Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The invention relates to the field of soilless culture, in particular to a hydroponic leaf vegetable nutrient solution formula capable of inhibiting the growth of green algae and a preparation method thereof.

2. Description of the Related Art

Many scholars at home and abroad are conducting research on the formula of soilless culture. The formula of the nutrient solution is based on the chemical composition of the soil extract, and the widely used formulas include: Hoagland formula, Yamazaki formula and Japanese vegetable garden experimental formula. The Hoagland formula is more suitable for cucumber seedlings. The Yamazaki formula has been improved in different proportions for different crops. The Japanese vegetable garden experimental formula is more general, but the growth of green algae in the nutrient solution is still unavoidable.

According to the environmental conditions necessary for the growth and development of crops, inactive solid substrates and nutrient solutions are used to replace natural soils to provide temperature, water, oxygen and nutrients to the crops, so that hydroponic plants can grow normally and complete their entire life cycle of growth. There are many planktonic algae spores invisible to the naked eye in the water, and the nutrient solution contains a lot of nutrients. In the case of sufficient light, the green algae are easy to multiply in large numbers, and adhere to the cultivation box, substrate sponge and plant roots, which will also have a certain impact on the growth of plants.

Through the filter device, the green algae are removed from the water and centrifuged, but this method is costly and requires constant replacement of the filter element. The ultraviolet germicidal lamp can also be used for sterilization, but it will increase energy consumption and is not necessarily economical. The use of algaecides to kill algae is an exploration. The common polyaluminum chloride is effective in purifying pond water, but aluminum can cause damage to the brain and nervous system and cannot be directly used as a nutrient solution for hydroponic plants. Considering that under low light conditions, vegetables will slow down the absorption of nutrients such as Mg, N, P, etc.; therefore, it is necessary to redesign and improve the nutrient solution of the balcony hydroponic vegetable garden from the perspective of the nutrient solution formula.

  • 5. pouring the prepared cultivation nutrient solution into a small watering can for spray watering of seedlings.Nutrient Solution Preparation Process:

in order to avoid the interaction of various fertilizers and the influence of pH on the dissolution, the nutrient solution is divided into A, B, C, and D solutions, and they are added sequentially during use. First, weighing various fertilizers according to the amount of nutrient solution to be configured.

Liquor A (Volume: 1 L)

First dissolving the calcium nitrate in warm water, and stirring while adding water until it is uniformly dissolved.

Liquor B (Volume: 1 L)

First dissolving EDTA-FeNa with warm water, then adding potassium nitrate, and adding water and stirring until it is completely dissolved.

Liquor C (Volume: 1 L)

First dissolving ferrous sulfate in warm water, adding boric acid in warm water, then adding manganese sulfate, copper sulfate, zinc sulfate, ammonium molybdate, etc., and mixing and stirring.

Liquor D (Volume: 1 L)

First dissolving the benzalkonium chloride in warm water, then adding water and stirring until it is uniformly dissolved

Using Process:

When using the nutrient solution, adding liquor A first at the ratio of 10 mL to 1 kg of water, then adding liquor B after it is fully dissolved, and finally adding liquor C and liquor D.

Adjusting the pH of the nutrient solution directly affects the state, transformation and effectiveness of the nutrients in the nutrient solution. Phosphate is prone to precipitation when it is alkaline; deficiencies of manganese, iron, etc., due to reduced solubility in alkaline solutions, may also occur. The nutrient solution is usually prepared with well water or tap water. If the pH value of the water source is neutral or slightly alkaline, the pH value of the prepared nutrient solution is similar to that of the water source, and adjustments should be made if it does not match. When adjusting the pH value, the strong acid and alkali should be diluted with water first. When the nutrient solution is too alkaline, using phosphoric acid or sulfuric acid to neutralize. When it is acidic, using sodium hydroxide to neutralize, and then adding dropwise to the nutrient solution, while continuously measuring with pH test paper up to the required pH (the pH value of vegetable nutrient solution is 5.5-6.5).

Replacing the nutrient solution with tap water 2-3 days before picking, which can replace the accumulation of fertilizer in the plant and improve the taste and quality of vegetables.
