Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of corn planting technology, specifically to a bio-slow-release fertilizer for corn planting on slopes and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Corn is one of the world's most important food crops. Corn cultivation usually requires tilling the land, especially when planted on slopes, where soil loosening reduces surface stability. Without cover (such as straw, mulch film) or vegetation protection, rainwater erosion can easily lead to the loss of topsoil.

[0003] Of Yunnan Province's nearly 80 million mu (approximately 5.3 million hectares) of arable land, 75% is sloping land, with half of these slopes exceeding 6°. This area is also the main corn-growing region in Yunnan. Yunnan is located in a typical monsoon climate zone, with an annual rainfall of approximately 1100 mm. Of this, 85-90% of the rainfall is concentrated between May and October; 60% is concentrated between June and August; and less than 10-15% is received from November to April of the following year. Due to this extremely uneven rainfall distribution, drought in winter and spring and soil erosion from summer torrential rains are prominent problems. This has led to a dilemma in corn production: "early planting results in no corn, late planting results in no corn ripening."

[0004] Current methods mostly involve adjusting the corn planting time, postponing the original mid-to-late April planting to mid-to-late May. Although this method improves the corn emergence rate, it still presents problems such as soil erosion and difficulties in corn ripening and harvesting. First, early heavy rains often occur during the period from corn sowing to crop canopy closure, and the loosening of the soil during this period exacerbates soil erosion. Second, the extended harvest time means that corn will be harvested in October, but the sharp drop in temperature in September makes it difficult for corn to ripen, resulting in reduced yield. Third, the corn harvesting period in October is often accompanied by continuous rainy weather with "rotten soil and yellowing leaves," making harvesting difficult.

[0005] Therefore, ensuring normal corn planting while avoiding the adverse weather conditions in September and October, and thus guaranteeing corn yield, is an important research direction at this stage. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a biological slow-release fertilizer for corn planting on slopes and its preparation method. By adjusting and improving the fertilizer, it effectively promotes the early maturity of corn planted on slopes, achieving the effect of high-yield corn planting.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0017] S2-2. Mix corn starch with 3-5 times its volume of water and treat at 75℃ for 30-40 minutes, then freeze dry to obtain fully gelatinized starch.

[0018] S2-3. Mix semi-gelatinized starch and fully gelatinized starch evenly at a mass ratio of 3-5:1 to obtain modified starch material.

[0019] The preparation method of the above-mentioned slow-release fertilizer includes the following steps:

[0020] (1) Add the modified starch to 15-20 times the amount of water and stir thoroughly to obtain starch slurry for later use;

[0021] (2) Add the fermented straw and diatomaceous earth to the starch slurry and mix thoroughly to obtain the first mixture;

[0025] Preferably, the stirring speed in step (4) is 80-200 r / min.

[0026] Preferably, the drying temperature in step (4) is 35-45℃.

[0027] This invention provides a bio-slow-release fertilizer for corn planting on slopes and its preparation method, which has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

This fertilizer effectively improves soil water retention capacity, promotes rapid corn growth, reduces water and soil loss as well as nitrogen and phosphorus nutrient loss, and effectively avoids the impact of a sharp drop in temperature in September on corn maturity, thus achieving a bumper corn yield and increasing the economic benefits of corn planting.

[0063] Following the above preparation method, different slow-release fertilizers were prepared by selecting different fermented straw materials and modified starch materials according to Table 2 below:

[0064]

[0065] Comparative Example 1:

[0066] Referring to the preparation method and formula of SRF-1 slow-release fertilizer in Example 2 above, only the addition of trisodium ethylenediamine disuccinate was omitted to obtain SRF-8 slow-release fertilizer.

[0067] Comparative Example 2:

[0068] Referring to the preparation method and formula of SRF-1 slow-release fertilizer in Example 2 above, only the addition of propyl gallate was omitted to obtain SRF-9 slow-release fertilizer.

[0069] Planting experiment:

[0070] A sloping area (8° slope) in Zhanyi District, Qujing City, Yunnan Province was selected as the planting experimental area. Deep plowing and sun-drying were carried out in late March, and the land was leveled and compacted before sowing (e.g., ...). Figure 1 );

[0071] Planting with wide and narrow rows, with a wide row spacing of 90cm and a narrow row spacing of 40cm-50cm; create ridges 1.2 meters apart along the contour lines, with a ridge width of 70cm-80cm and a ridge height of 15cm;

[0072] The experimental area was divided into 10 planting zones (each planting zone was further divided into 3 planting blocks as replicates). Multiple planting holes with a row spacing of 30-40 cm were dug on the soil surface in each planting zone. Slow-release fertilizer (250g per hole) was applied to each planting hole, covered with a thin layer of soil, and then covered with a plastic film. After breaking the film in the center of each planting hole, 2-3 corn seeds were sown in each hole and covered with soil. Subsequently, a 75% acetochlor emulsion diluted 300 times with water was sprayed. When the corn reached 5 leaves, thinning began to ensure one plant per hole (e.g., ...). Figure 2 ).

[0073] The selection of slow-release fertilizers for each planting area is shown in Table 3 below:

[0074]

[0075] Starting in August, check the maturity of corn in each planting area (maturity is indicated by the outer corn husks turning white and loosening), and harvest in a timely manner (compare corn from different planting areas at harvest time). Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in Table 4, the corn in the planting area is considered fully mature when the total number of corn ears harvested reaches 80%. The time of full maturity is recorded, and the corn yield and thousand-kernel weight are calculated.

[0076]

[0077] In conclusion, choosing slow-release fertilizers SRF-1 and SRF-6 for planting can effectively promote early maturity of corn and achieve the goal of high yield.

[0078] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
