Abstract

Afin de traiter des dommages du sol, notamment de sols de culture, et de plantes dus à des influences de l'environnement, on décrit un procédé et un agent de traitement de plantes endommagées, l'agent contenant au moins un sel de magnésium, au moins un hydrate de carbone, au moins un sel d'un acide polyhydroxymonocarboxylique ou dicarboxylique et au moins un extrait végétal. L'agent répandu sur le sol ou sur les feuilles des plantes régénère le sol, le transformant en un isotope idéal, et remédie à l'approvisionnement perturbé des plantes en substances nutritives.In order to treat damage to the soil, in particular to cultivated soils, and to plants due to environmental influences, a method and an agent for treating damaged plants are described, the agent containing at least one magnesium salt, at least one carbohydrate, at least one salt of a polyhydroxymonocarboxylic or dicarboxylic acid and at least one plant extract. The agent spread on the soil or on the leaves of plants regenerates the soil, transforming it into an ideal isotope, and remedies the disturbed supply of nutrients to plants.

Description

SOIL IMPROVEMENT AND LEAF FERTILIZER

The invention relates to a water-soluble soil conditioner and / or leaf fertilizer according to the preamble of claim 1, an application solution and a concentrate of this agent, and a method for treating damaged plants by means of the application solution. Such means are e.g. known from CH-PS 566 944, 609 661 or 613 437. However, they have little effect on the healing of environmental damage.

In the course of research into the causes of new types of forest damage, it can be observed worldwide that, despite continental emissions, certain geographical locations enjoy healthy, lush vegetation, in particular the coincidence of freshwater from the land with the tidal, onshore seawater, an optimal biotope for the development and maintenance of any organic life form forms. Depending on the climatic zones, the delta areas of the great rivers and streams of our earth are the most abundant vegetation areas. The coincidence of fresh water from the flowing rivers and streams with the saline sea water thus creates biological conditions which, provided that the climatic conditions are favorable, produce ideal values.

The invention has now set itself the task of creating a soil conditioner that comes close to such an ideal biotope in its effect on soil samples. This is surprisingly achieved by the composition specified in claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention are described in the dependent claims.

Any biologically compatible and inexpensive salt can be used as a magnesium donor, for example sulfate, acetate, and possibly also nitrate. But it can also be the magnesium salt of a polyhydroxy mono- or dicarboxylic acid be used. Such carboxylic acid is preferably gluconic acid, but also other relevant compounds, such as, for example, sugar acid.

As a carbohydrate donor - as known per se - beet pulp, molasses, honey, etc. come into question. If white sugar is used, the additive should be at the lower limit of the range specified; in the case of raw sugar or the other carbohydrate donors mentioned, the content can be in the middle or up to the upper limit of the range specified in claim 4.

Commercial extracts are suitable as plant extracts; The tea contents, in combination with the soil, result in a short time in the formation of a fungus culture of Ascomycetes argentinensis which has a very positive effect on the effect sought according to the invention.

Smaller amounts of the ingredients than they correspond to the lower limits of the specified ranges no longer show the effect according to the invention, or at least only insufficiently. Some of the ingredients should not be used beyond the upper limits of the specified ranges, as harmful effects, e.g. over-fertilization. Concentrations higher than the specified ranges can cause slight burns on the leaf edges, especially in fiber plants. In the case of other ingredients, in particular the plant extracts listed in claim 3, over-fertilization is only to be feared at very high proportions, and the limit results on the one hand from the costs and on the other hand from the fact that an increase beyond the ranges indicated in each case is only minimal or means no increase in effectiveness.

The ingredients seem to be fixed in the ground and are not washed out by rainwater. They make the plant a lot more resistant to pests, because the production of antibodies is favored. The plants also only need 30% of the amount of water they need to survive in the damaged state (with low efficiency!). The cells become permeable again and can transport the juices. The agent serves as a type of circulatory support for press juice circulation and thus also has a positive effect on photosynthesis. It supplies nutrient and oxygen to the tissue cells and removes waste products.

It is expedient if the plant extracts contain no or as small a proportion as possible of the plants listed in claim 4 which have been found to be ineffective or harmful.

The agent according to the invention should also not be mixed with conventional chemical herbicides or pesticides.

It can be spread all year round, but preferably not in blazing sunshine or frosty temperatures. However, the agent is harmless to bees and can also be applied during the flowering period.

The treatment of the root system is more intensive and quicker than that of leaf or needle fertilization. The natural community of the plant with vital soil fungi (mycorrhiza) is therefore activated with the simultaneous redevelopment of bacterial soil life. Micro fauna and flora are revitalized. The groundwater is not nitrated, since the fixation in the soil strongly prevents osmotic processes.

In order to strengthen the resistance of the plants and to prevent damage, use two or three times in higher dilution (1: 100) at intervals of each 5 to 8 days, first with the budding, then with the beginning of flowering and possibly during flowering, shown as particularly useful.

Aphids on potatoes, vegetables, fruit trees and shrubs, roses and shrubs do not appear at all or leave them after a short time. The beneficial organisms are not harmed. Bees and bumblebees are even attracted.

For fruits and vegetables, leaf sprays are also recommended before harvesting. Sprayed 2 to 3 times with the application solution according to the invention at intervals of 1-2 weeks, the shelf life e.g. the fruits improved considerably; for apple and pear, the scab is prevented.

Example 1;

In 850 ml of water, which is kept at 85-95 ° C, the following substances are added in the order given:

50 g Epsom salts (MgS04 x 7H20) 25 g calcium gluconate 50 g glucose

The solution is now cooled to 60 ^β C and further additions are made?

35 ml of tea infusion (5 g of crushed tea leaves, preferably Brazilian mate or Argentinian black tea (roasted mate) are added to 500 ml of boiling water, left to steep for 10-20 minutes and skimmed off); 5 ml of castor root stock (5 g of meal of the castor root (Myrecengenella apiculata rizosph.) Are placed in 500 ml of boiling water, left to steep for 10-20 minutes and skimmed off); 5 ml of castor leaf stock (5 g of shot of castor leaves and buds (Myrecengenella apiculata angiosp.) Are mixed in 500 ml given boiling water, let steep and skimmed for 10-20 minutes);

10 g of commercial cola extract;

10 g commercial seaweed extract;

10 g commercial nettle extract;

5 g commercial horse chestnut extract;

5 g commercial 20% birch leaf extract;

5 g commercial 60% eucalyptus extract;

5 g commercial 20% dandelion extract;

5 g commercial mistletoe extract.

This concentrate is used in forestry at a dilution of 1:50 for old trees; from 1:75 for young wood, as well as in wine and fruit growing; in a dilution of 1: 100 for horticulture.

Spruce needles, which no longer showed calcium oxalate in electron micrographs and whose osmotic system was completely disrupted, showed microorganisms again within a few weeks after treatment with the agent according to the invention.

For the one-off treatment of a large tree in the root area, about 35 liters of the specified application solution are necessary, which is sufficient for a recovery if the damage is below 60%. For trees with 60 to 90% damage, 2 to 3 treatments at intervals of 2-4 weeks are required. If the damage was originally very severe, the treatment is repeated once after 1 to 2 years.

Since a tree usually takes its last nourishment around the end of September / beginning of October and then only from the beginning of March, treatment in the meantime is not as effective as in the period from March to September.

The grassland fertilization produced particularly strong and healthy grasses; the meat quality of the grazing livestock significantly improved. In the case of treated garden fruits, a taste improvement or intensification was found. The fructose content of tomatoes treated with the agent according to the invention is increased by up to 30%.

Laboratory tests showed that carcinoma formation in the capillary system of the test plants could be brought to a standstill; there were no longer any metastases.

Example 2:

The mixture mentioned in Example 1 was prepared once without cola extract and once without seaweed extract. The potting soil, each consisting of 10 pieces of over 50% damaged azaleas, was mixed with 200 ml of a working solution, which was prepared from 1 part of the specified concentrate with 50 parts of water. Then watering was continued for 8 weeks with normal water. The azaleas treated with the agent according to Example 1 showed an 80-100% recovery, the azaleas treated with the two agents without cola extract or without sea layer extract showed only 0-10% recovery.

Example 3:

In several hundred experiments, the plant extracts were replaced by various combinations of extracts from the plants listed in claim 3, cola and seaweed extract always being retained. In all cases there was at least 30, mostly about 50, in some cases even up to 100% reduction in damage.

Example 4:

A larger forest area with infected or damaged trees should be treated. On an area of 1.5 ha there are 1311 trees with an average wood volume of 3.4 irr per tree. The primary treatment was carried out with 11 liters of an application solution from 1 liters of the concentrate from Example 1 with 50 liters of water per m ^{3 of} wood, that is to say with approximately 50,000 liters of solution. This solution was sprayed in 3 machine hours.

The secondary treatment was carried out at 8 1 per m, ie a total of approx. 35,000 1; the third treatment with 6 1 per m, i.e. a total of approx. 27,000 1 solution. In the second year, the damage to the trees had already decreased by an average of about 50%.

The person skilled in the art recognizes that, thanks to the invention, the changes in the soil attributed to environmental damage and culture-inhibiting changes, which are attributable to environmental damage, can also be reversed inexpensively and even practically sterile soil can be converted into an almost ideal biotope within a relatively short time. He also recognizes that the invention is just as inexpensive and simple to use in order to regenerate even the most severely damaged plants in their nutrient supply within a short time.
