Functions and effects : Soil conditioner "Super AKANE ST <small>ST</small>" : Agricultural materials

Improvement of soil in short period

Formation of humus soil will be enhanced. Good structure of soil shall be made and the power of soil will be improved in short period.

Protection crops from damages

The properties of soil such as keeping water, draining water, and aeration will be improved. Damages for crops by high density of fertilizer and salt in soil shall be avoided.

Endurable against insects causing damages and unseasonable weather

Soil will be improved to make good environment for producing crops even in troubles of insects, heavy rain, low temperature, and lack of sunshine.

Stable yield

Roots will grow firmly so that the plants themselves grow healthy from their early phase to the crop season. Troubles caused by continuous planting shall be disappeared year by year and finally the yield will increase.

Enhancing growth of roots

Improving the soil enhances roots’ growth.

※It is necessary to observe carefully and add proper manure or fertilizer, especially nitrogen must be put more than usual.

Good ripening

Paddy plants with strong stems will not fail. Good crops will be expected.

Better quality of crops

Tastes of fruits and vegetables shall be improved. Excellent quality of crops of the sweeter taste and longer shelf life is expected.

Test 1 : Promotion of fermentation

Left (Control) : paddy straws and field soil in 700ml of purified water
Right (Test) : paddy straws, field soil and 7g of “Super AKANE ST” in 700ml of purified water

Paddy straws and field soil taken from a field were put into bottles respectively and 7g of “Super AKANE ST” was added in the test bottle. The picture was taken 13 days later. In the right bottle fermentation was advanced and the paddy straws sank because the cellular walls of straws were decomposed by fermentation and the water permeability was increased. “Super AKANE ST” activated microbes and promoted the organic fermentation.

Test 2 : Roots growth

Left (Control) : 5 seedings grown without “Super AKANE ST”
Right (Test) : 5 seedlings grown with “Super AKANE ST”

Pumpkin seeds were planted in two nursery boxes. “Super AKANE ST” was spread on the soil of the test plot. 18 days later the plants were dug up for observing their roots growth. The roots of the plants in test box grew better. The longer and bulky roots mean the more amount of nutrition, water and oxygen can be absorbed.

Test 3 : Shelf life

Left (Control) : egg plants grown without “Super AKANE ST”
Right (Test) : egg plants grown with “Super AKANE ST”

The picture was taken 14 days after placing crops at room temperature. The egg plants of control plot began to rot but the products in test plot kept the fresh quality without decay. The cellular structure of products grown in the soil used “Super AKANE ST” are fine and firm, which expects the longer shelf life.
