Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a method for cultivating plants such as vegetables, flowers and trees on a cultivation site such as a field.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when cultivating plants such as vegetables, flowers and trees, a method of sowing plant seeds or planting seedlings along ridges or the like formed on a cultivation site such as a field has conventionally been used. Have been.

[0003] In addition, seedlings and seedlings are sown and grown in a seedling raising site or a cultivation container filled with soil for plant cultivation provided in another place, and the seedlings grown to a predetermined size are removed.
There is also a method in which cultivation activities are carried out until planting is completed after planting along ridges formed on the cultivation land.

[0004] As described above, in the conventional cultivation method, plants planted on ridges or the like formed on the cultivation site can elongate the roots toward the ground to reduce the moisture and nutrients in the ground or the cultivated soil. Grow while absorbing. Also,
The roots that extend into the ground also have the function of supporting the stems and leaves of the plants above the ground.

[0005]

It is known that the growth state of a plant is greatly influenced by the elongation state and distribution state of the root. However, in the case of the conventional cultivation method, the root of the plant is
There is a tendency to concentrate on a portion that easily expands in the ground, for example, a soft portion of the soil or a void portion in the ground. In addition, when the roots are concentrated on a specific portion, the roots are entangled with each other, and the elongation is often inhibited. If the distribution state of the roots becomes uneven or the roots become entangled, the ability to absorb moisture and nutrients is not sufficiently exhibited, and the growth state of the plant is deteriorated.

In order to prevent such adverse effects, it is necessary to cultivate a deep part of the ground and to make the soil particles fine and uniform, but it is difficult to achieve perfection. Also, in recent years, due to the increase in weight accompanying the increase in the size of agricultural machines used in cultivation sites, ground hardening has progressed, so that the roots of cultivated plants cannot extend deep underground. And cause a decrease in nutrient absorption capacity.

[0007] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a cultivation method capable of activating the growth state of a plant and increasing the yield by increasing the ability to absorb roots.

[0008]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a cultivation method of the present invention comprises a spiral attracting device capable of attracting plant roots growing in a plant support for plant cultivation. It is characterized by being buried in the body and cultivating a plant on the plant support. Here, the plant support means a material such as soil culture, rock wool or a gel-like substance, in which plant roots can be grown and the plant can keep its posture.

[0009] By adopting such a cultivation method, the roots of the plant planted on the plant support are extended along the spiral attracting device, and the roots are not entangled with each other. Since the overall length is also increased, the ability to absorb moisture and nutrients is increased, the plant growth state is activated, and the yield can be increased. Further, when it is necessary to pull out the plant seedlings from the ground in a fixed planting operation or the like, the plant seedlings can be pulled out together with the spiral attracting device, so that workability is good and root damage is small.

[0010] In the cultivation method of the present invention, a spiral attracting device having a substantially cylindrical or substantially conical outer shape can be used. By using a spiral attracting device with a substantially cylindrical outer shape, it is possible to elongate the roots in the horizontal direction while suppressing the elongation of the roots in the horizontal direction. You. On the other hand, by using the spiral attracting device having a substantially conical outer shape, the root can be extended in a divergent state, so that the extended region of the root is enlarged and the ability to absorb moisture and nutrients is improved.

Further, in the cultivation method of the present invention, a plurality of spiral attracting tools can be combined and buried in a plant support. By using a plurality of spiral attractors, the elongation region of the root is expanded, so that the total elongation of the root is increased, and the ability to absorb moisture and nutrients is improved. In this case, as the plurality of spiral attracting tools, either a combination in which the directions of the spirals are opposite to each other or a combination in which the directions of the spirals are the same can be adopted.

On the other hand, in the cultivation method of the present invention, a spiral attracting tool formed of a synthetic resin can be used. Spiral attractors made of synthetic resin have high corrosion resistance and chemical resistance, so they are not damaged by fertilizers or disinfection, and have excellent durability when buried in plant supports such as cultivated soil. . In addition, since it is lightweight, it is easy to carry and handle. In this case, if the spiral attraction device is formed of a synthetic resin to which soil and the like are unlikely to adhere, the gap between the soil and the spiral attraction device is maintained without losing even when buried in the cultivated soil. The attraction function does not decrease, and cleaning after use is easy.

Furthermore, in the cultivation method of the present invention, a spiral attracting tool formed of a biodegradable material can be used. The spiral attracting tool formed of a biodegradable material is naturally decomposed and disappears after a predetermined period of time when buried in the soil, so that the collection operation is unnecessary. In this case, around the end of the cultivation period, if the spiral attractor is formed of a material having biodegradability that disappears in the soil, it is unnecessary to collect the spiral attractor after the cultivation period. Therefore, labor saving can be achieved.

Also, as shown in FIG.
1, since the outer shape is substantially cylindrical, it is possible to extend the root 14 downward while suppressing the elongation of the root 14 in the horizontal direction, and the root becomes longer than in the case of linearly extending. The same growth state as deep cultivation can be obtained.

Further, since a bent portion 11a is formed at the upper end of the spiral attracting tool 11, this portion is exposed from the ground and buried, so that the bent portion 11a can be connected to the water supply pipe 15 or the plant 12 or the like. It can be used as a holding tool for stems and the like. In the spiral attracting device 11, the outer diameter, pitch, and total length of the spiral can be freely determined according to the type and properties of the plant to be cultivated.

Further, since the spiral attracting tool 11 is made of a synthetic resin having excellent corrosion resistance and chemical resistance, it is not damaged by fertilizer or disinfection and has good durability. Further, since the spiral attracting tool 11 made of synthetic resin is lightweight, it can be easily transported and handled. Further, in this case, since the synthetic resin constituting the spiral attracting tool 11 has a property that soil is hard to adhere, when the synthetic resin is embedded in the ridge 10,
Since the gap between the soil and the spiral attracting tool 11 is maintained without being lost, the attracting function of the root 14 does not decrease and cleaning after use is easy. In addition, if the spiral attracting tool 11 is formed of a synthetic resin having biodegradability enough to be naturally decomposed in soil at the end of the cultivation period, the collection operation after the end of the cultivation period becomes unnecessary, and labor can be saved. Can be planned.

On the other hand, for the purpose of transfer, etc.
When it is necessary to extract the plant 12 planted along the spiral, the plant 12 can be extracted together with the spiral attracting tool 11, so that workability is good and damage to the root 14 is small. Moreover, the removal operation after the end of the cultivation period is also easy.

Depending on the type and nature of the plant to be cultivated, it is possible to use a spiral attracting device having a substantially conical outer shape instead of the spiral attracting device 11. As a result, the elongation region of the root is expanded, and the ability to absorb moisture and nutrients is improved.

Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5 are longitudinal sectional views showing other embodiments.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, two spiral attractors 20, 21 having the same spiral direction are provided.
And embedded in the ridge 22. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the directions of the spirals are different from each other.
The spiral attracting devices 23 and 24 are combined and buried in the ridge 25.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a plurality of helical attractants 20, 21, 23, 24 are combined to form ridges 22, 25.
By burying in the plant, the elongation region of the plant root is expanded, so that the total length of the root is increased, and the ability to absorb moisture and nutrients is further improved. In this case, the cultivation method of FIG. 4 or FIG. 5 can be selected according to the type or property of the plant. Cultivation can also be performed by combining three or more spiral attracting tools.
