Method for encouraging budding from growing point of plant, for inhibiting apical bud growth, and for increasing number of lateral shoots, and substances made by and used in the method

A method for encouraging budding from a growing point of a plant, for inhibiting apical bud growth, and for increasing the number of lateral shoots, comprising the steps of:

• raising larvae of rhinoceros beetles with wood particle-based humus soil in order to obtain excrement produced by the larvae of the rhinoceros beetles after feeding during growth, and thereby obtain substances capable of promoting a physiological change in the plant, wherein the excrement comprises digested special compounds, digested microbial products, and digested enzymes;
• and
• causing a physiological phenomenon of the plant with the excrement and the wood particle-based humus soil adjacent to where the larvae are raised, or with a solvent extract of the excrement, in order to effect a desired change in the plant, wherein the physiological phenomenon is budding, budding laterally, suckering, ramets, inhibited apical dominance accompanied by fasciculation, or a physiological phenomenon causable by a plant hormone.
