Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for breeding campanula plants by using cut-off branches obtained from other campanula plants. SOLUTION: This method for breeding campanula plants comprises the following steps: preparing cut-off branches obtained from any other plants, planting the cut-off branches at least in a set of two into a planter for sale (2), and thereafter making the thus planted cut-off branches (1) grow in a greenhouse until they are full-grown.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a method of industrially breeding Campanula by using cut branches from another Campanula plant, said method being of the kind described in the preamble of claim 1 It is.

[0002] Up to now, methods of the kind described above have been carried out by planting a single cut in a container filled with a cultivation base. In the first stage, the freshly cut vessel is first placed in a greenhouse until the plants are strong enough to be placed outdoors for further growth. Next, the container is filled until the plant has grown almost completely.
That is, they are placed outdoors until they grow to a size suitable for sale, and then returned to the greenhouse for the final growth stage before sale.

One of the problems with the above-mentioned conventional method is that the total cultivation period is very long because plants grow slowly outdoors. Therefore, it is difficult to respond quickly to market changes. In addition, fungi adhere to plants when placed outside the greenhouse, and it is almost impossible to completely remove these fungi.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above problems, it is an object of the present invention to provide a method of the type described at the outset with properties which are far more favorable than those of the corresponding prior art. This object is achieved by carrying out in the manner indicated in the characterizing part of claim 1. By doing this way at least 2
The cuttings of the book are planted at intervals on the surface of the substrate in the container, reducing the production period of the cultivation. This makes net greenhouse production economical. Also, plants have more stems to stand on, and they become more stable. By avoiding outdoor periods, fungal problems can be avoided.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS In the following detailed description of the invention, the invention is explained in more detail with reference to exemplary embodiments according to the invention illustrated in the drawings. Will. Of the said drawings, FIG. 1 shows a pot for sale with plants planted according to the prior art method, FIG. 2 shows a tray with a plurality of cells, and FIG. 3 has plants planted according to the invention. Shows flowerpots for sale.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION FIG. 1 shows a grown plant planted in a pot 2 for sale when cultivated by planting a single cut in a pot according to the method of the prior art. One cut 1 is planted in a pot for sale and after a certain period in the greenhouse,
That is, after a relatively short period of economic acceptance, the plants have not grown to a stage where they are ready for sale, as can be seen in FIG.

In the method according to the invention, the cutting 1 is
Rooting and growth stages can be performed in a tray with multiple cells in a greenhouse as shown in FIG. The tray 3 having a plurality of cells has a plurality of relatively small cells 4. Cutting branch 1
Are rooted and the space available for growth in the partition 4 is thus limited. The tray is designed according to certain criteria so that an automatic repotting device (not shown) can perform the repotting operation.

After an initial stage in a tray 3 with a plurality of cells, the germinated cuttings 1 are replanted in a pot 2 for sale. The germinated cut branches 1 are replanted in a pot for sale 2 with at least two or more set as one set. The two or more plants are then grown in a greenhouse (not shown) to fully mature plants. As can be seen from FIG. 3, the group of plants reach a size and appearance that can be sold after a relatively short period of time in the greenhouse.

Alternatively, the cut branches 1 can be planted directly in the cultivation base of the flowerpot 2 for sale, without using the tray 3 having a plurality of cells, as a set of two or more.

[0010] In general, it has been proven that the best results are produced by planting two to six cuttings 1 or germinated cuttings 1 in a set in a pot for sale.

For the "Blue Wonder" type Campanula, one set contains two or three cuts 1 or germinated cuts 1 for best results. "Elizabeth Oliver
For eth Oliver) type Campanula, one set contains 2 to 5 cuts 1 or germinated cuts 1 for best results.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the plants are exposed to a cooling period in a greenhouse, preferably every night while growing into fully mature plants. As a typical example, Campanula from natural habitats with cold nights require such treatments for optimal growth.

The pots for sale are filled with a cultivation substrate most suitable for the environment and type of Campanula.
Suitable cultivation bases are, for example, peat, soil, compound soil, ground mineral wool, perlite, vermiculite, or bark.

Cuts used for reproduction are provided by being collected from specific mother plants or commercial plants.

The method of Campanula breeding of the present application is particularly useful when combined with a semi-automatic or automatic device (not shown) that processes the different stages defined by the method of the present invention. This apparatus is used, for example, to fill the cultivation base layer into the tray 3 or the flowerpot 2 or to make a hole in the cultivation base layer for receiving a plant or a cut. Since such devices are themselves well known to those skilled in the art, they will not be described in detail here.
