CULTIVATION OF FUNCTIONAL AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS BY SPRINKLING ORE POWDER CONTAINING GERMANIUM WHILE RADIATING FAR INFRARED RAYS ON AGRICULTURAL-CULTIVATION AREAS AND GRAZING HERBIVOROUS ANIMALS THEREON

摘要

PURPOSE: A method of cultivation of functional agricultural products selected from rice, fruits and vegetables by sprinkling ore powder containing germanium while radiating far infrared rays on agricultural-cultivation areas and then grazing herbivorous animals thereon is provided. It increases the yield of rice crop plants by about 30%, prevents the acidification of soil and accumulation of pesticides in rice and permits continuous cropping of paddy rice for a long period of time. CONSTITUTION: Functional agricultural products are cultivated using ore powder containing germanium while radiating far infrared rays. In the cultivating method, the natural ore is crushed to 200 to 325meshes, less than 0.5kg crushed ore per pyeong as a unit of area is sprinkled on areas for the cultivation of agricultural products, herbivorous animals eating sprouts of weeds as a staple food are then grazed thereon. Thereafter, 60 to 70% by weight of a pyroligneous acid solution, 30 to 35% by weight of charcoal powder and 10 to 15% by weight of unpolished rice vinegar are mixed and sprayed thereon. The herbivorous animals are one of a freshwater snail, loach, crab and duck.
