PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a weed control material and its usage, the material that has a short cure time, has high Initial strength development, has freeze-thaw resistance and cracking resistivity, and thereby can reduce labor of mowing and is suitable for persistence of weed control.SOLUTION: (1) A weed control material is formed which contains an alkaline stimulation material and one or two or more kinds of aggregate with sizes of 0.1-50 mm selected from incineration ash, slag, coal ash and volcanic ash. (2) Further, the weed control material of (1) is formed by containing one or more kinds of cement and soil. (3) The weed control material of (1) or (2) is provided in which the alkaline stimulation materials are alkali metals. (4) The usage of the weed control material is provided in which any weed control material of (1) to (3) is spread on the ground and water is sprinkled thereon and coated. (5) The usage of the weed control material is provided in which any weed control material of (1) to (3) is kneaded with water and mixed and is spread on the ground and coated.SELECTED DRAWING: NoneCOPYRIGHT: (C)2018,JPO&INPIT【課題】硬化時間が短く、初期強度発現性が高く、凍結融解抵抗性、ひび割れ抵抗性を有し、草刈の労力を軽減でき、防草の持続性に好適な防草材及びその使用方法を提供する。【解決手段】(1)アルカリ刺激材、並びに、焼却灰、スラグ、石炭灰及び火山灰から選ばれた一種又は二種以上の粒子径0.1~50mmの骨材を含有してなる防草材、(2)さらに、セメントと土壌のうち一種以上を含有してなる(1)の防草材、(3)アルカリ刺激材がアルカリ金属類である(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と練り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
