Abstract
Wheat straws, wheat shells, corn leaves and corn cobs (5%, 8% and 10%) were added to red clay to obtain seedling bricks, and seedling bricks mixed with nothing as control (CK), and did the tests of molding density, crumble rate and penetration rate of water with them. The results showed that the larger proportion of mix-plants, the better on physical properties of the seedling bricks. When the proportion of mix-plants was the same, their molding density CK > mixed with wheat straws > mixed with corn cobs > mixed with wheat shells > mixed with corn leaves; their crumble rates: CK > mixed with corn cobs > mixed with wheat shells > mixed with wheat straws > mixed with corn leaves; their water penetration rates: mixed with corn cobs > mixed with wheat straws > seedling bricks mixed with corn leaves> mixed with wheat shells > CK. The density of seeding brick containing 10% corn leaves obtained minimum, and its penetration rate was the least as well; the penetration rate of water of seeding brick with 10% corn cobs was the biggest.
