Eco-friendly method using live algae for natural greening
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11963485B2) discloses a natural invasion promoting method that involves spraying a material containing live algae on a soil surface. The live algae, dried at a temperature of 60°C or less and pulverized, is applied at a rate of 30 g/m2 or less based on its dry weight. The method includes breeding the live algae and utilizing a tacky substance secreted on the algae’s surface or a catching structure made of the algae to capture flying seeds or spores, facilitating greening on the soil surface. The catching structure is described as a three-dimensional network formed by entwining filamentous or randomly overlapping algae structures.
Additionally, the patent mentions the inclusion of a killed algae product, obtained through a killing treatment, along with the live algae in the spraying material. This killed algae product contains protein and components like carbohydrates, lipids, and ash. The spraying material may also contain a tackifier to enhance its effectiveness. The method aims to promote natural invasion by allowing flying seeds or spores to flow onto the soil and be captured by the tacky substance or the three-dimensional catching network structure during the process. Overall, the patent outlines a comprehensive approach to utilizing live algae in promoting greening and natural invasion on soil surfaces, highlighting specific techniques and components to achieve the desired results.
