Medium material selectively culturing prokaryote comprising rotting organic wastes and a method for cultivating crops using same
Abstract
The present invention relates to a medium material for selectively culturing prokaryotes comprising rotting organic wastes and a method for cultivating crops using same. Specifically, the present invention provides a medium material for selectively culturing prokaryotes, which activates not only blue-green algae of Anabaena sp or Nostoc sp. but also photosynthetic bacteria of Rhodopseudomonas sp. or Rhodospirillum sp. in soil. According to the method for cultivating crops selectively culturing prokaryotes of the present invention, actually the method for cultivating crops selectively culturing prokaryotes is popularized over broad arable land, cultivating of crops using prokaryotes is possible at relatively low cost."
