Description

  The present invention provides a plant / soil active solution that can improve the yield, taste, appearance, etc. of harvested fruits, vegetables, grains, etc. by foliar spraying or soil irrigation, and can promote the growth and health of plants. It relates to a method and a method of use.

  Conventionally, various fertilizers and pesticides are commercially available, but even when crops are cultivated using these fertilizers and pesticides, continuous cropping failures frequently occur.

  Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention can avoid continuous cropping failure, and as a result, it can improve the yield, taste, appearance, etc. of harvested products such as fruits, vegetables, and grains, and can promote the growth of plants. In addition, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing and using a plant / soil active liquid that is satisfactory from the viewpoint of safety and economy.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the invention of claim 1 is directed to mineral fermented water using concentrated sulfuric acid, together with brown sugar produced from sugarcane, a fermented vegetable product containing an enzyme and a useful microorganism that produces the enzyme. It is a method for producing a plant / soil active liquid, characterized in that it is put into a co-cultivated culture under aerobic conditions.

  The invention of claim 3 is a plant characterized in that the plant / soil active solution produced by the method of claim 1 or 2 is foliarly sprayed and / or soil irrigated after saccharification and before the start of rot fermentation.・ Use of soil active liquid.

  The invention of claim 4 is the method of using the plant / soil active solution according to claim 3, characterized in that foliar spraying and / or soil irrigation is performed at the stage of alcoholic fermentation. It is.

When pesticides are applied, soil bacteria are killed and reduced, resulting in a lack of vitamins and enzymes that are nutrients produced by soil bacteria. In addition, continuous cropping of the same crop causes a continuous cropping disorder that lacks specific vitamins, minerals and effective trace elements.
On the other hand, when the plant / soil active solution of the present invention is used, useful microorganisms are actively activated to increase soil fungi, and abundant minerals such as calcium and potassium are directly supplied. The growth situation can be improved. Moreover, unlike conventional agricultural chemicals, it is satisfactory from the viewpoint of safety.

First, the starting material of the plant / soil active liquid will be described.
As a plant fermented product, a product obtained by blending an enzyme and a useful microorganism that produces the enzyme is used.
As an enzyme, it is preferable to use an extract extracted from a fruit or a plant. Plums, peaches, pine needle shoots, turmeric, wild strawberry, sawabiwa, wild grape, papaya, akebi, matabi, wild peach and the like are useful. In addition, it is preferable to use a small amount of wild strawberry, sawbiwa, wild grape, papaya, akebi, matababi, and mountain peach.
In addition, cereals can be used as a source of enzymes. For example, pigeon, barley, soybean, malt, rice, corn starch and the like are used. In addition, it is preferable to use soybeans and corn starch that have not been genetically modified.

Examples of useful microorganisms that produce enzymes include wild yeast, lactic acid bacteria, Koji bacteria, natto bacteria, and Mizuho species.
Furthermore, addition of VE, VC, selenium yeast, etc. as a coenzyme component, matcha tea, sucrose, vitamins, minerals, conventional materials, etc. is preferred.

The plant fermented product (semi-moist powder form) marketed under the trade name “Enzyme Source” from Sunroute Co., Ltd. (Fujieda City, Shizuoka Prefecture), the applicant of the present application, includes the above-mentioned raw materials (including preferred ones) The following component analysis data (example) is shown. Although this “enzyme source” is sold as a health food, it can be used as a plant fermented product in the method for producing a plant / soil active liquid of the present invention. In particular, the “enzyme source” is a preferred raw material in that it has both advantages as a liquid (rich in enzymes, microorganisms and fermentation products) and powder as an advantage (stable enzyme titer). .
The commercially available “enzyme source” has been heat-sterilized for drinking, but the present invention relates to a plant / soil active solution and is not necessarily drunk, so it is not always necessary to heat-treat. When not heat-treated, it is considered that the activity of microorganisms becomes more active.

  Brown sugar produced from sugar cane by a conventional method is used. Therefore, when using a commercially available product, use only the material whose name is sugarcane. Sugar cane 100% is preferred. Brown sugar contains nutrients for microorganisms, such as carbohydrates, dietary fiber, vegetable protein, vitamins, and minerals, in addition to those that become nutrients for microorganisms by sugar decomposition. Incidentally, when brown sugar other than sucrose, molasses and sugarcane was used, a useful plant / soil active liquid could not be produced.

Use mineral ion water with concentrated sulfuric acid. This mineral ion water is preferably used by dissolving mica with concentrated sulfuric acid to dissolve a sufficient amount of mineral in an ionized state. This is because minerals work as coenzymes. In the present invention, as the mineral ion water, for example, the trade name “Cimarox” commercially available from Shimaneshi Co., Ltd. can be used.

One preferred method for producing a plant / soil active solution will be described.
The mixing ratio of the starting materials is as follows.
In addition, it is necessary to maintain pH to such an extent that microorganisms can survive. In the present invention, since mineral ion water using concentrated sulfuric acid is used, it becomes acidic at pH = 5 or less, and it is usually considered that the activity of microorganisms is adversely affected. However, according to the present applicant, pH = 2. The survival of microorganisms has been confirmed even with a strong acidity of about 2.

The procedure is as follows.
(1) After boiling boiled fresh water (without chalk) is put in a non-metallic container and brought to 70-80 ° C., “Seamarox” (mineral ion water) is put into the container.
(2) Add brown sugar (sugar cane 100%) to a non-metallic container, dissolve it, and leave it to stand.
(3) Put the “enzyme source” (plant fermented product) in a container different from the above (1), and dissolve with an appropriate amount of fresh water.
(4) After the temperature of (2) has been lowered to 30 to 35 ° C., the liquid of the “enzyme source” produced in (3) above is placed in a non-metallic container and mixed. Be careful of temperature control because the enzyme is deactivated when mixed at high temperature.
(5) Cover the entrance of the non-metallic container with a covering cloth. The reason for covering with the smooth cloth is to co-cultivate the microorganisms under aerobic conditions.
(6) After that, stir about once a day. The temperature is preferably maintained at about 25 ° C.

When the culture is continued, fermentation proceeds as shown in FIG.
That is, glucose and fructose are first produced by saccharide decomposition, and then higher alcohol and amino acids are produced by alcohol fermentation as fermentation proceeds. As the fermentation further proceeds, acetic acid is produced by acetic acid fermentation.
In addition, when stirring in the course of fermentation, fine bubbles rise and float on the surface of the culture solution. As an indication of completion, saccharification has progressed, and in some cases, it is possible to visually recognize the presence of white colonies of useful microorganisms, especially yeast, and the spread of a thin white film. It has a smell of odor and sweet and sour lactic acid.
The completion period varies depending on the temperature of the culture solution, but is about 2 weeks when kept at about 25 ° C.

The storage period after completion is up to the acetic acid fermentation stage, and after that, septic fermentation proceeds, so it cannot be used as a plant / soil active solution. In addition, even when used as a plant / soil active solution in the acetic acid fermentation stage, the culture solution shows only the same function as the pyroligneous acid solution. Therefore, the preferred use period is the alcohol fermentation stage with strong activity.
The specific storage period is about 4 to 5 months in spring / autumn / winter, and about 3 months even in the summer. It is important to maintain aerobic conditions during this storage period and avoid contamination with foreign substances.

  The plant / soil active solution produced as described above can be kept in a state where only water is allowed to pass therethrough by putting the plant / soil active solution in a non-metallic container and further covering with an air permeable membrane. Therefore, it can be put on the distribution channel as a product in that state.

Explain how to use the plant / soil active solution.
Typical methods of use include foliar spraying and soil irrigation (pouring), but it is also useful to immerse the seeds in a plant / soil active solution in advance.
In either case, however, the plant / soil active solution is diluted with water before use. When heat-treated plant fermented material is used as a raw material, in the case of foliar application, various seedlings such as paddy rice are about 800 to 1200 times, fruits such as apples, cherries, pears, kiwi fruits, strawberries, carrots In the case of flowers such as spinach, tea, turkey, carnations, etc., about 400 to 700 times, in the case of soil irrigation, about 500 to 100 times in various seedlings, 1000 in fruits, vegetables, tea, flowers, etc. It has been confirmed that dilution at a magnification of about 1250 times is good. When the heat treatment is not performed, the activity of microorganisms becomes more active. Therefore, it is considered preferable to use a product further diluted by about 1.2 to 1.3 times.
In addition, soil irrigation includes not only field cultivation but also pots, planters, and vegetable gardens.

Comparative test of emergence of paddy rice seed (Koshihikari) (2002)
The following materials were used.

1,000 seeds (Koshihikari) per test area were treated in March 2002 under the following conditions.
Immersion: March 1-8 (15 ° C x 8 days)
Germination: March 9-10 (30 ° C x 2 days)
Survey: March 11 As a result, the emergence status was as follows.

From this result, it was confirmed that when the plant / soil active solution of the present invention was used, the germination rate and germination rate of the seed potato increased. These effects are considered that the germination inhibitory enzyme was decomposed by the enzyme reaction, the water absorption of the seed pod was improved, or the two actions worked together.

Comparison test of rice seedling growth (2002)
On April 12, 140 g / box of Koshihikari was sown, and the following materials were sprayed once during the greening period (April 19 to 20).

Examination of the seedling raising situation revealed that the seed color of the casting test group (D-1) and the spray spraying test group (D-2, 3, 4) were slightly lighter than the seedlings of the untreated group (D-0). became. This is thought to be due to the increased metabolic effects of the seedlings.
In the sprayed test plot, the seedling blades were upright in the spray spray test plot (D-2, 3, 4) than in the casting test plot (D-1). In addition, the greater the spread amount, the greater the degree of uprightness.

Comparison test of rice growth (2003)
In test zone E, the treatment was as follows.
(1) Before seed pods (Koshihikari) were seeded into seedlings, they were immersed in a 1000-fold diluted solution of Super ER (approximately 10 ° C.) for 24 hours. At this time, in order to give sufficient water and oxygen, the soot seeds were immersed in such a degree that they did not overlap each other (ie, soy seeds / diluted solution = 1: 2 or more).
(2) Ten days before planting (rice planting) in seedlings, a 500-fold diluted solution of Super ER was sprayed on the leaves.
(3) One month after planting, the second foliar application was performed with the same diluent as (2) above.
(4) Immediately before heading, the third foliar application was performed with the same diluent as in (2) above.
The test area F is an untreated area (without using the super ER), but because it is located next to the test area E, there is a possibility that the super ER has flowed somewhat from the test area E.
The test area G is an untreated area like the test area F. However, in that area, it was set as a place called the first place.
For comparison, the amount of seed rice seedling per area was the same in all test plots.
And it was as follows when the growth condition just before harvesting was compared.

The total length differs mainly due to the difference between the 4th and 5th internode lengths.
There was concern about the damage caused by the typhoon that moved north in September 2003, but it is thought that the damage was minimized in the treatment area.

  For eustoma, carnations, apples, pears, kiwifruits, cherries, strawberries, apples, carrots, spinach, tea, etc., the use of the plant / soil active solution of the present invention improves the yield, taste, appearance, etc. Have been reported one after another.

The plant / soil active liquid produced by the method of the present invention produces alcohol when fermentation proceeds, but it cannot be consumed because concentrated sulfuric acid is unavoidably contained, and is not covered by the liquor tax law. Moreover, what can be obtained easily is used as a starting material. Therefore, the plant / soil active solution produced by the method of the present invention can be provided at a low cost.
Furthermore, the plant / soil active liquid produced by the method of the present invention is different from the conventional chemical fertilizer that is concerned about environmental pollution by residuals, and is an environmental conservation type.

It is a figure explaining the fermentation stage of a plant and soil active liquid, and the standard of use.
