Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a method for cultivating cherries.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, when cherries are cultivated, as shown in FIG.
11) are arranged in a standing tree style. In this case, the tree 11 has main branches 4, 4,... Branching from the main trunk 3 standing from the ground GL, and branch branches 5, 5,. (Hereinafter, also referred to as “fruit”) 7,7.
In recent years, forcing cultivation of cherries has been performed in order to adjust the shipping time. In this case, the whole tree 11 is covered with a house, and the steady time of the fruits 7, 7,... Is adjusted by appropriately adjusting the temperature in the house.

[0003]

However, the conventional cultivation method of cherries has the following problems. That is, in the conventional cultivation method, the tree 11 is very high because the trees are arranged in a standing tree arrangement. For this reason, stepping work such as a stepladder or a tripod must be used during work such as care of the tree 11 and harvesting of the fruits 7, 7,..., And the work is extremely complicated and dangerous to work at a high place. There is a problem that accompanies. Also, when forcing cherries to grow,
Since a large-sized house that covers the entirety is required, the construction cost of the house rises, and as a result, the production cost also rises. Further, when a large house is used, the temperature and humidity vary between the upper part and the lower part in the house. For this reason, there is also a problem that the growth degree of the fruits 7, 7... At the low position and the high position in the tree 11 is different, resulting in variations in taste and coloring, and a shift in shipping time.

[0004] The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and it is possible to safely and easily perform operations such as caring for trees and harvesting fruits, and to maintain a constant quality of fruits during forcing cultivation. It is a main object to establish a cultivation method of cherries that can be maintained and that can reduce production costs.

[0005]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for cultivating cherries, wherein cherries are cultivated on shelves on a flat shelf.

[0006] The cultivation method of cherries according to claim 2 comprises:
The cultivation method of cherries according to claim 1, wherein after arranging the first main branch in the cherry tree so as to branch off from the main trunk in the vicinity of the flat shelf, the main branch excluding the first main branch and the tip of the main trunk are separated. It is characterized by pruning and inviting the first main branch to shelf on a flat shelf.

[0007] The cultivation method of cherries according to claim 3 comprises:
The cultivation method of cherries according to claim 2 is characterized in that a plurality of side branches branched from the first main branch are arranged in a comb shape at predetermined intervals along a flat shelf.

[0008] The cultivation method of cherry according to claim 4 is as follows.
The cultivation method of cherries according to any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the cherries are covered with a house and flat shelves, and cherries are forcibly cultivated in the house.

[0009]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of a method for cultivating cherries according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0010] First, a cherry tree 1 is planted on the ground GL, and a height of 2 to 3 m is set so as to cover the entire tree 1.
Set up a house of the degree. Next, as shown in FIG. 1, a flat shelf 2 is installed in the house (in FIG. 1, the illustration of the house is omitted). In this case, as the flat shelf 2, a type in which a metal pipe or a resin pipe is combined to form a horizontal shelf surface with respect to the ground GL, or a metal wire is stretched horizontally on a main pillar erected in a house. It is possible to adopt a type that passes and forms a shelf surface. In this case, as an example, metal pipes 2a, 2b, 2b...
Are combined to form the flat shelf 2. In addition, the flat shelf 2 is preferably formed at a height that allows the worker to bend down under the shelf and perform the care and harvesting work of the tree 1 without using a step platform. It is preferable to form the shelf surface by combining the pipes 2a, 2b, 2b,. In this state, the tree 1 is grown.
In this case, as shown in the figure, it is preferable that the main trunk 3 grows almost vertically toward the flat shelf 2 and that the main branch 4 is branched so as to be branched near the shelf surface of the flat shelf 2. Thereby, there is no obstacle around the main trunk 3 that hinders the operation, so that the farm equipment can be brought very close to the main trunk 3 during the operation. Therefore, the work around the tree 1 becomes very easy as compared with the tree 11 with a standing tree.

Next, after the tree 1 has grown to some extent,
, The other main branches 4a, 4b and the tip 3a of the main trunk 3 are pruned at the positions of broken lines A, B while leaving the main branch 4 (the first main branch in the present invention) branched from the main trunk 3 in the vicinity of. . In this case, the main branches 4 to be left without being pruned are 1..
Those branched from the main trunk 3 at a height of about 3 to 1.5 m are preferable. In addition, cherries are known to have the property that the lower branch is dominant. Therefore, main branch 4
Even if a is left without being pruned, the water and nutrients sucked up from the ground GL are absorbed by the main branches 4 and 4b, so that the main branch 4a is undeveloped. Moreover, since valuable water and nutrients are sucked into the main branch 4a,
As a result, growth of b is also hindered, resulting in a decrease in the yield of the tree 1 as a whole and a decrease in the quality of cherries. On the other hand, when the main branch 4b is left without being pruned,
As a result of b, the growth of the main branch 4 is hindered, and as a result, the yield of the tree 1 as a whole and the quality are also reduced. Therefore, the main branches 4a and 4b and the tip 3a of the main trunk 3 need to be securely pruned.

Next, as shown in FIG. 2, a main branch 4 is grown obliquely upward from the main trunk 3, and the main branch 4 is attracted and shelved on the flat shelf 2. More specifically, the main branch 4 is grown along the pipe 2a by bending the main branch 4 in the horizontal direction, attracting the main branch 4 to the shelf surface of the flat shelf 2, and fixing the main branch 4 to the pipe 2a with, for example, a resin string. Subsequently, as shown in FIG.
In accordance with the growth of the tree 1, the side branches 5, 5,... Are horizontally extended at predetermined intervals along the pipes 2b, 2b,. In this case, it is preferable to arrange the side branches 5, 5,... So that the side branches are alternately branched right and left from the main branch 4 at an interval of about 15 to 25 cm. As a result, the axial distance L between the side branches 5 and 5 extending in the same direction with respect to the main branch 4 becomes about 30 cm to 50 cm, so that the twigs 6 branching from the side branch 5 become adjacent side branches 5.
Does not interfere with the twigs 6 branching from
The sunlight is evenly and uniformly applied. As a result, the twigs 6, 6
·············································································································································· As a result, uniform taste and coloration can be efficiently produced. Also,
It is preferable that the main branch 4 is pruned at a length of about 4 m from the branch part of the main trunk 3, and the side branches 5, 5... Are pruned at a length of about 2.5 m from the branch part of the main branch 4. As a result, water and nutrients sucked up from the main trunk 3 reach the fruits 7, 7,... Sufficiently through the twigs 6, 6,..., And as a result, excellent fruits 7, 7,. Thereafter, at the time of harvesting, the worker can easily pick up the fruits 7, 7,... From the twigs 6, 6,.

[0013] As described above, the height of the tree 1 can be arbitrarily determined by cultivating the tree 1 on the flat shelf 2 and cultivating the tree 1.
7 can be performed. In addition, when forcing cultivation is performed by employing this cultivation method, a relatively small house can be used, so that the temperature difference and the humidity difference between the upper part and the lower part in the house can be reduced, It is possible to cultivate constant, high-quality fruits 7, 7... Furthermore, since the tree 1 can be covered with a small and short house, the temperature in the house can be adjusted with a small amount of fuel. Also, by branching the side branches 5, 5,... And the twigs 6, 6,... Horizontally along the shelf surface of the flat shelf 2, fruits 7, 7,. As a result, the occurrence of pests can be suppressed.

[0014] The present invention is not limited to the cultivation method described in the embodiment of the present invention. For example, in the embodiment of the present invention, an example has been described in which the main branch 4 branched from the main trunk 3 is attracted in the vicinity of the flat shelf 2 and shelved on the flat shelf 2. So, Master 3
The main branches 4, 4 a, 4 b may be pruned while leaving the tip 3 a, and the tip 3 a may be led to be mounted on the flat shelf 2. In this case, after the tip portion 3a has grown to some extent, the tip portion 3a is cut while leaving a portion of the flat shelves shelved for a predetermined length, so that the main branch 4 is cut from the cut portion.
Grow. As a result, the vigor of the tree 1 is increased, so that high-quality fruits 7, 7,... Can be cultivated in large quantities. In the embodiment of the present invention, the side branch 5 and the main branch 4
Although an example in which 5... Are branched left and right alternately has been described, the present invention is not limited to this, and the side branches 5, 5.
Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, only the main branch 4 is
However, the number of main branches to be shelved on the flat shelf 2 is not limited to this, and two or more main branches or the tip 3a of the main trunk 3 and the main branch 4 are connected to the flat shelf 2. May be shelved. In this case, for example, the main branch 4b is left without being pruned, and the main branch 4b is shelf-mounted on the flat shelf 2 as shown by a broken line in FIG.
4b can be extended. Further, the height of the flat shelf 2 and the lengths of the main branch 4 and the side branch 5 shown in the embodiment of the present invention are merely examples, and can be appropriately changed according to the climate, the topography of the planting area, and the like. .

[0015]

As described above, according to the cherry cultivation method of the present invention, the height of the tree can be arbitrarily adjusted by shelving the cherry tree on a flat shelf whose height of the shelf surface is appropriately adjusted. Because it can be regulated, it is possible to care for trees and harvest cherries without using a springboard. As a result, the burden on the worker is reduced, so that the cultivation work is extremely efficient and easy. In addition, unlike work using a step platform, work at high places is not required, so that work safety can be improved. Furthermore, when forcing cultivation is performed by employing this cultivation method, a small house can be used, so that the construction cost of the house and, consequently, the production cost can be reduced. Further, by using a small house, the temperature difference and the humidity difference between the upper and lower parts in the house can be reduced, so that cherries of constant and high quality can be cultivated.
