Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable plural coated seeds such as of Welsh onion to be effectively sown into the cells of a cell tray respectively packed with culture soil. SOLUTION: Using a compacting implement to be operated from above on each cell (a) packed with culture soil 1, the bottom of a conical seeding recess 2 is provided with a horizontal slit-shaped alignment groove 2a constant in depth with its center coinciding with that inside the cell (a), and 3 to 5 grains of coated seeds C put into the recess 2 are aligned at the same depth in the groove 2a.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cell tray sowing method capable of effectively sowing a plurality of coated seeds such as green onions in each cell of a cell tray filled with soil.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a mortar-shaped seeding hole has been formed by a crusher on the upper surface side of each cell filled with soil.

[0003]

However, when a plurality of seeds such as green onions are sown, all seeds are concentrated so as to overlap with the bottom of the seeding hole on the center side of the cell, so that one grown seedling, There has been a problem that the space between one plant is narrowed to form a thin soft seedling, and that when transplanted by an automatic transplanter, if the seedling picking nail sticks into the cell, the seedling is damaged.

[0004]

The present invention solves such a problem and enables a plurality of coat seeds such as green onions to be effectively sown in each cell, and therefore, each soil is filled with soil. By the squeeze tool operated from above each of the cells, to form a horizontal elongated elongated alignment groove centered on the center of the cell at the bottom of the mortar-shaped seeding hole, in the seeding hole A plurality of coated seeds of 3 to 5 grains to be introduced are aligned in the alignment groove at the same depth so that seeding is possible.

[0005]

Therefore, if each cell of the cell tray is filled with water and watered, and then the pressure suppressor is operated from above, a seeding hole having an alignment groove at the bottom can be formed. When one coat of seeds is put into the hole or 3 to 5 seeds are put together, all the coat seeds are aligned in the alignment groove at a certain depth, and thick and strong seedlings are grown. Will be

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The drawings show an embodiment of the present invention, in which cell tray A
Is a cell a which is filled with the soil 1 and has a water passage hole 3 on the bottom surface, which is formed in a grid pattern as shown in FIG. It is operated from above, and has a mortar-shaped head 4 capable of forming a mortar-shaped seeding hole 2 on the upper surface side of the soil 1 in the cell a, and below the head 4. Are 3 to 5 coated seeds C such as green onions aligned to form a horizontally elongated shape with a constant depth, and the center in the longitudinal direction is aligned with the center in the cell a and is continuous under the seeding holes 2. The bottom portion 4a having a long quadrangular shape is integrally formed so as to form the alignment groove 2a.

Therefore, each cell a of the cell tray A is filled with the soil 1 as shown in FIG. 6 and is watered, and the pressure suppressor B is operated from above to operate the soil as shown in FIG. When press-fitting from the upper surface of No. 1, as shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, it is possible to form a sowing hole 2 having an alignment groove 2a at the bottom on the upper surface side, and coat seed C in the sowing hole 2 When one grain or 3 grains are added together, all the coated seeds C are aligned at a constant depth in the alignment groove 2a, as shown in FIGS. Thick and strong seedlings that cannot be seen will be raised.

[0008]

As described above, according to the present invention, when the soil a is filled in each cell a of the cell tray A and is watered, and then the pressure suppressor B is operated from above, the upper surface of the soil 1 is It becomes possible to form the seeding hole 2 having the alignment groove 2a at the bottom portion, and when one seed of the coated seed C is put into the seeding hole 2 or 3 to 5 seeds are put together, all the coated seeds C are By aligning at a certain depth in the alignment groove 2a, thick and strong seedlings will be grown,
3 to 5 coated seeds C per cell a such as green onions
When sowing, it has a feature that it can be effectively seeded and can be preferably carried out.
