Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Disclosed are a soil diagnosis method for diagnosing soil using a cycle activity indicator which is calculated using the following factors (I) to (III): (I) the ammonia reduction rate in target soil; (II) the activity of forming phosphoric acid from phytic acid in the target soil; and (III) the activity of forming potassium from compost in the target soil, and (IV) the soil bacteria count in the soil; and a soil quality control method; and a soil improvement method.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A soil improvement method comprising: obtaining soil; measuring the following (I) to (IV): (I) an ammonia reduction rate in the soil based on an indophenol method, a leaching method using potassium chloride, or high-performance liquid chromatography; (II) an activity of forming phosphoric acid from phytic acid in the soil based on a molybdenum blue method or high-performance liquid chromatography; and (III) an activity of forming potassium from…
