PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a weed control material and its usage in which a cure period is short, initial strength development is high, a frost damage at early age and cracking resistivity are provided, the labor of mowing can be reduced, and thereby the persistence of weed control and environmental protection can be ensured.SOLUTION: (1) A weed control material contains cement, a calcium aluminate, a polymer for cement admixture and soil. (2) The weed control material of (1) further contains gypsum and/or antifoam. (3) The weed control material of (1) or (2) is provided in which the calcium aluminate CaO/Al2O3 has a molar ratio of 1.0-3 and impurities of 15 mass% or less. (4) The usage of the weed control material is provided for spreading any weed control material of (1)-(3) on the ground to water and coat thereon. (5) The usage of the weed control material is provided for kneading and mixing any weed control material of (1)-(3) with water to be spread on the ground and coated.SELECTED DRAWING: NoneCOPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】硬化時間が短く、初期強度発現性が高く、初期凍害、ひび割れ抵抗性を付与し、草刈の労力を軽減でき、防草の持続性と環境保全が確保できる防草材及びその使用方法を提供する。【解決手段】(1)セメント、カルシウムアルミネート、セメント混和用ポリマー及び土壌を含有してなる防草材、(2)さらに、石膏及び/又は消泡剤を含有してなる(1)の防草材、(3)カルシウムアルミネートが、CaO/Al2O3モル比1.0~3、不純物15質量%以下である(1)又は(2)の防草材、(4)(1)~(3)のいずれかの防草材を地面に敷き詰めてその上に散水して被覆する防草材の使用方法、(5)(1)~(3)のいずれかの防草材を水で練混ぜて地面に敷き詰めて被覆する防草材の使用方法、である。【選択図】なし
