Abstract
Improved cation exchange zeolite crystalline and zeolite-like plant bed structures are disclosed, preferably saturated with water-based extracts of particular plant/herb materials exhibiting plant growth acceleration properties and synergistically providing also nutrient, and sometimes anti-microbial and insect and fungus repellent properties, as well, and with the adaptability to present the structures in solid, gel and liquid form.
Claims6
In the growing of plants in a zeolite crystal bed added to soil in which the plants are grown, and wherein the absence of watering has caused drying soil and accompanying deteriorating plant growth, a method of re-claiming the plant growth despite the deterioration of the plants, that comprises, adding an Artemesia plant nutrient extract aqueous solution that is substantially non-chemically reactive with zeolite to the zeolite crystal bed in sufficient quantity to saturate and coat the crystals, and thereby to reclaim and re-institute plant growth, and dispensing the coated zeolite crystals throughout the soil in volume ratios of soil to crystals of up to about 1 to 0.3.
Zeolite crystals for plant-growth promotion produced by pulverizing zeolite into a zeolite crystal bed, soaked to saturation throughout the bed by a water-based solution of an Artemesia plant extract having one or more of plant-growth promoting, nutrient, anti-bacterial and insect and fungus-repelling properties.
