Functional Fertilizer Machinery Improve Soil Structure

Soil plays an important role in the agricultural production on which we rely. It is not only the basis for plant growth, but also provides essential nutrients and water for crops. Healthy soil can support plant root growth, promote microbial activity, and maintain an effective supply of water and nutrients. Therefore, improving soil structure is the key to improving agricultural productivity and sustainable development.

Importance of soil

1. Nutrient supply: Soil is the main source of nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium for plants, which are essential for plant growth and development.
2. Water retention: Good soil structure can effectively retain water, ensuring that plants can still get enough water under drought conditions.
3. Microbial activity: The rich microbial community in the soil helps to decompose organic matter, promote nutrient circulation, and improve soil fertility.
4. Root support: Soil provides support for plant roots, helping plants grow firmly and absorb water and nutrients.

The role of functional fertilizers

Functional fertilizers refer to fertilizers that have other special functions in addition to providing the basic nutrients required by plants. According to their functions, functional fertilizers can be divided into the following categories:

• Soil-improving fertilizers:

These fertilizers are mainly used to improve the physical, chemical and biological properties of the soil. For example, lime, gypsum, etc. can adjust the pH of the soil and improve the soil structure.

• Water-retaining fertilizers:

This type of fertilizer can improve the water-retaining capacity of the soil, reduce water evaporation, and is suitable for agricultural production in arid areas.

• Growth-promoting fertilizers:

Contains ingredients that promote plant growth, such as certain microbial fertilizers and growth regulators, which can increase the growth rate and yield of crops.

• Weed-killing fertilizers:

These fertilizers have the function of inhibiting the growth of weeds and can reduce the competition of weeds on crops.

• Insecticidal fertilizers:

Contains natural or synthetic ingredients that can effectively prevent and control pests and protect crops.

• Sterilizing fertilizers:

It has the function of killing soil pathogens, which can improve soil health and reduce the occurrence of plant diseases.

The use of functional fertilizers can significantly improve soil fertility and crop growth, and is an indispensable part of modern agriculture.

How to produce functional fertilizers

The process of producing functional fertilizers involves multiple steps, usually including raw material selection, crushing, mixing, fermentation, granulation, screening, packaging, and other links. The following are the general steps for producing functional fertilizers:

1. Raw material selection

Functional fertilizers are usually produced using a variety of raw materials, including:

Organic matter (such as agricultural products, chicken manure, domestic garbage, etc.)

Microbial flora (such as nitrogen-fixing bacteria, phosphorus bacteria, potassium bacteria, etc.)

Minerals (such as lime, gypsum, etc.)

2. Raw material processing

Crushing: Crush the raw materials to a suitable particle size for subsequent mixing and fermentation.

Mixing: mix different raw materials in a certain proportion to ensure uniform distribution of nutrients.

3. Fermentation process

Liquid fermentation: liquid fermentation using microbial flora, usually carried out under controlled temperature and humidity to promote the reproduction of beneficial microorganisms.

Solid fermentation: solid fermentation of the mixed raw materials usually requires two inoculations to improve the fermentation effect and product quality. During the fermentation process, the moisture content and ventilation conditions of the raw materials should be controlled to promote the activity of microorganisms.

4. Granulation

Granulator: Use a granulator to convert the fermented material into granular fertilizer. Common equipment includes disc granulators and drum granulators, which can improve the uniformity and stability of the granules.

5. Drying and cooling

After granulation, the granules need to be dried and cooled to ensure their stability during storage and transportation.

6. Packaging and storage

The functional fertilizers produced are packaged to ensure their quality during transportation and storage.

Through the above steps, the functional fertilizers produced can not only provide the basic nutrients required by plants, but also improve soil structure, increase water retention capacity and promote microbial activity, thereby improving the growth effect of crops.
