[0011]

The container for cultivating a plant is made of a wooden member. Wood has conduits that carry water and nutrients to the wood, and even if it is dried, it contains some residual moisture.When this wood is immersed again in water or other liquid, the liquid is taken into the wood by capillary action through the conduit. It is. Then, under a dry atmosphere, breathing is repeated by repeatedly absorbing and discharging a liquid, which is discharged to the outside. Then, when the dried wood is immersed in an aqueous solution containing a microbial agent contributing to plant activation, the microbial agent is taken into the wood together with moisture.
Then, when a plant is cultivated by filling a culture medium such as a culture soil for plant cultivation in a container for plant cultivation composed of wood containing the microbial agent, the microbial agent in the wood is transferred to the medium and taken into the plant. And act to activate the plant.

Lactic acid bacteria and yeasts, especially Lactobacillus (Lact
A high concentration microbial agent containing a lactic acid bacterium belonging to the genus Obacillus and a yeast belonging to the genus Saccharomyces particularly contributes significantly to plant activation, and has an effect of promoting plant growth and increasing resistance to disease. .

High concentration microbial agents containing yeast belonging to the genus Charomyces) are preferred. Here, the high concentration microbial agent is
The total number of isolated bacteria is approximately 10 ⁶ to 10 ¹¹ (CFU /
ml) refers to the microbial agent contained.

As a method for producing such a high-concentration microbial agent, there is, for example, a method for growing soil microorganisms described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5-49468. According to this method, humus (humic acid) containing soil microorganisms and water are put into humus at a weight ratio of 1: 2 and water is sufficiently mixed. After one day, the mixture is filtered twice to obtain a soil microorganism extract.
This soil microorganism extract has an acidity of pH 2-3. A dilute sodium hydroxide solution was mixed with the soil microorganism extract to adjust the pH to 7, and iron ions were precipitated and removed. An aqueous sodium alginate solution was added thereto, followed by stirring and mixing to produce a soil microorganism extract in a sol state. Extract 2-3 from the pores
Soil microorganisms are retained in the interior of a bead having a surface gelled by dropping into an aqueous solution containing a multivalent metal ion.
It is possible to increase the concentration of the soil microorganisms retained inside the beads in the form of beads gelled to the inside to 10 ¹⁰ to 10 ¹¹ (cells / g) by leaving the medium in a growth medium containing trivalent metal ions. it can.

The high-concentration microbial agent used in the present invention is, for example, Hydem (registered trademark) manufactured by Masaki Envek Co., Ltd.

Examples Next, examples using Hydem (registered trademark) manufactured by Masaki Envek Co., Ltd. as the high-concentration microbial agent will be described. The wooden container for plant cultivation as shown in FIG. 1 is immersed for 24 hours to 3 days in a stock solution of a liquid high-concentration microbial agent, Super-Hidem or a 100-fold diluted aqueous solution, taken out, and naturally dried to obtain the present invention. , A container for plant cultivation was obtained. Fill the obtained container for plant cultivation with a medium consisting of culture soil for plant cultivation,
An aqueous solution obtained by diluting the stock solution of Super Hydem 100- to 500-fold was sprayed, and the state of the plant was monitored.

Example 1 The container for plant cultivation obtained above was filled with pig manure compost, and a stock solution of Super Hydem
A twice-diluted aqueous solution was sprayed, strawberries were planted here, watered regularly as in normal cultivation, and the state of growth was monitored. The results show that the powdery mildew did not occur and that the bean manure was good compared to the comparative example in which the container for plant cultivation and Super Hydem were not sprayed. In particular, it was highly evaluated in terms of the fact that the sugar content increased and that it was popular with consumers, and that it was a completely multi-harvest type. Furthermore, compared to the example using a container other than the container for plant cultivation according to the present invention, when using the container for plant cultivation according to the present invention, the above effects are maintained for a long time, as described above Initially, only the Super Hydem solution was sprayed on the medium, and thereafter, the above-mentioned effect was obtained only by ordinary watering.

(Example 2) In Example 1, instead of swine manure compost, 3 kg of chicken manure compost was used for Super Hydem 50
Spray 1 liter of double-diluted aqueous solution to reduce humus
Twenty percent of the mixture was used as a medium, peppers were planted in the medium, and the seedlings were sprayed on the leaves with a 1000-fold aqueous solution of Super Hydem, and the state of growth was monitored. As a result, while the comparative example was planted 60 days after seedling production, in the case of the present example, planting was possible 44 days and 16 days earlier. Also, in the comparative example, the first test harvest was performed 92 days after the seedling production, whereas in the case of the present example, the first test harvest was performed 61 days after the seedling production, One month earlier. Further, in the comparative example, only the first 6 kg of harvest was obtained 4 months after the seedling was cultivated.
At the same time, a total of 110 kg was harvested seven times. The height of the seedlings was 25 to 35 cm in the comparative example, whereas the height in the present example reached 54 to 66 cm.

Example 3 In Example 1, an aqueous solution obtained by diluting a stock solution of Super Hydem 200 times was sprayed to form a medium, and potatoes were planted on this medium to observe the occurrence of scab. . The results show that the disease incidence in the comparative example was 30.
In the case of the present example, the disease incidence rate was only 2 to 10%, while it was ４０40%.

[0026]

According to the container for plant cultivation and the tool for plant cultivation according to the present invention, as described above, the plant can be activated and the growth of the plant can be promoted to prevent diseases. Vegetables also grow large, the yield increases, and the microbial agent contained in the wood constituting the container for plant cultivation gradually shifts to the culture medium, and the above-mentioned effect is maintained for a long time. Since it does not use any chemicals such as organic and agricultural chemicals, it is harmless to the human body, has no problem of waste plastic, and has an extremely good and excellent effect on the global environment.
