Studies on the Ecological Adaptability of Growing Rice with Floating Bed on the Dilute Biogas Slurry

الملخص EN

This study aimed to explore the ecological adaptability and the possibility of growing rice with floating bed on the dilute biogas slurry.

The results of the experiments show that the growth stage, rice plant height, and rice yield and quality were significantly affected by multiple dilutions; rice plants cultivated with 45 multiple dilutions had better ecological adaptability than others.

In the 45 multiple dilutions’ group, the yield of rice was 13.3 g/bucket (8 rice plants), milled rice rate was 63.1%, and the content of crude protein in the rice was 6.3%.

The concentrations of heavy metals in the rice cultivated with 30 multiple dilutions’ slurry, such as total lead, cadmium, mercury, chromium, and arsenic, were all below the national standard.

The study shows that it is possible and safe to cultivate rice plants with no soil but diluted biogas slurry.

In the experiments, the yield, milled rice rate, and crude protein of the rice cultivated with slurry were not as much as those of rice cultivated with regular way in soil.

This study provides the basic theoretical support for the development of biogas projects and the potential achievement of organic farming in special agricultural facilities and circular economy.
