Description

The utility model relates to agriculture, in particular to devices for growing seedlings of vegetable crops, flowers, and can be used both in the summer cottage industry and in mass production.

A well-known cassette for seedlings and seedlings, containing a box-shaped case, in the cover of which there are installed cells through the ears, the bottoms of which are conjugated with conical elements for seedlings, placed coaxially with the cells and interconnected in the block, while the mating diameters of the cells and elements are equal (RU Patent 2056728, IPC A01G 9/02, publ. 03/27/1996).

The drawback of the cassette is damage to the roots and stems of plants during the extraction of seedlings from the cell before planting in the ground.

A device for growing seedlings is known, containing identical cells made of plastic, connected to each other by stiffeners with the formation of a block and having an open neck, a bottom with an opening and tapering towards the bottom of the wall, while the ratio of the size of the neck and the size of the hole is no more than 2 : 1, and the angle of inclination of the cell walls to the bottom is at least 60 ° (Patent RU 2128902, IPC A01G 9/02, A01G 9/10, publ. 04/20/1999; Patent RU 6969, IPC A01G 9/02, publ. 16.07 .1998).

The disadvantage of this device is the damage to the roots of the seedlings during its extraction from the cell by extruding a lump of earth with the plant through the hole.

A well-known container for seedlings containing a box on which a panel with conical holes is installed, in which pots are installed, split vertically. The bottom of the pots is made inclined to the plane of the connector. To extract seedlings, the pot is removed from the hole, tilted to the side of one of its parts, and the upper part of it is removed. After this, the second part, together with seedlings, is lowered into the hole in the ground, tilted in the opposite direction and freely removed from the soil pot (Patent SU 1771402, IPC A01G 9/02, publ. 23.10.1992).

The disadvantage of the container is the need for a multi-operation, complex procedure for extracting seedlings during planting.

The closest is a device for growing seedlings, containing a horizontal panel with oval cells open on top to form a root system oriented along the major axis of the oval. When planting seedlings in an earthen lump field with a plant, the major axis of the oval is located across the row, which ensures the distribution of roots in the row-spacing and increases the effective feeding area (Patent SU 1720566, IPC A01G 9/02, publ. 23.03.1992).

The disadvantage of this device is the need to extract seedlings from the cell before planting, which leads to damage to the roots and stems of plants.

The task is to develop a device for growing seedlings, ensuring the effective growth and development of seedlings, as well as the preservation of the roots and stems of plants when planting seedlings.

The technical result is the preservation of seedlings when removed from the device, improving the biological and agrotechnical characteristics of crops grown and, as a result, increasing their productivity.

The technical result is achieved by using a device for growing seedlings containing a horizontal panel with cells open at the top, and the cells are made in the form of bags of tubular knitwear made of biodegradable fibers of plant origin by interlacing semifangles containing 5–8 loop rows of weft elastomeric yarn.

The essence of the device is to make cells for seedlings in the form of bags of tubular knitwear from biodegradable fibers of plant origin by interlacing the semifangles containing 5–8 loop rows of weft elastomeric yarn. This allows to increase the biological and agrotechnical characteristics of cultivated crops and, as a result, increase plant productivity by providing more comfortable conditions for the germination of seedlings and non-traumatic extraction of seedlings from the device before planting in the soil. The use of biodegradable fibers of plant origin as a material for cells provides planted seedlings with additional nutrients that are formed during the decomposition of fibers. It also helps to increase the productivity of crops.

Open cells mounted on a horizontal panel, made in the form of bags of tubular knitwear made of biodegradable vegetable fibers, by weaving semifangles containing 5–8 loop rows of weft elastomeric filaments, are capable of stretching both longitudinally and transversely, resulting in of them, the root system of seedlings does not undergo any inhibitory effect during the growth process, and before planting into the ground, bags with seedlings are removed from the device and planted seedlings etsya into the ground along with the bag completely without damaging the stem and root system. Thus, when planting seedlings, plants do not receive damage and retain their structure and viability, which ensures the effective growth and development of seedlings, as well as all the necessary agrotechnical conditions for the normal vegetative development of the plant and, as a result, an increase in the productivity of crops grown.

In FIG. 1 shows a device for growing seedlings; in FIG. 2 shows a graphical representation of the odd and even rows of half-weave interweaving without a weft thread; in FIG. Figure 3 shows a graphical representation of the odd and even rows of interweaving of semifangs with weft elastomeric thread.

The device for growing seedlings contains a horizontal panel 1 with cells 2 open on top, made in the form of bags of tubular knitwear of biodegradable fibers 3 of plant origin by interlacing semifangles containing 5–8 loop rows of weft elastomeric thread 4 located between the front 5 and the wrong 6 sides weave.

Tubular knitwear by interweaving of semi-fangs is made on a two-texture stocking machine AN 14 using the “incomplete conclusion” method.

In the odd rows A of the weave of the semifangs without the weft thread 4 and in the odd rows B of the weave of the semifang with the weft elastomeric thread 4, biodegradable fibers 3 of plant origin are knitted on the front 5 and on the wrong side 6 of the weave.

In even rows B of weaving semifangs without weft thread 4 and in odd rows D of weaving semifangs with weft elastomeric thread 4, biodegradable fibers 3 of plant origin are knitted only on the front side 5 of weave. On the seamy side 6 of the weave are drafts 7 of biodegradable fibers 3 of plant origin.

Thus, the tubular knit is made by press weaving of a semifang, the outline of which is located on the wrong side 6 of the weave of the tubular knit, and weft elastomeric threads 4 made of rubber thread are located between the front 5 and the wrong side 6 of the weave. Weft elastomeric yarn 4 is introduced every 5-8 stitch rows and ensures good stretchability of knitwear, and after decomposition of biodegradable fibers 3 in the soil, the remaining stretched structure of elastomeric yarn 4 does not interfere with root development.

The finished tubular knitwear is cut in the transverse direction, the obtained cylindrical fragments are sutured from one end with the formation of bags and the resulting bags are fixed with the open end on a horizontal panel.

The device operates as follows.

Cells 2 of the device are filled with soil and sown in them. A device for growing seedlings is installed in a pan with water (or nutrient fluid).

As the plant grows in the device for growing seedlings, the green part of the seedlings grows outward, and the roots develop in bags 2. Cells in the form of bags made of tubular knitwear from biodegradable fibers of plant origin by interlacing semifangles containing 5–8 loop rows of weft elastomeric thread ensure substrate (land from the cells does not fall out), do not limit the development of the root system of the grown material, ensuring its uniform development and functioning, as well as ensuring they isolate the root systems of neighboring plants from each other, as a result of which they do not interweave and oppress. As a result, plant roots develop in knitted bags without damage, with good access to water, nutrients and air.

Before planting in the soil, seedlings are removed from the device and planted in the prepared soil with a bag. At the same time, the seedlings do not have any negative impact and it naturally continues to develop, keeping all its structures intact. In the process of plant growth and development in the soil, biodegradable fibers of plant origin are gradually decomposed in the soil from which the bags are made, as a result of which the bags do not limit the development of the plant in the soil and become an additional source of nutrition for roots and soil microorganisms.

The design ensures the safety of plant roots, the absence of deformation of the stems, the effective growth and development of seedlings, as well as all the necessary agrotechnical conditions for growing.

The roots of the plants are not damaged and do not tear and retain their structure and viability, which ensures the effective growth and development of seedlings, as well as all the necessary agrotechnical conditions for the normal vegetative development of the plant and, as a result, an increase in its productivity.

Lightness and compactness of the device provides ease of use and transportation.

As biodegradable fibers of plant origin can be used cotton, linen, hemp, nettle, corn, soy or jute fibers.

The presence of a loop structure allows for uniform access of the nutrient solution and air to the roots of plants throughout the cell volume.

In order to prevent infectious diseases of plants, cells made in the form of bags of tubular knitwear made of biodegradable fibers of plant origin by weaving semifanges containing 5–8 loop rows of weft elastomeric filament can be soaked in disinfectant solutions before use.

Thus, it provides not only the ease of operation of the device, but also provides comfortable germination of seedlings and its development in the soil, which positively affects the functioning of plants, which in turn leads to an increase in plant yields and crop quality, i.e. crop productivity.
