertilizers, compound fertilizers, fertigation fertilizers, and pesticides, and can also be applied in integrated water and fertilizer systems. Furthermore, nanoscale micronutrient fertilizers are water-insoluble, reducing the impact of environmental factors such as rain and resulting in higher utilization efficiency.
