1 The Effective Usage of and the Social Effects given by its Popularization 16 th September 211 M.Murabayashi A. Back Ground : Realization of Environmentally friendly and Sustainable Agriculture. Global Environmental Preservation. B. means : Chipped Char made from unused thinned woods of Japanese cedars, cypresses or Bamboos of abandoned Bamboo groves. C. Feature of as effective for Soil Improvement material : 1 st - To encourage the aggregate structure of soil. The field soil become soft which enable it to maintain the balance of gas phase, liquid phase and solid phase. 2 nd - To propagate the effective micro-organism in soil. Porous supplies living place to Micro-organism, as it symbiotic with agricultural crops. Effective micro-organism propagates more and decomposes organic fertilizers which provides nutrient element that needs for the crops to grow. 3 rd - To generate synergistic effects. Crops develop hair roots which absorb sufficient nutrient element and water to grow better. Able to achieve high quality of Agricultural products such as increasing2 crop yield and its taste.

9 Test cultivation for Vegetables by applying Bamboo ( Open field culture ) Komatsuna plot : Organic fertilizer Test plot : (Bamboo) 1L / m 2 : Organic fertilizer Spinach Radish Carrot 22% increased 18% increased 4% increased 9% increased Fig-23 Picture showing result of Test Cultivation for Vegetables 17 Result of Test cultivation 1. shall be applied together with to get its effect. 2. Only for the guide at present,the amount of to be applied shall be approx. 8. L/ m2 (wood 1.kg/ m2 Bamboo 1.5kg/ m2 ) 5%~ %~1% for container or pot. 3. The effect of application was maintained for approx.6 years so far. 4. No barrier to growth for crops even if amount of application of reaches up to 4g/m 2 and 3cm in depth. 5. The cost of enable savings by cropping on exclusive use chine for every crop at field, because there is no loss of. 6. No replant failure so far. 7. and organic fertilizer shall be applied approx. one month before for first time cropping. 8. The cost of occupying in the total product cost is very low, because its sustainability of applying effect is expected long term. 18

10 Conclusion Cultivating with and Organic fertilizers, not applying chemical fertilizers. Cultivating without or with minimum Agrichemicals. Reducing Co 2 emission by reducing of Fossil fuel consumption. Isolating Co 2 in soil by fixing of Inorganic carbon into soil. Absorbing of surplus chemical fertilizer and Agrichemical by adsorptive property of. To eliminate use of Chemical fertilizer and Agrichemical in agriculture. To create the recycling society leading the revitalization for district. To attain the agriculture leading achievement of preventing Global worming and River shed Environmental Conservation. 19 2
