The present invention relates to a top soil composition and a plant plant pot using the same, and more particularly, to an antimicrobial soil composition suitable for planting a horticultural plant and a plant plant pot using the same.

The urbanization of the living environment has resulted in an absolute shortage of green space in the city center and residential complexes, as well as the desire to improve the landscaping and environment of apartments and officetels. Home gardening and urban gardening that can take advantage of the narrow space inside are developing.

For a long time, researches and developments on soils useful for growing crops, such as water supply soils, have been conducted. In addition, interest in horticulture soils is increasing with the rapid change of living environment and living patterns.

Conditions that the topsoil must have: (1) good water retention and security; (2) good ventilation for root respiration; (3) soil acidity is close to neutral; (4) good blockiness (root entanglement); (5) have antimicrobial and bactericidal properties; And (6) lightweight and easy to handle; Etc. are required.

In the process of developing a clay composition that satisfies these conditions, various clays have been provided, which include a mixture of cocopit, peat moss, vermiculite, diatomaceous earth, zeolite and the like in powder form.

Cocopit is a fibrous material of tropical palm trees, which is chemically inert due to its high content of lignin, resistant to microbial penetration, stable in oxidizing conditions, and contains significant organic nutrients and trace elements. It is a dragon material. Unlike compost, since cocoite does not decompose for a long time, there is little concern about gas generation in the soil. Cocopit's water holding capacity is very high, 6 to 9 times the weight of dry matter, and the pore amount is as good as 96%.

Pittmoss is an organic material in which old types of anaerobes have been deposited anaerobicly, with large base substitution capacities (CEC) of 150 to 180 me / 100g, and pH of about 3.5 to 5.5. The water holding power is good, but if it is too dry, it is difficult to resorb, so excessive drying should be avoided.

Zeolite is a fine porous mineral of feldspar, which has excellent water holding capacity, high binding power and drainage power, and has high adsorption ability of harmful gases and harmful substances. It also prevents acidification of soil and contains nutrients such as K, Mg, and Ca.

However, despite the improved and diversified functions of conventional soils using these materials, they have problems that are not suitable for home gardening or indoor landscaping. There is a demand for the development of a functional clay composition that can grow easily, and can easily grow plants, even for office workers who have difficulty in carefully managing plants.

On the other hand, as shown in Figure 1, the conventional planting plant pot 10 used for indoor landscaping, etc., the drain hole 12 for aeration and drainage is formed on the bottom, the conventional topsoil composition 11 is to be retained If water is supplied in excess of the amount, water leakage through the drainage occurs and the surroundings are polluted. On the other hand, if the drainage is blocked, excessive watering, the root rot of the plant is caused by the growth of bacteria and pests after a certain period of time, or planted plants due to other pests do not grow healthy.

Therefore, in the case of the conventional pollen 10 having the drain 12, it is necessary to carefully manage the water supply cycle and the amount of water supply, and there is a closed end such as contamination due to water leakage. Efforts have been made to address these shortcomings, such as by improving the structure or adopting means for automatic water supply.

The present invention has been made to solve the problems of the conventional soil as described above, and in particular to provide a soil composition suitable for indoor landscaping or home gardening, has excellent water retention and breathability, contains sufficient nutrients, An object of the present invention is to provide an antimicrobial clay composition having excellent bactericidal power.

In addition, the present invention uses the antimicrobial clay composition having the advantage of suppressing the occurrence of root rot and other pests of the plant even if it is retained for a long time by supplying a large amount of moisture required for plant growth at a time, and also having such advantages It is an object of the present invention to provide a plant potted plant using an antimicrobial clay composition, which is easy to manage, as well as to keep the surrounding environment clean, by using a waterproof container having no drainage hole with the use of the clay composition.

In addition, because of having excellent antimicrobial properties, the topsoil composition according to the present invention is characterized by an increase in the composition ratio of coco peat and peat moss, which provides nutrients necessary for plant growth, compared with conventional topsoil.

In order to achieve this object, the topsoil composition according to the present invention is a mixture of cocoite, pitmos, zeolite and silicate minerals in an optimal ratio, and the silicate mineral contains various metal oxides, and especially TiO ₂ to provide excellent antibacterial activity. It is technical feature to have.

5 and 6 are photographs showing the antimicrobial activity of the antimicrobial clay composition according to the present invention. The photographs show the test results of KIFA. The strain used was Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 and the test was performed by KFIA-FI-1002 method. The sample used the silicate mineral which has the composition component and composition ratio shown in Table 1 of an Example. It can be seen that the bacterial concentration after 24 hours (photo of FIG. 6) was significantly decreased with the naked eye, as compared to the initial bacterial concentration (photo of FIG. 5). The addition of silicate minerals is 83.7%, showing the excellent antimicrobial activity of silicate minerals.

The reason why the clay composition according to the present invention exhibits such excellent antibacterial property is that TiO ₂ contained in a small amount in the silicate mineral acts as a photocatalyst. Photocatalysts are substances that accept light and promote chemical reactions. Semiconductor, pigments and chlorophyll are one of them. When TiO ₂ is exposed to ultraviolet rays such as sunlight or fluorescent light, negatively charged electrons and positively charged holes are formed like solar cells. Among them, the hole forms a hydroxide having a strong oxidizing effect and has a stronger oxidizing power than chlorine or ozone for sterilization. In addition, the electrons make oxygen ions adsorbed on the photocatalyst to oxygen ions, and these oxygen ions generate intermediates and peroxides in the oxidation reaction. These photocatalysts produce effects such as sterilization, water purification, air purification, pollution prevention and odor removal. TiO ₂ has a function of oxidatively decomposing harmful substances and is harmless to the human body, and the development of basic technology for solving environmental problems by using it is in progress.

Comparative Example

Under the same conditions as in the above example, the silicate mineral was replaced with zeolite. That is, the soil was composed of 42% by volume of cocopit, 40% by volume of peat moss, and 18% by volume of zeolite.

<Plant growth test>

Using the top soils of the examples and the comparative examples, and using two transparent containers of a rectangular shape without drainage holes, large-scale filaments were planted, and the growth state of the plants and the root rot phenomenon were observed. Transparent containers are used to observe root rot and water level. Planted lobar follicles were chosen to have a root of about 12 cm and four leaves with similar growth.

First, in the case of irrigation with an appropriate water supply at an appropriate time, both plants had good growth until 10 days after planting.

From the 11th day after planting, the growth state was observed while maintaining the water soaked up to about 1/4 of the roots through the transparent container.

As a result, the plant of Comparative Example began to show symptoms of root rot from 3 days after excessive irrigation began. After 5 days, the plants were collected and confirmed, and the root rot of the lower lobe turned dark brown. It was known that this was onset.

In contrast, the plants of the example using the antimicrobial clay composition according to the present invention did not show symptoms related to root rot until 20 days after excessive irrigation started.

The silicate mineral contained in the antimicrobial clay composition according to the present invention contains SiO ₂ and Al ₂ O ₃ as main components, and also includes CaO, MgO, Fe ₂ O ₃ , K ₂ O, Na ₂ O, in particular TiO _{2 It} is characterized by including. Silicate minerals containing these components purify strong acid or strong alkaline soils and contain small amounts of metal ions necessary for plant growth, thus facilitating plant root growth. In addition, as described above, since it has a strong antimicrobial activity by the photocatalytic action of TiO ₂ , it is stored for a long time in a plant planting container in a state in which a large amount of water is stagnant, and about one third of the roots is stored in the excess water accumulated in the lower part of the container. Even if locked, plant root rot does not occur.

The antimicrobial clay composition according to the present invention can be seen that the composition ratio of the cocoite is significantly higher compared to the conventional clay composition containing 10 to 20% by volume of cocoite. Coco pits are organic fibers, and the composition ratio has been limited due to poor breathability in the lower layer where the fiber is decomposed by decay, fermentation, etc. after long-term use, accumulated in the lower layer, and the plant roots are concentrated. However, since the topsoil composition according to the present invention has excellent antimicrobial power, it is possible to increase the composition ratio of cocoite to supply sufficient nutrition to the plant. Therefore, it is possible to supply sufficient nutrients only with the present topsoil composition, without the need to supply a separate fertilizer, and the plant management is facilitated by extending the splitting cycle.

Plant planting method using the antimicrobial soil composition according to the present invention does not occur even if a large amount of moisture at a time, root rot disease, etc., the inconvenience of frequently watering the planted plant is eliminated.

In addition, the container used in the method is characterized in that the waterproof container without the drain, it is possible to prevent the living environment from being contaminated due to leakage through the drain. It is not necessary to install a pot stand to prevent the surroundings from being polluted by water leakage, and it is possible to install a pot even in a place where the pot was difficult to install. Furthermore, the waterproof container can be used as it is by blocking the drain holes formed in the existing flower pots using silicone, or since there is no drain hole, it can be carried out in the form of wall-type flower pots or simple flower bed-type flower pots with various aesthetics. .
