Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a life-saving agent for cut flowers, and more particularly to a tablet type effervescent life-saving agent for cut flowers.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a cut flower life-prolonging agent, a so-called liquid type, in which a high-concentration liquid life-prolonging agent containing a life-prolonging component is used, and a powder-like life-prolonging agent are put into water of a vase. There is a so-called powder type life-saving agent for cut flowers.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned liquid type life prolonging agent, it is necessary to measure and dilute so as to have a predetermined concentration. It was necessary to stir to be uniform. Further, in such a case, the bag may be cut off during an operation such as dilution, and the room is often contaminated or the undiluted solution adheres to the clothes and is often contaminated.

On the other hand, in the case of the powder-type life-prolonging agent, it takes time for the life-prolonging component to dissolve, so it is necessary to stir the mixture in order to accelerate the dissolution, and moreover, the powder-like life-prolonging agent is added to the bottom of the vase (vase) or the water surface. In many cases, the agent did not dissolve and remained or floated.

By the way, conventionally, carbon dioxide is generally essential for carbon dioxide assimilation in plants, and by supplying this to plants, it is effective in promoting the assimilation and promoting plant growth and life prolongation. Has been reported ("Practical Encyclopedia of Plant Production Systems", pp. 81-88,
Fuji Techno System Co., Ltd.).

However, none of the above-mentioned conventional liquid-type and powder-type life prolonging agents exist for the purpose of supplying such carbon dioxide gas in the actual situation.

In view of the present situation, the present invention measures, dilutes, and dilutes the life-extending agent of the conventional liquid or powder type.
To provide a life-prolonging agent that can be easily dissolved in water in a vase and can supply carbon dioxide gas to cut flowers by simply putting only one tablet in the vase without requiring operations such as stirring. With the goal.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems and objects of the prior art,
An effervescent cut flower prolonging life tablet comprising a cut flower prolonging life component and a foaming component consisting of a carbonate and a water-soluble solid acid.

The composition of the effervescent cut flower prolonging life tablet of the present invention will be specifically described below.

In the present invention, as described above, a carbonate and a water-soluble solid acid are used as the foaming component. Examples of the carbonate include lithium carbonate, sodium carbonate, ammonium carbonate, potassium carbonate, lithium hydrogen carbonate, Sodium hydrogencarbonate, potassium hydrogencarbonate, ammonium hydrogencarbonate, sodium sesquicarbonate, potassium sesquicarbonate, ammonium hydrogencarbonate, ammonium carbonate, and ammonium sesquicarbonate can be used, but other carbonates can also be used. is there. Also, these carbonates
They may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

Examples of the water-soluble solid acid include dicarboxylic acids such as oxalic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, glutaric acid, adipic acid, pimelic acid, fumaric acid, maleic acid, phthalic acid and isophthalic acid; glutamic acid. , Acidic amino acids such as aspartic acid; and oxy acids such as glycolic acid, lactic acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, citric acid, and mandelic acid can be used, but other water-soluble solid acids can also be used. These water-soluble solid acids may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

Further, the carbonate and the water-soluble solid acid undergo a neutralization reaction to generate carbon dioxide gas, and the foaming amount and the dissolution time are influenced by the ratio, so that these compounding ratios should be mixed in the same equivalent amount. Basically, it is possible to appropriately adjust the blending ratio in consideration of the target quality of the final product, the foaming effect, the dissolution time, and the like.

On the other hand, the cut flower prolonging life component used in the present invention includes nutrients such as carbohydrates such as sucrose, glucose and fructose, silver nitrate, silver acetate, silver thiosulfate and 8-hydroxyquinoline for the purpose of preventing water from spoilage. Bactericides such as 8-hydroxyquinoline sulfate, aluminum sulfate, copper sulfate, quaternary ammonium salt, thiobendazole, and slow-release chlorine compounds; Cytokinins such as benzylaminopurine, isopentyladenosine, and kinetin as aging inhibitors , A plant growth regulator consisting of auxins such as indole acetic acid and α-naphthyl acetic acid, growth inhibitors such as daminozide and chlormequat, and ethylene inhibitors such as aminooxyacetic acid; and pH adjustment, water spoilage prevention, etc. As a purpose, citric acid, Ascorbic acid, tartaric acid, and benzoic acid can be used. Other than these, other prolonging life components can be used as long as they are drugs showing a beneficial effect on the prolongation effect of cut flowers. Furthermore, these life-prolonging components may be used alone or in combination of two or more, depending on the intended cut flowers.

The foaming component and the life-prolonging component composed of such components are mixed and mixed, and the mixing ratios thereof are target quality of the final product, foaming effect, dissolution time, plant life-prolonging effect, and damage to plants. It is possible to appropriately select the blending ratio in consideration of the presence or absence of action. However,
When the proportion of foaming component increases, the dissolution time decreases, but
In order to secure a certain amount of life-prolonging component and to make a tablet of a compact size, the effervescent component: life-prolonging component should be about 6.5: 3.5 to 5.0: 5.0 by weight. Is preferred.

As described above, the powdery foaming component and the life prolonging component are mixed in a dry state (the mixing order is not particularly limited) and tablet-molded. At this time, the size of the tablet is The larger the surface area of the tablet, the shorter the dissolution time and the lower the hardness of the tablet. Therefore, considering that it cannot withstand impacts during transportation, and the diameter of the vase (vase), etc. preferable. The shape and dimensions of this tablet are not limited to a columnar shape, such as a prismatic shape and other shapes such as a cut flower life-prolonging agent.
Needless to say, it can be appropriately selected as long as it does not impair the various effects such as the dissolution effect and the foaming effect. Further, as the pressure during molding, if the pressure is too large, the dissolution time will be long, while conversely, if the pressure is too small, it will not be able to withstand the impact during transportation, so it is appropriate to select that range appropriately. .

Further, in addition to the foaming component and the life prolonging component,
Of course, other components such as a fragrance component, a dye, an excipient and the like can be used as appropriate.
