The present invention relates to a planting table for greenhouses and of the kind where the surface is water-resistant and supplied with a number of irrigation furrows.
When forcing seedlings or cuttings in a greenhouse detached planting tables are usually used. Thus the planting tables in same greenhouse are exposed to the same climate, which limits the number of species of plants that can be forced under optimum conditions. The forcing of cuttings in a large greenhouse is uneconomic as an unnecessarily large quantity of air has to be heated. This method causes that plants with different growth conditions cannot be forced simulta- neously in the same greenhouse.
The object of the present invention is to indicate a planting table for the forcing of cuttings, which causes a considerable reduction of the heating costs compared to the well-known planting tables, and which causes a possibility of an optimum forcing of several different species of plants in the same greenhouse.
This object is achieved when a space for the air circulation is arranged under the surface of the table, when a number of heating units are mounted in this space, when an insulating material and. if desired, a heat reflecting material is placed under these heating units, and when a house of light permeable material is arranged above the table. Thus an optimum growth climate can be achieved in the relatively small house when using a small consumption of energy, fertilizers, and water.
The planting table may according to claim 2 be characterized in that it is supplied with air channels along the sides of the planting table and across the middle of the planting table, that these air channels are connected with the air space over the heating units of the planting table, and that the air space at the ends of the planting table is connected to the house over the planting table. Hereby an air circulation over the planting table is obtained that ensures the best possible heat utilization.
According to claim 3 the planting table can be characterized in that it has thermostatically controlled intake of heat, and that thermostatic coils are present partly in the air space over the heating units and partly in the house above the planting table. In this way it is possible to control the air temperatur over the planting table corresponding to the culture in question.
Finally, according to claim 4 the planting table can be characterized in that a heat reflecting, shade affording curtain is arranged in the roof of the house. This results in a very small waste of heat to the environments.
The invention will be further explained with reference to the drawing, where
Pig. 1 shows a transversal, vertical section of the planting table according to the invention, and Pig. 2 shows a sectional view along the line II-II of Fig. 1.

pipes to the space 6, which pipes run under the whole planting table, and which pipes are provided with evenly distributed inlet pipe branches, leading into the bottom of the space over the insulation 8. From here the warm air distributes evenly under the whole planting table. At the side of the space 6 there are outlet channels for the air, which is sucked out from these channels through the pipe for re-heating.
Thus a closed hot-air system is made which is very economic, as no waste of hot-air to the space of the greenhouse takes place.
In order to ensure an even distribution of temperature in the planting table a horizontal dividing plate may be mounted in the space 6, under which plate the hot inlet air distributes, and where there are openings at the side for the inlet to the upper part of the space under the heat-conducting plate 4 and the plastic plate 1. Prom this upper space the air is sucked out for re-heating.
