Patent

CA 2441760

An improved method of cultivating kava plants (14) is disclosed in which a growth medium is formed from a mound (12) formed over a leveled bed of porous rocks, such as volcanic cinders. The bed material is substantially free of organic matter. The mound material is comprised of gravel smaller than the bed material, such as volcanic gravel, and includes organic matter. The kava plants (14) are grown in the mound material. The plants (14) can be harvested by lifting the plant (14) from the mound (12) using a modified forklift assembly. Relatively high mounded rows of other material can alternatively be used. An improved method of producing kava seedlings (14) is also disclosed in which the apical tips (32) of kava plant stems (30) are cut. After buds (36) develop along the stems (30), the stems (30) are harvested, sectioned, and used to generate a large number of seedlings (14).

L'invention porte sur un procédé amélioré de culture du kava (14), procédé selon lequel on forme un milieu de culture à partir d'un monticule (12) sur un lit nivelé de roches poreuses telles que des scories. Le matériau du lit est pratiquement exempt de matière organique. Le matériau du monticule est constitué de gravier de taille plus petite que celle du matériau du lit tel que le gravier d'origine volcanique et comprend une matière organique. Le kava (14) pousse dans le matériau du monticule. On peut récolter les plantes (14) en les soulevant du monticule (12) au moyen d'un ensemble fourche modifié. On peut utiliser alternativement des rangées de monticules relativement élevés constitués d'autres matériaux. L'invention porte également sur un procédé de production de semis de kava (14) selon lequel on coupe les extrémités apicales (32) des tiges de la plante (30). Après bourgeonnement (36), on récolte, sectionne et utilise les tiges (30) pour obtenir un grand nombre de semis (14).
