A method and apparatus for severing roots of bean sprouts are disclosed. Bean sprouts are supplied onto a severing table having a number of severing slits each of which has such a width that a root of a bean sprout falls into each severing slit. Water is sprinkled over the severing table so that the roots of the bean sprouts on the severing table flow into the severing slits. The roots of the bean sprouts fallen in the severing slits are severed by a cutter blade.

A compatible optical disk in which information can be reproduced by a player normally used exclusively for reproduction, and writing, rewriting and erasure can be performed, comprises a recording film material characterized in that the reflectivity of a flat portion of the disk is lower than 50% in an erased or unrecorded state and the reflectivity of a recorded area is increased by recording by an irradiation of light, a light beam-guiding groove (12) formed on the surface of the disk substrate so that information is recorded or read out along the trough portion (12) or crest portion (17) of the guiding groove, and the reflectivity is enhanced in the crest portion (17) between the troughs or in the trough portion (12) between the crests.
