Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of growth regulators for ratooning rice, specifically to a compound growth regulator that promotes seedling growth and strong panicle development in ratooning rice during the ratooning season, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Ratoon rice refers to a rice cultivation model where, after the first rice harvest, dormant buds on the rice stubble sprout again to form panicles, allowing for a second harvest. This achieves "one plant, two harvests," offering significant advantages in fully utilizing temperature and light resources, improving land productivity, reducing production costs, and increasing grain yield. Developing ratoon rice is crucial for ensuring my country's food security and enhancing farmers' economic benefits. The yield of ratoon rice is highly dependent on the quality of seedling emergence and panicle formation efficiency during the ratoon season. The germination rate of regenerated buds, seedling formation rate, and panicle development directly determine the yield. Plant growth regulators, as key means of regulating the growth and development of ratoon rice, have attracted considerable attention for their application in promoting regenerated bud germination, strengthening panicles, and increasing yield.
[0003] Currently, most growth regulators used in agricultural production for controlling the ratooning season of rice are single-component formulations or simple compound formulations, mainly including gibberellins, cytokinins, and brassinolides. While gibberellins can break dormancy and promote bud elongation, thus increasing the number of ratooning seedlings to some extent, they suffer from poor targeting, easily leading to excessive vegetative growth and decreased stress resistance. Furthermore, their effect on promoting the germination of low-node axillary buds is weak, resulting in low uniformity of bud germination and insufficient seedling numbers, making it difficult to significantly increase the number of panicles in the field during the ratooning season. Cytokinins can promote cell division and bud differentiation, but when used alone, they easily cause premature senescence in the later stages, failing to provide continuous nutritional support for panicle development, leading to a low panicle formation rate. While brassinolides and other regulators can improve plant stress resistance, their effect on promoting bud germination is limited, and their use alone cannot simultaneously meet the dual needs of seedling emergence and strong panicle development.
[0004] The development of existing compound growth regulators is mostly limited to simple mixing, lacking a systematic design for the synergistic effects between components. This has significant shortcomings in improving the number of panicles and yield of ratooning rice in the field. Some compound formulations overemphasize promoting the germination of regenerated buds, resulting in excessive tillering, overly dense field populations, intense nutrient competition, and a significant decrease in the effective panicle formation rate. Other formulations focus on panicle development but inhibit the germination of lower node buds, resulting in insufficient total number of panicles in the field and restricting the effective increase in yield during the ratooning season.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a compound growth regulator that can synergistically promote seedling growth and panicle development in the regeneration season of ratooning rice and increase its yield. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the aforementioned deficiencies in the prior art, this invention provides a compound growth regulator for promoting seedling growth and strong panicle development in ratooning rice, its preparation method, and its application. The regulator comprises the following components: zeatin nucleoside, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, a surfactant, and an alkaline solution. Zeatin nucleoside is dissolved in the alkaline solution, and an appropriate amount of water is added to achieve the target concentration. Potassium dihydrogen phosphate is then added and dissolved, followed by the surfactant. The mixture is stirred until homogeneous to prepare the compound growth regulator. The compound growth regulator is sprayed once three days before and once one day after the first harvest of ratooning rice. The dosage of the compound growth regulator is 30-50 L / mu (approximately 0.067 hectares). Spraying the compound growth regulator before and after the first harvest of ratooning rice significantly increases the number of panicles per unit area, the seed setting rate, and the yield in the ratooning season. Its effect is significantly better than applying zeatin nucleoside or potassium dihydrogen phosphate alone, and it can solve the problems of insufficient panicle number and low yield in the field during the ratooning season of ratooning rice.
[0007] To achieve the above technical effects, the following technical solution is adopted: A compound growth regulator that promotes seedling growth and strong panicle development in the regeneration season of rice comprises the following components: zeatin nucleoside, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, surfactant, and alkaline solution. Furthermore, the mass ratio of zeatin nucleoside to potassium dihydrogen phosphate is 1~2 mg: 50~80 g; Furthermore, the mass ratio of zeatin nucleoside to potassium dihydrogen phosphate is 1.6 mg: 64 g; Furthermore, the preparation method of the composite growth regulator includes the following steps: dissolving zeatin nucleoside in an alkaline solution with a concentration of 0.5~2 mol / L, adding an appropriate amount of water to the target concentration, then adding potassium dihydrogen phosphate to dissolve, and then adding a surfactant to the solution, stirring evenly to obtain the composite growth regulator solution; Furthermore, the concentration of the zeatin nucleoside in the composite growth regulator solution is 0.02~0.1 mg / L; Furthermore, the concentration of potassium dihydrogen phosphate in the composite growth regulator solution is 1~3 g / L; Furthermore, the alkaline solution is a sodium hydroxide solution with a concentration of 0.8~1.5 mol / L; Furthermore, the surfactant is Tween, and its concentration in the composite growth regulator solution is 0.5-2 g / L; Furthermore, the compound growth regulator was sprayed once three days before the first harvest of ratooning rice and once one day after the harvest. Furthermore, the dosage of the compound growth regulator is 30-50 L / mu.
[0008] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention provides a compound growth regulator for promoting seedling emergence and panicle development in ratooning rice, its preparation method, and its application. The compound growth regulator comprises the following components: zeatin nucleoside, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, a surfactant, and an alkaline solution. Zeatin nucleoside is dissolved in the alkaline solution, and an appropriate amount of water is added to achieve the target concentration. Then, potassium dihydrogen phosphate is added and dissolved. The surfactant is then added to the solution, and the mixture is stirred until homogeneous to prepare the compound growth regulator. The compound growth regulator is sprayed once three days before and once one day after the first harvest of ratooning rice, at a dosage of 30-50 L / mu. After spraying the compound growth regulator on ratooning rice, the number of effective panicles and the grain filling rate in the field are increased by promoting axillary bud germination, ultimately increasing the yield of ratooning rice in the ratooning season. Its technical effect is significantly better than applying zeatin nucleoside or potassium dihydrogen phosphate alone. Furthermore, the combination of zeatin nucleoside and potassium dihydrogen phosphate synergistically increases the yield of ratooning rice, solving the technical problems of insufficient panicle number and low yield in the field during the ratooning season, and has good application value.

After stirring and dispersing evenly, the composite growth regulator was obtained.
[0015] Example 3: 2 mg of zeatin nucleoside was dissolved in a 1 mol / L sodium hydroxide solution, and then water was added until the concentration of zeatin nucleoside was 0.02 mg / L. Potassium dihydrogen phosphate was then added to the solution at a concentration of 1 g / L, and Tween 80 was added at a concentration of 0.5 g / L. After stirring and dispersing evenly, the composite growth regulator was obtained.
[0016] Comparative Example 1: 2 mg of zeatin nucleoside was dissolved in a 1 mol / L sodium hydroxide solution, and then water was added until the concentration of zeatin nucleoside was 0.05 mg / L. Tween 80 was then added to the solution at a concentration of 1 g / L. After stirring and dispersing evenly, a composite growth regulator was obtained.
[0017] Comparative Example 2: Take 40 L of water, add 80 g of potassium dihydrogen phosphate, stir until dissolved, then add 40 g of Tween 80, stir and disperse evenly to obtain a composite growth regulator.
[0018] Comparative Example 3: The blank control group was replaced with an equal amount of water instead of the compound growth regulator in Example 1.
[0019] Application examples The following field plot comparison tests were conducted on the compound growth regulators obtained in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-3. Each case of compound growth regulator was set up with 3 plots for replication. Experimental site and field: Shihou Village, Jinjiang Town, Shanggao County, Jiangxi Province (114.90) 0 E, 28.22 0N). The experimental field was divided into 18 plots, arranged in a randomized block design, with each plot having an area of 70m². 2 (10m*7m), each plot is separated by field ridges and covered with plastic film to prevent water and fertilizer from mixing. To improve the applicability of this plan, mechanized harvesting is used in the first season for each plot.
[0020] The ratooning rice variety tested was Weiliangyou 8612.
[0021] Trial period: March 23, 2025 - October 28, 2025.
[0022] The experimental procedure was as follows: The first crop of ratooning rice was harvested on August 8th. Spraying experiments were conducted 3 days before and 1 day after the first crop harvest, with spraying performed after 5 PM on those days. A small sprayer was used to evenly spray the prepared compound growth regulator onto each plot. The spraying rate for each plot was calculated based on the average application rate per acre (40 L / acre). After spraying, water and fertilizer management and pest and disease control for the ratooning season were the same as for conventional planting, and remained consistent across all experimental plots. The ratooning season was harvested on October 28th. On that day, a 5m² area was randomly selected from each plot. 2 In the yield measurement area, the actual yield was calculated after manual harvesting and threshing; at the same time, 10 representative rice plants were selected along the diagonal of each plot to investigate the factors that constitute the yield.
[0023] Test method: Grain setting rate = number of filled grains / total number of grains (filled grains + empty grains).
[0024] The experimental results are shown in Table 1.
[0025] Table 1. Yield and composition of ratooning rice under different treatment groups during the ratoon season.
[0026] As shown in Table 1, compared with Comparative Examples 1-3, the treatment groups of Examples 1-3 significantly increased the number of panicles per unit area, the seed setting rate, and the actual yield during the ratooning season. Compared with Control Example 3 (blank control), the actual yield increase rate during the ratooning season in the treatment group of Example 1 was 12.78%, while the actual yield increase rates during the ratooning season in the treatment groups of Comparative Examples 1 and 2 were 3.62% and 1.7%, respectively. The yield increase rate during the ratooning season in the treatment group of Example 1 was greater than the sum of the yield increase rates of Comparative Examples 1 and 2. This invention verifies that zeatin nucleoside and potassium dihydrogen phosphate can synergistically increase the yield during the ratooning season, and their effect is significantly better than applying zeatin nucleoside or potassium dihydrogen phosphate alone. The present invention uses zeatin nucleoside and potassium dihydrogen phosphate as a compound growth regulator for ratooning rice, which can promote axillary bud germination, increase the number of effective panicles and the seed setting rate in the field during the ratooning season, and ultimately increase the yield of ratooning rice during the ratooning season. This invention can solve the technical problems of insufficient number of panicles and low yield in the field during the ratooning season of ratooning rice.
