Description

The present invention uses an attracting strap attaching hook for easily attaching and removing attracting straps and cucumber nets, and uses the attracting strap attaching hook to save labor for hanging crops and prolong cultivation. Is the method.

In the past, attracting straps for crop invitations have been generally tied directly to the strap hanging wire or iron wire laid in the direction of the crop, and it takes time to install and remove the attracting straps. It took time and effort. On the other hand, in the conventional hanging of crops, it is general to take the method of removing the attracting string from the tree body, and lowering the tree body and binding it again, which takes time and labor. In addition, there are methods to cultivate without hanging, such as bending the tree several times along the attracting string stretched in a lattice and fixing it with tape, but all require significant changes in the cultivation method However, there were doubts about the effect on the amount of material investment, and farmers often left off the introduction.

The conventional method is to tie an attracting string directly to a string for hanging a string or an iron wire laid in the direction of the crop, fix the crop to the string, and when the crop grows to a certain height It is common to remove the item from the attraction strap and adjust the height again to fix it again. With this method, the weight of the tree / fruit (depending on the height of the tree and the amount of fruit may be about 10kg or more per tomato) is removed by the operator's arm when removed from the attraction strap. It will be supported and will be hard labor. In addition, since one arm supports the tree, fixing work must be performed with the other arm, and work efficiency does not increase (a frontage 7.2m × depth 48m in a house, about 700 pieces). The tomato hanging work took about 4-5 hours for two people). In addition, the tree body is supported at a single point, and there is a high risk of the tree body breaking. At the end of the cultivation, we use a knife such as scissors or a kama to remove the attraction string, but it is physically difficult and dangerous to cut off the attraction string tied at a high place. In addition, if there is unattractive string left on the wire or iron wire, PP string or the like may decay and become shattered, which may scatter and enter the eyes or trachea, and must be carefully removed. This is one of the more time-consuming tasks than I imagined. Although hooks with a thread winding function are also available on the market, it is necessary to unwind the pull string from each hook and suspend the crops when hanging. The material itself is expensive. Since the lifting and unloading work overlaps with the peak harvest time, these methods are time consuming, the work is not in time for the growth of the plant, and care is not taken care of. The result is overgrowth, leading to the occurrence of pests, often resulting in yield reduction, quality degradation, and early round-up. Therefore, abandonment of scale expansion or suspension is not carried out, and cultivation is completed in a short period of time. On the other hand, vertical pillars such as straight pipes are set up every 2 to 3 m in parallel with the fence on both sides of the fence, and attracting strings are attached to the pillars in a lattice pattern, attracting vertically from the ground, and attracting strings in the horizontal direction. Bend the tree at a right angle at a height of, and fix it with tape etc. to extend the tree horizontally, and when it reaches the attracting string in the vertical direction, bend the tree vertically at a right angle and fix it with tape. There is also a method of long-term harvesting without hanging, by repeatedly extending the tree in a zigzag manner. However, there is little merit of labor saving because it takes time and labor to work on the support pillars, to draw the attraction straps in a grid, and to remove them, and it is necessary to carry out fixing work with tape almost every day during cultivation. Moreover, since a considerable number of columns are required, problems such as enormous equipment costs and securing storage locations other than the cultivation period also occur. Even when viewed from the growth surface of the tree, bending the tree a plurality of times at right angles places a heavy burden on the tree and further reduces the air permeability due to the crowding of leaves, leading to the generation of pests. Moreover, since it is not able to receive enough sunlight, it inhibits photosynthesis, leading to poor growth of the plant body and a risk of yield reduction. Thus, in the conventional work, it takes time and labor, and neither labor saving nor long harvest time can be expected. Therefore, an article that can be easily attached and removed from the attraction strap or cucumber net is created and the hanging work is performed. Save labor.

Bending special steel wire or stainless steel wire to create a hook for attracting straps. The hook shape shown in FIG. 1 is an example, but the hook portion does not extend even when the weight of the plant is applied, and the hook shape does not shift or rotate with respect to the force from the lateral direction. Attach it to the wire or iron wire for hanging the string, just above the number of the crop, and attach it by pulling the attracting string or the cucumber net with the tip processed into a ring. . For the cultivation of crops that require hanging work, the attracting string is placed on the hook as many times as the planned number of suspensions, and the crop is tied and wrapped around the attracting string hanging from there. When hanging, remove the attracting strap step by step from the attracting strap attaching hook and repeat this.

The hooks for attaching attracting straps can be used for all crops that require attraction and can be attached and removed. Even if it is replaced, it can be handled, and materials are not wasted. If you are a manufacturer that makes house materials by bending and producing the same materials (special steel wires, etc.) and stainless steel wires as parts for greenhouses, there is no need to prepare separate raw materials. , Material costs and processing costs can be reduced. In addition, it is resistant to weathering, bending, bending, and rust, and can be used continuously over a long period of time. At the time of planting, it is only necessary to make a planting hole just below the attracting strap attachment hook, so there is no need to measure the planting position even with a mulch (such as old vinyl) without a mark. Attracting straps are simply hooked to the attracting strap attachment hook on the attracting strap attachment hook, so when the agricultural season is low or when time is available, the leading end of the attracting strap must be processed in advance in an air-conditioned room. Thus, the work time outdoors or in the house during high temperatures in summer and cold in winter can be greatly reduced, and the physical burden on the farmer can be reduced. In addition, even when the attraction strap is removed, it is only necessary to remove the attraction strap from the attraction strap attachment hook, and the work is quick. Since no cutting tool such as scissors is used, work can be done safely. As for the hanging method, it is only necessary to lower the attracting strap on the attracting strap attachment hook and wrap the tree, so that the operator does not need to support the tree for a long time and can work with both hands when winding. Therefore, the work efficiency can be improved and the suspension work can be completed in a short period of time. (In a house with a frontage of 7.2m × depth of 48m, two people can suspend about 700 tomatoes in about half an hour of the conventional method. Have a track record of lowering). Since the distance between the attracting strap attachment hooks itself becomes the length of the attracting strap to be hung, it can be hung at a constant height, and there is no need to adjust the height of the crop. In addition, it is possible to put the attracting straps that are suspended multiple times on the attracting strap attachment hook, so the longer the cultivation, the greater the merit of labor saving, and conversely, the longer harvesting is possible Become. If it is possible to avoid long-term harvest-type cultivation by avoiding high temperature damage to crops due to high temperatures in the summer and keeping warm in the winter by using a heater, etc., the number of planting / planting and crop removal operations can be reduced. It can be harvested continuously, income is not interrupted, and the seedling cost is expected to decrease significantly, increasing the income of farmers and giving them time, contributing to the realization of ample agriculture and restless agriculture. And the biggest feature is the technology that is an extension of conventional cultivation methods, so there is no need to change the cultivation techniques and methods that have been cultivated over many years, and there is no worry of yield loss due to failure, so farmers can introduce it with peace of mind. It can be done.

Examples of attracting string attaching hooks in house tomato cultivation and a labor-saving hanging method using the hooks will be described.
Tomatoes are planted in a staggered pattern of 25 cm between plants. (House frontage 7.2m x depth 50m, ridge width 180cm, approximately 720 regular plants at 4cm)
In this embodiment, the number of suspensions is two.
The string hanging wire or iron wire 2 (hereinafter referred to as a hanging wire) is 2 per person and 8 per person in a form parallel to the reed at the upper part of the reed. If possible, the laying height of the suspension line is set as high as possible within the range where the worker can work (about 180 to 200 cm from the passage, depending on the height of the worker). (In this example, it is set to 200cm)
First, a hook 1 for attracting straps (hereinafter referred to as a hook, FIG. 1) is attached to the fishing line 2 before planting tomatoes (preferably in front of the tomato). The hooks 1 are attached at an interval of 50 cm and are shifted by 25 cm so as to form a staggered pattern on the adjacent suspension lines of the same rod 3. The hook 1 is attached toward the passage side (FIG. 2).
The attracting string 4 is made in the required length for the number of tomatoes (in this case, 720), and one end is processed into an annular shape (the annular part is about 20 cm) (FIG. 3).
The required length of the attracting string 4 is the distance to the position where the attracting string hung from the hook 1 is bound to the tomato 5 (in this case, 150 cm in order to bind at a height of about 50 cm), and will be suspended. The number of times x 50 cm (the length of the attraction strap placed on the hook), plus the length necessary for ring processing and tying to the tree (about 50 cm including the spare). (Example: If the suspension line is 200cm high and you plan to suspend it twice, it will be 150cm + 2 x 50cm + 50cm and 300cm. The type of attracting string will not bite into the tomato tree when it is wound and loaded. Avoid hard and thin items, and prefer soft and thick ones. Select ones with strength and weather resistance that can withstand long-term use.
After culling and mulching, the tomato 5 is tilted and planted. The planting position is directly below the hook 1 (FIG. 2).
Before the attraction work starts, the annular portion of the attraction string 4 is hooked on the hook 1 and two steps (about 100 cm) are placed on the hook 1 and the rest is hung.
It is necessary to check the direction of the inclination of the tomato 5 in the direction in which the attraction string 4 is placed. If the direction is incorrect, the suspension cannot be suspended. Check again before lifting, and if it is wrong, start again. If the period until the attracting work is too long, the weight is not applied, and the attracting string 4 may be detached from the hook 1 due to wind or the like. Therefore, the work immediately before the attracting work is desirable.
When the tomato 5 has grown to a state where it can be attracted, the height is such that one stage of fruit does not reach the mulch on the attracting string 4 lowered from the hook 1 shifted by 1 m (two hooks) in the tilt direction from the planting position. Adjust and tie, wrap and attract diagonally (Fig. 4).
Wrap along with the growth of the tomatoes. As a guide, after the second stage of harvesting, remove the attracting string 4 that was placed on the hook 1 from the hook 1, hang it, and wrap it. This operation is repeated as the tomato grows (FIG. 5).
At the end of cultivation, the annular part of the attracting string 4 is removed from the hook 1 and dropped, and taken out of the house to avoid continuous cropping problems.
Although it is possible to place attracting straps that can only be placed on the hook, it becomes difficult to work with the attracting straps. For example, if the total length of the attracting straps is too long during long-term harvesting, two attracting straps are required. Divided into two, one is processed into an annular shape, hooked onto a hook, placed, and then the tip of the other strap is attached to the tip of the strap. Still, it seems that it is the limit to place 5 pieces (250cm) of pulling straps on the hook. Therefore, as a method of hanging more than that, 100cm pulling straps are processed into a ring shape, which is the number of tomatoes. Prepare it and fasten it to the looped part of the strap. After hooking the annular string on the adjacent hook, the annular part of the hanging string is removed from the hook, so that it is possible to suspend it by one step.
In addition, hooks are alternately attached to a single suspension line in the direction of the passage and in the center of the cocoon at intervals of 25 cm, and the crops are attracted and suspended by the string placed on the hook in the center of the cocoon. When you have finished hanging the straps facing the center of the heel, place the straps on the hooks facing the passage in the same way.取 り 外 し Remove the strap from the hook facing the center, tie the annular part and the tip of the strap toward the passage, and hang it again with the strap toward the passage, so that it is suspended twice (about 10 times). Lowering is possible.
