Abstract

A method for enhancing or reducing photosynthetic activity, wherein non-toxic, pigmented matter is applied to a photosynthetic organism. Depending on the composition of the pigmented matter, the method will have the effect of enhancing, reducing, or inhibiting photosynthetic activity.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for reducing or enhancing the photosynthetic activity of a photosynthetic organism, the method comprising:
 administering a form of pigmented matter to the photosynthetic organism, the pigmented matter selected from a list of:   non-toxic organic or inorganic compounds.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the pigmented matter is mixed with at least one other substance to form a pigmented mixture. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the at least one other substance is water. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the at least one other substance is an adhesive. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the at least one other substance is a fertilizer. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the at least one other substance is a vitamin. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the at least one other substance is a plant nutrient. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the at least one other substance is clove oil. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1 ,
 wherein providing the pigmented matter to the photosynthetic organism comprises spraying the pigmented matter onto the leaves and/or stem of the photosynthetic organism.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1 ,
 wherein providing the pigmented matter to the photosynthetic organism comprises wiping the pigmented matter onto the leaves and/or stem of the photosynthetic organism.   
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 1 ,
 wherein providing the pigmented matter to the photosynthetic organism comprises spraying the pigmented matter onto the soil in which the photosynthetic organism is growing.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 1 ,
 wherein providing the pigmented matter to the photosynthetic organism comprises irrigating the soil in which the photosynthetic organism is growing with a solution made with the pigmented matter.   
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 1 ,
 wherein providing the pigmented matter to the photosynthetic organism comprises soaking a seed of the photosynthetic organism in a solution made with the pigmented matter.   
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 1 ,
 wherein providing the pigmented matter to the photosynthetic organism comprises immersing the photosynthetic organism in a solution made with the pigmented matter.   
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 1 ,
 wherein providing the pigmented matter to the photosynthetic organism comprises spraying the surface of a body of water in which the photosynthetic organism grows with a solution made with the pigmented matter.   
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 1 ,
 wherein providing the pigmented matter to the photosynthetic organism comprises directly spraying the photosynthetic organism that grows on or near the surface of a body of water.   
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 1 ,
 wherein providing the pigmented matter to the photosynthetic organism comprises injecting the water in which the photosynthetic organism grows with a solution made with the pigmented matter.   
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 1 ,
 wherein providing the pigmented matter to the photosynthetic organism comprises applying the pigmented matter to shredded or cut up material; and   
       spreading the mixture over the medium in which the photosynthetic organism is growing. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the shredded or cut up material is newspaper, straw or plastic. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 applying an adhesive material to the photosynthetic organism before the pigmented matter is applied.
