Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a medium for hydroponically cultivating radish radish.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, as a culture medium for hydroponically cultivating radish sprouts, as shown in FIG. 3, there are pits 12 partitioned in a grid shape, and the drainage as shown in FIG. Hole 1
A container 11 comprising 3,14 is commonly used as a base. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, a urethane foam 15 having a thickness of about 0.5 to 1 cm is stored in these depressions 12, and seeds are sown on the urethane foam 15 and water is appropriately added to hydroponic the radish. It is cultivated. The kaiware radish thus hydroponically cultivated is taken out as individual lumps together with the urethane foam 15 at the stage of growing to an appropriate size, and is put in the container as it is and shipped.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] By the way, when consumers eat radish radish, the root part is cut off together with urethane foam and discarded, but this resin is difficult to burn and is a toxic gas when burned. Therefore, there is a problem that when it is disposed as garbage, it causes pollution problems such as environmental pollution.

In addition, Kaiware radish is a product with a very short distribution period of 1 to 2 days, so it does not require much water at the time of shipment, but since urethane foam has too good water retention,
Even after shipping, it was still in a state of containing a large amount of water, and as a result, there was a problem that various bacteria easily proliferated, which was not preferable in terms of hygiene.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and its purpose is to eliminate the problem of pollution even if the root part is discarded, and to use a sanitary medium for radish radish. To provide.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the medium for kaiware radish of the present invention has a plurality of compartments partitioned in a grid shape and a container having a mesh screen at the bottom of each compartment. It is characterized in that it is formed by pouring a pulp solution into each of the compartments and drying the pulp solution.

[Operation] The fibers in the dried pulp solution remain on the mesh screen to form a paper layer. Then, when seeds are sown on this paper layer and water is given, the paper layer plays a role of retaining water, and the radish radish is hydroponically cultivated. The radish radish cultivated in this manner is taken out from the container together with the paper layer as individual lumps and shipped in a separate container, and when it is used for food, the root portion is cut off together with the paper layer and discarded.

[Embodiment] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below.

FIG. 1 (a) is a partial plan view of a container which is the base of a medium for radish radish, and FIG. 1 (b) is B- in FIG. 1 (a).
The B sectional view is shown. This container 1 has the same overall shape as the conventional container 11 shown in FIG. 3 and has a plurality of compartments 2 which are partitioned in a grid shape. In addition, the mesh screen 3 is provided at the bottom. The mesh screen 3 is integrally attached to the container 1 in the form of being stretched on the bottom surface of the container 1. Here, as the mesh screen 3, an 80 mesh screen is used in this embodiment. In addition, each compartment 2 is sized so that the radish radish is taken out as a single mass, like the depression 12 in the conventional container 11.

Then, for each section 2 of the container 1 above, a second
As shown in the figure, the pulp solution of crepe paper is poured into the pulp solution and dried to form the paper layer 4, whereby the medium for radish radish of the present invention is formed. In this case, in order to pour the pulp solution into each section 2, the pulp solution may be poured from the nozzle. Further, the amount of pulp solution may be appropriately determined depending on its properties and the usage of the medium.

Further, the present invention can be implemented using the conventional container 11. That is, a separate mesh screen may be applied to the entire lower surface of the container 11 so as to cover the drainage holes 13 and 14, and the pulp solution may be poured into each depression 12 and dried.

In order to hydroponically culture the radish radish using the medium for the radish radish described above, the paper layer 4
Sow the seeds on the top and water them appropriately. In this case, excess water is discharged from the gaps of the mesh screen 3, but the amount of water necessary for growth is retained in the paper layer 4, so that the radish radish grows sufficiently. The kaiware radish thus hydroponically cultivated is taken out of the container 1 together with the paper layer 4 when it grows to an appropriate size, and shipped individually packaged. Here, the water content of the paper layer 4 is more likely to evaporate than in the case of urethane foam, but since the distribution period of kaiware radish is as short as 1 to 2 days, its freshness is hardly affected. When the consumer uses it for food, the root portion is cut off together with the paper layer 4 and discarded.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, since the medium for kaiware radish of the present invention uses a paper layer formed by drying a pulp solution, this paper layer is cut off together with the root part and discarded as garbage. However, since it can be easily incinerated, it does not cause pollution problems such as environmental pollution unlike conventional urethane foam.

In addition, it is sanitary because bacteria etc. are killed by the heat when drying the pulp solution, and since the paper layer has lower water retention than urethane foam, it suppresses the propagation of bacteria etc. during the distribution period. You can
