Description

Straw organic fertilizer and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of ecological cycle agriculture, in particular to a straw organic fertilizer and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Straw is a generic term for the stem and leaf (ear) part of a mature crop, usually the remainder of wheat, rice, corn, potatoes, oilseed rape, cotton, sugar cane and other crops (usually coarse grain) after harvesting the seed. As more than half of the products of crop photosynthesis exist in the straws, the straws are rich in organic matters, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and medium and trace elements, are precious renewable biomass resources and are used as important sources for producing organic fertilizers in agriculture. The annual average yield of the straws is 10 hundred million tons, and the annual storage amount is up to 9 hundred million tons, so that the reasonable development and utilization of the straw resources have important significance for promoting the development of ecological cycle agriculture.
The method for producing the organic fertilizer by using the straws as the compost raw materials is one of important ways for developing and utilizing the straws. Straw compost is a process for mineralizing and humifying organic matters such as crop straws and the like by utilizing a series of microorganisms (such as 301 microbial agents, procymidone, chemical ripening agents, HEM microbial agents, ferment bacteria and the like). The mineralization process is mainly used in the initial stage of composting, and the humification process is mainly used in the later stage. The composting can narrow the carbon-nitrogen ratio of the organic substances, release nutrients in the organic substances and reduce the spread of germs, worm eggs and weed seeds in the composting materials. However, the traditional straw composting technology has the defects of low fermentation temperature, serious nutrient loss, odor diffusion and the like at a high-temperature stage, so that the problems of long time of a decomposition process, incomplete sterilization of base materials, low content of effective components of products and the like are caused, and the product quality of the straw organic fertilizer is further influenced.
In view of the above, the present invention is particularly proposed.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a straw organic fertilizer and a preparation method thereof, wherein the composite microecological preparation in the preparation method can quickly self-heat a stack to above 70 ℃, can completely kill germs, worm eggs, grass seeds and the like in a continuous high-temperature and high-humidity environment, is beneficial to full decomposition of straws, can effectively reduce the discharge amount of nitrous oxide and ammonia gas in the composting process, and improves the quality of fertilizer products.
The invention provides a preparation method of a straw organic fertilizer, which comprises the following steps: mixing the kneaded and crushed straws with a composite microecological preparation, regulating and controlling the water activity and the bulk density of the mixture, then covering a semipermeable membrane on a stack body formed by the straws to form a relatively sealed environment with controllable maximum vapor permeation, and carrying out primary fermentation, wherein the temperature of the high-temperature stage of the primary fermentation is 80-86 ℃; the relatively sealed environment is provided with a gas circulation device which enables gas in the relatively sealed environment to circularly flow in the first fermentation process; and (3) finishing the first fermentation after the water activity of the compost is reduced to be below 0.80, removing the semipermeable membrane, crushing and screening the product after the first fermentation, simultaneously uniformly spraying a bent bacillus microbial inoculum to the undersize, building a stacking covering membrane for the second fermentation for 5-12 days, finishing the second fermentation after the water activity of the compost is reduced to be below 0.75, removing the semipermeable membrane, and preparing the straw organic fertilizer.
The preparation method utilizes the directional selective ventilation and partial gas internal circulation mechanism to enable gas in the film to escape directionally and appropriately, further fully exerts the stage action of different flora in the composite microecological preparation, enables the temperature of the pile to be increased to more than 80 ℃ rapidly during straw fermentation, creates a physical environment which is suitable for thermophilic bacteria fermentation and has controllable pile temperature, pile oxygen concentration and pile water activity range, can completely kill germs, ova, grass seeds and the like in a lasting and uniform high-temperature high-humidity environment, accelerates straw decomposition, can also effectively reduce the discharge amount of nitrous oxide and ammonia gas in the composting process, improves the content of nitrogen and potassium in the fertilizer, and realizes the rapid harmless treatment and resource utilization of the straw.
In the invention, the composite microecological preparation (also called as composite flora) comprises a first microbial agent, a second microbial agent and a third microbial agent, wherein the first microbial agent comprises myceliophthora thermophila and streptomyces thermophilus, the second microbial agent comprises thermus thermophilus, geobacillus stearothermophilus and halothermus marinus, and the third microbial agent comprises pseudomonad defense, geotrichum candidum and bacillus licheniformis, wherein the preservation number of the pseudomonad defense is CGMCC NO.18750, and the preservation number of the bacillus licheniformis is CGMCC NO.8821.
In the composite microecological preparation, the first microbial agent is a mesophilic flora (45-60 ℃), which comprises myceliophthora thermophila and streptomyces thermophilus, the optimal growth temperature is 50-55 ℃, the flora can rapidly grow and reproduce in a mesophilic system by taking straws as energy sources to generate heat, the temperature of the system is rapidly raised to 70 ℃, a high-temperature decomposition stage is rapidly reached, and a composting process is promoted.
The second microbial inoculum is a high-temperature flora (70-85 ℃), comprises thermophilic thermus thermophilus, geobacillus stearothermophilus and rhodothermus rhodochrous, belongs to extreme thermophilic bacteria, can rapidly grow and reproduce in a compost system, and rapidly and efficiently converts organic matter components in the straws into organic matter beneficial to crop absorption. The extreme thermophilic bacteria have strong adaptability, can grow vigorously in a high-temperature aerobic composting environment at the temperature of 70-85 ℃, generate a compound enzyme system with good thermal stability, and the metabolic activity of the compound enzyme system is not limited by the composting temperature not exceeding 80 ℃, so that the composting and planting process can be accelerated, and the resource conversion efficiency of straws can be improved. In the composting process, the high-temperature stage has larger proportion, so that the decomposition speed can be accelerated, the period is shortened, and the time cost is saved. Therefore, when the composite microecologics are used for preparing the straw organic fertilizer, the preparation process is fast and efficient, and the prepared straw organic fertilizer has the advantages of high fertility, high safety, low cost and the like.
In addition, the geobacillus stearothermophilus and the rhodothermus marinus can also promote the degradation of mulching films on the surfaces of the straws, and particularly can effectively degrade bio-based biodegradable plastics and petrochemical-based biodegradable plastics. The mulching films are usually wound on the surfaces of the straws, such as potato straws, ginger straws and the like, but the traditional mulching films are extremely difficult to degrade, and even the adopted biodegradable plastics can be efficiently degraded under controllable environmental conditions of temperature, moisture, microorganisms and the like. If the mulching film is removed before composting, the investment cost is greatly increased, and the straw composting utilization is limited; if the mulching film is not removed for direct composting, the synergistic effect of thermal oxidation and microorganisms is needed, which is mainly because the straws wrapped inside the mulching film cannot be effectively decomposed, so that the resource conversion rate of the straws is reduced, and the decomposition effect is obviously influenced.
The third microbial inoculum is low-temperature flora (4-35 ℃), and the temperature section of the third microbial inoculum playing a role in the system is 4-35 ℃; in this case, the complex bacterial flora mainly includes medium temperature (45-60 deg.C) bacterial flora, high temperature (70-85 deg.C) bacterial flora and low temperature (4-35 deg.C) bacterial flora. The propagation speed of the pseudomonad defense bacteria in the low-temperature flora at 4 ℃ is high, the metabolic propagation can be rapidly carried out by taking organic matters in the system as energy sources at the early stage of the low-temperature stage, the activity of the flora is improved, the activity of geotrichum candidum and bacillus licheniformis in the system is driven, and the temperature rise process is accelerated. The pseudomonad defense bacteria in the low-temperature flora can effectively inhibit the growth of escherichia coli, staphylococcus aureus, candida albicans, dysentery bacillus and fecal enterobacter, and also has excellent biocontrol effects on potato soft rot, late blight, bacterial wilt, root rot, black shank and the like. In addition, the pseudomonas, geotrichum candidum and bacillus licheniformis in the low-temperature flora have stronger endoglucanase activity, filter paper enzyme activity, exonuclease activity and beta-glucosidase activity, show good degradation capability on cellulose and hemicellulose in the straw, can damage a firmer structure on the surface of the straw, and are favorable for straw decomposition.
When the system enters the medium-temperature stage, the low-temperature flora gradually does not play a role, the medium-temperature flora starts to play a role and is stably linked with the low-temperature flora, and adverse conditions such as interruption of a composting process, composting failure, poor quality of organic fertilizer products and the like cannot be caused. According to the invention, a third microbial inoculum can be added according to actual conditions, and if the initial temperature of the composting system is already in a medium-temperature stage, the low-temperature flora can not be added at the moment.
In the composite microecological preparation of the invention, the total effective viable count of the composite microecological preparation contained in the stockpile per g of dry weight is 1.0 multiplied by 10 6 -3.0×10 6 cfu; in addition, the ratio of the effective viable count among the first microbial inoculum, the second microbial inoculum and the third microbial inoculum can be 1: (0.8-1.2): (0.8-1.2), preferably 1:1:1. experiments show that when the adding proportion of each microbial inoculum is controlled in the range, the composting effect is good, and the quality of organic fertilizer products is good.
The composite microecological preparation is composed of multi-temperature-section fermentation floras, the growth temperature of each temperature-section floras can be well connected front and back, the stable connection of each stage is realized in the self-heating temperature rise process, and the compost temperature can be quickly raised to more than 70 ℃ within 12-24 hours, so that the composite microecological preparation is not limited by seasons and regions; meanwhile, the complex flora can generate enough heat to resist the influence of the external environment, such as winter and north with lower external environment temperature, so as to maintain the stability and the high efficiency of the composting system.
According to the preparation method, by means of the stage action of different floras in the composite floras, the temperature of the pile can be rapidly and automatically raised to 70 ℃ and then raised to the high temperature of 80-86 ℃, so that the conditions of 'temperature, oxygen and water' suitable for the growth of the high-temperature floras are created, the high-temperature and high-humidity fermentation process is maintained, the straw is completely decomposed, germs, insect eggs, grass seeds and the like are completely killed, and the safety of the product is further guaranteed. In addition, the preparation method can effectively reduce the discharge amount of nitrous oxide and ammonia gas in the composting process under the high-temperature environmental condition, especially the discharge amount of nitrous oxide, is favorable for environmental protection, and can improve the nitrogen content in the compost fertilizer.
The invention does not strictly limit the straw raw material, for example, potato straw can be selected. The potato straw has the characteristics of rich yield, high nutrient content, high water content and the like, for example, the potassium content is 4.0-5.37%, and the potato straw is a high-quality raw material for preparing organic fertilizer; meanwhile, the potato straw has short storage life, so that high-temperature aerobic composting is a better choice to be carried out on site and nearby, and is suitable for the preparation method of the straw organic fertilizer. The average carbon nitrogen of the potato straws is better except that the potassium content is higher, for example, 25.6, while the carbon nitrogen ratio of the composting raw material is better to be 25-35, so that other raw materials do not need to be added for optimizing the carbon nitrogen ratio. Therefore, the potato straws are very suitable for compost fermentation, the content of potassium in the organic fertilizer can be effectively increased, the potato straws can be converted into utilizable resources, and the development of ecological cycle agriculture is promoted. In other embodiments, the straw can also be ginger straw, yam straw, sweet potato straw or a mixture of multiple straws. In addition, in other embodiments, straw, manure, and the like may also be mixed as raw materials for high-temperature composting.
In the invention, the length of the kneaded and crushed straw can be controlled to be 10-50mm; meanwhile, the water activity can be controlled to be 0.85-0.95, and the bulk density is not lower than 350kg/m 3 (ii) a On one hand, the crushed straws can be mixed with the composite flora more uniformly, so that complete decomposition of the straws is facilitated; on the other hand, when the straws are kneaded and crushed, the surface structure of the straws is damaged, namely the lignin or cellulose structure is damaged, easily degradable substances are exposed outside the straw structure, meanwhile, partial plant cells are broken, and the easily degradable substances in the cells flow out, so that the straw-stalk composite bacteria flora is favorably utilized preferentiallyThe organic matters which are easy to degrade are taken as substrates for metabolism, and heat is released, so that the temperature of the system is quickly increased, and the composting period is shortened. However, when the length of the straw is crushed to be less than 10mm, the cost of the crushing treatment is greatly increased, so that the cost of the organic fertilizer product is greatly increased, and therefore, the length of the straw is controlled to be 10-50mm. In the invention, the straw can be root tuber and tuber plant straw such as potato, ginger and the like; the bulk density is compacted density, and is not less than 350kg/m 3
In the straw composting process, microbes need a proper water environment, and in order to ensure that the water activity of the system is proper and facilitate the metabolism of flora in the compost, the water activity of the straws can be adjusted to 0.85-0.95 by using livestock and poultry urine. Because the activity of water is negatively influenced by too high or too low water activity, the water activity of the straw is controlled to be 0.85-0.95, the straw is a balance point for orderly regulating and controlling the discharge amount of water vapor, the fermentation period and the decomposition effect, the microbial activity of the flora can be ensured to be maximum, the composting effect is best, and the adverse conditions of composting failure or poor quality of organic fertilizer products and the like caused by the fact that the metabolic activity of the composite flora is difficult to maintain due to water deficiency are avoided. In addition, the reason for selecting the livestock and poultry urine for regulation is that the livestock and poultry urine not only contains a large amount of water, but also contains nitrogen-containing substances such as urea and the like, so that the carbon-nitrogen ratio of the straw can be properly regulated.
When the composite flora is mixed with the straw, the composite flora should be uniformly mixed as much as possible, so that the composite flora can be more widely distributed in the straw to more completely rot the straw. The total effective viable count of the composite flora in each g of dry-basis stacking material can be 1.0 × 10 6 -3.0×10 6 cfu, the number of the floras meets the requirement of complete straw decomposition, and the phenomena that the adding cost is increased due to waste caused by excessive floras or the quality of organic fertilizer products is poor caused by excessive decomposition and the like are avoided.
The semipermeable membrane covering the stack is a membrane which selectively passes through the stack according to the diameter of the particles and only allows water vapor, carbon dioxide and the like to pass through the semipermeable membrane; the semipermeable membrane is covered on the stack body, so that moisture in the system can not be seriously lost due to blowing and high-temperature intensified transpiration, high-temperature high-humidity gas can orderly and circularly flow in the system under the auxiliary action of gas circulation equipment, and the whole system is favorable for maintaining the state of high activity and strong fertility of the composite flora for a long time; on the other hand, large particulate matter is entrapped in the semipermeable membrane, such as aerosols, plant-derived volatile organic compounds (BVOCs), and the like, and these biodegradable substances are transformed and immobilized by the complex flora. When the straws are gradually consumed and water is properly discharged in a steam form, and the temperature and the humidity in the system are reduced, the semipermeable membrane can be removed to carry out secondary fermentation on the stack; the secondary fermentation can further convert and fix the non-decomposed or incompletely decomposed substances in the pile, so that the content of effective components in organic fertilizer products is increased, the application amount of the organic fertilizer to crops is reduced, and the cost is reduced.
Specifically, the semi-permeable membrane can be a waterproof breathable membrane, and can also be called a nano membrane due to the nano-scale pore diameter; in particular, the semi-permeable membrane may be arranged such that the water vapor transmission rate decreases from the middle to both sides along the cross-sectional height of the sealed environment space. The maximum water vapor transmission capacity of the semipermeable membrane can be controlled within a range of 5000-7500 g/(m) 2 24 hr) and the water vapor transmission amount decreases in gradient from the middle height to the lower parts of the two sides along the cross-sectional height of the sealed space, the position where the water vapor transmission amount is maximum is positioned at the top of the sealed environment; meanwhile, the semipermeable membrane may have a water vapor transmission amount of at least 0. The nano-membrane can be formed by parallelly splicing a plurality of microporous semipermeable membranes which are not wetted by water, and then the change of gradually decreasing air permeability is realized by splicing the semipermeable membranes with different pore sizes; in addition, the water vapor transmission amount of the nano film can be controlled to gradually change from high to low by changing the number of the air holes of the nano film through changing the number of the layers of the nano film. More specifically, the air permeability pore diameter and/or the number of the waterproof and breathable films are/is reduced in a gradient manner from the middle to two sides along the cross-sectional height of the sealed environment space.
According to the invention, the stack body is covered with the semipermeable membrane capable of controlling the water vapor transmission amount to form a relatively sealed environment, so that the water loss in the system can be effectively inhibited, the expected effect of high moisture preservation is achieved, and a metabolic environment with sufficient water is provided for the composite flora. At the moment, the relatively sealed environment is a space with an arched section formed by the ground and the semipermeable membrane; the specific shape and size of the space are not strictly limited, and for example, a semicircular space shown in fig. 2 may be used, and spaces shown in fig. 3 and 4 may also be used; in other embodiments, the cross-section of the sealed environment may be other shapes, such as rectangular, etc.
In the process of ventilating the space, the semi-permeable membrane uses the gas pressure difference at two sides of the membrane as a driving force to discharge gas substances with the particle size smaller than the aperture; meanwhile, the odorous gas can be effectively prevented from diffusing to the relatively sealed environment, so that the effects of deodorization and emission reduction are achieved, and environmental pollution is avoided. The odorous substances retained in the membrane can be decomposed into odorless and harmless substances by complex flora (such as thermophilic bacteria), and further has deodorizing effect. In addition, the mode can also avoid the phenomenon that the odor still exists after the semipermeable membrane is removed, fundamentally solves the problem of odor generated in the composting process, and achieves the effect of membrane-bacterium dual deodorization. In addition, the semipermeable membrane can effectively reduce the emission of nitrous oxide and ammonia gas generated in the composting process, responds to the emission reduction effect, and is environment-friendly. Particularly, the defense pseudomonads F1 can generate an anti-active substance with a unique biological oxygen-deprivation action mechanism, effectively inhibit the growth and reproduction of pathogenic bacteria and odor-producing bacteria, and effectively control the odor generation source in a low-temperature environment. Therefore, the preparation method has the obvious advantages of obvious membrane-bacterium dual deodorization effect, environmental friendliness and the like.
In the invention, a gas circulation device (namely, a ventilation device) is arranged in the formed sealed environment, and the ventilation device can make the air in the relatively sealed environment circularly flow to form the micelle whirling airflow. The air inlet of the ventilation equipment is preferably arranged at the bottom of the straw pile body, so that fresh air can be filled in the pile body more quickly, and the aerobic metabolism activity of the composite flora is facilitated; in addition, the air inlet can be arranged at other positions relative to the sealed environment according to actual conditions. More specifically, when ventilating to the heap body bottom, need to make the pellicle swell to the biggest semicircle, make the interior gaseous pressure in membrane reach the maximum, accomplish the comprehensive circulation of fresh make-up air between the windrow, this makes oxygen and vapor distribute in each part of heap body, guarantees that the temperature and the humidity of heap body surface and inside are unanimous, is favorable to compound fungus crowd to breed fast guaranteeing the sufficient condition of oxygen and moisture to the straw of becoming thoroughly decomposed fast.
In the invention, the oxygen content in the sealed environment can be controlled to be 144.02-299.30g/m 3 . The oxygen content directly influences the growth quality of microorganisms, so that the degradation efficiency of the straws is influenced; the oxygen content is controlled in the range, so that the degradation efficiency of the straw can be ensured. In addition, the invention can also adopt an expression method of oxygen concentration, namely when the altitude is 0-1000m, the oxygen content of the system is kept at 8-21%; when the oxygen content is lower than 8%, the life activity of the flora in the compost is limited, and the aerobic bacteria are easily replaced by the anaerobic bacteria, so that the compost is not beneficial to fermentation.
The invention uses the ventilation equipment to intermittently supplement fresh air for the relatively sealed environment, on one hand, the invention can supplement sufficient oxygen for the composite flora in the system and ensure aerobic conditions, mainly because when the oxygen content in the system is insufficient, the composite flora can not fully play a role and can be gradually replaced by anaerobic bacteria due to oxygen deficiency, however, the metabolic products of the anaerobic bacteria have no beneficial effect and are accompanied with strong odor, and even some generated substances can cause toxic action on plants and can not achieve harmless treatment effect. On the other hand, ventilation equipment can regard the fresh air of supply as the drive power that the gas flows, forms the air current in sealed environment relatively inside, can let oxygen fill in every part of straw heap body like this for the compost process does not adopt the mode of turning over the heap also can let the straw rotten curing and harmless more complete, more abundant, has saved the cost of purchasing the equipment of turning over the heap, the running cost and the human cost of operation equipment of turning over the heap simultaneously. In addition, the formed airflow can also help the steam above the stack body to circulate to the bottom and the inside of the stack body at high temperature, so that the moisture distribution in the stack body is more uniform, and the phenomena of incomplete decomposition, uneven quality of organic fertilizer products and the like caused by water shortage below the stack body are avoided.
According to the preparation method of the straw organic fertilizer, water is not additionally supplemented into the system, so that various defects existing in the water supplementing process, such as large loss of water-soluble nutrient substances, rapid reduction of the system temperature, incomplete decomposition, low organic fertilizer yield and the like, can be effectively improved, and the cost input brought by the complicated water supplementing process is saved; meanwhile, the preparation method can also fully recycle the water in the system, thereby saving water resources. Combine foretell fresh air supply to realize the extrinsic cycle of gas flow and the inner loop of the internal vapor of heap for can keep the high temperature and high humidity state for a long time in the system, realize the static fermentation of straw high temperature aerobic composting, can let the straw rotten curing and harmless comprehensive thorough under the condition of not turning over the heap, the product fertilizer is fertile high-efficient, and additional product is worth promotion by a wide margin, and the cost is lower.
In the invention, a plurality of real-time sensors can be arranged on the stack body according to actual needs. Specifically, 3-5 real-time temperature and humidity sensors and an oxygen content analyzer (oxygen content sensor) can be arranged in the stack body at equal distances in the vertical direction; the composting process in the composting system can be conveniently and timely known through the real-time feedback of the humidity, the temperature and the oxygen content. Moreover, a pressure sensor can be arranged to react the oxygen content in the system; the amount of the fresh air can be conveniently and timely controlled and supplemented through real-time feedback data of air pressure or oxygen content. In addition, considering the difference of oxygen content in the air of areas (such as plateaus) with different altitudes, the oxygen content in the whole system can be timely supplemented and adjusted by combining the conditions of real-time feedback and regional change, and the internal-external circulation of the gas in the system can be timely controlled, so that the high-temperature and high-humidity environment of a composting system is maintained, and the straw composting effect is obviously improved.
In the invention, the fermentation time of the first fermentation is not less than 20 days; the fermentation period of each temperature section of the first fermentation is as follows: the system temperature is raised to more than 70 ℃ within 12-24h, the fermentation days at more than 70 ℃ are not less than 15d, the fermentation days at more than 80 ℃ are not less than 5d, and the fermentation days at more than 70 ℃ and more than 95% of relative humidity are not less than 10d.
In the invention, the effective viable count of the curvularia bacterial agent in each g of the material to be fermented for the second time is 1.0 multiplied by 10 5 -3.0×10 5 The preservation number of the bacillus flexus is CGMCC NO.21705; in addition, the height of the stockpile of the second fermentation can be controlled to be not less than 3m, and the fermentation time of the second fermentation is controlled to be 5-12d.
