The invention discloses a urea formaldehyde foam matrix for cultivating cold-season turfgrass and a preparation method thereof. The method comprises the following steps that: (1) formaldehyde and urea are mixed to carry out polycondensation reaction, and urea-formaldehyde resin solution is prepared; (2) butyl naphthalene sulfonate, phosphate and water are mixed, and blister fluid is prepared; (3) the blister fluid and the urea-formaldehyde resin solution are foamed in a foaming machine, and liquid foam is prepared; (4) the liquid foam is cured and dried, and a foam matrix is prepared; and (5) aldehyde removal agent, hydrophilizing agent and potassium are dissolved into the water to prepare a mixture, the mixture is sprayed on the surface of the foam matrix and dried, and the urea formaldehyde foam matrix for cultivating cold-season turfgrass is prepared. The matrix is characterized in that water absorption and preservation properties are good, and releasing nitrogen nutrient and nutrition elements required by the growth of other turf are contained. When being used to turf establishment, the matrix not only can be used for turf production on a cultivated land and then paved on other lands, but also can be directly used for turf establishment, and has significant economic, social and ecological benefits.
