Abstract:
The energized water, Bio-Green Water (B.G. Water) was manufactured by Kyungwon Enterprise Co. through a series of processes; water ultra purification adding catalysts energy imprinting filtering.
Five and/or 10 liters of B.G. Water were supplied to the orchard soil under canopy of 10 year old ‘Tsugaru’ /M26 apple trees at March 20, May 20 and June 20, 1995, respectively.
In orchard soil characters, not only pH, but also Ca and Mg of exchangeable cations were increased by supply with energized B.G. Water.
However, P2O5, K, and B contents were not influenced by the treatment.
At harvest time soluble solid content of flesh and anthocyanin of fruit skin were increased by the treatment.
Energized B.G. Water treatment showed higher root activities, photosynthesis and stomatal resistance of leaves than that of control.
Also energized B.G. Water treatment showed higher Ca content in fruit skin and flesh, whereas not affect N,K, and Mg contents.
During storage at 4 °C cold room, the more volume of energized B.G. Water supply showed the less bitter pit symptom.
Respiration and ethylene evolution were decreased, however fruit firmness increased by the treatment.
