Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] When seedlings are raised using a Styrofoam collective nursery device, when the water is irrigated into the collective nursery device, the potted soil that has been irrigated with more water than the other will have water on the bottom of the pot. This is to prevent the growth of seedlings, which tends to accumulate and hinder the growth of seedlings. [Structure] A groove 4 is provided on a bottom surface 3 of the pot portion 1 from an inner peripheral wall surface of the pot portion 1 toward a drainage hole 5 in a central portion. In addition, a vertical groove 6 continuous with the groove 4 is formed on the inner peripheral wall surface.
Alternatively, the bottom surface 3 itself has a mortar shape with the drainage hole 5 at the center, and a collective nursery apparatus for transplanted seedlings made of styrofoam.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to improvement of a styrofoam collective nursery device for transplanting seedlings.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, there is a Styrofoam collective nursery apparatus 2 having a large number of pots 1 vertically and horizontally divided as shown in FIG. 1, and soil is put in the pots 1 to seed vegetables. This method of raising seedlings has been widely used as a rational method, such as planting seedlings of flowers planted or planted with seedlings, growing them in a greenhouse or the like, and growing the seedlings before transplanting them to the field. The size of the pot portion 1 is of course appropriate depending on the type of seedling, but the bottom surface 3 of the pot portion 1 is flat with the drainage hole 5 as the center.

In seedling raising work after sowing, the water required by the seedlings is very small before germination, but it is necessary to gradually increase the water content after germination, and thus watering is often performed. In general, the collective seedling raising device 2 has several tens to several hundreds of pots 1 and it is difficult to irrigate all the seedlings so as to be uniform. If the amount of irrigation is too high from the germination period to the seedling stage and it becomes over-humidified, poor germination and uneven seedlings are likely to occur, especially in broccoli, cabbage, etc. Was needed.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In view of such a problem, the present invention allows unnecessary water to flow outside so that water does not accumulate on the bottom surface 3 of the pot part 1 immediately after irrigation, and the water content of the culture soil inside the pot part 1 after irrigation is increased. Is intended to be uniform.

[0005]

Means for Solving the Problem As means for achieving such a method, a groove 4 is formed on the bottom surface 3 of the pot portion 1 from the inner peripheral wall surface toward the drainage hole 5 in the central portion, or further, the pot portion 1 A vertical groove 6 continuous with the groove 4 is formed on the inner peripheral wall surface of the.

Alternatively, the bottom surface 3 itself of the pot portion 1 is shaped like a mortar from the inner peripheral wall surface toward the drainage hole 5 in the central portion. At this time, a large number of fine grooves may be radially provided from the water draining holes 5 over the entire surface of the mortar-shaped portion.

[0007]

[Action]

 Thus, when seedlings are raised using the collective seedling growing device 2 having the pot part 1 having the drainage part on the bottom face 3 as described above, the water easily flows out from the bottom face 3 when watering is performed, and thus the pot part that is more watered. Both the culture soil of No. 1 and the culture soil when an appropriate amount of irrigation water had the same water content, and there was no place where it was partially humid.

[0008]

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. First, to describe the method for manufacturing the collective nursery device 2 in FIG. 1, the collective nursery device 2 is usually made of styrofoam having a large number of pots 1, and the styrene resin foamed at high temperature is placed in a mold. Fill and make. In this invention, a groove 4 is provided in a portion of the mold (not shown) that contacts the bottom surface 3 of the pot portion 1, or the bottom surface 3 as shown in FIG. 7 has a mortar shape. The cross-sectional shape of the groove 4 may be any of a semi-circle, a semi-elliptical shape, a rectangular shape and the like. Although the width of the groove 4 depends on the size of the pot portion 1, it is generally 1 to 5 mm. Further, although the number is not specified, FIG. 2 shows an example of four. FIG. 3 is a sectional view thereof, but the groove 4 is inclined.

In addition to the embodiment of FIG. 2, FIG. 4 shows a vertical groove 6 having a semicircular cross section, which is continuous from the opening on the upper surface of the pot portion 1 to the bottom surface 3 and has an inner peripheral wall surface. It was added to. FIG. 5 is a sectional view thereof.

FIG. 6 is a plan view of an embodiment in which the bottom surface 3 has a mortar shape, and FIG. 7 is a sectional view thereof. Although the mortar surface is drawn as a smooth surface in the figure, it may have a large number of narrow grooves radially around the drainage hole 5.

The method of using the improved collective nursery device 2 is not different from the usual one, but the pot part 1 is filled with soil, and seedlings are planted or sowed and put in a greenhouse or the like for irrigation. This irrigation amount is such that water flows out from the drain hole 5. After that, the seedlings may be grown while appropriately irrigating.

[0012]

[Effect of device]

 By using this improved collective seedling growing device 2, the water content of the culture soil in all the pot parts 1 can be kept uniform by superfluous irrigation, and the overgrowth in the germination period can be eliminated. The growth is complete, and problems such as yellowing of the lower leaves can be solved.
