## Abstract

A cultivating method for bean sprouts and green bean sprouts uses a compound represented by formula (1) or a compound represented formula (1) with a benzy adenine as a disinfectant, and the beans are soaked in water in which the disinfectant is dissolved, or the soaked beans are sprayed with the water; ##STR1## wherein, R represents hydrogen, sodium, potassium, methyl or ethyl. The cultivating method prevents rotting without growth inhibition.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method for cultivating bean and green bean sprouts comprising:
applying a disinfectant to a bean, a green bean, a bean sprout or a green bean sprout;
said disinfectant comprising a compound of formula (1) or a mixture of the compound of formula (1) and a benzyl adenine; ##STR3## wherein R represents hydrogen, sodium, potassium, methyl or ethyl.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The cultivating method of claim 1, wherein beans or green beans are soaked in water in which the disinfectant is dissolved, or the soaked beans or green beans are sprayed with the water in which the disinfectant is dissolved.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The cultivating method of claim 1, wherein the disinfectant is used in the amount of 2.5.about.200 mg per 1 Kg of dry beans.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The cultivating method of claim 1, wherein the disinfectant comprising 2.5.about.200 mg of the compound of formula (1) 4.about.11 mg of benzyl adenine is used per 1 Kg of dry beans.

### Claim 5

A method for disinfecting bean and green bean sprouts comprising:
applying a disinfectant to a bean, a green bean, a bean sprout or a green bean sprout;
said disinfectant comprising a compound of formula (1) or a mixture of the compound of formula (1) and a benzyl adenine; ##STR4## wherein R represents hydrogen, sodium, potassium, methyl or ethyl.
