Abstract

CONICAL PROTECTOR OF ORCHARD AND NATIVE TREES FOR REFORESTATION Conical Protector of Orchard and Native Trees for Reforestation ", refers to a protector of various tree seedlings against ants, which is comprised of a body (3) elongated, vertical, of smooth material, in the form of an inverted cone trunk, with an upper base (4) with a larger diameter than the lower base (2). Said lower base (2) has fixed rods (1) that help fix it to the ground and serves as protection against further tipping is possible.At the upper base (4), a ring-shaped structure (5) is attached with an edge that extends 2 cm outwards, for greater protection against ants.

Description

“CONIC PROTECTOR OF POOM AND NATIVE TREES FOR

REFORESTATION"

The present invention is directed to a conical orchard and native reforestation tree protector for which the original construction was given, used to protect tree seedlings against ants, in order to improve their use, with their efficiency in protecting the planting. orchard and native reforestation trees, so you don't have to worry about ants.

No conical protector of orchard and native trees for reforestation are known, they are smooth conical elongated one part wider and another 10 part narrow to protect the seedlings against ants, with ten stems at the bottom that has the function attaching the protector to the ground and an anchorage at the top to protect the plant against ant and facilitate the removal of the conical protector one over the other, because the conical shape is precisely used to carry a smaller number of protector in a given space.

The farmer, in order to make an orchard or reforest a certain

There are several obstacles in this area. Of these, perhaps the most complicated is that related to ants. In the first days after planting the seedlings are still fragile and highly susceptible to attack by these insects, making their fight indispensable.

The current solution available to the farmer is the use of formicides.

However, this fight is not always as effective, both financially and environmentally. Financially speaking, it would be very costly to do the local combat. To protect a seedling would only require fighting an area within a radius of about 150 meters, as the ants 25 travel that distance to make the cut. If this area has many anthills, the expense of the ant killer would be too high. From an environmental point of view, the ant has its role in nature (serves as food for several animal species, such as the Blind Snake, birds and anteater, helps in soil aeration, increasing its permeability and thus facilitating infiltration. from water). Too much combat could lead to an environmental imbalance.

In view of these problems and in order to overcome them, THE CONIC PROTECTOR OF POOM AND NATIVE TREES FOR REFORESTATION has been developed. Simple, quick to use and practical, able to provide effective protection against the main seedling mortality problem In view of these problems and with the purpose of overcoming them, THE CONIC PROTECTOR OF POOM AND NATIVE TREES FOR REFORESTATION. Simple, quick to use and practical, able to provide effective protection against the main problem of new seedling mortality. Because of its localized action, it allows its use in a single seedling, if necessary, avoiding excessive expenses with formicides. It makes possible the efficient and economically viable planting and protection of a seedling in the middle of a native forest, for example a mango seedling, without the need for higher costs. It is also interesting to use it in a residential orchard, where the seedlings to be planted are usually fruitful, and for this reason they are more pursued by ants, and their fight is needed effectively. Still from an environmental point of view it is excellent as it will bring the least impact. With the present invention it is not necessary to kill ants to protect the plant, which leaves nature as much as possible in its initial state before planting the seedling, that is, virtually unchanged.

The attached drawing shows the Conical Orchard and Native Tree Protector in assembled and planned detail, which are:

- Figure 1 shows the perspective prototype assembled and ready for use.

As illustrated in Figure 1, the Orchard Tapered Shield and

of Native Reforestation Trees, object of the present invention, consists of an inverted cone-shaped piece of smooth material, with a bottom base (2) of 12 cm in diameter and an upper base (4) of 15.4 cm of diameter, in which it has a spare annular shaped portion (5) which extends 2 cm out of the upper base 25 (4). It has rods (1) in length 10 cm long by 7.54 cm wide, attached to the bottom base (2). The body of the Conical Protector (3) is 34 cm high, and the bottom base (2) is 6 cm below normal ground level (buried), and with the rods (1) open in star shape, thus ensuring the largest attachment of the Protector to the ground.

Of course, the above protector can be made of various sizes,

aiming at the best adaptation to the type of seedling to be protected. The protector has the purpose of protecting the plants against the ant and should be placed around the seedling to be protected. The protector body (3) or the upper base (4) should not be touched against the stem of the seedling to be protected.

The lower base (2) is also required to be buried at 6 cm from normal ground level, thus leaving a height above the ground for the rest of the body of the protector (3) sufficient for the intended protection. Below ground, the rods (1) should be open and arranged approximately perpendicular to the body of the protector (3), thus increasing prototype protection against further tipping 10 possibly caused by windstorms, runoff or similar adverse causes.

It is also advised that the producer periodically inspect the area, avoiding situations such as falling branches on the protector, which would take a bridge from the ground to the inner part of the protector, which would allow the entry of ants and loss effectiveness in protecting against them. Flooding is another problem 15 depending on its strength and should be diverted whenever possible to prevent damage to the protector.

Still optionally, the producer can use the inner part of the conical protector to put organic matter, helping to keep the moisture around the seedling longer.
