Description

本発明は、複数種の粒状肥料を配合した粒状肥料配合物に関する。 The present invention relates to a granular fertilizer blend in which a plurality of types of granular fertilizers are blended.

近年、農業就労者の高年齢化、就労者数の減少、兼業農家の増加から、より効率よい作物栽培を目的に各種肥料成分を配合した粒状肥料配合物が提案されている。また、植物の成長にあわせ所定の時期に溶出させるために種々の肥効調整型被覆肥料も開発され、配合されている。例えば、特許文献1には緩行性被覆粒状肥料と非緩行性被覆粒状とを混合してなる被覆粒状配合肥料が記載され、特許文献2には窒素形態且つ供給パターンの異なる種類の粒状肥料からなる配合肥料が記載されている。
このように種々の目的に応じて設計された異なる肥料を配合した配合肥料が利用されているが、適切に配合された配合肥料が製品袋からの排出時や、動力肥料散布機のタンク内にて分離してしまい、実際に水田や畑に散布された際には、配合肥料の割合のムラが生じてしまい、作物の株によってはその成長に差異が生じる恐れがあった。
この為、動力肥料散布機の肥料タンク内に攪拌手段を設けた混合機等が使用されている(特許文献3を参照。)が、機械の構造が複雑になるなどの問題があった。
In recent years, granular fertilizer blends containing various fertilizer components have been proposed for the purpose of more efficient crop cultivation because of the aging of agricultural workers, the decrease in the number of workers, and the increase in part-time farmers. In addition, various fertilizer-adjusted coated fertilizers have been developed and blended for elution at a predetermined time according to the growth of plants. For example, Patent Document 1 describes a coated granular compound fertilizer obtained by mixing slow-grading coated granular fertilizer and non-grading coated granular fertilizer, and Patent Document 2 is composed of granular fertilizers with different nitrogen forms and supply patterns. A compound fertilizer is described.
In this way, mixed fertilizers containing different fertilizers designed for various purposes are used, but properly mixed fertilizers are discharged from the product bag or in the tank of the power fertilizer spreader However, when it was actually sprayed on paddy fields and fields, the proportion of the mixed fertilizer was uneven, and there was a risk that the growth would differ depending on the crop stock.
For this reason, a mixer or the like provided with a stirring means is used in the fertilizer tank of the power fertilizer spreader (see Patent Document 3), but there is a problem that the structure of the machine is complicated.

Specifically, the granular fertilizer blended most with respect to the whole of the granular fertilizer blend and the others. More preferably, all of the combinations of the granular fertilizer with more than 10% by weight of the blended seed, more preferably the granular fertilizer with the most blended seed and the other of the granular fertilizer with more than 5% by weight of the seed The granular fertilizer blend having a relationship regarding the average value of the following shape factors, and more preferably, all of the combinations of the granular fertilizers are further the granular fertilizer blend having the relationship regarding the following fluidity.

まず、本発明における粒状肥料の形状係数について、以下に説明する。本発明における粒状肥料の形状係数は、下記に示す方法により測定される。
粒状肥料の粒子を板硝子面等の滑らかな平面上に置く。該平面に対して垂直方向から、該粒子の各々の平面として画像を取得する。次に平面画像として取り込んだ粒子の輪郭における、周囲長と包絡周囲長を市販の画像解析装置等を用いて測定して、下記の式に従い、形状係数を計算する。
形状係数=(1−包絡周囲長/周囲長)×100
例えば図1に示した粒子の輪郭においては、「包絡周囲長」とは破線で示したようにその凸部を最短の距離をもって結んだときの周囲の長さを意味し、「周囲長」とは実線で表わされた輪郭そのものの長さを意味する。因みに、包絡周囲長と周囲長より算出される該形状係数は、一般に「収縮率」と呼称される形状係数である。
実際には、該形状係数を統計的に有意な数の粒状肥料の粒子について取得し、これの平均値を計算する。具体的には20〜100粒の粒状肥料の粒子を用いて、各々の形状係数の平均値を算出する。
First, the shape factor of the granular fertilizer in the present invention will be described below. The shape factor of the granular fertilizer in the present invention is measured by the method shown below.
The granular fertilizer particles are placed on a smooth surface such as a plate glass surface. Images are acquired as each plane of the particles from a direction perpendicular to the plane. Next, the perimeter and envelope perimeter of the contour of the particles captured as a planar image are measured using a commercially available image analyzer or the like, and the shape factor is calculated according to the following equation.
Shape factor = (1-envelope perimeter / perimeter) × 100
For example, in the particle outline shown in FIG. 1, “envelope perimeter” means the perimeter when the convex portions are connected with the shortest distance as shown by the broken line, and “perimeter” Means the length of the contour itself represented by a solid line. Incidentally, the shape factor calculated from the envelope perimeter and the perimeter is a shape factor generally referred to as “shrinkage rate”.
In practice, the shape factor is obtained for a statistically significant number of granular fertilizer particles and the average value is calculated. Specifically, an average value of each shape factor is calculated using 20 to 100 granular fertilizer particles.

本発明における上記の式で求められる形状係数は、具体的には、CCDカメラ等を用いて取り込んだ粒状肥料の平面画像を、WinROOF(三谷商事製)等の画像解析処理装置を使いて、測定することができる。 Specifically, the shape factor obtained by the above formula in the present invention is measured using a plane image of granular fertilizer captured using a CCD camera or the like, using an image analysis processing device such as WinROOF (manufactured by Mitani Corporation). can do.

上記の方法により、粒状肥料配合物に最も多く配合された種の粒状肥料およびそれ以外の10重量%以上配合された種の粒状肥料について、各々の粒子の形状係数を測定する。
次に、最も多く配合された種の粒状肥料と、それ以外の10重量%以上配合された種の粒状肥料との組み合わせにおいて、形状係数の大きい粒状肥料を「粒状肥料A」とし、もう一方を「粒状肥料B」とする。粒状肥料Aの形状係数に対する、粒状肥料Bの形状係数の比を求める。本発明の粒状肥料配合物は、この形状係数の比が0.3〜1.0、好ましくは0.4〜1.0である。
粒状肥料配合物にそれ以外の10重量%以上配合された種の粒状肥料が2種以上ある場合は、最も多く配合された種の粒状肥料と、それ以外の2種以上の10重量%以上配合された種の粒状肥料との組み合わせにおいても、同様の形状係数の比を求める。
According to the above method, the shape factor of each particle is measured for the granular fertilizer of the seed most blended in the granular fertilizer blend and the granular fertilizer of the seed blended by 10% by weight or more.
Next, in the combination of the most commonly blended granular fertilizer and the other 10% by weight or more of the blended granular fertilizer, the granular fertilizer with a large shape factor is referred to as “granular fertilizer A”, and the other Let it be "granular fertilizer B". The ratio of the shape factor of the granular fertilizer B to the shape factor of the granular fertilizer A is obtained. In the granular fertilizer composition of the present invention, the ratio of the shape factor is 0.3 to 1.0, preferably 0.4 to 1.0.
When there are two or more types of granular fertilizers mixed with 10% by weight or more of the granular fertilizer compound, the most common type of granular fertilizer and other two or more types of 10% by weight or more The same shape factor ratio is also determined in combination with the granular fertilizer of the seeds.

本発明において、最も多く配合された種の粒状肥料とそれ以外の10重量%以上配合された種の粒状肥料との組み合わせは、更に粒状肥料の流動性が下記の関係を有していることが好ましい。
本発明における粒状肥料の流動性は、下記に示すように、日本工業規格による流動度測定方法に基づいた方法により測定される。
まず、図2に示す、オリフィス管部の口径12mmφ、長さ55mm、漏斗状部の上端部の口径75mmφ、長さ50mmである、漏斗状オリフィス管を用意し、該オリフィス管が垂直となるように固定する。予め量り取っておいた粒状肥料50gを、該オリフィス管の漏斗状部へ投入して、下端から落下しはじめた時点をスタート時として、全量がオリフィス管から出るまでの時間を測定して、単位重量あたりの粒子の落下時間を流動度(秒/g)として算出する。1種類の粒状肥料について、3度の測定を行い、その平均値を算出し、その粒状肥料における流動度とする。
In the present invention, the combination of the most commonly blended granular fertilizer and the other 10% by weight or more of the blended granular fertilizer is such that the fluidity of the granular fertilizer has the following relationship: preferable.
The fluidity of the granular fertilizer in the present invention is measured by a method based on a fluidity measurement method according to Japanese Industrial Standards as shown below.
First, a funnel-shaped orifice tube having a diameter of 12 mmφ and a length of 55 mm of the orifice tube portion, a diameter of 75 mmφ and a length of 50 mm of the upper end portion of the funnel-shaped portion shown in FIG. 2 is prepared so that the orifice tube is vertical. To fix. The amount of granular fertilizer weighed in advance was put into the funnel-shaped portion of the orifice tube, and the time until the whole amount came out of the orifice tube was measured starting from the time when it started to fall from the lower end. The drop time of the particles per weight is calculated as the fluidity (second / g). One type of granular fertilizer is measured three times, the average value is calculated, and the fluidity in the granular fertilizer is obtained.

It is 8-1.3, More preferably, it is 0.9-1.2.

本発明の粒状肥料配合物は、例えば、最も多く配合された粒状肥料と10重量%以上配合された他の粒状肥料との比重差が0.1〜0.4g/cm3程度あったとしても、混合された粒状肥料同士が容易に分離することがないので、攪拌手段を有しない動力肥料散布機のタンク内においても、分離することなく、均一に粒状肥料配合物を散布することが可能である。 The granular fertilizer blend of the present invention may have a specific gravity difference of about 0.1 to 0.4 g / cm 3 between, for example, the most blended granular fertilizer and other granular fertilizers blended by 10% by weight or more. Because the mixed granular fertilizers are not easily separated from each other, even in the tank of a power fertilizer spreader that does not have a stirring means, it is possible to uniformly disperse the granular fertilizer compound without separation. is there.

粒状肥料の製造においては、その肥料成分の種類や量が同一であっても、造粒方法や造粒条件等が異なると、得られる粒状肥料の粒径分布や形状が変化する場合がある。この場合には、同一種類の粒状肥料においても、造粒方法、造粒条件、更には保存条件が変化した製品毎に、上記の形状係数や流動度を測定しておき、実際に粒状肥料配合物を製造する際に、形状係数や流動度の比が特定の範囲となるような粒状肥料を組み合わせて配合することにより、本発明の分離し難い本発明の粒状肥料配合物を製造することができる。
具体的には、粒状肥料配合物に最も多く配合される種の粒状肥料を決定し、更に粒状肥料配合物に10重量%以上配合するそれ以外の粒状肥料の候補を決定する。それ以外の10重量%以上配合する粒状肥料が複数の種類ある場合には、その粒状肥料についての候補も決定する。次に、粒状肥料配合物に最も多く配合させる種の粒状肥料およびそれ以外の10重量%以上配合する種の粒状肥料の候補について、上記ような粒状肥料の形状係数、好ましくは更に流動度を測定する。そして、最も多く配合させる種の粒状肥料とそれ以外の10重量%以上配合する種の粒状肥料の候補との組み合わせにおいて、粒状肥料の形状係数の比、好ましくは更に流動度の比を計算し、その組み合わせが分離し難い粒状肥料の組み合わせであるかを判定する。次いで、分離し難い粒状肥料の組み合わせから選ばれた粒状肥料を所定の割合で混合することにより、本発明の粒状肥料配合物を製造することができる。
In the production of granular fertilizer, even if the types and amounts of the fertilizer components are the same, the particle size distribution and shape of the obtained granular fertilizer may change if the granulation method, granulation conditions, and the like are different. In this case, even with the same type of granular fertilizer, measure the shape factor and fluidity for each product whose granulation method, granulation conditions, and storage conditions have changed, and actually add the granular fertilizer. When producing a product, it is possible to produce the granular fertilizer composition of the present invention that is difficult to separate by blending granular fertilizers in which the ratio of shape factor and fluidity falls within a specific range. it can.
Specifically, the granular fertilizer of the kind most blended in the granular fertilizer blend is determined, and further candidates for the other granular fertilizer blended in the granular fertilizer blend by 10% by weight or more are determined. When there are a plurality of other types of granular fertilizer to be blended at 10% by weight or more, candidates for the granular fertilizer are also determined. Next, the shape factor of the granular fertilizer as described above, preferably further the fluidity is measured for the granular fertilizer of the seed to be blended most in the granular fertilizer blend and the other candidate of the granular fertilizer to be blended by 10% by weight or more. To do. And in the combination of the granular fertilizer of the seed to be blended most and the other candidate of the granular fertilizer to be blended by 10% by weight or more, the ratio of the shape factor of the granular fertilizer, preferably the ratio of the fluidity is calculated, It is determined whether the combination is a combination of granular fertilizers that are difficult to separate. Subsequently, the granular fertilizer compound of this invention can be manufactured by mixing the granular fertilizer selected from the combination of the granular fertilizer which is hard to isolate | separate in a predetermined ratio.

また、粒状肥料における上記の形状係数や流動度は、粒状肥料に対して、粒子の形状を変化させる処理、または粒子の形状に基づき選別する処理を行うことにより、その形状係数や流動度を変化させることができる。粒子の形状を変化させる処理としては、例えば整粒機を用いた粒子の角取り処理が挙げられ、粒子の形状に基づき選別する処理としては、篩を用いた粒径による粒子を選別する処理、転選機を用いた転がり度合いより粒子を選別する処理が挙げられる。角取り処理を行うことにより、上記の形状係数が小さな粒状肥料とすることができる。転がり度合いによる選別にて、転がり易い粒状肥料を集めると、上記の形状係数が小さな粒状肥料を得ることができる。このような処理に付することにより、最も多く配合される種の粒状肥料およびそれ以外の10重量%以上配合する種の粒状肥料との組み合わせにおいて、形状係数や流動度の比が特定の範囲とすることができ、本発明の分離し難い粒状肥料配合物を製造することができる。
具体的には、設計された粒状肥料配合物において、最も多く含有させる種の粒状肥料と、それ以外の10重量%以上配合する種の粒状肥料との組み合わせにおける、形状係数が上記の関係を有するように、好ましくは更に流動度が上記の関係を有するように、粒子の形状を変化させる処理、または粒子の形状に基づき選別する処理を行う。その後、前記処理に付した粒状肥料を所定の割合で混合することにより、本発明の粒状肥料配合物を製造することができる。
In addition, the shape factor and fluidity of the granular fertilizer can be changed by performing a process for changing the shape of the particles or a process for selecting based on the shape of the particles for the granular fertilizer.

By performing the chamfering process, a granular fertilizer having a small shape factor can be obtained. When granular fertilizers that are easy to roll are collected by sorting based on the degree of rolling, granular fertilizers having a small shape factor can be obtained. By applying such treatment, the combination of the most frequently blended granular fertilizer and the other 10% by weight or more of the blended granular fertilizer, the ratio of shape factor and fluidity is within a specific range. It is possible to produce a granular fertilizer composition that is difficult to separate according to the present invention.
Specifically, in the designed granular fertilizer blend, the shape factor in the combination of the most granular fertilizer to be contained and the other granular fertilizer to be blended by 10% by weight or more has the above relationship. Thus, preferably, a process for changing the shape of the particles or a process for selecting based on the shape of the particles is performed so that the fluidity has the above relationship. Then, the granular fertilizer compound of this invention can be manufactured by mixing the granular fertilizer attached | subjected to the said process in a predetermined ratio.
