How to properly use a deep ploughing soil conditioner
The no-deep ploughing soil conditioner is a biochemical preparation that can break soil compaction, loosen soil, increase soil permeability, promote soil microbial activity, and enhance soil fertility and water infiltration. It is jointly developed and produced by Chengdu Chaoyang Biochemical Co., Ltd. and the US company STARFOUR. Suitable for improving various types of soil and saline land. Because he looses the soil depth to 80 to 120 cm below the surface, he can really avoid deep ploughing, eliminating the high cost of artificial ploughing and mechanical tillage of the land, and at the same time increasing the fertilizer utilization rate by more than 50%, saving water and fertilizer, and environmental protection With high efficiency, it has been welcomed by the majority of farmers and has been rapidly promoted throughout the country. However, during the specific application process, most farmers do not understand the principle of loosing the soil from the deep ploughing of soil conditioners, and the manufacturer does not specify the outer packaging of their products. Therefore, the concentration and frequency of spraying on different soil types are often grasped. Inaccurate, causing serious waste of pharmaceuticals, increasing production costs. In order to avoid this kind of situation from continuing to occur, it is necessary to elaborate in detail from the point of view of science, his principle of loose soil, and the problems that should be paid attention to in the application. Different types of soils contain a certain amount of colloidal material, with a strong negative charge, attracting positively charged hydrogen ions in the soil and water, so as to retain water and prevent moisture from penetrating deeper into the soil. Long-term erosion deposits, combined with the large-scale use of chemical fertilizers over the years, lead to increased nitrate concentrations in the soil, resulting in varying degrees of hardening of the soil. The biological active material contained in the deep ploughing soil conditioner is a multivalent anionic active agent, which activates his active ingredients through water and vertically acts on the soil, frees the chloride ions adsorbed by the soil, and increases soil cation exchange capacity. The soil will form more pores, improve the structure of the soil pellets, enhance the permeability of the soil and the penetration of fertilizer and water, so as to achieve the purpose of loosening the soil. In the work of guiding farmers to produce in the countryside, the author used three-year-old vineyards and protected vegetable greenhouses to select different soil types and conducted comparative experiments with different concentrations and spray times. The data show that wherever no plough-less soil conditioners are used, the gaps in the soil aggregates are significantly increased, the soil is loose, the air permeability is good, the fertilizer and water infiltration are strong, and the plant root systems are developed, especially the soil surface saltation phenomenon in the greenhouse for many years. Greatly reduced, there is no need to use a large number of farmhouse fertilizers to reduce alkali and salt, but crop production has increased substantially, and the quality of agricultural products has also improved significantly. Based on the above test results, the author suggests: For black soil, sandy loam soil and all kinds of no-tillage, less-tillage land, should be selected each year in the spring, summer and autumn seasons, with 200g per 667m2 no-deep ploughing soil conditioner spray 100kg water surface 1 ～2 times; yellow soil, red soil, brown soil and other soils with high viscosity, hard soil, severe compaction, uneven distribution of water and fertilizer, and lighter tillage layer should be selected every year in spring, summer and autumn, with 300 per 667m2 ~ 400g water spray 100kg surface 2 times. The use of the above standard is a soil improvement process, and the amount and frequency of application are reduced year by year until it is not applied. It is important to point out that it is imperative to use the soil conditioner without deep ploughing because the water is his active carrier and it cannot be activated without water. After spraying, the soil should also be kept moist, so that its active ingredients are often in an active state, speeding up the loosening of the soil. Of course, if the drought is dry, there is no need to worry about pharmaceutical failure because it is a biochemical preparation. Once water is in the soil, it can be activated and begin to loosen the compacted soil.
