Manda 31, a fermented natural plant concentrate, improves yield and quality of crops, vegetables and fruits without any hazard of environment factors. A glasshouse experiments was conducted to evaluate the effects of Manda 31 on growth and yield of spinach at the Subtropical Field Science Center of the University of the Ryukyus, Japan. Manda 31 at 100ppm was sprayed to plant shoots three times at a 10-day interval beginning 3- to 5-leaf stage. Water was adequately sprayed to control plants. Leaf was greener and leaf senescence occurred slowly when spinach was grown with Manda 31. Number of leaves, leaf area, root biomass and yield (shoot biomass) per plant were significantly increased with the Manda 31 application, as compared to control plant. This study indicates that Manda 31 is effective for promoting growth and yield of spinach.
