Abstract

The energized water, Bio-Green Water (B.G. Water) was manufactured through a series of processes: water purification → adding catalysts → exposure with special energy spectra → filtering, by Kyungwon Enterprise Co. B.G. Water was treated with irrigation of 4 liters/tree at 30 Apr. 1994 and 8 liters/tree at 20 June 1994 in the `Fuji' apple orchard soil, and a pasting to the trunk of apple trees at 20 Apr. 1994. In terms of orchard soil property, Ca and Mg contents were outstandingly increased; however, P 2 O 5 was decreased and K 2 O was not influenced by irrigation of B.G. Water. The B.G. Water treatment changed soil pH from 4.71 to 5.81 of surface soil level (0 to 20 cm) and from 4.82 to 6.45 of deeper soil level (30 to 50 cm). B.G. Water treatment showed higher soluble solids in apple fruit juice, and lower flesh browning after peeling than that of control. Of mineral contents in fruit skin, Ca was increased; however, N was decreased by the B.G. Water treatment. Of the four solvents fraction for Ca extraction, water-soluble Ca content was increased in the fruit skin treated with B.G. Water, whereas the contents of N, P, Ca, Zn, and B were decreased in the leaves and stem bark of apple trees treated with B.G. Water.
