Description

  The present invention relates to a method for cultivating Cucurbitaceae vegetables such as pumpkins, cucumbers, watermelons, and melons.

  Generally, plant seedlings are planted almost upright. The same applies to the cultivation of general vegetables and cucurbits. In such a conventional method for cultivating cucurbitaceae vegetables, the vine grows as the seedlings after planting grow, but the direction in which the vine grows is unspecified, so the field becomes messy and the vegetables to be harvested Fruit size, appearance, taste, quality, etc. are non-uniform, resulting in a decline in commercial value. In order to avoid such a situation, it is indispensable to align the vines in a certain direction. In the cultivation of soil, it is necessary to work in an unnatural posture of bending forward, and in the case of vinyl tunnel cultivation, the vines are U-turned in the tunnel. It was a troublesome task.

  Regarding the cultivation of pumpkins, Patent Literature 1 discloses a cultivation method including a step of attracting vines and extending them in a certain direction. Further, Patent Document 2 discloses a method for densely planting a stem with a string tied to a pipe in accordance with the elongation of the stem.

  In watermelon, in the case of the tunnel cultivation method, Patent Document 3 describes a method in which a vine is entangled with a string or a rod fixed to a support pillar and stretched in a certain direction.

Japanese Patent No. 3451421 JP-A-7-163241 JP 2006-204280 A

  An object of the present invention is to provide a new cultivation method that can align the direction of vine growth during cultivation of Cucurbitaceae vegetables in a certain direction, reduce the work of aligning the direction of vine growth that has been conventionally performed, and can be densely planted It is to be.

  The present inventor found that the seedlings of cucurbitaceae vegetables were planted at a fixed angle with respect to the ground, so that the growth point of the seedlings was inclined and extended in the planting direction, and the present invention was completed. .

The features of the present invention are summarized as follows.
(1) A method for cultivating Cucurbitaceae vegetables, which is planted obliquely at an angle of about 30 to 60 degrees with respect to the ground when planting cucurbitae vegetable seedlings on soil.
(2) The method for cultivating cucurbitaceae vegetables according to (1), wherein the cucurbitaceae vegetables are vegetables selected from pumpkins, cucumbers, watermelons, melons, shirouri and yugao.

  The vines are aligned in the same direction, making them less likely to get entangled, facilitating the attraction and branching of the vines, making it possible to save labor and light labor, and enable dense planting. Wind damage of the foliage can be reduced by planting at an angle toward the lee. The size, appearance, taste and quality of vegetable fruits can be made uniform, making cultivation very easy. This is a very labor-saving cultivation method for farmers.

  As shown in FIG. 1, seedlings are planted obliquely as a method of planting seedlings of cucurbitaceae vegetable seedlings. When the west wind or north wind blows, planting at an angle so that the vines grow from the eastward to the southward, which is leeward, reduces the wind damage of the foliage, which is a more preferable planting method. As shown in FIG. 2, the angle of planting is particularly preferably in the range of about 30 to 60 degrees with respect to the ground. It is particularly preferable to plant at an angle of about 45 degrees. In this way, in the conventional planting in a substantially perpendicular direction (FIG. 4), the direction of vine extension is not determined, but in the method of the present invention in which planting is performed obliquely, the direction of vine extension is determined as shown in FIG. Compared to the conventional method, the vine attracting / branching work is much more labor-saving and light labor. In addition, the vines are less likely to get tangled, making it easier to plant densely. Furthermore, since it becomes easy to realize uniform size, appearance, taste and quality as vegetable fruits, it is an unprecedented excellent cultivation method that can simultaneously increase the commercial value of harvested fruits.

  If this cultivation method is applied to the pumpkin variety “TC2A” for which application for kind registration has already been applied, it is possible to harvest a very good pumpkin.

  In April 2006, we planted a cucurbitaceae pumpkin in a vinyl tunnel at Watanabe Seeding Ground Semine Research Farm (221, Semine Suwahara, Kurihara City, Miyagi Prefecture). The seedlings were planted at an angle in the range of 30 to 60 degrees around 45 degrees in the north-south direction with the seedlings facing east. 200 plants were planted. As a result, 194 strains of the vine extended almost eastward. Therefore, it was possible to greatly reduce the work of attracting and pruning to set and care for the direction of the vine.

  The present invention may be applicable to plants that are cultivated in the field of agriculture, particularly in the field of agriculture.

The state in which the seedlings of the Cucurbitaceae are planted obliquely is shown. Indicates the angle for planting at an angle. It shows how vines grow by the oblique planting method of the present invention. The state by which the seedling was planted by the prior art is shown.

Claims (2)

The method for cultivating cucurbitaceae vegetables according to claim 1, wherein the cucurbitaceae vegetables are vegetables selected from pumpkins, cucumbers, watermelons, melons, shirouri and yugao.
