Composition for stimulating plant growth and for improving plant preservation and method for preparing the same

Abstract

Disclosed is a composition useful for plant growth and vegetable preservation, comprising 2.25-5.13 moles of potassium silicate, 0.25-0.57 moles of sodium silicate and/or sodium hydroxy silicate, 1.98-5.59 moles of potassium carbonate, 0.22-0.51 moles of sodium carbonate and/or sodium bicarbonate, 0.25-0.75 moles of potassium chloride; and 0.45-0.84 moles of a reducing sugar. It can be prepared by solubilizing the components at such amounts in 1 liter of distilled water maintained at 80-90 ° C. through a sol-gel process, stirring the solution under the inflow of air while reducing the temperature of the solution to 18-90° C. at a rate of 4-6° C. per min, and allowing the resulting sol-gel phase to stand at room temperature for 24-36 hours. The composition stimulates the growth of plants as well as builds up the disease endurance of vegetables through its activity against plant bacteria. Also, it can restrain the soil from being acidified. It is safe to the body while having beneficial effects on agricultural products, including preservation extension, bacteria growth inhibition and texture sense improvement.
