Abstract

Disclosed is a method for overwintering and cold resistance of grapevines, the vines are covered with a biological solidification layer, and the method includes the following steps: placing stems of the vines in rows on a ground, and digging soil between the rows to cover the vines and stems in the rows to form a soil-covered layer; and a thickness of the soil-covered layer is such that a distance from the stems to a top of the soil-covered layer is 50-100 mm; and spraying biological solidification solution onto the soil-covered layer to form the biological solidification layer, where composition and concentration of the biological solidification solution are as follows: 0.5-2 g/L of bean flour, 0.2-1 g/L of xanthan gum, 0.2-1 g/L of cellulose, 0.5-2 g/L of urea and 0.5-2 g/L of calcium chloride. The method is safe, reliable, time-saving, and easy to operate for overwintering of vines.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for protecting vines, wherein the vines are covered with a biological solidification layer, comprising the following steps:
S1, placing stems of the vines in rows on a ground, and digging soil between the rows to cover the vines and stems in the rows to form a soil-covered layer; and a thickness of the soil-covered layer is such that a distance from the stems to a top of the soil-covered layer is 50-100 mm;
S2, preparing a biological solidification solution as follows:
mixing bean flour, xanthan gum, and cellulose together to obtain a first mixture, then stirring and dissolving the first mixture in water to obtain Solution A;
mixing urea and calcium chloride together to obtain a second mixture and then dissolving the second mixture in water to obtain Solution B; and
mixing the Solution A and the Solution B in a volume ratio of 1:1 to prepare the biological solidification solution,
wherein a composition and a concentration of the biological solidification solution are as follows: 0.5-2 g/L of the bean flour, 0.2-1 g/L of the xanthan gum, 0.2-1 g/L of the cellulose, 0.5-2 g/L of the urea and 0.5-2 g/L of the calcium chloride;

S3, spraying the biological solidification solution onto the soil-covered layer to form the biological solidification layer,
wherein
a time after a preparation of the Solution A and a time after a preparation of the Solution B are not used as limiting conditions for a spraying time, and the spraying time of the biological solidification solution is limited to within one hour after the Solution A and the Solution B are mixed; and an ambient temperature during spraying should ensure that the biological solidification solution is in a liquid state; and
S4, spraying a de-solidification solution onto the biological solidification layer after a protection is completed to desolidify the biological solidification layer and provide nutrients, wherein the de-solidification solution is composed of water-soluble monocalcium phosphate with a concentration of 0.5-1 g/L, and a use amount of the de-solidification solution is 2-5 L/m.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the vines are grapevines.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the bean flour in the biological solidification solution is a soybean flour or a sword bean flour with a particle size smaller than 0.075 mm.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the ambient temperature during spraying of the biological solidification solution is above 0° C.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a spraying amount of the biological solidification solution is 2-5 L/m in a direction of rows of grapevines.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a spraying method of the biological solidification solution is to spray a same soil-covered layer twice, and an interval between two spraying applications is no more than 7 min, such that a total spraying amount of the two spraying applications is controlled at 2-5 L/m in a direction of rows of grapevines.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a cross-sectional geometry of the soil-covered layer is triangular or trapezoidal, with a base length of 1200-1800 mm, and a top length is 30-40 mm when it is a trapezoid.
