TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to ginger air fog cultivation technical field, concretely is a kind of cultivation equipment that ginger air fog and substrate cultivation are combined. BACKGROUND
[0002] Air fog cultivation is a method of growing plants in a soilless environment, where the roots of the plants are suspended in air and sprayed with a nutrient-rich water solution. Compared to traditional soil agriculture, air fog cultivation has several advantages, including faster growth rates, higher crop yields, and more efficient resource use. The soilless environment also reduces the risk of soil-borne pests and diseases, enabling a sustainable and environmentally-friendly method of agriculture.
[0003] Ginger has underdeveloped root systems and is considered a shallow-rooted plant. Its root system is primarily distributed within the top 30 cm of soil, and when grown in a soilless environment, it requires a relatively high level of dissolved oxygen in the nutrient solution. Compared to some deep-rooted soilless cultivation plants, ginger's root system is more susceptible to poor growth if it is consistently in an oxygen-deficient environment. Additionally, ginger's root system lacks root hairs, which makes it less efficient at absorbing nutrients and water.
[0004] In current air fog cultivation methods, ginger is typically cultivated by directly spraying air fog onto the cultivation medium of the plant. Since ginger's root system lacks root hairs, the roots can easily penetrate the medium soil and disorderedly penetrate the planting net. The growth of disordered roots consumes a large amount of nutrients, inhibiting the growth of branch roots, and thus the plant cannot develop sufficient branch roots, leading to inhibited growth of the main stem. Additionally, excessive growth of disordered roots can cause the medium soil to become loose, causing the medium to fall out and further affecting the growth of ginger's root system.
[0005] In view of the above, in order to overcome the above technical problems, the utility model designs a cultivation equipment that combines ginger air fog cultivation and substrate cultivation, solving the above technical problems. SUMMARY

[0034] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the application belongs.In the specification of the utility model herein, the terms used are only for the purpose of describing the specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the application.The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items
[0035] As shown in Figure 1 In the embodiment, the utility model provides a kind of cultivation equipment of ginger aeroponics and substrate cultivation combination, including box 1, box 1 is made of multiple partitions, and box 1 is divided into upper planting area 2, lower liquid supply area 3, planting plate 4 is equipped between planting area 2 and liquid supply area 3, planting plate 4 upper is provided with planting part 5, planting part 5 is used to plant ginger, and atomization component 6 is provided below planting plate 4, atomization component 6 is used to spray atomized nutrient solution to liquid supply area 3;
[0036] The planting plate 4 fixes the ginger root system through the through holes formed on the planting plate 4, and ensures that the nutrient solution in the liquid supply area 3 can act on the ginger root system.
[0037] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the planting plate 4 is provided with planting holes 411 and exchange holes 421, the diameter of each planting hole 411 is 1mm, and the diameter of each exchange hole 421 is 3mm. A plurality of planting holes 411 are gathered to form a planting position 41, and a plurality of exchange holes 421 surround the planting position 41 and form an exchange position 42; the planting position 41 is used for fixing the cultivated ginger, and the exchange position 42 is used for providing a growth channel for the ginger root system.
[0038] In the embodiment, the planting plate 4 is a rigid net, and the 1mm planting holes 411 and the 3mm exchange holes 421 are alternately arranged on the rigid net. The alternately arranged planting holes 411 and exchange holes 421 can provide a good ventilation environment for the plant root system, and can also guide the growth of the root system. The smaller 1mm planting holes 411 can ensure that the root system is limited to a certain extent from growing out of the net in disorder, so that the root system branches increase and more lateral roots are formed. The 3mm exchange holes 421 provide space for the elongation and growth of the branched root system, which is helpful to form a developed root system.
[0039] The exchange holes 421 of the rigid net also help to discharge the excess nutrient solution, so as to avoid the lack of oxygen or root rot of the ginger, and meanwhile, the planting holes 411 do not cause the water to flow out too fast, so that a certain amount of water is retained around the root system, and a stable humidity environment is provided for the ginger. The planting medium is coconut husk, and the planting medium can be well fixed through the through holes of the rigid net.
[0040] As shown in Figure 2 , the atomization assembly 6 includes a liquid supply pipeline 61 and an atomization nozzle 62, one end of the liquid supply pipeline 61 is connected to an external nutrient solution supply device, the other end of the liquid supply pipeline 61 extends into the box 1, and a plurality of atomization nozzles 62 are installed on the liquid supply pipeline 61 at equal intervals, and the interval of the atomization nozzles 62 is 0.4m. The atomization nozzle 62 is used for spraying atomized nutrient solution to the upper side of the liquid supply area 3.
[0041] As shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 , four nozzles 621 are arranged around the upper end of the atomization nozzle 62, the spraying direction of each nozzle 621 is 0° with respect to the vertically upward direction, so that the nozzles 621 directly spray the lower end of the planting plate 4, and the atomization nozzle 62 sprays the nutrient solution to the root of each ginger and the substrate, so that the ginger obtains sufficient nutrients.
[0042] In the embodiment, in the actual cultivation process, according to the growth characteristics of the ginger, the design of the planting holes 411 and the exchange holes 421 with different diameters can make the root system of the ginger freely pass through to the lower liquid supply area 3 to absorb nutrients.
[0043] When planting, ginger is placed on the planting plate 4, and a layer of 6-8 cm thick substrate is covered on the planting plate 4. When the main stem of the ginger grows to about 30-40 cm high, the three-branching period begins, and the thickness of the substrate is gradually increased to ensure that the expanding ginger blocks are not exposed to light and maintain normal growth of the ginger.
[0044] It is worth noting that the maximum particle size of the substrate particles used should be greater than 3 mm to ensure that the substrate does not fall into the lower liquid supply area 3. After multiple uses, the substrate needs to be cleaned from the upper planting area, at which time some of the substrate will fall from the planting net onto the partition plate. The planting net needs to be removed when cleaning the substrate.
[0045] Some of the atomized water droplets sprayed by the atomizing nozzle 62 can bounce irregularly through the inner wall of the box 1 and the bottom end of the planting plate 4, so that the lower liquid supply area 3 is filled with atomized water droplets formed by nutrient solution, ensuring sufficient and uniform nutrient supply for the ginger roots.
[0046] In this embodiment, the length of the device is adjusted according to the specific use, which can adapt to various planting sites. The present application can be directly placed on the ground for separate use, or placed on the planting "A" type cultivation frame to connect into a system for three-dimensional cultivation, meeting the requirements of factory farming. If the device of the present application is placed on a special "A" type three-dimensional cultivation frame with a height of 2.1 m and a bottom width of 2.2 m, five ginger aeroponics devices can be placed on one cultivation frame, and the land use rate can reach 120%. The land use rate of ordinary three-dimensional cultivation is between 90% and 100%, and the land use rate is increased by 20% to 36%.
[0047] In this embodiment, ginger growth requires sufficient light, but cannot accept direct sunlight. In summer, shading net is used for shading, and the shading rate of the shading net is controlled at 30%-50%. In winter or in case of insufficient light, plant light supplement lamp is used for supplementing light, and the light exposure time is maintained at 10-12 hours per day. The suitable temperature for ginger growth is 25-30℃. When the environmental temperature exceeds 35℃, the temperature is reduced by strengthening ventilation (such as installing exhaust fans) or using water curtain cooling system. When the temperature is lower than 15℃, insulation measures need to be taken, such as covering insulation materials (such as thermal insulation quilt) around the aeroponics device or using heating equipment (such as electric heater). The aeroponics device will make the environmental humidity relatively high, but too high humidity can easily cause diseases. The environmental humidity is controlled at about 70%-80%, and the humidity is adjusted by appropriate ventilation. Ventilation can also improve the air quality in the planting environment, which is beneficial to the respiration of ginger.
[0048] In this embodiment, regular monitoring and replenishment of the nutrient solution is important. The nutrient solution should be tested once a week, including the concentration of major nutrients and pH value. According to the test results, replenish the consumed nutrients in time. If the concentration of potassium nitrate decreases, replenish it according to the formula proportion to ensure the nutritional balance of the nutrient solution. Replace the nutrient solution every 2-3 weeks to prevent the accumulation of harmful substances such as root exudates and pathogens in the nutrient solution.
[0049] When replacing the nutrient solution, first drain the old nutrient solution, then rinse the planting tank and the atomization assembly 6 with clean water, and then add the newly prepared nutrient solution. In terms of plant adjustment, timely pruning and leaf cleaning should be performed. When the ginger plants grow to 30-40 cm high, pruning is performed to remove the growth point at the top of the plant, inhibit the apical dominance of the plant, and promote the growth of lateral branches, thereby increasing the yield of ginger. Regularly check the plants and remove the withered and weak leaves in time to maintain good ventilation and light transmission among the plants. This helps to reduce the spread of diseases and improve the photosynthesis efficiency of the plants. In terms of disease and pest control, good disease control and pest control of ginger should be done.
[0050] Ginger wilt is a common disease of ginger and should be prevented. An appropriate amount of fungicide (such as carbendazim or chlorothalonil) can be added to the nutrient solution for prevention. Once diseased plants are found, they should be isolated immediately to prevent the spread of the disease. At the same time, the nutrient solution pool, the spraying device and the planting tank should be disinfected. Ginger may be damaged by pests such as aphids and thrips. A pest-proof net can be set up around the planting area to prevent pests from entering. If pests are found, biological control methods such as releasing seven-star ladybugs to control the number of aphids, or physical control methods such as yellow plate trapping aphids and thrips can be used.
