Method for treatment of top soil of a field with ozone gas to increase growth of plants

摘要

An ozone containing gas is injected into a portion of top soil that was previously oversaturated with water, to stimulate the propagation and growth of living organisms. The injected ozone oxidizes at least one molecule (also called "parent molecule") in the top soil to create at least one byproduct that is smaller than the parent molecule. The small size of such byproducts allows the byproducts to cause the growth of living organisms (such as plants including fungi and tomatoes). The byproducts can be used to grow a fungi (such as Trichoderma, spp.) that is (1) parasitic to detrimental fungi such as fusarium or is (2) a stimulant for chlorophyll-bearing plants, or is both. The byproducts can also be used to directly grow the chlorophyll-bearing plants. An ozone containing gas can be injected via a soil injector connected to an ozone supplier that is either stationary or is moved over a field, e.g. by a vehicle. Alternatively, top soil in a field can be injected with gaseous ozone by an arrangement of conduits, or can be transferred to a chamber for in-vitro treatment. The ozone containing gas can include carbon dioxide that competes with ozone for interaction with the soil molecules and thereby preserves ozone.
