Description

  TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a seedling cultivation method and an elevated cultivation apparatus for strawberry cultivation in the agricultural field.

The procedure of the strawberry high cultivation method generally performed is as shown in FIG.
First, the rooting part 3 of the runner 2 that grows from the strawberry parent 1 is dipped in a seedling pot 4 containing soil to pick seedlings “Seedling work 10”, and “Seedling work” that grows the seedlings to a certain extent 11 ”and“ fixed planting work 12 ”for planting the seedlings that have been raised in the culture medium 50 in the cultivation container 50 of the tall cultivation apparatus 5 installed in advance, the work shifts to cultivation management.
The “seedling work 10” and the “nurturing work 11” are usually performed in the nursery building, while the subsequent “fixed planting work 12” and cultivation management are generally performed in the cultivation building.
Such a cultivation procedure is also a natural premise in Patent Document 1 which discloses a production method by so-called strawberry relay cultivation.
JP 2004-208550 A

However, in the above method, since the seedling is removed from the seedling pot 4 during the “fixed planting operation 12” and the replanting operation to the medium 51 in the cultivation container 50 occurs, considerable labor is required.
In addition, the producers were strongly required to fundamentally improve the replanting work.
Furthermore, the reduction of the space reservation for "nurturing work 11" and the weight reduction and simplification of the high cultivation apparatus were also requested | required.

  Then, this invention aims at provision of the strawberry cultivation method which can abbreviate | omit the conventional "fixed planting" operation | work by utilizing the seedling tray only for strawberries, and the tall installation apparatus for it.

The present invention uses a double-integrated seedling tray among the strawberry-only seedling trays, and puts the trays that have been "seedling" as they are on the shelf for elevated cultivation, from "nurturing" to "cultivation" It is a continuous cultivation method and a light and simplified double-integrated seedling tray tall cultivation device.
That is, a method for cultivating a strawberry characterized in that seedlings are taken from a strawberry parent strain into a strawberry nursery tray, and the strawberry seedling tray is placed on an elevated cultivation apparatus and strawberry seedlings are continuously grown and cultivated as they are. (Invention of Claim 1).
In this method, since seedling and cultivation are continuously performed without replanting, the “fixed planting” work for planting in a conventional medium can be omitted, and a great deal of labor can be reduced.
In addition, since it is possible to reduce the nursery space that was conventionally required, it is possible to increase the height of cultivation equipment and to effectively use the facility space.

Moreover, as a seedling tray for exclusive use of the strawberry, while having two pot parts in the direction crossing the longitudinal direction of the elevated cultivation apparatus, the pot parts are parallel to the two rows along the longitudinal direction of the elevated cultivation apparatus. A plurality of strawberry-only nursery trays provided are used (the invention according to claim 2).
This method does not require separate cultivation containers from seedling collection to raising seedling and cultivation, and allows cultivation management from both sides of the elevated cultivation device as usual with the tray placed on the shelf pipe of the elevated cultivation device. At the same time, the amount of the medium can be reduced to less than half of the conventional amount, and the weight of the tall cultivation apparatus can be reduced while reducing the cost.

Moreover, it is set as the cultivation method of the strawberry which enables adjustment of cultivation area by arranging the said seedling raising tray only for strawberries by the number of units according to the required length in the longitudinal direction of the said height cultivating apparatus (Claim 3). Invention described in 1.).
In this method, when a disease occurs, the spread of the infectious disease can be prevented quickly by replacing only the tray of the diseased part. In addition, the strawberry-dedicated tray provided with pot portions in two rows parallel to the longitudinal direction of the elevated cultivation apparatus can be laid with a liquid supply tube in the central longitudinal direction, and uses a conventional liquid supply system as it is. be able to.

A high-cultivating device with a light and simplified structure, equipped with two parallel shelves on which both ends of the strawberry-only nursery tray are placed and the number of strawberry-only nursery tray units according to the required length are arranged (Invention of claim 4).
It is about one-third the weight of a cultivation container in a state in which a conventional medium is contained, and simplification and weight reduction of the constituent members of the tall cultivation apparatus can be achieved.

It is set as the tall cultivation apparatus characterized by having the drainage groove which can be replaced | exchanged under the said strawberry dedicated seedling tray (Invention of Claim 5).
Since this drainage groove is separated from the strawberry-only seedling tray and attached, the drainage of the tray is good and the liquid supply management can be performed appropriately. Also, the structure is simple and can be replaced easily.

According to the present invention, it is an epoch-making thing which can omit the "fixed planting" operation | work which is a replanting operation | work among the processes of the conventional strawberry high cultivation procedure.
In addition, since the tidy of the strawberry stock after harvesting is changed to the removal of the tray from the conventional method of “reaping one by one”, the labor can be greatly reduced.
Furthermore, the conventional cultivation container becomes unnecessary, the usage-amount of a culture medium can also be reduced to half or less, and cost reduction can be performed.
Then, after the conventional “nurturing” work space to be reduced, an extension cultivation device can be added.

Embodiments of the invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
