Seedling raising substrate for bitter gourds

Abstract

The invention provides a seedling raising substrate for a bitter gourd. The seedling raising substrate is composed of the following materials in parts by weight: 45 to 55 parts of waste mushroom-sticks, 60 to 80 parts of sandy soil, 40 to 60 parts of vermiculite, 30 to 50 parts of perlite and 10 to 12 parts of an acrylamide-acrylate cross-linked copolymer. According to a scheme of the invention, the seedling raising substrate has the following advantages: combination is reasonable; the materials are environmentally friendly; addition of the waste mushroom-sticks realizes reutilization of domestic wastes, so wastes are turned into treasures; meanwhile, abundant nutrient elements can be provided for the growth of bitter gourd seedlings; the germination rate of the bitter gourd is improved by25%; the sandy soil can increase air permeability of the substrate, and can change looseness and water absorptivity of soil; the perlite can prevent the soil from hardening, and facilitates the growth of a plant; and addition of the acrylamide-acrylate cross-linked copolymer can maintain the water absorption rate and speed of the substrate in two years, so moisture of the substrate is guaranteed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of fruit and vegetable planting, in particular to a bitter gourd seedling raising substrate. Background technique [0002] Bitter gourd is a common vegetable, an annual climbing weak herb with many branches; stems and branches are pubescent. Tendrils slender, not branched. The petiole is slender; the leaves are membranous, green above, light green on the back, and veins palmate. Monoecious. The pedicel of the male flower is slender and puberulent; the bracts are green and slightly ciliate; the calyx lobes are ovate-lanceolate and white pilose; the corolla is yellow, and the lobes are pilose; stamens are free. Female flowers solitary, pedicel puberulent; ovary fusiform, stigma enlarged. The fruit is spindle-shaped or cylindrical, polytuberous and wrinkled, orange-yellow when ripe. Seeds oblong, with engravings on both sides. The flowering and fruiting period is from May to October. Most of the existing...

Problems solved by technology

Most of the existing cultivation substrates are organic-inorganic composite substrates, or composite substrates with complex formulas and non-renewable resources as the main components, such as peat, which are expensive to use

The mining and processing of non-renewable resources has caused great damage and pollution to the environment. The cost of using peat is high. Excessive mining will inevitably cause resource depletion and destroy the ecological balance.
