Rice seed sterilization method and device

Abstract

The invention provides a rice seed sterilization method. The method includes the step that rice seeds are preheated in 42 DEG C warm water, then soaked in 60 DEG C hot water and cooled. The invention further provides a rice seed sterilization device. According to the method, the rice seeds are preheated in the 42 DEG C warm water, then soaked in the 60 DEG C hot water to be sterilized and finally cooled, no chemical agent is used in the whole sterilization process, and a technical support is provided for organic rice cultivation. Besides, by means of the sterilization method, most germs in rice seed-borne diseases can be effectively killed without influencing the germination rate of the rice seeds or causing pollution to the environment.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of seed treatment, in particular to a rice seed sterilization method and device. Background technique [0002] Rice seeds are often infected and carried various pathogenic bacteria during the growth period and harvest period, such as bakanae disease, rice blast, bacterial streak disease, rice false smut and other fungal diseases. Seed fungus is the initial source of infection for many rice diseases. Field surveys show that rice seeds carry pathogens on the surface and inside, and the fungus-carrying seeds often infect seedlings and rice plants, resulting in disease occurrence. Therefore, it is necessary to sterilize the seeds before sowing, which can significantly reduce the occurrence of diseases, promote fast germination, neat growth and robust growth of seeds, and reduce the occurrence of field diseases.

Problems solved by technology

[0003] The traditional method of disinfection and sterilization of rice seeds mainly uses medicament soaking, but the medicament of soaking seeds is often single, which can only kill one major rice seed-borne disease, and the benefit is low, the effect is poor, and it is easy to cause low seed germination rate; at the same time, it is easy to cause environmental pollution. pollution

Moreover, the ongoing organic rice cultivation cannot use pesticides, which restricts the development of production.

The special seed disinfection device currently used in production generally has a high cost of sterilization, and the machine structure is complicated, which is not easy to popularize.
