Abstract

(57) [Abstract] [Purpose] To provide a water retention member for agricultural and horticultural use, which can efficiently and intensively supply water to the root portion of a plant. [Structure] The water retaining member has a water receiving portion (2) and a water retaining portion (3) extending downward from the bottom thereof, and these are formed of a material having high water absorption, and the water retaining portion (3) is applied to soil. Plug in to replenish water.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a water retaining member for agriculture and horticulture.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, in the cultivation of plants such as flowers, as a means for retaining and releasing water in the soil, there is a method of mixing particles of a superabsorbent resin into the soil to control the water content of the soil.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The above means is inconvenient because water cannot be efficiently and intensively supplied to the root portion of the plant, and the grains of the super absorbent polymer cannot be mixed with the soil during the growth of the plant. In addition, once the above-mentioned grains are mixed with soil, there is a possibility that various soil-related adverse effects may occur, such as the difficulty of removing the grains and diversion to the cultivation of other plants.

The present invention can efficiently and intensively replenish the root portion of a growing plant with water, and also can easily provide a means for retaining and releasing water in soil where the plant is growing. It is an object of the present invention to provide a product that can be used, the means can be easily removed, the soil can be diverted to the cultivation of other plants, and various harmful effects are not likely to occur.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention has a water receiving part and a water retaining part extending downward from the bottom thereof, and these are formed of a material having a high water absorption property. It is configured to send water to the water retaining section and discharge it.

[0006]

【Example】

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings.

The water retaining member (1) has a water receiving portion (2) and a water retaining portion (3). The water receiving part (2) has a conical funnel shape, receives and stores the sprinkled water, and supplies it to the water retaining part (3). The water retaining portion (3) is a rod-shaped member having a waist strength that can be inserted into the soil, extends downward from the center of the bottom of the water receiving portion (2), and is fed from the water receiving portion (2). Holds water temporarily and releases it. The water receiving part (2) and the water retaining part (3) are integrally formed of a super absorbent rubber that is a mixture of natural rubber and engineered rubber with a resin having a high absorbency. And, the release function is fully exerted.

The water retaining member (1) can be used for cultivating plants such as flowers in the open field or in a flower pot, but the case of using it in a flower pot will be described below.

The flowerpot (4) has soil (5) put therein, and a plant (6) is planted in the soil. The water retaining member (1) has the water retaining portion (3) inserted into the soil (5) so as to be annularly arranged around the plant (6). The water retaining part (3) is located around the root (7) of the plant.

When water is sprayed on the flower pot (4), the water soaks into the soil (5) and a part of the water is sucked and held by the water retaining section (3), and the water falling on the water receiving section (2) is received there. Stored and sent to the water retention section (3).

The water in the water retaining part (3) is appropriately released to the root (7) part of the plant (6) as the soil (5) dries.

The water receiver (2) also covers the surface of the soil (5) to prevent weeds from growing, or to color the water receiver (2) in a color that easily absorbs heat. By raising the temperature of the surface of the soil (5) to aid germination and coloring the water receiver (2) in various colors, the entire pot can be decorated in various colors and can be distinguished from the soil. It is convenient to collect it in the open field especially when it is colored.

[0013]

As described above, the present invention is provided with a water receiving part (2) for receiving and temporarily containing sprinkled water, and extending downward from the bottom of the water receiving part to be supplied from the water receiving part. It has a water retention part (3) that holds and releases water, and these water receiving part and water retention part are formed of a material having high water absorption, and the water retention part (3) is used as soil (5) for plant cultivation. Since it is configured to be plugged and replenished with water, it is possible to replenish water efficiently and intensively to the root (7) part of the plant (6), and also as a water retention member in the soil during plant growth. Can be used easily, the water retaining member can be easily removed, and the soil can be diverted to the cultivation of other plants, and there is no fear of causing various harmful effects on the soil.
