Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for easily cultivating lotus roots at ordinary homes. SOLUTION: The method for cultivating lotus roots comprises the following processes: putting clayey soil 8 in a pot up to about 20 cm depth, planting seed lotus 9 in the clayey soil 8, filling the pot with water throughout an entire period from the planting time to the harvest time, and keeping the temperature of the clayey soil at 15 deg.C-30 deg.C for at least 6 months. By this method, lotus roots each having 4 shorty sections are obtained because of using the clayey soil instead of using mixed soil with coarse fragments or clods of earth, which results in obtaining ill-shaped lotus roots.

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a method for cultivating lotus root using a pot for cultivation.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a method for cultivating lotus roots using a pot for cultivation, a method disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 99-82424 is known. This conventional method is to pour the culture solution in a pot, and float the small pieces of styrofoam on the liquid surface of this culture solution in a layered manner, and the stem part is projected upward from between the small pieces,
The styrofoam layer prevents light rays from the outside from entering the culture solution.

[0003]

According to the above-mentioned prior art, the factors that hinder the growth of crops are smaller than the method of cultivating gravel in a pot. However, the taste of the crop is apt to be inferior in the culture using the culture solution, as compared with the culture using the soil. In the conventional method, no consideration is given to temperature control, and even if the styrofoam layer is floated on the surface of the culture solution to block the heat, the effect is not sufficient.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems] For many years, the present inventor has accomplished the present invention by finding that the cultivation of lotus roots is greatly affected by the temperature of the soil and that growth exceeds 30 ° C. Is. That is, the lotus root cultivation method according to the present invention is premised on cultivation using a cultivation pot made of plastic or the like, and put a clay soil for planting seed lot in the pot, and on this clay soil The soil temperature was maintained at 15 ° C to 30 ° C for 6 months or more while watering was continued for the entire period from planting to harvesting.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 is a perspective view showing a state where lotus roots are cultivated by the method according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a sectional view showing a state where the lotus roots are cultivated, FIG. 3 is a plan view of a pot used for cultivation, and FIG. It is a side view of the pot used for cultivation.

First, the pot used for carrying out the method of the present invention will be described. Bowl 1 is plastic (polyethylene, etc.)
Or it consists of pottery, and its vertical dimension is about 60.
cm, the lateral dimension is about 100 cm, the depth is about 30 cm, the flange portion 2 is provided around the upper surface, and the drain port 3 is provided on the bottom surface.
Is provided. Also, the four corners of the bottom are round (R = 30
The roots of lotus root grow and can be cultivated in good shape by running away even if they hit the four corners.

Strut mounting holes 4 are provided at the four corners of the flange portion 2.
Is formed, a support 5 is erected in the mounting hole 4, and a seat 6 for protecting the wind and blocking light is attached to the support 5. This sheet 6
Contributes mainly to cold weather. Also, seat 6 (support 5)
It is not necessary to install it at all times, but install it as needed at the beginning of growth and the season of typhoons.

The bowl 1 is surrounded by a board 7 for heat insulation, and a gap is formed between the board 7 and the bowl 1 so that air flows. By forming the gap in this way, the cooling effect can be enhanced.

Next, a cultivation method using the above pot 1 will be described. First, the clay 1 is placed in the pot 1 to a depth of about 20 cm. When cultivating lotus roots, the shape of the lotus roots deteriorates if gravel or soil clods are mixed in. By using viscous soil, lotus roots can be obtained in 4 nodes due to soil pressure, resulting in tasty lotus roots.

The seed lotus 9 is planted on the above-mentioned viscous soil 8.
Planting will be done from mid to late April. Before this planting, prepare. Preparation for one bowl, 60 bark compost
Knead 0 g and 60 g of magnesia lime into the soil by the end of February,
A few days before planting (for example, 1 week before) 1 organic fertilizer
20g is applied, and 10% organic chemical fertilizer is applied in the middle of June after planting.
Apply 0 g.

It takes 7 to 8 months from planting to harvesting, and water is filled throughout this period. The water depth is preferably 9 to 11 cm until the middle of May, and the water depth is preferably 5 to 7 cm after the middle of May.

Further, according to the present invention, in order to prevent the temperature of the soil from being raised by direct sunlight, a small piece 1 of styrofoam is attached to the water surface.
0 is floating.

In the above, the bowl 1 is placed in a place where there is a good amount of sunlight and there is no fear of collapse due to strong wind, such as a vegetable garden.
Installed on a veranda or a greenhouse, keep the soil temperature at 15 ℃ to 30 ℃ for 6 months or more.

[0014]

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION Lotus roots prefer high temperatures in the aboveground parts and low temperatures in the underground parts. According to the present invention, even if the temperature is 30 ° C. or higher in the above-ground part and the temperature is 15 to 30 ° C. in the underground part, it is possible to create an ideal environment for cultivation of lotus root in a general household. That is, conventionally, the lotus root cultivation area is limited because temperature management is troublesome, but according to the present invention, such limitation is eliminated. Specifically, 4-7 kg of lotus root can be harvested per one pot, and this amount is comparable to the annual consumption of one family. Moreover, not only can the root portion be used for food, but the foliage and flowers can also be used for ornamental purposes.
