The soil improvement material of the present invention is characterized by being a fermentation composition containing (A) a fermentation base material, (B) refined molasses, (C) water, and (D) deep sea water. This makes it possible to provide a soil improvement material in which the diversity of microorganisms in the soil and their activity value are improved. Furthermore, since the diversity of microorganisms is improved, the ability to decompose organic matter can be improved. The soil improvement material of the present invention can also promote the fermentation of compost, and can also be used as a compost fermentation promoter.

[0015] The compost (including bokashi) of the present invention is characterized by having a soil improvement material which is a fermentation composition containing (A) a fermentation base material, (B) refined molasses, (C) water, and (D) deep sea water, and one or more selected from the group consisting of (E) bamboo powder, (F) animal-derived feces compost, and (G) rice bran. This makes it possible to provide a compost that improves the diversity and activity of microorganisms in the soil. Furthermore, since the diversity of microorganisms is improved, the ability to decompose organic matter can be improved. Furthermore, a fermentation base material can be further added to the compost of the present invention in addition to the soil improvement material. This makes it possible to further increase the effectiveness of the fermentation base material.

[0016] The method for producing a soil improvement material of the present invention is characterized by containing (A) a fermentation base material, (B) refined molasses, (C) water, and (D) deep sea water, and fermenting them. This provides a method for producing a soil improvement material that can improve the diversity and activity of microorganisms in soil. In addition, the improved diversity of microorganisms can improve the ability to decompose organic matter.

[0017] Furthermore, in the present invention, the fermentation substrate (A) can be used as a normal soil improvement material, and is not particularly limited as long as it can obtain the effects of the present invention, but it is preferable that the fermentation substrate (A) is a fermentation composition containing corn starch (especially non-genetically modified corn), beet sugar (especially non-genetically modified sugar beet), pearl barley, fruit and plant extracts (extracts from apples, pears, grapes, strawberries, loquats, aloe arborescens, carrots, cabbage, green papaya, figs, melons, pineapples, pine needle sprouts, etc.), matcha, defatted wheat germ, soybeans used for microbial culture (especially non-genetically modified), barley, polished rice, and brown sugar culture liquid. As the fermentation substrate (A), for example, Super ER (registered trademark) Gold (manufactured by Sunroute Co., Ltd., conforming to the organic JAS standard: registration number JASOM-160301) can be used.

[0018] In addition, in the present invention, the refined sugar molasses (B) can be used as a normal soil improvement material and is not particularly limited as long as the effects of the present invention can be obtained. For example, refined sugar molasses (manufactured by Seiyu Kogyo Co., Ltd.) can be used.

[0019] Furthermore, in the present invention, the water (C) can be used as a normal soil improvement material, and is not particularly limited as long as the effects of the present invention can be obtained. For example, purified water, ion-exchanged water, etc. can be used.

[0020] Furthermore, in the present invention, the (D) deep sea water refers to ocean water at a depth of 200 m or less where sunlight does not reach, and can be used as a normal soil improvement material. There are no particular limitations on the type of material used as long as it can provide the effects of the present invention. For example, deep sea water collected from Akazawa, Izu, can be used.

[0021] In addition, in the present invention, the bamboo powder in the above stage (E) is a normal bamboo powder compost, and is not particularly limited as long as it can obtain the effects of the present invention, but it is preferable that it is about 5 mm in size in order to obtain the effects. By using bamboo powder, which is inherently difficult to decompose, as in the present invention, it can be used as compost or bokashi fertilizer, and can also be useful in solving the problem of abandoned bamboo forests.

[0022] In the present invention, the (F) animal-derived fecal compost is not particularly limited as long as it is a normal compost derived from cows, pigs, chickens, etc. and can provide the effects of the present invention.

[0023] Furthermore, in the present invention, the (G) rice bran can be used in ordinary compost and is not particularly limited as long as it can provide the effects of the present invention, and commercially available products can be used.

[0024] The present invention can also be used as a soil improvement material, which can be used to improve soil, and is primarily used for soil improvement, but is also used to promote fermentation of compost, for bokashi (mixing), and for making compost. In order to enhance the effects of the present invention, it is preferable to mix organic matter and other residues that take time to decompose immediately after harvesting, and then use the soil improvement material or compost immediately after. This can further enhance the effects of the present invention.

(2) Refined molasses 500cm 3 Add 250cm of water at about 60°C. 3 Add and mix. (3) In addition, 5000 cm of water at about 60°C is poured into 3 The molasses was dissolved by adding water. (4) 750 cm 3 of water and bring the temperature to about 34°C. (5) Deep sea water was added and mixed. After confirming that the temperature had dropped below 34°C, the fermentation substrate (Super ER® Gold) was added and mixed. (6) A heater and pump were installed, a mesh cloth was placed over the mixture, and after the bubbles due to fermentation were confirmed, the heater and pump were removed and the soil improvement material was produced.

[0028] (Experimental Example 1) (Soil microbial diversity and activity measurement) (Measurement sample) The soil microbial diversity and activity of bokashi fermented using the soil improvement material of Example 1, rice bran, and bamboo powder were measured under the following conditions, except for (4) which contained only bamboo powder. The results are shown in Figures 1 to 5. (1) Soil improvement material of Example 1 + bamboo powder + rice bran (2) The soil improvement material of Example 1 was mixed with bamboo powder and rice bran in a ratio of 1:3. (3) Soil improvement material of Example 1 + bamboo powder (4) Bamboo powder only

[0029] (Soil microbial diversity and activity measurement) (Measurement method) The measurements were conducted by DGC Technology Co., Ltd.

[0030] Figures 1 to 4 are photographs showing the measurement results of the soil microbial diversity and activity values ​​of the above measurement samples (1) to (4). From the photographs and soil microbial diversity and activity values ​​of Figures 1 to 4, it can be seen that the use of the soil improvement material of Example 1 was able to improve the microbial diversity and activity value in the soil.

[0031] Example 2 (Compost production) (1) Rice bran (1.2 tons) was loaded onto a tire shovel. (2) 22 tons of cow manure compost was mixed with rice bran and turned over. (3) The soil improvement material of Example 1 (3.1 L) was diluted 500 times. (4) The diluted soil improvement material of Example 1 was sprayed with a power sprayer while turning over and mixing. (5) The fermentation progress was checked, the mixture was turned periodically, and the mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature to produce compost.

[0032] (Experimental Example 2) (Organic matter decomposition test) (Measurement sample) Under the following conditions, the soil improvement material of Example 1, rice bran, and bamboo powder were used to measure the ability to decompose organic matter such as eggs (protein and fat) and potato starch (carbohydrates). The results are shown in Figures 6 and 7. The following values ​​indicate the mixing ratios. (1) Bamboo powder (5mm or less) (2) Soil improvement material of Example 1 1: Bamboo powder (5 mm or less) 1: Rice bran 1 (3) Soil improvement material of Example 1 1: Bamboo powder (200 μm or less) 1: Rice bran 1 (4) Soil improvement material of Example 1 1: Bamboo powder (200 μm or less) 1: Rice bran 3 (5) Soil improvement material of Example 1 1: Bamboo powder (200 μm or less) 1

[0033] (Organic matter decomposition test) (Measurement method) The above sample was added to eggs and mixed and stirred, and after 18 hours, boiling water was added and the decomposition power was measured one hour later. In addition, an equal amount of water and potato starch were mixed and stirred, and boiling water was added and mixed to make arrowroot flour, and the above sample was added to this and mixed and stirred, and the decomposition power was measured after 18 hours.

The above sample (2) of the soil improvement material 1 of Example 1 and the same amount of rice bran as bamboo powder of 5 mm or less had the best decomposition ability. In addition, when mixing rice bran, it was better to use the same amount as bamboo powder. Furthermore, when mixing bamboo powder, it is not necessarily better to use small bamboo powder, but about 5 mm was better. From this, it was possible to improve the diversity of microorganisms and the decomposition ability of organic matter by using the soil improvement material of the present invention.
