  • Method for disposing waste
    Patent number: 6365384
    Abstract: A method for disposing waste such as agricultural waste, sludge, livestock excreta, food and residue, is disclosed. The method includes the steps of a mycelial carrier-support comprising 80-95% by weight of a porous carrier of 3-30 mesh in particle size in the state of pH of 6.5-9.5. The carrier can be charcoal, active carbon, coal, coke, active coke, peat, palmculite, and bentonite. Furthermore, a thermophile is used as the main bacterial ingredient, such as Bacillus subtilis. Fungi are also part of the carrier-support. The fungi include Thermoactinomyces, Thermonospora, Actinbifida and Thermopolyspora.

  • Plant activator and mycelial fertilizer and method
    Patent number: 5529597
    Abstract: This invention relates to a plant activator, a mycelial fertilizer, and a method of producing the fertilizer. The essential component of the activator and the fertilizer is purified pyrolignous acid. The plant activator includes 80-97 parts by weight of purified pyrolignous acid and 3-20 parts by weight of saccharide containing glucose. The mycelial fertilizer having purified pyrolignous acid includes predominant thermoactinomyces as mycelium. The mycelium is obtained by incubation and fermentation on a porous carrier while a pH of 7.5-9.5 is maintained. The plant activator revives plants weakened by stress. The mycelial fertilizer and method of producing that fertilizer includes predominant thermoactinomyces which beneficially affect farm products.

  • Mycelial fertilizer
    Patent number: 5196042
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a mycelial fertilizer that is characterized in method, and the objects thereof are to provide a mycelial fertilizer wherein the mycelial fertilizer containing mainly thermactinomyces is carried on a specified carrier to contribute the metabolites of the thermoactinomyces and the decomposition products of the thermoactinomyces to the growth of plants as effective fertilizers in soil, and to provide a method of producing the mycelial fertilizer.
