Description

  The present invention relates to a seedling pot that can easily confirm the state of rooting, the wetness of soil in the pot, the presence or absence of pests, and the nursery bed that is an aggregate thereof when growing seedlings such as vegetables and flowering trees. is there.

Conventionally, when growing seedlings such as vegetables and flowering trees, seedlings are cultivated by sowing or cutting in colored seedling containers such as colored plastic pots, flat molds or egg container molds. In particular, seedling rooting and root growth are important during the seedling period up to the fixed planting, and usually colored seedling containers and opaque seedling containers that can be shaded are used so that the roots can grow easily. Furthermore, it is important that the root growth is appropriate so that root clogging and root winding do not occur. The prior art of the seedling raising container which can prevent these root clogging and root winding is disclosed (references 1 and 2).

  However, the above-mentioned prior art is effective in that it does not cause root clogging or root winding of seedlings and seedlings in raising seedlings, but the state of rooting of seedlings and seedlings, the soil wetness in pots, the presence or absence of pests, etc. In order to confirm by visual recognition, the seedlings and seedlings must be removed from the pot that is a seedling raising container and taken out, which may cause the ears and seedlings to weaken. In addition, it is difficult to determine the growth state of the underground root without taking out the seedlings or seedlings from the pot at the time of shipping or replanting, requiring a certain amount of experience and intuition. In particular, even though the above-ground part of seedlings grows well for amateurs, it is very difficult to determine the state of the inside of the pot such as the amount of roots in the underground part and the soil wetness and pests.

  The present invention has been completed by repeating trials in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and when growing seedlings such as vegetables and flowering trees, a seedling pot capable of easily confirming the state of rooting and its assembly It provides a nursery that is the body.

  A seedling pot according to claim 1 of the present invention for achieving the above object is a seedling pot consisting of a cylindrical side wall whose upper end opens and a bottom wall continuous to the lower end of the side wall, The seedling pot is composed of two seedling pots in which the seedling pot made of a transparent plastic material and the seedling pot made of an opaque plastic material on the outside are overlapped.

  According to this configuration, the seedling is put into a transparent seedling pot, and the seedling is sown by sowing and cutting, but the rooting state, especially the condition of root winding and root clogging, the soil wetness in the pot, the pest The presence or absence can be easily recognized. In addition, since the opaque seedling pots are superimposed on the outside, the situation of the underground part can be reproduced without being exposed to sunlight, and the seedling roots can be grown in a natural state. Moreover, the heat retention effect by overlapping a seedling pot can also be expected.

  In addition, the seedling pot according to claim 2 is a cylindrical side wall whose upper end is open, a plurality of inwardly extending grooves extending continuously up and down on the side wall, and an inclination in which the central part is inwardly recessed. A seedling pot having a surface and a bottom wall having a plurality of drainage grooves extending from the lower end of the side wall to the vicinity of the inclined surface, the seedling pot made of a transparent plastic material on the inside, and on the outside And the seedling pot made of an opaque plastic material is composed of two seedling pots in which the positions of the grooves are aligned and overlapped.

  According to this configuration, it is difficult for irrigation to accumulate at the bottom of the pot and drainage is good, thereby preventing rooting. In addition, by aligning the grooves on the side walls, the positioning of the seedling pots can be accurately positioned, and the drainage grooves of the inside and outside seedling pots are aligned, so that the drainage grooves can be prevented from being rooted without being blocked.

  The nursery bed according to claim 3 is a plastic material for integrating a plurality of the outer pots and upper ends of the plurality of outer pots to integrate the outer pots in the seedling pot according to claim 1 or 2. And a plurality of the inner pots inserted into and overlapped with each of the plurality of outer pots.

  A nursery bed according to claim 4 is characterized in that, in the nursery bed according to claim 3, a flat plate made of a plastic material is formed so as to be integrated with the upper ends of the plurality of inner pots. To do.

    According to these structures, since the upper part of the outside seedling pot is integrally connected via the flat plate, the seedling pot is arranged in an orderly manner, and it is easy to manage the irrigation, rooting state, and the like in the seedling operation. In addition, since the inner seedling pots can be inserted into and removed from the outer seedbed individually or integrally, it is easy to manage the seedlings as described above as a seedling bed. Therefore, when producing seedlings in large quantities, it is appropriate to use an integrated nursery bed by combining transparent and opaque seedling pots. When the variety is difficult to grow even in mass production, transparent seedling pots and opaque seedling pots are used. It is good to combine with a nursery, and it is possible to easily replace the nursery pot when the growth of seedlings fluctuates.

  According to the seedling pots according to claims 1 and 2 of the present invention, it is easy to check the growing state and the rooting state. This eliminates the need for unplugging and reduces the work. In addition, since the state of rooting amount and the like can be visually confirmed, it is easy to understand the timing of shipping and planting, so that the cycle of raising seedling and shipping can be shortened. Moreover, since the seedling pots are stacked, a heat retaining effect can be exhibited. Further, according to the nursery bed according to claims 3 to 4 of the present invention, the combination of the nursery bed of the transparent nursery pot and the nursery bed of the opaque nursery pot is suitable for mass production of the nursery seed, and scales the above-mentioned effects. It is possible to up. In addition, in the case of varieties that are difficult to grow even in mass production, a combination of a transparent seedling pot and an opaque seedling pot makes it possible to easily replace the seedling pot even if the breeding condition is uneven. Can be managed, and good quality seedlings can be shipped to the market, thereby obtaining the user's trust and leading to market evaluation.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view seen from the bottom showing one embodiment of a seedling pot according to the present invention. FIG. 2: is one Embodiment of the seedling pot based on this invention, Comprising: (a) is a bottom view, (b) is sectional drawing of AA arrow. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of an embodiment of the seedling pot according to the present invention in a state where the seedling pots are overlapped. FIG. 4 shows an embodiment of a nursery bed according to the present invention, in which (a) shows a nursery bed superimposed, and (b) shows a nursery pot inserted into the nursery bed. 5A is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG. 4A, and FIG. 5B is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG. 4B.

  The seedling pot 1 according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1, 2, and 3. The seedling pot 1 has a seedling pot 1a made of a transparent plastic material on the inside and a seedling pot 1b made of an opaque plastic material on the outside. It is composed by overlapping. These seedling pots 1a and 1b are plastic materials that are thin, strong, elastic to some extent, and difficult to deform because they hold seedlings and soil, and are easy to overlap or remove. Made of polymer material and manufactured by molding. For this plastic material, inexpensive plastics such as polyethylene and polypropylene are suitable. However, if environmental considerations are taken, such as reducing dust, opaque colored nursery pots and nurseries should be used repeatedly, and the inner transparent The seedling pot is preferably a biodegradable plastic that can be planted as it is.

  Further, the inside seedling pot 1a is transparent and is a so-called clear seedling pot, and the situation inside the pot in contact with the side wall 4, the bottom wall 2, and the inclined bottom surface 3 can be visually recognized. The outer seedling pot 1b is opaque, and is a colored seedling pot having a so-called red color as a representative example, and is manufactured using a plastic material manufactured by mixing a pigment with a plastic raw material. This opacity may be so deep that the seedling pot 1 is placed on the ground and exposed to sunlight, so that the inner roots and soil are not exposed to sunlight. In addition, the seedling pot 1a for raising seedlings by sowing seeds and cuttings is transparent and clear, so that not only the cultivation in the cultivation soil but also the rooting state can be visually confirmed, so the management of the growing situation, the planting and shipping In addition, it is possible to take measures before the state of root curling or root clogging, and to deal with pests at an early stage, and to easily grasp irrigation unevenness.

  The inside seedling pot 1a and the outside seedling pot 1b constituting the seedling pot 1 are substantially the same shape, but when the outside seedling pot 1b is made slightly smaller, the bottom wall is formed when the seedling pots 1a and 1b are overlapped. A gap is formed between the two and the inclined bottom surface 3, so that drainage of irrigation can be performed smoothly. The representative dimensions of the seedling pots 1a and 1b are such that the upper outer diameter is 7 to 8 cm, the lower outer diameter is 6 to 7 cm, and has a slight draft, and the depth is around 10 cm. As described above, the seedling pots 1a and 1b are substantially the same shape, have a cup shape, and the side wall 4 has a plurality of, that is, four to eight places (four places in this figure), and convex grooves on the inner side. 5 is formed, and when the seedling pots 1a and 1b are overlapped, the grooves 5 are aligned to be positioned in the cross-sectional direction. As a result, a position where drainage grooves 6 to be described later overlap correctly is taken, which helps to drain the seedling pot 1 smoothly. In addition, the presence of the groove 5 changes the root extending in the circumferential direction along the inner wall of the side wall 4 when seedlings or seedlings grow in the seedling pot 1a, so that root clogging or root winding is performed. Can be prevented.

  The bottoms of the seedling pots 1a and 1b are composed of an inclined bottom surface 3 whose center portion is raised in a convex shape inside, and a horizontal bottom wall 2 continuous from the bottom of the inclined bottom surface 3 to the lower end of the side wall 4. In addition, a plurality of drain grooves 6 that form a vertically long opening from the lower end of the side wall 4 to the bottom wall 2 are provided. With this configuration, drainage irrigated by the seedling pot 1 can be smoothly drained through the drainage groove 6 without accumulating at the bottom of the seedling pot 1a, thereby preventing rooting of seedlings and seedlings. Moreover, since the drainage groove 6 extends slightly from the lower end of the side wall to the upper direction, it is possible to avoid an excessive water-containing state at the bottom of the cultivation soil.

  FIGS. 4 and 5 show a nursery bed 10 in which the nursery pots 1 are arranged in multiple rows in the vertical and horizontal directions, and the nursery beds 10 in FIGS. 4a and 5a have different seedlings for the seedling pots 1a and 1b. A transparent seedling pot 1a group is arranged on a nursery bed 10a, 10b in which the upper part of the pot is connected by a flat plate 11 and the seedling pots 1a, 1b are integrally arranged, and the opaque seedling pots 1b are arranged. The nursery bed 10 is configured by inserting the nursery beds 10a so as to overlap each other. On the other hand, the nursery bed 10 of FIGS. 4b and 5b forms a nursery bed 10b in which the upper seedling pots are connected by a flat plate 11 and the nursery pot 1b group is integrated and arranged with respect to the outer opaque seedling pots 1b group. This is a nursery bed 10 formed by inserting a single transparent nursery pot 1a so as to overlap each seedling pot 1b of 10b.

  4a and 5a are suitable for mass production, and a group of seedling pots for growing seedlings and seedlings can be arranged in multiple rows in an orderly manner, so that the installation place can be used effectively in a compact manner. In addition, it is easy to perform operations such as fertilizer and watering, and it is easy to manage the breeding especially for the same variety. In addition, at the time of shipment such as fixed planting, handling such as transportation can be performed with the nursery, so work efficiency is good. The nursery bed 10 in FIGS. 4b and 5b is also suitable for mass production, but, unlike the former nursery bed, if the variety is difficult to grow, the nursery pot 1a can be replaced depending on the degree of growth. The degree of overall growth can be matched, and eventually the timing of shipping such as planting can also be matched.

  Regarding storage, when the seedling pots 1a, 1b or the overlapping seedling pots 1 are stored empty, they can be stacked and stacked, so that they are easy to handle and store. Similarly, in the seedbed 10, the transparent seedbed 10a and the opaque seedbed 10b can be stacked and stored, and the transparent seedbeds 10a or the opaque seedbeds 10b can be stacked and stored. As described above, it is excellent in storage and workability as a seedling container.
