DEVICE FOR IMPROVING THE CONDITIONS OF THE GROWING FLOOR

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a device for improving the conditions of the cultivation soil.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Currently, the methods of applying substances to the cultivation soil are carried out by irrigation, or by manual or mechanical incorporation of liquid, granulated or powdered substances, which are aimed at correcting a specific technical issue. This raises several drawbacks:

-in applications with irrigation, the application lasts what the irrigation lasts,

- In manual or mechanical applications the same thing happens, with the disadvantage that certain products in dust or grain can be dragged by the wind and not be effective, and even be harmful when released in non-chosen locations.

These drawbacks are remedied with the use of the device of the invention.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The device for improving the conditions of the cultivation soil of the invention comprises: a flexible sheet blanket made of biodegradable materials in contact with the cultivation soil, and

- some active ingredients for cultivation incorporated in said blanket, so that they are progressively released towards the cultivation soil when it decomposes, thus improving their physical, chemical and microbiological conditions.

The blanket can be placed on the surface of the cultivation soil and / or buried under the ground

That is going to be cultivated. On the surface of the crop soil it serves to: control weeds, pest repellents, reduce evaporation, provide slow release nutrients, application of biostimulants and fortifiers, reduce the accumulation of salts on the surface. Buried under the soil of the crop, it serves to: Water retention, nematicidal, insecticidal and fungicidal action, rooting action, incorporating active material and microorganisms, additive with any active substance that is released in contact with soil moisture.

In this way a means of treatment of the soil of uniform cultivation is obtained, respectful and technically adaptable to the soil and cultivation to the directed go. The degree of decomposition, permeability and other characteristics, will depend on the materials used in its manufacture, according to the technical needs required by the soil and the species to be cultivated. The sheets can be designed with the specific technical characteristics that are desired depending on the type of soil and crop to be established.

But it is also found as an additional advantage that several actions that improve the conditions of the crop can be combined, thereby reducing the costs and incidents in the crop and thus increasing the quantity and quality of the crop. We thus obtain a multifunctional treatment device for the cultivated soil. Thus with a single technique, multiple functions can be developed both for any type of agriculture, as for gardening and landscaping.

In addition, using biodegradable materials and using active ingredients that respect the environment is perfectly compatible with organic farming.

As indicated, the blankets can be located both on the surface and buried, being able to use both techniques at the same time, even forming a tube, where each sheet fulfills its function. It also allows to bury several sheets at different depths.

It should be mentioned that it is also possible to superimpose several blankets of the same or different composition, as well as adding any useful substance.

This technique allows its application to the ground both manual and mechanical.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

The device (1) for improving the conditions of the soil (2) of cultivation of the invention comprises:

-a flexible sheet (3) made of biodegradable materials in contact with the soil (2),

- some active ingredients (4) for the cultivation incorporated in said blanket (2), so that they are progressively released towards the cultivation soil when it decomposes, thus improving their physical, chemical and microbiological conditions.

Very preferably the blanket (3) is made of vegetable fibers, such as cellulose, cotton, coconut fiber, since they degrade naturally and have no additional or harmful effects, choosing one or the other fiber, and even mixtures thereof, in function of the desired delay in the decomposition of the blanket (3).

On the other hand, the active principles (4) can be any, for example, and not limitatively one or more of the following, being able to achieve a multifunctional effect if several are used:

-raising,

biostimulants

-fitofortifiers,

-repellent or biorepellent,

-organic and mineral nutrients,

-organic amendments,

- moisture retainers,

- microbiological substances,

-regenerators of the soil,

-nematicides,

-fungicides,

-weed controllers,

-fertilizers.

In addition, it is envisaged that the blanket (3) may have a monolayer or multilayer configuration where, in the first case the active ingredients (4) are included in the monolayer, and in the second case, the active ingredients (4) are found included in at least one layer (30, 31, 32) of the blanket (3). For example, the active ingredients (4) may be included in at least one intermediate layer (31) of the blanket (3); said blanket (3) comprising an upper end layer (30) and a lower end layer (32), as seen in fig 5.

The blanket (1) can be placed superficially on the soil (2) of the crop as seen in fig 1, buried as seen in fig 2, or one can be arranged superficially and one or more buried, as seen in fig 3.

Describing sufficiently the nature of the invention, it is indicated that the description thereof and its preferred embodiment should be construed in a non-limiting manner, and that it encompasses all of the possible embodiments that are deduced from the content of the present specification. and of the claims.
