Description

Plant matrix with long water retention time and good mechanical property and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of plant cultivation, in particular to a plant matrix with long water retention time and good mechanical property and a preparation method thereof.
Background
With the increasing level of town, the area of cultivated land is reduced and the field of vertical greening is continuously rising. At present, the gardening matrix is mainly a loose matrix and is difficult to apply to vertical greening, and on the other hand, the loose matrix is easy to wash by rain to cause the loss of the matrix, thereby affecting the growth and development of plants.
Solidifying the loose matrix by a certain technical means to prepare the matrix raw material. Compared with the traditional loose culture medium, the medium raw material has certain rain wash resistance, is nontoxic and harmless, can meet the growth requirement of plants, and can also meet the requirement of the vertical greening field on the medium.
When the matrix raw material is prepared by the prior art, three means are generally adopted for curing the matrix, namely heating curing, compression curing and glue bonding curing. The heat curing technology generally adds a certain amount of hot-melt fibers into a matrix, wherein the hot-melt fibers are a substance formed by semi-melt polyester fibers according to a sheath-core structure, and a three-dimensional network structure is formed in the matrix in the melting process. The preparation requires heating the matrix material to melt the hot melt fibers therein, and then press-molding the matrix using a pressing apparatus. Compression curing is achieved by physically compressing the matrix raw material to obtain a shaped matrix block. And the glue is adhered and solidified by uniformly gluing the periphery of the matrix block, so as to achieve the molding effect.
In summary, the matrix curing technology in the prior art mainly adopts three schemes, namely, 1. Adding hot-melt fibers into a matrix material, and then heating the material added with the hot-melt fibers to obtain a cured matrix block. In this case, the equipment expenditure is high, and the energy consumption is also high because of the heating required, as in CN105367216B, CN 105297178B. 2. The matrix material is compressed to compact the matrix material, so that the solidification effect is achieved. In this case, the compression equipment needs to have higher precision expenditure, and in addition, the effect after compression has larger difference due to different matrix raw materials, so that the overall curing effect is poor. 3. The plastic effect, such as CN112335489A, is realized by uniformly gluing the periphery of the matrix block and utilizing the adhesive property of the glue. However, glues are generally phytotoxic and can only be cured easily from the outer layer, making it difficult to achieve an overall uniform curing effect of the matrix block.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to overcome the defects of the prior art and provides a plant matrix with long water retention time and good mechanical property and a preparation method thereof, so as to solve the problems.
The aim of the invention is realized by the following technical scheme:
A preparation method of a plant matrix with long water retention time and good mechanical property comprises the following steps,
S1, adding mixed liquor and matrix raw materials into a mould, wherein the matrix raw materials consist of peat, perlite and vermiculite, the volume of the mixed liquor is 0.7-1.2, and the mixed liquor consists of a first curing material and a second curing material;
S2, performing freeze thawing cycle on the mixed solution and the matrix raw material in the mold at least twice to obtain the plant matrix, wherein the freezing temperature is-30 ℃ to-4 ℃, the duration time is 14-16 h, the melting temperature is 10-40 ℃, and the duration time is 7-9 h.
The concentration of the first curing material is 0.25% -2%, and the concentration of the second curing material is 0.5% -3%.
The first solidifying material is one or more of agarose, sodium alginate, carrageenan, chitosan, pectin and gelatin.
The second curing material is one or more of polyvinyl alcohol, polyethylene glycol, polyacrylic acid, polyvinylpyrrolidone and sodium alginate.
The weight ratio of peat to perlite to vermiculite in the matrix raw material is 8:4:1.
The method further comprises a step S0, wherein the step S0 is to add the first curing material and the second curing material into deionized water, and mix the materials uniformly at 95 ℃ to obtain a mixed solution.
A plant matrix with long water retention time and good mechanical property is prepared by a preparation method of the plant matrix with long water retention time and good mechanical property.
The invention has the beneficial effects that the technology is a technology for curing the common loose matrix raw material by utilizing the first curing material and the second curing material so as to obtain the cured soilless culture matrix. The principle of formation of the first and second cured materials by freeze-thaw cycles is primarily dependent on the molecular structure and crystallization ability of the second cured material. During the freeze-thawing process, the second solidified material solution freezes at low temperatures forming tiny ice crystals that melt upon thawing, causing the second solidified material molecules to rearrange and form crystalline regions. With the increase of the freeze thawing cycle times, the hydrogen bond and crystallization area among the molecules of the second curing material are gradually increased, and finally a stable three-dimensional network structure is formed, so that the matrix block has good mechanical strength and elasticity. The addition of the first curable material may further improve the physical properties and biocompatibility of the matrix block. Under the technical support, the matrix can be easily solidified into different forms, and the overall mechanical property of the matrix can be easily regulated and controlled, so that the excellent mechanical property is ensured, and meanwhile, the better water holding air permeability is ensured, thereby being beneficial to plant growth. And the first curing material and the second curing material are materials with good biocompatibility and environmental friendliness, so that the prepared plant matrix is easy to recover and degrade and cannot cause secondary pollution.

Test results
1. Determination of mechanical Properties of plant substrates
The impact resistance of the plant matrix was tested using a pendulum impact tester, and the surface hardness of the matrix material in the dry and wet state was tested using a shore durometer, respectively, with the results shown in table 1.
TABLE 1
2. Determination of pore structure of plant substrates
The pore structure of the matrix is a space capable of containing water and air among solid particles of the matrix material, and is also a space for the activities of animal microorganisms among plant root systems and the matrix, and the reasonable pore structure is very important for the growth condition of plants.
The porosity of a matrix refers to the percentage of pore volume per volume of the total volume of the matrix. The matrix porosity was defined as matrix porosity (%) = (1-matrix raw material volume/matrix volume) ×100% and the results are shown in table 2.
TABLE 2
3. Determination of the Water-holding Property of plant substrates
The water content of the plant matrix is the gram of water content held in each hundred grams of matrix, the water retention is calculated according to the following formula, wherein the water retention is measured= (W Wet state -W Dry )/W Dry is 100 percent), 10cm is 6cm square fiber culture soil is soaked for 10 minutes to fully absorb water, the plant matrix is spread to dryness and weighed, then the plant matrix is baked to constant weight in an oven at 65 ℃, and the plant matrix is moved into a dryer to be cooled to room temperature, and is weighed, and the result is shown in a table 3.
TABLE 3 Table 3
4. Observation of plant substrate stability
After harvesting the lettuce, observing whether the matrix block collapses, the volume is shrunken, the appearance changes such as cracking and the like. Collapse, volume shrinkage to less than 95% before cultivation, cracking, and cracking were recorded as 1 score, cracking was recorded as 2 scores for two of the three cases, cracking was recorded as 3 scores for three of the three cases, and cracking was recorded as 0 score if the three cases were not present, and substrate blocks were not cured and molded, and the results are shown in table 4.
TABLE 4 Table 4
5. Plant growth observation
Lettuce was sown in each run and observed for growth for 4 weeks (28 days total). The planted lettuce has strong plants, thick leaves, normal leaf color, strong root system, well developed capillary root and poor growth condition. In addition, after the lettuce grows for four weeks, the fresh weight and the dry weight of the single lettuce plant are recorded, and the more the fresh weight and the dry weight of the lettuce plant with good growth vigor are, the more excellent the lettuce cultivation effect of the substrate is considered.
TABLE 5
From the comparison of tables 1-5 above, it was found that the polyvinyl alcohol and agarose contents had a significant effect on the mechanical properties, pore structure, water holding capacity, stability and plant growth conditions of the matrix materials. And the number of freeze-thaw cycles can also affect the effect of the final matrix material.
Of examples 1-4, example 1 was 1.780 kj/square meter, the highest in terms of impact resistance. This indicates that the matrix has the strongest resistance when impacted by external forces and is suitable for use in environments where high strength protection is required. Example 2 was 1.395 kj/square meter, next highest. The impact resistance was higher but slightly lower than in example 1. Example 3, 1.195 kj/square meter, medium. The shock resistance is moderate, and the anti-shock agent is suitable for being used in general environments. Whereas example 4 was 1.002 kj/square meter, the lowest. The method is also suitable for being used in a general environment. The wet and dry matrix surface hardness tendencies are consistent with impact resistance, with example 1 being highest, example 2 times highest, example 3 medium, example 4 lowest. In combination with plant growth, example 1 is too hard, affecting plant root growth and expansion, and also limiting root respiration and moisture uptake. While examples 2-4, which are more suitable in hardness, are beneficial to the growth of plant root systems and the respiration and moisture absorption of the root systems. Also, the plants grew significantly worse in example 1 than in examples 2-4.
In examples 1-4, matrix porosity plays a critical role in the plant growth process, as it directly affects the air permeability and water retention of the matrix, thereby affecting respiration and moisture uptake of the plant root system. The lower porosity of example 1 means that the air permeability of the matrix is poor, which may limit the oxygen supply to the root system and affect the respiration of the root system. And example 1 also has relatively low water holding capacity (376%) combined with low porosity, the mobility of the moisture in the matrix may be poor, resulting in difficulty in obtaining sufficient moisture for the root system.
The lettuce growth was therefore poor, with both fresh and dry weights being minimal, indicating that low porosity and water retention are detrimental to lettuce growth.
In comparison, the porosity and water retention of the examples 2-4 are higher, the air permeability is better, the oxygen supply of the root system is facilitated, and the respiration of the root system is promoted. Sufficient moisture can also be provided, which is beneficial to the plants to keep the moisture under drought conditions.
By comparing the porosity of the matrix of the four examples and their effect on lettuce growth, it can be seen that the matrix of example 4 has the highest porosity, and the best water holding capacity and air permeability, which is most beneficial to lettuce growth. Example 1 had the lowest porosity, poor water retention and air permeability, resulting in the worst lettuce growth. Both the porosity and the water holding capacity of example 2 and example 3 are moderate, which is favorable for lettuce growth, but slightly inferior to example 4.
By comparing the matrix stability, impact resistance and surface hardness of examples 1-4, it can be seen that example 4 performed the worst in matrix stability because of its lower impact resistance and surface hardness, resulting in collapse of the matrix blocks after cultivation. However, these properties do not negatively affect lettuce growth, but rather provide a more suitable growth environment due to higher water holding capacity and porosity, but may undergo structural changes during use due to poor matrix stability, affecting long term use. In comparison, examples 2 and 3 are excellent in substrate stability, no significant change and damage of the external structure occurs in the plant growth cycle, and lettuce grows well as well, and examples 2 and 3 are probably superior to example 4 if used for plant cultivation in the growth cycle.
By comparing the four examples 1-4 laterally, example 4 performs best on multiple key performance indicators if the plant is cultivated non-vertically for a short period of time, and can provide an optimal growing environment for lettuce. But is only applicable to short-term and general-scene cultivation because of poor substrate stability due to its low impact resistance and surface hardness.
However, it can be found from examples 5, 6 and 8 that the soilless culture substrate blocks for plant cultivation can be produced without simply curing them, and that too high concentration of polyvinyl alcohol and agarose can result in too hard substrate blocks and difficulty in normal growth of plants. The mechanical properties of the whole of example 5, example 6 and example 8 are very excellent, and the solidification of the matrix material can be completely realized, but the whole matrix is too hard to be used for plant cultivation. In addition, in the cultivation process of example 6 and example 8, the situation that the plants cannot be rooted into the matrix blocks after seedling transplanting due to the too high surface hardness occurs, and the lettuce cannot be planted, but in the cultivation process of example 5, although the lettuce can grow by rooting, the root system is difficult to grow, so that insufficient water, nutrient and air are obtained, and the lettuce growth condition is extremely poor. In contrast to example 7, the immobilization of the matrix block was not achieved after three freeze-thaw cycles, since the polyvinyl alcohol and agarose in the mixture were too low. Therefore, the proper proportion of polyvinyl alcohol and agarose can obviously influence the mechanical property, pore structure, water holding capacity and stability of the matrix block, thereby influencing the growth of plants.
Comparing example 3 with example 9, example 2 and example 10 can find that the better the matrix material effect is as the number of freeze-thaw cycles increases, the less well the matrix mass can be set after two freeze-thaw cycles as in example 9, and the curing effect cannot be achieved. And example 3 with the same proportion has excellent mechanical property after three freeze thawing cycles, and the lettuce cultivation effect is also good. However, by comparing example 2 with example 10, no significant difference in properties was found, which can be explained by the fact that the hydrogels were able to achieve excellent crosslinking after three freeze-thawing cycles and thus had less change after the fourth freeze-thawing cycle. And (3) taking the energy consumption cost of the time cost grade freeze thawing cycle into consideration, wherein the freeze thawing cycle is completed for 3 times.
In the comprehensive view, the embodiment 2 and the embodiment 3 are balanced in various performance indexes, are favorable for growth of lettuce, have excellent stability and can be suitable for cultivation in multiple scenes and long periods.
