Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of paddy field filament control technology, specifically relating to a method for controlling paddy field filaments suitable for single-season rice areas in Northeast China. Background Technology
[0002] Spirogyra is a common and noxious weed in paddy fields in Northeast China. In Heilongjiang Province, it infests approximately 39 million mu (about 2.67 million hectares) of paddy fields annually, causing serious damage to about 1 million mu (about 667,000 hectares). Spirogyra has low nutrient requirements but is highly sensitive to phosphorus. Topical application of phosphate fertilizer, in particular, easily induces its growth. During the rice tillering stage, its widespread proliferation often blocks sunlight and air, lowering paddy field water temperature and dissolved oxygen levels. Furthermore, Spirogyra itself not only competes for nitrogen and phosphorus but, in severe cases, can also encase rice roots, restricting normal tillering and causing stunted growth and seedling death. Currently, the main methods for controlling Spirogyra in paddy fields are the application of algaecides and manual removal. Algaecides are effective, but long-term use increases Spirogyra's resistance, and improper use can cause secondary pollution. Manual removal is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and Spirogyra easily proliferates rapidly through fragmentation. Therefore, how to control Spirogyra in paddy fields using near-natural methods is a pressing problem that needs to be solved.
[0003] Chinese invention patent CN202111598318.0 discloses a pharmaceutical composition for controlling Spirogyra in paddy fields. The composition is characterized by being made from the following raw materials per 1L: 170-210g erythromycin thiocyanate, 190-230g sodium diacetate, 180-220g organic solvent, 8-12g compound vitamins, 50-70g emulsifier, with the balance being water. The disadvantages of this composition are that it contains biotoxic substances that inhibit the life activities of organisms in the aquatic environment and cause biotoxicity problems. It poses a potential pollution risk, and the dead Spirogyra releases large amounts of nitrogen- and phosphorus-containing organic pollutants, further damaging the environment. Chinese invention patent CN201310379079.9 discloses a method for preventing Spirogyra in paddy fields through pre-plowing fertilization. The method includes the following steps: cultivating strong seedlings in the seedbed, meticulous land preparation in the paddy field, pre-plowing fertilization, tilling, setting up a screen filter pond, post-plowing irrigation and harrowing, weed control, transplanting, water layer management, application of fertilizer during the heading stage, pest and disease control, and harvesting. In particular, the pre-plowing fertilization step involves applying 85%–90% of the planned nitrogen fertilizer, 100% of the phosphorus fertilizer, and 100% of the potassium fertilizer to the soil surface in one go before tilling. This is done manually or by agricultural machinery, with manual patching to ensure no overlap or omissions. The disadvantages of this method are that it requires high precision in land preparation, places additional demands on water management facilities, increases initial investment, and has a relatively complex technical process, making it unsuitable for widespread application. Chinese invention patent CN202111491357.0 discloses a method for integrated weed control in organic paddy fields. The implementation steps of this method include: after the previous season's rice harvest, weed control is carried out in both the field and along the field ridges; before rice planting, fully decomposed organic fertilizer is applied to the paddy field, followed by land preparation and sun-drying to remove weed roots and stems; the paddy field is then covered with mulch, rice seedlings are transplanted, and the field is flooded; during the rice growing season, weed control along the field ridges and intermittent sun-drying are combined to purify the paddy field water environment, and manual weeding is carried out once if necessary; before the rice harvest, manual weeding is conducted in the field to remove mature weed inflorescences. The disadvantages of this method are that the organic fertilizer decomposition process requires professional handling and time; otherwise, it may introduce pathogens or affect oil film formation. Furthermore, this method has high costs and a high operational threshold, and the technical process is relatively complex.
[0004] In summary, the above invention patents show that the main methods for controlling Spirogyra are to use drug combinations or a combination of pre-plowing fertilization and land preparation. However, drug combinations may burden the environment, and existing combination methods are complex and not suitable for widespread application. Summary of the Invention

After the rice matures, it is harvested, the straw is crushed and scattered to obtain straw crushed material; S2, Autumn application of phosphate fertilizer and autumn cutting and burying of all straw: In autumn, apply 1 / 3 to 2 / 3 of the phosphate fertilizer during the entire growth period of rice. Use a tiller to break up the root stubble and loosen the soil layer. The working depth is 20cm to 25cm. Use a machine that integrates a disc harrow, a horizontal pressing component and a screed to evenly mix and bury the straw root stubble, phosphate fertilizer and the straw crushed material obtained in S1 into the 0cm to 25cm soil layer, and then level the field surface. S3. During the soil thawing period in the following spring, land preparation work is carried out at a depth of 10cm to 15cm. S4. During the spring planting season, the fields are soaked to remove slurry, and then rice seedlings are transplanted. S5. In the early stage of rice tillering, drain the water from the field surface, dry the field, and then irrigate. Preferably, before the S3 land preparation operation, the remaining phosphate and nitrogen fertilizers from the entire growth period are first spread on the soil surface, and then the land preparation and returning operation is carried out, mixing the fertilizers into the soil during the land preparation operation.
[0007] Preferably, the amount of phosphate fertilizer applied to S1 throughout its entire growth period is 3 kg / mu to 5 kg / mu (calculated as P2O5).
[0008] Preferably, the depth of the paddy field in S4 is 3cm to 5cm, and the depth of the slurry formation is 2cm to 5cm.
[0009] Preferably, the drying time in S5 is 4 to 6 days.

By adopting a near-natural approach, it mitigates the pesticide pollution problem caused by pesticide control of Spirogyra. Combined with autumn application of phosphate fertilizer, the control efficacy against Spirogyra in paddy fields can reach over 95%. This contributes to increased rice yield, saves production costs, and reduces farmers' costs associated with fertilizer application and Spirogyra control.

[0018] The method for controlling Spirogyra in paddy fields in this comparative example is the same as in Example 1, except that: in step S5, the paddy field is not dried during the early tillering stage of rice, while the other steps are the same as in Example 1.
[0019] Comparative Example 3 The experimental site information and experimental time of this comparative example are the same as those of Comparative Example 1, the soil properties are the same, and the experimental site area is 657.4 m². 2 .

[0025] Fifteen days after the field drying in Example 1, the Spirogyra coverage rate was measured at each test site of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-5 using a three-point sampling method. A 1m sample was taken at each point. 2The quadrats were used, and the average value was taken as the Spirogyra coverage rate. The 15-day Spirogyra coverage rate was determined by observing the coverage and control efficacy of Spirogyra 15 days after treatment. A grading system was established: 0 (no Spirogyra), 1 (1%–10% with slight Spirogyra), 3 (11%–25% with some green), 5 (26%–50% visible Spirogyra), 7 (51%–75% with a network), and 9 (76%–100% with widespread Spirogyra). The occurrence level of Spirogyra for each treatment was recorded and compared with Comparative Example 4 to calculate the control efficacy. Three representative points were selected at each test site, within a 1m radius. 2 Samples were taken and weighed within the specified area, and the control efficacy was calculated by comparing each treatment group with the control group. The control effect T was calculated based on the experimental data.
[0026] Formula for calculating control effectiveness: T = (C0 - C1) / C0 × 100% In the formula: T -- prevention and control effect %.
[0027] C0 -- Average weight of Spirogyra in the blank control group.
[0028] C1 -- Average weight of Spirogyra after treatment.
[0029] Formula for calculating control effectiveness: Control effectiveness = (Average coverage rate of Spirogyra in control area - Average coverage rate of Spirogyra in treatment area) / Average coverage rate of Spirogyra in control area × 100% Table 1 shows the average weight and control effect of different treatments at each test site. The results show that the control effect of Spirogyra in Experiment 1 was 95.09% 15 days after the field was dried in the early tillering stage. The control effect of the method of the present invention was significantly higher than that of Comparative Examples 1-5, and the control effect was significant.
[0030] Table 1. Average weight and control effect of Spirogyra in Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-5 Note: "--" in the table indicates that Comparative Example 5 is used as a blank control.
[0031] Table 2 shows the yield data and effective tiller number of different treatments at the experimental site in Daxing Town, Tailai County. The yield was measured using the mechanical harvesting method. Impurities and empty grains were removed, and the rice was weighed on-site and the moisture content was measured. The yield results after converting to the standard moisture content (14.5%) are shown in Table 2. The yield measured by Example 1 of this invention, the actual yield, effective tiller number, and yield per mu are better than those of Comparative Examples 1-5.
