In the zucchini cultivation method according to the present invention, it is not always necessary to use the movable latch 36, and the attracting string 32 may be wrapped directly around the stem of the zucchini P and latched. Moreover, although the example which the horizontal slide part 38 winds and attracts the attracting string 32 is shown here, the attracting string 32 is not basically unwound during cultivation of zucchini P.

  Moreover, the attracting line 30 is installed along the culture medium 10 such as a cocoon for planting a zucchini strain or a cultivation tank for hydroponics. Although there is no limitation in particular in the installation height of the attraction line 30, it is usually about 180 cm-200 cm. Further, the zucchini P may be single-row planted or double-row planted as shown in FIG. However, in the case of two-row planting, it is preferable to employ two-row zigzag planting that is planted obliquely opposite as shown in FIG. Then, in the case of double row planting, one induction line 30 is installed on each side of the culture medium 10. Even in the case of single-row planting, it is preferable to provide one attracting line 30 on each side of the culture medium 10. At this time, the attracting line 30 is not placed directly above the zucchini stock but is shifted outward from the planting position of the stock. And when performing the below-mentioned lateral attraction process, in the case of single row planting, as shown to Fig.2 (a), an attraction direction is made into a reverse direction for every stock | strain, and the overlap of stock comrades is avoided. In the case of two-row planting, as shown in FIG. 2 (b), the attracting direction is set in the reverse direction for each line to avoid overlapping of the stocks. As a result, it is possible to secure sunshine and ventilation to the zucchini P and improve workability.

  Moreover, although there is no limitation in particular in the fixing tool 34 used for the cultivation method of zucchini concerning this invention, using the clip, ring, pinch etc. which the attracting string 32 is detachably fixed to one end, and the other end can be opened and closed. Is preferred. Although there is no particular limitation on the movable hook 36, it is preferable to use an S-shaped hook or the like that can be easily attached to and detached from the stem of the attracting string 32 and the zucchini P.

  Next, a method for cultivating zucchini according to the present invention will be described. Here, the description will be made using four movable latches 36, but the number of movable latches 36 is not particularly limited, and any number may be used. The number of movable latches 36 is preferably about 4 to 7 although it depends on the type and size of zucchini.

  First, as shown in FIG. 1, a zucchini P strain is planted at a predetermined position in the culture medium 10. Then, the draw string 32 is suspended from the draw line 30 for each stock.

  Next, when the zucchini P grows and the stem length T1 reaches a predetermined length (plant height), the fixture 34 is fixed below the stem of the zucchini P. At this time, the stem length T1 of zucchini P is approximately 30 cm ± 10 cm, and 30 cm to 35 cm is particularly preferable. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 3, the attracting string 32 is fixed to the stem of the zucchini P via the fixture 34. When fixing the fixture 34, it is preferable to cut 8 to 10 leaves of zucchini P from the bottom in advance and fix the fixture 34 near the upper end of the leaf notch. At this time, the zucchini P leaves are basically limited to 3 per day.

  Next, the first movable latch 36 a is hooked on the stem of the zucchini P above the fixing position of the fixture 34. As a result, the zucchini P is supported by the attracting string 32 via the fixture 34 and the first movable latch 36a. In addition, it is preferable that the latching position of the 1st movable latching tool 36a at this time shall be a position around 10 cm from the tip of the zucchini P. The above is equivalent to the attracting string fixing step in the zucchini cultivation method according to the present invention.

  And if zucchini P grows and a front-end | tip extends, according to this, the 1st movable latch 36a will be moved suitably, and a latching position will be maintained in the position about 10 cm from a front-end | tip. As shown in FIG. 4, when the distance L1 between the fixture 34 and the first movable latch 36a reaches a predetermined value, the movement of the first movable latch 36a is stopped and the first movable latch 36a is stopped. A second movable latch 36b is provided above the movable latch 36a to latch the zucchini P stem. The maximum value of the distance L1 between the fixture 34 and the lowermost movable latch 36 (first movable latch 36a) at this time depends on the type and size of the zucchini P, but is generally about 15 cm to It is set in the range of 30 cm, and 20 cm is particularly preferable. This value is also applied to the maximum values of intervals L2, L3, and L4 between the movable latches 36, which will be described later. Therefore, the intervals L1 to L4 change below the maximum values.

  Further, the second movable latch 36b is appropriately moved according to the growth of the zucchini P, and the latching position is maintained at a position about 10 cm from the tip of the zucchini P. When the zucchini P further grows and the distance L2 between the first movable latch 36a and the second movable latch 36b reaches the maximum value, the movement of the second movable latch 36b is increased. After stopping, a third movable latch 36c is provided above the second movable latch 36b to latch the zucchini P stem. Similarly, the third movable latch 36c is moved according to the growth of the zucchini P. Further, when the distance L3 between the second movable latch 36b and the third movable latch 36c reaches the maximum value, the movement of the third movable latch 36c is stopped, A third movable latch 36d is provided above the third movable latch 36c to latch the zucchini P stem. Similarly, the third movable latch 36c is moved according to the growth of the zucchini P. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 5, the zucchini P is supported by the attraction string 32 via the fixing tool 34 and the four movable latches 36a to 36d. In the configuration in which the attracting string 32 is directly wound around the stem of the zucchini P without using the movable latch 36, the attracting string 32 is appropriately wound to support the zucchini P.

  Further, when the zucchini P grows and the leafy range exceeds a predetermined length (preferably in the range of 80 cm to 150 cm, particularly preferably 80 cm), the zucchini P leaves are removed in order from the bottom, and FIG. As shown, the length T2 of the leafy range is maintained at a substantially constant length (preferably in the range of 50 cm to 150 cm, particularly preferably 80 cm). This corresponds to the leaf notching step in the method of cultivating zucchini according to the present invention. Zucchini P leaves are basically limited to 3 per day.

  Further, when the leaf notching step is performed, the fixing tool 34 is once removed from the attracting string 32 and the stem of the zucchini P, and is positioned near the upper end of the leaf notching portion and fixed again. Thereby, the fixing position of the fixing tool 34 moves upward. In addition, when the leaf notch is made to the latching position of the movable latch 36, the movable latch 36 is temporarily removed and reused as appropriate according to the growth of the zucchini P. Further, in the configuration in which the attracting string 32 is directly wound around the stem of the zucchini P without using the movable latch 36, after the fixing tool 34 is removed, the lower attracting string 32 wound around the stem is appropriately unwound and the fixing tool 34. Move.

  Then, the leaf notch process and the movement of the fixture 34 are performed as needed, and when the distance L1 between the fixture 34 and the lowermost movable latch 36 is approximately 5 cm or less, the lowermost movable latch 36 ( Here, the first movable latch 36a) is removed from the attracting string 32, and as shown in FIG. 7, on the uppermost movable latch 36 (here, the fourth movable latch 36d). Installed and used for hanging zucchini P stems. Then, by repeating these operations, the fixing device 34 and the movable locking device 36 move above the stem of the zucchini P while the movable locking device 36 moves up in order. The above is equivalent to the latch part moving process in the cultivation method of zucchini according to the present invention. As the fixing tool 34 moves, the attracting string 32 remaining under the fixing tool 34 may be appropriately cut or bundled.

  Further, when the zucchini P grows and the stem length exceeds a predetermined length such as 180 cm, for example, as shown in FIG. Move horizontally along. Thereby, the attracting string 32 moves in the lateral direction along the attracting line 30, and the zucchini P supported by the attracting string 32 is also attracted in the lateral direction. Then, the harvest position T3 of the zucchini P is maintained in a range of approximately 100 cm to 150 cm that is easy for the operator to work. Then, the hooking portion moving step and the leaf notching step are performed while appropriately moving the attracting string 32 in the lateral direction. As a result, the zucchini P is attracted in the lateral direction while the harvesting position T3 of the zucchini P is always maintained at a substantially constant position. The above is equivalent to the horizontal attraction process in the cultivation method of zucchini according to the present invention.

  And, when comparing the cultivation method of zucchini according to the present invention with the conventional cultivation method by “crack making” and “standing creation”, the harvest period was about 2 to 3 months in the conventional cultivation method. On the other hand, the zucchini cultivation method according to the present invention enables cultivation and harvesting over a long period of about 9 months. Further, the yield was about 2.1 tons per 10a in the conventional cultivation method, while the zucchini cultivation method according to the present invention increased about 8 times at about 16.4 tons per 10a.

  As mentioned above, the cultivation method of the zucchini which concerns on this invention supports the zucchini P with the attracting string 32 suspended from the upper attracting line 30. FIG. And according to the growth of zucchini P, while moving a fixed position and a latching position to the upper part of a stem, a lower leaf is cut off suitably. And the range which the stem of Zucchini P grows thick is always supported by the attraction string 32. Thereby, an excessive load is not applied to the stem of the zucchini P, the stem is prevented from being broken, and the zucchini P can be cultivated for a long time.

  When the stem length of the zucchini P exceeds a predetermined length, the attracting string 32 is moved in the horizontal direction to attract the zucchini P in the horizontal direction along the attraction line 30. Then, the harvest position T3 of the zucchini P is maintained at a position where the operator can easily work. Thereby, the efficiency of harvesting work can be improved. In addition, since zucchini P is attracted along the attracting line 30, the passage is not blocked, and long-term cultivation in a space-saving manner is possible as compared with making ugly. Furthermore, since this lateral attraction is performed so that the stems of zucchini P do not touch the ground, no illness is transmitted from the ground.

  And according to the cultivation method of zucchini which concerns on this invention, long-term cultivation of zucchini conventionally difficult for long-term cultivation is enabled, and the harvest period and yield can be improved dramatically.

  In addition, the cultivation method of zucchini shown in this example is an example, and the method of each process, the numerical value in each stage, the member of the growing tool, the shape, the number, etc. are not limited to the above example. The invention can be modified and implemented without departing from the scope of the invention.

Thereby, the attracting string 32 moves in the lateral direction along the attracting line 30, and the zucchini P supported by the attracting string 32 is also attracted in the lateral direction. Then, the harvest position T3 of the zucchini P is maintained in a range of approximately 100 cm to 150 cm that is easy for the operator to work. Then, the hooking portion moving step and the leaf notching step are performed while appropriately moving the attracting string 32 in the lateral direction. As a result, the zucchini P is attracted in the lateral direction while the harvesting position T3 of the zucchini P is always maintained at a substantially constant position. The above corresponds to the lateral attraction step in the method of cultivating zucchini according to the present invention.

  And, when comparing the cultivation method of zucchini according to the present invention with the conventional cultivation method by “crack making” and “standing creation”, the harvest period was about 2 to 3 months in the conventional cultivation method. On the other hand, the zucchini cultivation method according to the present invention enables cultivation and harvesting over a long period of about 9 months. Further, the yield was about 2.1 tons per 10a in the conventional cultivation method, while the zucchini cultivation method according to the present invention increased about 8 times at about 16.4 tons per 10a.

  As mentioned above, the cultivation method of the zucchini which concerns on this invention supports the zucchini P with the attracting string 32 suspended from the upper attracting line 30. FIG. And according to the growth of zucchini P, while moving a fixed position and a latching position to the upper part of a stem, a lower leaf is cut off suitably. And the range which the stem of Zucchini P grows thick is always supported by the attraction string 32. Thereby, an excessive load is not applied to the stem of the zucchini P, the stem is prevented from being broken, and the zucchini P can be cultivated for a long time.

  When the stem length of the zucchini P exceeds a predetermined length, the attracting string 32 is moved in the horizontal direction to attract the zucchini P in the horizontal direction along the attraction line 30. Then, the harvest position T3 of the zucchini P is maintained at a position where the operator can easily work. Thereby, the efficiency of harvesting work can be improved. In addition, since zucchini P is attracted along the attracting line 30, the passage is not blocked, and long-term cultivation in a space-saving manner is possible as compared with making ugly. Furthermore, since this lateral attraction is performed so that the stems of zucchini P do not touch the ground, no illness is transmitted from the ground.

  And according to the cultivation method of zucchini which concerns on this invention, long-term cultivation of zucchini conventionally difficult for long-term cultivation is enabled, and the harvest period and yield can be improved dramatically.

  In addition, the cultivation method of zucchini shown in this example is an example, and the method of each process, the numerical value in each stage, the member of the growing tool, the shape, the number, etc. are not limited to the above example. The invention can be modified and implemented without departing from the scope of the invention.
