How does Rice Side-deep Fertilization Change the Traditional Fertilization Method?

In the process of rice planting, fertilization technology has an important impact on the growth and yield of crops. This article will discuss three different fertilization methods: surface fertilization, full-layer fertilization and side deep fertilization. Let's learn about it together.

First of all, surface fertilization is mainly used in Meishan and other places. It is mainly carried out when there is water in the field after rice transplanting. Farmers will spread the base fertilizer on the surface of the soil, generally using about 80 kilograms of compound fertilizer per mu, and urea alone for tillering fertilizer, which will be spread after the rice turns green. Surface fertilization is simple to operate, but it may cause fertilizer loss and volatilization, reducing fertilizer utilization.

Secondly, full-layer fertilization is a more popular base fertilizer application method in the southwestern rice area. This method spreads fertilizer on the soil surface before plowing the field, and then fully mixes the fertilizer with the soil through the process of plowing and harrowing the field. The advantage of this is that the fertilizer can be evenly distributed throughout the entire tillage layer, avoiding local excessive fertilizer and reducing the risk of burning seedlings. It is also beneficial for the root system to absorb nutrients during the entire growth process and reduce the possibility of fertilizer loss in the later stage.

However, as an emerging fertilization technology, side deep fertilization has gradually shown its unique advantages in rice planting. Side deep fertilization is to apply fertilizer into the soil through a fertilizer applicator during the machine transplanting process. The fertilizer pipe is about 5 cm away from the rice plant, and the fertilization depth is between 5-8 cm. This fertilization method has the following characteristics:

1. Fertilizer strip distribution: Side deep fertilization makes the fertilizer distributed in the soil in a strip shape, which is conducive to the root system of rice to take root downward, promote the vertical and horizontal balanced development of the root system, and enhance the plant's resistance to lodging.

2. Improve fertilizer utilization: Fertilizer goes deep into the soil, reduces volatilization and loss, and improves fertilizer utilization.

3. Promote root growth: Side deep fertilization helps the growth and development of the root system, so that the plant can better absorb nutrients in the soil, thereby promoting crop growth.

4. Environmentally friendly and efficient: Side deep fertilization reduces fertilizer waste, reduces agricultural non-point source pollution, and meets the environmental protection requirements of modern agriculture.

Yongxiang Intelligent Rice Side Deep Fertilizer Applicator is an agricultural machinery that uses a fan to blow out high-speed air to evenly and accurately deliver granular fertilizer to the absorption position of the seedlings, which is conducive to better growth of the seedlings (seedlings side position 20-50mm, depth 50mm), and reduces fertilizer consumption to a greater extent. It can accurately, quickly, and evenly side-to-side and side-to-side to the roots of the rice seedlings, thereby achieving the "nutrition" required for the initial growth of the seedlings, and also greatly saves labor!

Yongxiang Intelligent Rice Side Deep Fertilizer Applicator uses radar speed measurement and is equipped with multiple sensors such as missed application monitoring, blockage monitoring, and material level monitoring. It is easy to operate and has precise control. It also has many advantages such as area measurement, fault prompts, and missed seeding alarms.
