★★Notice★★★ We are releasing an effective greening method specialized for strongly acidic soils: "#Soil Bacteria Strongly Acidic Countermeasure Method"★★★

It is a new natural growth-type greening method specialized for more acidic soils, based on the conventional soil bacteria method.

**Soil Bacteria Strong Acidity Countermeasure Method** The "Soil Bacteria Strong Acidity Countermeasure Method" is an effective vegetation technique for slopes that contain factors inhibiting vegetation, such as strongly acidic soil (pH ≤ 3). By combining a shielding layer created through soil cement spraying with a vegetation foundation layer established using soil bacteria methods, it provides stable greening in areas where conventional vegetation has been considered difficult. **Soil Bacteria Strong Acidity Countermeasure Method System** In the "Soil Bacteria Strong Acidity Countermeasure Method," the factors inhibiting vegetation present in the ground are shielded by soil cement spraying, and a vegetation foundation layer is created on the surface. The hard shielding layer made from soil cement spraying restricts not only the growth of plant roots but also the supply of moisture and nutrients, meaning that the vegetation foundation layer constructed on top of the shielding layer will depend heavily on many conditions for plant growth. Taking this into account, the vegetation foundation layer employs a soil bacteria method that possesses self-fertilizing capabilities, eliminating the need for additional fertilization.

The soil bacteria method is a maintenance-free, naturally growing greening technique that achieves permanent greening by reconstructing natural cycles.

The "Soil Microorganism Method" is a natural cultivation technique that creates a plant growth foundation using a spray material composed of the following components, which are similar in composition to natural soil: - Soil parent material - Soil microbial community - Organic matter - Seeds This method aims to restore the natural topsoil lost due to excavation work and achieve permanent greening by reconstructing the natural cycle. "Effective soil microorganisms" are microbial materials cultivated from natural microbial communities found in forests, mountains, and farmland using special methods. Main materials of the Soil Microorganism Method: - Soil parent material: "Soil" formed from weathered rocks. - Soil Yuky: "Biological remains of plants and animals," containing trace elements. - Effective soil microorganisms: 138 types of "effective soil microorganisms" extracted and cultivated from natural soil microbial communities.

As part of the "Hometown Ibara Future Creation Human Resource Development Project," we welcomed local elementary and middle school students to the special summer program "Ibara Job Exploration Tour 2025," a collaboration between the Ibara City Chamber of Commerce and the Corporate Branding Committee. We conducted a presentation that clearly and enjoyably introduced how our technology supports society, allowing the children to learn about the appeal of manufacturing and the significance of working while interacting with actual devices and products. Through this initiative, we hope to deepen our connection with the community and nurture the curiosity of the children who will carry the future. We sincerely thank everyone who participated, as well as all those involved in planning and organizing the event.
