Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a germination container used when seeds are germinated and raised in a solid medium formed from a seedling support material such as peat moss or sawdust.

More specifically, the present invention is a shallow container with an open top, in which a number of cylindrical recesses for inserting a solid medium having the same shape as the solid medium are formed at the bottom, and a number of drainage holes are formed at the bottom other than the recesses. This is a germination container that uses a solid medium made of a solid medium, and has the advantage of preventing movement of the solid medium when germinating and raising plant seeds, and also being able to easily supply an appropriate amount of moisture to the solid medium.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to the drawings.

The germination container of the present invention shown in FIG. It has four cylindrical solid culture medium insertion parts 1 that are slightly larger than the cylindrical solid medium 6, and has a drainage hole 2 in the bottom part 3 other than the recessed part 1.

Usually, the four cylindrical parts 1 for inserting a solid medium have an inner diameter slightly larger than the outer diameter of the cylindrical solid medium 6, and a depth that is the same as the height of the cylindrical solid medium 6, but slightly smaller. It is.

In addition, the cylindrical recess 1 for inserting a solid medium has good ventilation.
It is best to space them at appropriate intervals so that the light hits the germinated plants evenly.

FIG. 2 shows a solid culture medium 6 formed by compressing sawdust, fertilizer components, and a binder into a cylindrical shape, with a seeding groove 7 formed in the center of the top surface.

The solid medium 6 sown in the seeding groove 7 is placed in the bottom 3 of the germination container.
It is used by inserting it into a cylindrical recess 1 for inserting a solid medium shaped like this.

FIG. 3 shows a cross-sectional view of the germination container of the present invention in use.

During germination and seedling raising, the solid burial ground 6 absorbs moisture and swells, becoming larger than the cylindrical recess 1 for inserting a solid medium formed in the bottom 3 of the germination container, and also prevents the rooting and germination of plant seeds. It becomes soft enough not to interfere.

Needless to say, the germinated plants are transplanted together with the solid medium 6.

The germination container of the present invention is used by inserting the seeded solid medium 6 into the solid medium insertion cylindrical recess 1 formed in the bottom 3, so when watering the germination container or carrying the germination container, The solid medium 6 does not move and become unevenly distributed, and it is possible to always maintain good ventilation and uniform light irradiation to the germinated plants.

In addition, since the germination container of the present invention has the drainage hole 2 formed in the bottom part 3 other than the cylindrical recess 1 for inserting a solid medium, when watering, water will not accumulate in the cylindrical recess 1 for inserting the solid medium. The water is immediately drained from this drainage hole 2, and the solid medium 6 inserted into the solid medium insertion cylindrical recess 1 is not submerged in water for a long time, and an appropriate amount of water can be supplied to the solid medium 6. can.

Therefore, the germination container of the present invention allows uniformly germinated plants to be obtained, and is particularly suitable for germinating and raising seedlings of vegetables such as fruit vegetables and leafy vegetables.
