The present invention relates to a technical field of sugarcane ratooning, and more particularly to a method for promoting germination of underground buds and growth of new-born root systems of ratoon sugarcane.
The sugarcane is a typical perennial ratoon crop. The ratoon sugarcane occupies the important position in the sugarcane production; in the major sugarcane planting countries of the world, the area of the ratoon sugarcane accounts for more than 50% of the total sugarcane area; the ratoon age limit is generally 1-2 years, but the age limit of 8-10 years or even more than 10 years is also possible. In China, the ratoon age limit of the ratoon sugarcane is generally 2-3 years. The ratoon sugarcane not only has the advantages of labor saving, seed saving and low cost, but also has the superiorities of early growth and fast germination, early tillering, early jointing, long growth cycle, early maturing and high sucrose, and large yield increasing potential.
In the conventional ratoon sugarcane management, after harvesting the sugarcane, the production generally comprises steps of: cleaning the sugarcane field in time (burning the sugarcane leaves and returning to the field, mulching with the sugarcane leaves in alternate rows, or smashing the sugarcane leaves and returning to the field); breaking the ridges, and loosening soil around the stubbles; applying the base fertilizer and the pesticide; mulching with the plastic film; cultivating and managing; and harvesting. Because of polluting the environment and wasting the sugarcane leaf resource, burning the sugarcane leaves and then returning to the field is inappropriate to be promoted and applied. Mulching with the sugarcane leaves in alternate rows can increase the organic matters in the soil and increase the moisture content of the soil, but it is labor-consuming and time-consuming; therefore, it is less applied currently. With the promotion and application of the mechanical harvesting technology, smashing the sugarcane leaves and then returning to the field gradually becomes the major way of sugarcane leaf returning. However, covering the sugarcane ground with the smashed sugarcane leaves is unbeneficial to the subsequent managements of ridge breaking, loosening of the soil around the stubbles, fertilizer and pesticide applying, and plastic film mulching. If meeting the continuous cloudy or rainy days, the smashed sugarcane leaves covering the stubbles easily cause the mildewed and diseased sugarcane stubbles, and the stubbles will become rotten, which seriously affects the stubble quality of the ratoon sugarcane and causes the decreased germination rate and the decreased yield of the ratoon sugarcane of next season.
In recent years, cultivating the strong stubbles has become one of the effective measures to decrease the production cost of the ratoon sugarcane, lengthen the age limit of the ratoon sugarcane, ensures the continuous high yield of the ratoon sugarcane, and continuously increase the income of the sugarcane growers. Currently, there are mainly five technologies to increase the yield of the ratoon sugarcane and lengthen the age limit of the ratoon sugarcane. The first one is the method for lengthening the ratoon age limit of the sugarcane (Chinese patent publication of CN104221649A). The method lengthens the age limit of the ratoon sugarcane through replanting the sugarcane. However, the management thereof is labor-consuming and time-consuming, and thus it is difficult to promote the method under the situation of severe labor shortage. The second one is the management method for the ratoon sugarcane (Chinese patent publication of CN106489464A). With utilizing the stubble cutting and ridge breaking machine, the method successively completes the processes of stubble cutting, fertilizer applying, solution spraying, and mulching. Although the method increases the management efficiency of the ratoon sugarcane, the mulching semi-film has the relatively poor heat preservation and soil moisture conservation effects, which fails to fully tap the stubble potentials of the ratoon sugarcane; moreover, the plastic film is not thick enough, which is unbeneficial to the plastic film recycling treatment. The third one is the method for lengthening the ratoon age limit of the sugarcane. For the plant cane, the method comprises steps of: preparing the virus-free setts, ploughing and preparing the soil, applying the enough base fertilizer and pesticide, laying setts, watering, mulching, conducting the cultivation management such as topdressing and insect prevention, removing the old sugarcane leaves, applying the additional fertilizer, and hilling up. For the ratoon sugarcane, the method comprises steps of: fast-hoeing and low-cutting, cutting the stubbles and loosening the soil around the stubbles, applying the fertilizer and the pesticide, conducting the cultivation management such as film uncovering, watering, fertilizer applying and insect prevention, removing the old sugarcane leaves, applying the additional fertilizer, and hilling up. The method focuses on the management of the plant cane; for the ratoon sugarcane, the smashed old sugarcane leaves (with the diameter smaller than 1 cm) are adopted and then covered with the full film. However, because the sugarcane leaves after smashing are too short, which needs to repeat multiple times of smashing, the mechanical rolling times to the soil are increased, the soil bulk density becomes larger, and the germination of the underground buds and the growth of the new-born root systems of the sugarcane stubbles are inhibited. The fourth one is the cultivation method with deeply cutting the stubbles of the sugarcane (Chinese patent publication of CN106613104A). The method deeply cuts the stubble mechanically or manually, requires an in-soil cutting depth of 2-10 cm, and guarantees that there are 3-5 active buds on the left sugarcane stems. However, the effective method for accurately controlling the germination of the underground buds and the growth of the new-born root systems of the ratoon sugarcane is still not found. Moreover, the method is matched with the other cultivation management measure, belonging to intensive cultivation, which requires the huge amount of manpower and material investment, and has the relatively high production cost. The fifth one is to promote the germination and root system growth of the ratoon sugarcane with adopting the plant growth regulator. The researches show that: treating the ratoon sugarcane stubble with gibberellin and indolebutyric acid has the obvious effects on improving the germination rate, promoting the growth of the seedlings, and increasing the millable canes and the yield; immersing the seeds with ethephon having the appropriate concentration has the obvious promotion effects on the germination and early growth of the sugarcane, and the early germination, large root number, relatively long length, and relatively high activity of the roots. Although the plant growth regulator has the good effect, the production cost is high, so that the method is difficult to be promoted and applied in production.
The main causes which affect the continuous high yield of the ratoon sugarcane are described as follows. The first cause is that sugarcane harvesting is mainly based on manual harvesting. When cutting with the sugarcane cutter, the sugarcane stubbles are easily left on the ground, usually several centimeters higher than the ground, which directly reduces the yield of the ratoon sugarcane and decreases the sucrose content. The inadequate cutting (remaining the high sugarcane stubbles) causes that the activity of the sugarcane stubbles is decreased, the germination of the underground buds of the ratoon sugarcane is greatly reduced, and the germination rate is decreased. The inadequate cutting (remaining the high sugarcane stubbles) causes that the position of the sugarcane stubble base moves up year by year, the root system distribution becomes shallower year by year, and the sugarcane is easily lodged, which affects the normal growth and development of the ratoon sugarcane. The second cause is that the mechanical operation mode is generally introduced for the ratoon sugarcane production, but the usage of the heavy machines easily aggravates soil hardening of the sugarcane field; for the sugarcane field with mechanical harvesting, the broken rate of the ratoon sugarcane is higher than that with manual harvesting; the mechanical damages easily cause the disease infection of the sugarcane stubbles and affect the activity of the sugarcane stubbles. The third cause is that: the conventional methods, which realize the high yield of the ratoon sugarcane and lengthen the ratoon age limit through the stubble cutting technology, fail to solve the problem of keeping the continuous high yield of the ratoon sugarcane and fail to reach the desired effects of the sugarcane growers. Moreover, a part of the conventional technologies have the complex operation, and the sugarcane growers are unwilling to accept it. The fourth cause is that: the sugarcane fields focus on the cultivation of the plant cane and pay little attention to the ratoon sugarcane management, and moreover the management levels of different regions have the relatively large difference, especially in the sugarcane cutting and ratoon management, which causes the low yield of the ratoon sugarcane, the poor ratooning ability and the short age limit of the ratoon sugarcane. The above five methods are all unable to realize the significant progresses on promoting the germination of the underground buds and the growth of the new-born root systems of the ratoon sugarcane, and unable to realize the beneficial effects of cost saving and efficiency increasing of the ratoon sugarcane through improving the yield of the ratoon sugarcane and lengthening the ratoon age limit. Because of the lack of the method for promoting the germination of the underground buds and the growth of the new-born root systems of the ratoon sugarcane, which has advantages of quick effect, advancement, good practicability, easy operation and easy promotion, the stubble quality under the conventional ratoon sugarcane management is not high, and the germination of the underground buds and the growth of the new-born root systems are inhibited, causing the low yield of the ratoon sugarcane and the shortened ratoon age limiting and increasing the sugarcane production cost, which has become the key problem of restricting the high-quality development of the sugarcane industry.
In conclusion, the irregular harvesting way and the low-level ratoon sugarcane management are the main causes of the decreased yield and shortened age limit of the ratoon sugarcane. How to cultivate the strong stubbles and control the rapid germination of the underground buds and the growth of the new-born root systems to the deep soil of the ratoon sugarcane is the main research direction for realizing the continuous high yield of the ratoon sugarcane.
In order to overcome deficiencies in prior art, the present invention provides a method for promoting germination of underground buds and growth of new-born root systems of ratoon sugarcane, which has advantages of quick effect, advancement, good practicability, easy operation and easy promotion, so as to improve a germination rate and a yield of the ratoon sugarcane and lengthen a ratoon age limit.
In order to accomplish above object, the present invention adopts technical solutions as follows.
A method for promoting germination of underground buds and growth of new-born root systems of ratoon sugarcane comprises steps of:
(1) surveying depths of stubbles of the ratoon sugarcane, particularly comprising steps of: for a ratoon sugarcane field after mechanical harvesting, recycling sugarcane leaves, surveying depths of 5-8 stools, and determining an average depth of the stubbles, so as to prepare for mechanical cutting of the stubbles; for a ratoon sugarcane field preparing to adopt manual harvesting, before harvesting, surveying depths of 3-5 stools, and determining an average depth of the stubbles, so as to prepare for in-soil cutting of the ratoon sugarcane;
(2) cutting the stubbles, particularly comprising steps of: for the ratoon sugarcane field after mechanical harvesting, according to the surveyed average depth of the stubbles, cutting the stubbles with a sugarcane stubble cutting machine, and remaining underground stubbles of 5-7 cm after cutting; for the ratoon sugarcane field with manual harvesting, combined with the surveyed average depth of the stubbles, determining an in-soil cutting depth, then cutting the ratoon sugarcane with a sharp hoe, and remaining underground stubbles of 10-12 cm after cutting, so as to realize sugarcane cutting and stubble cutting in one step, and recycling sugarcane leaves;
(3) applying fertilizers and pesticides, particularly comprising steps of: after completing cutting the sugarcane or stubbles, applying a bio-organic fertilizer and a chemical fertilizer as base fertilizers at two sides of the stubbles at one time, wherein the pesticides are uniformly mixed with the chemical fertilizer and applied together; and
(4) hilling up and mulching, particularly comprising steps of: hilling up; controlling the underground buds of the ratoon sugarcane to be distributed 10-15 cm below ground after hilling up; and conducting whole film mulching with a plastic film.
According to the present invention, a method used for surveying the stubble depths of the ratoon sugarcane is a diagonal method or a serpentine method, comprising steps of: measuring the depths of the stubbles with a ruler; then calculating the surveyed stubble depths with weighted averaging; and obtaining the average depth of the stubbles.
With the method provided by the present invention, for the ratoon sugarcane field with mechanical harvesting, after completing cutting the stubbles, a paddy sugarcane field completes fertilizer and pesticide applying management in one week, while an irrigated land sugarcane field and a dry land sugarcane field complete the fertilizer and pesticide applying management in time; an application amount of the bio-organic fertilizer is 1800-3000 kg/ha, and an application amount of the chemical fertilizer is 1200-1500 kg/ha, which are both applied at the two sides of the stubbles at one time as the base fertilizers; the pesticides are uniformly mixed with the chemical fertilizer and applied together. For the ratoon sugarcane field with manual harvesting, after recycling the sugarcane leaves, the fertilizer and pesticide applying management is completed in time; an application amount of the bio-organic fertilizer is 1800-3000 kg/ha, and an application amount of the chemical fertilizer is 900-1200 kg/ha, which are both applied at the two sides of the stubbles at one time as the base fertilizers; the pesticides are uniformly mixed with the chemical fertilizer and applied together.
According to the present invention, the chemical fertilizer is a formula compound fertilizer or a bulk blending fertilizer, with an available nutrient content of 40%-52%; for the bio-organic fertilizer, an organic matter content in dry basis is larger than or equal to 40%, a living bacteria count is larger than or equal to 20 million/g, a moisture content is less than or equal to 30%, and pH is 5.5-8.0. The pesticides are 40% chlorantraniliprole·thiamethoxam (20% chlorantraniliprole and 20% thiamethoxam) water dispersible granules or 10% monosultap·clothianidin (9% monosultap and 1% clothianidin) granules. The plastic film is a fully-biodegradable weed-killing plastic film.
Compared with the prior art, the present invention has significant advantages as follows.
Firstly, the present invention promotes the rapid germination of the underground buds of the ratoon sugarcane, and ensures the fast speed and high rate of seedling emergence and the large amount of millable canes of the ratoon sugarcane, which lays the foundation for the high yield of the ratoon sugarcane.
The present invention effectively solves the technical problems caused by the conventional ratoon sugarcane management that: the aboveground buds of the ratoon sugarcane germinate fast, the sugarcane stubbles become mildewed or diseased due to the returned sugarcane leaves caught in the rain, the stubble cutting is inadequate, and the promotion and application are difficult. The present invention develops a technology which integrates accurate stubble cutting with rapid germination of the underground buds of the sugarcane stubbles, so as to facilitate the fast speed and high rate of seedling emergence of the ratoon sugarcane. After years of research, it is found that: the germination of the stubble buds at different depths obviously affects the biomass and the biomass growth rate of the aboveground part of the sugarcane; in seedling emergence, the bud depth of the sugarcane stubbles affects the seedling amount of the ratoon sugarcane; for the ratoon sugarcane with the bud depth in the range of 10-15 cm limited by the present invention, the seedling amount is higher than that with the bud depth of 5-10 cm and 15-20 cm respectively by 12.60% and 5.23%; in the sugarcane biomass, the bud depth of the sugarcane stubbles affects the formation of the biomass of the ratoon sugarcane; for the ratoon sugarcane with the bud depth in the range of 10-15 cm limited by the present invention, the biomass of the aboveground part of the sugarcane is higher than that with the bud depth of 5-10 cm and 15-20 cm. For the ratoon sugarcane with the present invention, the average single-stem weight reaches 1.71 kg, and the number of millable canes reaches 105780 plants/ha; in comparison, for the ratoon sugarcane with the bud depth of 5-10 cm and 15-20 cm, the average single-stem weights are respectively 1.19 kg and 1.51 kg, and the numbers of millable canes are respectively 90015 plants/ha and 95100 plants/ha. In the biomass growth rate of the sugarcane, the appropriate bud depth is beneficial to the rapid growth of the ratoon sugarcane; for the ratoon sugarcane with the bud depth in the range of 10-15 cm limited by the present invention, the biomass growth rate of the aboveground part of the sugarcane is higher than that with the bud depth of 5-10 cm and 15-20 cm, and details are listed in Table 1.
Secondly, the present invention ensures the growth of the new-born root systems of the ratoon sugarcane stubbles to the deep soil, and enhances the absorption capacities of the new-born root systems to water and nutrient in the soil.
The present invention breaks through the technical difficulties of the conventional ratoon sugarcane management that: the sugarcane stubbles become mildewed or diseased due to the returned sugarcane leaves caught in the rain, the precision management has the high labor amount, the fertilizer application amount is high, the stubble cutting is inadequate, and the promotion and application are difficult. Through combining mechanical operation with manual operation, bundling and recycling of the sugarcane leaves, accurate stubble cutting, fertilizer and pesticide applying, hilling up and mulching with the plastic film are integrated together, which guarantees the growth of the new-born root systems of the ratoon sugarcane to the deep soil, and cultivates the strong new-born root population. After years of research, it is found that: the present invention has the obvious effects on the root systems of the sugarcane, especially on the new-born root systems; the total length, total surface area and total volume of the new-born root systems of the ratoon sugarcane with the present invention all show an increasing trend in the elongation phase of the sugarcane and have the best effect, which are significantly better than that with the conventional ratoon sugarcane management method. It is found by the long-term analysis and research and the field experiments that: the average values of the total length, total surface area and total volume of the new-born root systems of the ratoon sugarcane with the bud depth in the range of 10-15 cm limited by the present invention are all maximum values in August, September and October, and details are listed in Table 2. The above-mentioned illustrates that the present invention has the well-developed new-born root population and establishes the good transportation platform for the new-born root systems of the ratoon sugarcane to absorb the water and nutrient in the soil, as well as ensures the growth of the new-born root systems of the ratoon sugarcane to the deep soil. The total length, total volume and total surface area of the root systems of the ratoon sugarcane are the commonest indexes for evaluating the absorption capacity of the root systems. The relatively long root systems, and the relatively large total surface area and total volume of the root systems are beneficial for the plants to absorb the water and nutrient in the soil in large-scale. Thus, through promoting the growth of the new-born root systems of the ratoon sugarcane to the deep soil and enhancing the absorption of the ratoon sugarcane to the water and nutrient in the soil, the present invention increases the yield of the ratoon sugarcane, and increases the sugarcane planting net benefits of the sugarcane growers and the benefits of the sugar enterprises, which has the good economic and social benefits.
Thirdly, the present invention enhances the activities of SOD (superoxide dismutase), POD (peroxidase) and NR (nitrate reductase) of the root systems of the ratoon sugarcane, reduces the MDA (malondialdehyde) content of the root systems, and improves the anti-aging capacity of the root systems of the ratoon sugarcane.
The present invention discloses the degradation mechanism of the root systems of the ratoon sugarcane from the perspective of enzymatic activity, and interprets the cause of the relatively short age limit of the ratoon sugarcane from the perspective of root system. SOD and POD is the protective enzymes of the plant cells; in the adverse situation, through strengthening the anti-oxidation of SOD and POD, the resistance of the plants in the adverse situation is improved; NR is a key enzyme inside the plant for transforming the nitrate nitrogen into the ammoniacal nitrogen, and the activity thereof reflects the nitrogen metabolism condition inside the plants, which is significant for improving the nutrient absorption capacity of the root systems. It is found by researches that: for the different bud depths of the ratoon sugarcane stubbles, the enzymatic activities of the sugarcane root systems in the elongation phase have significant difference, and the contents of SOD, POD and NR on the whole are expressed as: late elongation phase>middle elongation phase>early elongation phase; for the root systems of the same phase with the different management measures, the contents of SOD, POD and NR are expressed as: stubbles of 3-5 cm above the ground<stubbles as high as the ground<underground stubbles with the bud depth of 5-10 cm<underground stubbles with the bud depth of 10-15 cm (present invention); moreover, at the same phase, the SOD, POD, and NR of the root systems with the bud depth in the range of 5-15 cm are all greatly better than that with other management measured. MDA is the decomposition product of membrane lipid peroxidation, and is the index for evaluating the membrane lipid peroxidation degree, the aging degree and the reaction strength to the adverse situation of the plant cells. The different bud depths of the ratoon sugarcane have the obvious influences on the MDA content of the root systems; the MDA content of the root systems of the same phase reflects the contrary law to the enzymatic activity, and the MDA content with the bud depth of 10-15 cm (present invention) at different phases are all decreased fastest and are lowest, illustrating that the membrane lipid peroxidation degree of the root cells of the ratoon sugarcane with the present invention is high and has the relatively strong reaction capacity to the adverse situation. The above-mentioned illustrates that the present invention is beneficial to improving the anti-aging capacity of the root systems of the ratoon sugarcane, and enhancing the absorption of the root systems of the ratoon sugarcane to the nutrient in the soil, especially the nitrogen element. Moreover, the present invention has the obvious promotion effect on the sugarcane yield, which lays the foundation for the continuous high yield of the ratoon sugarcane and the extension of the ratoon age limit.
Fourthly, the present invention is beneficial to increasing the utilization efficiency of the sugarcane leaf resource, so as to avoid the “white pollution” caused by the plastic film and protect the ecological environment of the sugarcane field.
The present invention bundles and recycles the larger amount of residual sugarcane leaf resource in the ratoon sugarcane field to be used in feeding and composting, so that the waste in the sugarcane field is reused and turned into treasure, so as to realize the value maximization of the sugarcane leaf resource. Moreover, the present invention prevents the pollution problem caused by directly burning the sugarcane leaves, the extra labor for alternate row mulching and returning of the sugarcane leaves, and the difficult promotion. Even though the smashed sugarcane leaves cannot be all recycled after mechanical harvesting, the residual small amount of smash sugarcane leaves will not cause the mildewed or diseased sugarcane stubbles due to continuous raining, or affect the subsequent ratoon sugarcane management. Through mechanical stubble cutting, the residual small amount of smash sugarcane leaves is also buried into the soil and becomes the organic fertilizer source for soil loosening, so as to improve the soil fertility. Meanwhile, the present invention adopts the fully-biodegradable weed-killing plastic film and the scientific mulching method; through the microorganisms in the soil, the fully-biodegradable weed-killing plastic film is degraded into water and carbon dioxide, which will not pollute the soil, so that the “white plastic film pollution” of the sugarcane field is effectively avoided. Moreover, the plastic film has the function of weed killing, which can decrease the use of the herbicide of the sugarcane field, so as to reduce the investment of the pesticides; and the use of the plastic film for weed killing is an environment-friendly method.
Fifthly, the present invention saves the management labor, reduces the application amount of the chemical fertilizer, decreases the production cost of the ratoon sugarcane, and increases the sugarcane planting benefits of the sugarcane growers, which has obvious economic, social and ecological benefits.
The present invention not only promotes the rapid germination of the underground buds and the growth of the root systems to the deep soil of the ratoon sugarcane and lengthens the age limit of the ratoon sugarcane, but also saves the labor during the management process of the ratoon sugarcane, which is mainly reflected in the managements of cultivating, fertilizer applying, hilling up and mulching of the ratoon sugarcane; for fertilizer applying and hilling up, at least two laborers are saved, and the cost of more than 2400-3600 Yuan/ha is saved. Meanwhile, with applying the formula compound fertilizer or the bulk blending fertilizer at one time, the present invention increases the utilization efficiency of the fertilizer, decreases the application amount of the chemical fertilizer by 300-600 kg/ha, and reduces the investment cost of the chemical fertilizer. The present invention has obvious effects both in labor saving and cost saving, and decreases the production cost of the sugarcane as well as ensures the continuous high yield of the ratoon sugarcane.
