Description

Soil air supply and reformation apparatus for tree root growth and soil management system using the same The present invention relates to a soil air supply and modification device for the root growth of trees, comprising: a supply pipe (110) having a plurality of discharge holes (111) formed therein and installed by being inserted into the soil near the roots of trees; an air supply means (120) connected to the supply pipe (110) and configured to supply air; and a control unit (130) that controls the operation of the air supply means (120) to control the pressure of the air, the amount of air, and the supply time of the air supplied to the supply pipe (110); wherein the control unit (130) controls the operation to include a process in which the air supplied through the air supply means (120) is intermittently supplied with a pressure greater than or equal to a predetermined pressure and has a pulse-shaped pressure distribution. The invention relates to a soil air supply and modification device for the root growth of trees and a soil management system using the same. Generally, plant roots play the role of supporting the above-ground parts to prevent them from falling over, as well as absorbing water and nutrients. If the roots of these plants do not respire just like the leaves or fruits, the plant cannot grow, and furthermore, it is difficult to harvest high-quality fruits. Conventionally, to supply the moisture and oxygen necessary for plant roots to grow, sprinklers, spray hoses, and drip hoses were used to allow water to seep into the soil, thereby supplying the moisture and oxygen contained in the water. However, the above methods have the disadvantage of not being able to supply sufficient oxygen necessary for root growth, which slows down plant growth and fails to increase the productivity of high-quality fruits. As a conventional technology to solve the above-mentioned problems, the following patent document 1, "Method for providing oxygen to soil and a gas supply device therefor" (Republic of Korea Patent Registration No. 10-0771050 (October 23, 2007), discloses a method for providing oxygen to soil comprising the steps of: providing water in a liquid state; mixing gas with the provided water; and directly supplying the mixture of gas and water into the ground; wherein the step of directly supplying the mixture of gas and water into the ground comprises the step of burying an underground drip tape near the roots of a plant; and the step of directly supplying the mixture of gas and water to the soil through the drip tape. However, the above-mentioned method of providing oxygen to the soil and the gas supply device for this purpose mix gas with liquid water to supply water and gas to the roots of plants in the ground, but if operated when the soil becomes excessively wet with a lack of oxygen, such as during the rainy season or prolonged rainfall, the excessive wetness can worsen, causing the soil shape to collapse, the roots to be damaged or rot, and furthermore, the plants to die. In addition, when liquid water is supplied periodically, fine soil particles dissolved or mixed in the liquid water gradually accumulate along the path through which the liquid water passes, and as a result, the pores present in the soil may shrink or decrease, which makes it increasingly difficult to supply air.
