Abstract

To provide a method for allowing a user to easily culture garlic while shading, even in household.SOLUTION: The invention is configured so that, for vertically aligning directions of seeds of garlic, into a perforated tray 1 formed of plastic or styrene foam, one seed is put so that a rooting part is directed downward, then the tray is installed so as to float on a water surface in a culture vessel including water, and a water level is maintained by water supply so that a bottom face of the perforated tray does not contact a bottom face in the culture vessel, for germinating the seed of the garlic on the perforated tray and growing the seed. In a culture period, the whole culture vessel is shaded so that no light enters, during culture of the garlic.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5

Description

The present invention relates to a hydroponic cultivation method that can be easily cultivated by anyone and anywhere in a general household.

Garlic has been commonly eaten on bulbs for a long time. However, during the shoot season, the shoots, seeds and roots can be eaten, and although it has become generally known in recent years that it is nutritious, it is rarely on the market.

Garlic seeds are oval and the positions where buds and roots come out are fixed. In hydroponics, the orientation of the seeds is fixed so that they do not sink into the water and hinder their growth, and the orientation of the growing seeds is aligned in a certain direction. Therefore, it is cultivated in a perforated tray.

It is characterized by cultivating garlic while blocking the temperature in order to suppress the temperature rise in order to keep the growing environment constant, so it is necessary to block the light with a cloth, cardboard or board so that it will not be sealed while maintaining breathability. To. In addition, during cultivation, water is replenished because it is cultivated only with water without using organic fertilizers, chemical fertilizers or liquid fertilizers.

Patent Document 2 proposes a method for cultivating garlic foliage vegetables. This cultivation method is a method of cultivating garlic bulbs under dark conditions under a specific temperature / humidity control, and the means thereof is soil cultivation or hydroponics, but in actual examples. Discloses only a soil cultivation method in which garlic bulbs are covered with soil and then cultivated in a dark room.

The cultivation method provided in Patent Document 2 described above is soil cultivation, and there are problems that the cultivation requires manpower and that the obtained sprout itself is still hard. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a method for cultivating at home because the cultivation method is simple.

By putting the seeds in the perforated tray, the vertical orientation of the seeds can be fixed and fixed, and the roots will be rooted in the water and the buds will grow vertically. During cultivation, replenish water so that the tray does not drop to the bottom of the cultivation container.

During cultivation, the water temperature can be prevented from rising and the growing environment can be maintained by blocking the light with a cloth, cardboard or board. However, although it blocks light, it maintains breathability so that it does not become hermetically sealed. It is also a safe cultivation method because the shading effect also has pest prevention and splash prevention effects.

The present invention is a method that can be easily cultivated at home, and it is safe, secure, and easy to nourish because it does not use chemical fertilizers or nutrient solution water, but only replenishes the water that is normally used as drinking water. It is a method that can grow abundant germinated garlic.

According to the present invention, the cultivation technique is simple and easy to cultivate at home, and the required amount can be cultivated when necessary. In addition, perforated trays and containers can be washed and used many times, and since fertilizer and nutrient solution water are not used, they are safe, secure, easy, and low in cultivation costs.

Furthermore, it is not damaged by pests due to its light-shielding effect, and it can be expected to have a preventive effect from pathogens.

It is a figure of the perforated tray used in the cultivation method which concerns on this invention. It is a figure of the cultivation case used in the cultivation method which concerns on this invention. It is a figure which installed the perforated tray in the cultivation case used in the cultivation method which concerns on this invention. It is a figure of one example which cut off the cultivation case used in the cultivation method which concerns on this invention. It is a figure of the garlic grown by the cultivation method which concerns on this invention.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
As shown in FIG. 1, the perforated tray 1 is made of plastic, expanded polystyrene, or the like, and has a plurality of holes for garlic seeds. The bottom of the hole is open so that the roots can root in the water.
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the structure of the cultivation case 3. As shown in the figure, the cultivation case 3 is a place where water collects. Where to install the tray. A light-shielding auxiliary plate 5 is connected to the upper part of the cultivation case 3 including the installation table 4 on which the tray is placed in order to prevent the tray 1 from sinking.
As shown in FIG. 3, the perforated tray 1 is placed on the installation table 4 for use.
As shown in FIG. 4, the light-shielding material 6 is applied from above the light-shielding auxiliary plate 5. Here, a black cloth is used as an example of the light-shielding material 6. The light-shielding material 6 is not limited to a black cloth, and a material having a performance such as corrugated cardboard or a board that does not allow light to pass through is used.
If the water temperature rises during the growth of garlic, the growth will be delayed or stopped. It withers at worst. Around 30 degrees is the best.
FIG. 5 shows a state in which garlic has germinated. From the garlic seed 8, the garlic sprout 7 and the garlic root 9 grow. In this embodiment, the buds 7 are harvested in a state of growing to about 5 to 14 cm. It's soft and delicious. The root 9 can also be eaten softly.

The present invention can be cultivated by placing it on a kitchen shelf or a dining table in a home as an example. It can also be cultivated on the balcony. For children, being able to observe the process of plant growth on a daily basis may have a dietary effect.

The present invention is not limited to the examples, and can be cultivated indoors or on the premises of any building such as a school or a company.

The present invention can also be produced by farmers. Mass production is possible by enlarging the trays and arranging them side by side. When shading in cultivation by farmers, as an example, install the entire cultivation case with a perforated tray in a dome shape with a tunnel support material, and put 80 to 100% shading mulch, shading net, etc. from above. By using it, garlic can be cultivated in a light-shielded manner. The cultivation place can be in an agricultural house, in a warehouse, or in an alley.

The present invention can be used as a home-use hydroponic cultivation kit.
