Abstract

PURPOSE:To efficiently carry out the planting of a seedling on a raising seedling pot and the placing of the raising seedling pot on a frame. CONSTITUTION:A raising seedling device composed of a number of connected raising seedling pots 2 is used in the raising seedling process. When the seedling is grown to a prescribed height, the raising seedling device 1 is separated into each raising seedling pot 2 and the separated raising seedling pots are rearranged by widening the space between the pots. The planting of the seedling can be carried out without arranging individual raising seedling pot 2 on a frame by this process or by rearranging the separated raising seedling pots.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for raising seedlings used for raising seedlings of flowers, fruits, vegetables and the like using a pot for raising seedlings.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Nurturing of seedlings, in particular, raising seedlings centering on flowers, which are sold to end users in a state of being planted in pots, is generally carried out by the following procedure. That is,
Initially, seeds are germinated to obtain seedlings in a nursery tray with multiple small plots, then each seedling is transplanted into a separate nursery pot.
This transplant is called pot raising. At this time, the nursery pots are often placed densely on the frame. If seedlings grow in this environment, they will become overcrowded, so re-arrange the seedling pots with a wider space.

[0003]

In the above conventional method, the seedlings are transplanted to individual seedling raising pots when they are potted.
It is necessary to place the nursery pots one by one on the frame. The reason why the frame body is used here is that a large number of seedling raising pots are placed on one frame body, so that the seedling raising pot is filled with soil and the holes for seedling implantation are performed in a series of lines. Inevitable for efficient bowling. However, placing the seedling raising pot on the frame must be done manually,
It is a heavy burden on the operator.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention uses a seedling raising device in which a large number of seedling raising pots are connected in series, fills each of the seedling raising pots with culture soil and implants seedlings, and the seedlings are brought to a predetermined degree. After the growth, the seedling raising device is separated for each seedling raising pot, and the seedling raising pots are rearranged so as to be spaced apart from each other, thereby eliminating the need for placing the seedling raising pot on the frame. If the seedling-growing device has a cutting line formed between the seedling-growing pots, the work for separating the seedling-growing pot from the seedling-growing pot is easy (claim 2). When the seedling raising device is attached to the frame, it is convenient for transportation (claim 3).

[0005]

In the present invention, since a large number of seedling raising pots are connected in series, if the seedling raising devices are installed on a predetermined line, the soil can be automatically filled as it is. The work of placing the seedling raising pot on the frame is no longer necessary. Since the seedling raising device is separated from each seedling raising pot at the stage when the seedlings have grown, the seedling raising pots can be arranged at free intervals and can be used in the same manner as conventional individual seedling raising pots. If the seedling raising device provided with a thin line or a cutting line such as perforations as in the second aspect of the invention is used, the separating operation becomes extremely easy. Further, when the seedling raising device is used with the frame body attached, the stability during transportation is increased, and the strength of the seedling raising device is as small as possible.

[0006]

EXAMPLE FIG. 1 shows a seedling raising apparatus 1 used in an example of the present invention.
Is shown. It is formed by molding a synthetic resin film, and a large number of seedling-growing pots 2 are formed in a plane rectangular shape.
Then, perforations 3 are formed vertically and horizontally between each seedling raising pot 2. FIG. 2 shows a frame body 4 used in the embodiment of the present invention.
Is shown. The frame 4 is made of synthetic resin and can hold the seedling raising device 1 with rigidity.

The seedling raising device 1 configured as described above is used as a frame body 4.
Attach to. The seedling raising device 1 has almost no rigidity, but the frame 4
It will be held in a standard size by mounting it on the. The seedling raising device 1 mounted on the frame 4 is placed on an automation line, and each seedling raising pot 2 is automatically filled with soil to form a recess for seedling implantation in the soil. The formation of this recess is also carried out simultaneously with the whole seedling raising pot by a pressing device. After that, seedlings are planted in the recesses and transported to a predetermined place to grow seedlings. At this time, since the seedling raising device 1 is held by the frame body 4, there is no possibility that the seedling raising device is bent during transportation and the implanted state is disturbed.

When a seedling grows and leaves grow over a predetermined period, the intervals between the seedling raising pots 2 in the seedling raising device 1 have a high density of seedlings, which is not a preferable condition for growing. Therefore, the seedling raising device is separated along the perforations 3 and all seedling raising pots 2
Independence. The independent seedling raising pots 2 are rearranged on the frame member 4 at positions spaced apart from each other, or placed on the floor or shelf without using the frame member 4. The nursery pot is made of thin film, but there is no problem in transporting it in the state of being individually separated.

After that, when the seedlings have grown to a certain extent sufficient for shipping, the seedlings are shipped to the market in a state of being hungry.

In the above embodiment, since the seedling raising device 1 is made of a thin film, the seedling raising pot can be separated very easily and high workability can be obtained. Since the seedling raising device 1 was attached to the frame body 4 to grow seedlings, the seedling raising device 1
Even if it is not rigid, it will not hinder the handling such as transportation. If the seedling raising device 1 has rigidity, the frame body 4 does not necessarily have to be used. In addition, the conventionally used frame has a section corresponding to such a seedling raising pot because it is necessary to arrange independent seedling raising pots in an orderly manner, and when the presence of the section is rearranged using the frame, it is arranged. It is a constraint on the interval. However, in this embodiment, since the frame has no compartments, the seedling raising pots can be rearranged at free intervals, and the space can be effectively used. Since the seedling-growing pots 2 constitute the seedling-growing device 1, each seedling-growing pot 2 is automatically arranged at a predetermined position even if the frame 4 does not have a section.

[0011]

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, a large number of seedling raising pots used for potting seedlings are arranged in series to constitute a seedling raising device, and in this state of the seedling raising device, mutual consignment filling and the like are carried out. Since it is not necessary to place the seedling raising pot of No. 1 on the frame, workability is improved. Further, when the seedlings are grown to a predetermined degree, they are separated from each seedling pot and made independent, and the independent pots are rearranged at wide intervals, so that a growth environment equivalent to that of conventional seedling pots can be obtained. . further,
Since it is not necessary to provide a separate compartment in the frame to be used, it is possible to freely arrange the rearing pot for rearing seedlings and effectively use the space.
