Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for cultivating plants, and more particularly to a method for cultivating plants using a porous fertilizer made by mixing an inorganic porous material and an organic plant nutrient and then propagating bacteria.

Traditionally, efforts have been made to grow plant roots deep underground in the cultivation of plants.

Plant roots, like humans, absorb oxygen and release carbon dioxide.

It is well known that plant roots perform this respiration function.

The purpose of cultivating land in traditional agriculture is to facilitate the growth of roots into the soil, as well as to introduce oxygen into the soil to help roots breathe.

Therefore, it was necessary to cultivate the land as deeply as possible.

When applying fertilizer, it was mixed as deep into the soil as possible to help the roots grow deep underground.

For the reasons mentioned above, conventional agriculture requires a lot of labor for deep plowing and a large amount of expense, such as deep plowing using large tractors.

In addition, large amounts of fertilizer were required to maintain the aggregate structure of the soil and help the roots deep in the soil breathe.

Contrary to conventional plant cultivation methods, the present invention allows roots to grow toward the ground surface.

The present invention creates an artificial aggregate structure on the ground surface by applying a porous fertilizer made by mixing an inorganic porous material and an organic plant nutrient and then breeding bacteria on the ground surface. Plants are cultivated by growing the roots of the plant from the bottom up until it reaches the inside of the plant.

The present invention is a method for cultivating plants using a porous fertilizer made by mixing an inorganic porous material and an organic plant nutrient and then propagating bacteria. Grow the roots upward into the porous fertilizer towards the soil surface.

Traditionally, it has been known to place mounds on plants such as green onions, udon, and asparagus, but in these cases, the purpose is to shield the stems from sunlight and soften or whiten them; Rather, the roots themselves needed to remain in the original soil and grow deep.

According to the present invention, plant roots grow upward toward the ground surface and enter the porous fertilizer, contrary to the conventional method.

The reason for this is thought to be that plant roots are attracted to the components in the porous fertilizer dissolved in rainwater or irrigation water and grow in that direction.

This phenomenon does not occur with simple embankments.

The inorganic porous materials used in the present invention include blast furnace slag, steelmaking slag, coral pieces (meaning not only coral reef but also coral sand), chamotte, volcanic bombs,
One or more of pumice, diatomaceous earth, zeolite, activated carbon, bone meal, whitebait, and Kanuma earth.

Particularly suitable are blast furnace slag and steelmaking slag.

The organic plant nutrients used in the present invention are any one or more of compost material plant organic matter, compost, deep bed, and livestock manure.

Porous fertilizers are produced by mixing inorganic porous materials and organic plant nutrients and then breeding bacteria.

The weight ratio of inorganic porous material to organic plant nutrients is approximately 98.
:2 to about 2:98, especially about 97:3 to about 20:80.

Particularly preferred is about 95:5 to about 30 near 0.

The size of the inorganic porous body used is about 1 Fahrenheit or less.

Particularly preferred are those having dimensions of primarily about 2 to 0.3 mm.

After application, porous fertilizers are gradually washed away by wind and rain and become flattened, so if necessary, it is preferable to apply them two or more times and mound them upward one after another.

The application rate of porous fertilizer is 10-1000 kg/10a
600 kg/10 a or less is usually sufficient, and usually about 200 to 600 kg/10 a is used.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, calcium compost produced by the method disclosed in Japanese Patent Application No. 140261/1989 filed by the present inventor is used as the porous fertilizer.

This calcium compost produces sufficiently good results at about 200 kg/10 a.

The invention will now be explained in more detail with reference to the drawings.

Figure 1 shows the growth status of conventional plants. Plant A has roots C extending deep underground in soil B.

On the other hand, FIG. 2 shows the growth status of plants according to the present invention. Plant A' grows roots C/ into soil Bl, but
Since porous fertilizer is piled up on the surface of soil Bl, with plants A' at the center, they grow upward toward the surface of soil B' as shown.

Roots C' that have grown to the surface of soil B' grow inside the porous fertilizer that protects them from light and dryness.

The present invention has the great economic advantage of eliminating the need for labor and mechanical power required for deep cultivation of soil.

In addition, porous fertilizers can be applied only to the ground surface, and only to the areas where plants are concentrated, so the amount of application is much smaller than when porous fertilizers are buried deep in the soil.

Furthermore, the present invention significantly increases the yield of plants and significantly improves the quality of the harvest.

Furthermore, it has achieved good results in greenhouses, etc., where continuous cropping failure is likely to occur, without having to replace the crop.

If a silicic acid source, such as blast furnace slag or steelmaking slag, is used as the inorganic porous body, the silicic acid source will be decomposed by bacteria, and the silicic acid will be easily absorbed by plant roots, resulting in a natural silicic acid layer on the plant surface.

On top of this natural silicic acid layer, an artificial protective film such as paraffin, sulfur mixture, machine oil emulsion, etc. is formed in accordance with the applicant's application on the same day entitled "Method for Controlling Plant Pests and Pests," which completely eliminates plant pests and diseases for a long period of time. It is possible to significantly reduce the amount and frequency of spraying when pesticide spraying is necessary.
Pesticide cost decreases to O from 3 to 1/1 month.

The details of this method are described in the same application, so the explanation will be omitted here.

These excellent effects are due to the fact that the method of the present invention makes it easier for plant roots to breathe, while at the same time blocking the presence of light from the porous fertilizer, the roots do not wither and can withstand dryness. Conceivable.

The invention will now be illustrated by way of example.

Example 1 An experimental plot and a control plot were established for Koshu grapes in Yamanashi Prefecture, and 200 kg of porous fertilizer (calcium compost) according to the present invention was applied to the experimental plot according to the present invention, and 200 kg of porous fertilizer (calcium compost) was applied to the experimental plot, and no fertilizer was applied to the control plot.

The results were as follows.

Yield t/a Sugar content experimental plot 2.8 1.8 degrees Control plot 2.0 15 degrees Example 2 A test similar to Example 1 was conducted on spinach in Kanagawa Prefecture.

The results after 14 days of application were as follows.

Yield (weight ratio) Experimental plot 23 Control plot 1.0 Example 3 In Shizuoka Prefecture, 200 kg/10 a of porous fertilizer according to the present invention was applied to tomatoes in an area where continuous cropping failure had occurred without replacing the soil. .

Even though it was only the second year, we were able to harvest a large quantity of full-bodied tomatoes with such a density that even the fifth row of tomatoes was submerged in water.

The tomatoes in the control plot had a specific gravity so low that they floated on water, similar to conventional tomatoes.

Although specific examples of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to these examples, and various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the broad spirit and scope of the present invention. Of course.
