The invention discloses a seedling-raising substrate and a preparation method thereof, and relates to the field of plant seedling raising. The seedling-raising substrate is prepared from, by mass, sandy soil, magnesium sulfate, rotten cow dung, a water-absorbing water-retaining agent, carburizing rice husk, trachycarpus fortunei bark fibers, calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizer, nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium compound fertilizer, ammonium sulfate, monoammonium phosphate, boric acid, polyaspartic acid, glucosamine oligosaccharides, a plant disease prevention agent and activation resistant bacteria. According to the technical scheme, the substrate has the functions of sufficient fertilizer efficiency, nutrition slow release, disease resistance and stress tolerance, comprehensive nutrition, high pertinence and the like, and various indexes reach the industrial standard. By means of batched production and application in multiple seedling-raising factories, the seedling-raising substrate can increase the germination rate of seeds and seedling emergence rate, seedlings are regular, robust growth is achieved, the seedlings are healthy and strong, rampant growth, root rot, dwarfing and rigidifying do not exist, flower bud differentiation of the seedlings is normal, and the property, yield and quality of the crop variety are guaranteed.
