JPS6420035A - Raising of seedling using seeding sheet - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To carry out seeding in a short time, to surely germinate and to raise seedling efficiently and economically, by seeding and fixing bare seeds to a seeding sheet at given intervals and arrangement, germinating the seeds by a germinator, then transferring to a seedling raising bed and raising the seedlings. CONSTITUTION:One - three grains of bare seeds 3 are seeded in a seeding sheet 1 at positions, made of water-soluble paper material, corresponding to the centers of the plane of each soil block 2 by a seeding device optionally through a water soluble paste. The seeding sheet has the same length and breadth dimensions as those of the soil block group 2 for raising seedling, arranged at given length and breadth intervals. Then the seeding sheets 1 are packed in a multiple stage into a germinator 8 capable of regulating temperature, humidity, light rays, etc., under an ideal germinating condition by an environment controller 10 through clamps 9. Then the germinated seeding sheet 1 is transferred to a seedling raising box 5 in such a way that the surface of the soil block group 2 packed in the seedling raising box 5 is covered with the seeding sheet, the seeds are transplanted and germinated seeds 3 are rooted in the soil block 2 to raise seedlings.
