PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To promote growth of a plant by using carbon dioxide and without using a greenhouse.SOLUTION: Many air bubbles, which are formed out of an aqueous solution and include carbon dioxide, are made to adhere to a plant leaf to cover a part or the whole of the surface of the plant leaf. The air bubbles, in which carbon dioxide is enclosed, continue to adhere to the surface of the plant leaf for a long time. This makes it possible to promote photosynthesis in the plant leaf. When the air bubbles are transparent, the leaf is sufficiently exposed to sunlight and the photosynthesis is activated. When a vegetable surfactant is contained in the aqueous solution, many stable air bubbles can be easily generated. Fertilizer for growing a plant can be also contained in the aqueous solution.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2016,JPO&INPIT【課題】ハウスを使用しないで、炭酸ガスを利用して植物の成長促進をはかる。【解決手段】 植物の葉の表面の一部または全体を覆うように、水溶液により形成した炭酸ガスを含む多数の気泡を付着させる。この炭酸ガスを封入した気泡が植物の葉の表面に長時間付着した状態にする。これにより、植物の葉の光合成を促進できる。気泡が透明体であれば、太陽光が葉に十分に照射され、光合成を活発にする。水溶液に植物性の界面活性剤を含めると、多数の安定な気泡を発生させやすい。また、水溶液に、植物育成用の肥料を含めることもできる。【選択図】図1
