[Technical field to which the device belongs]

 The present invention relates to a light ray reflector that reflects sunlight to illuminate the lower surface of a fruit so that the lower surface of the fruit is colored.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In general, the lower part of the fruit is hard to be exposed to the sun's rays, so the coloration is delayed and the sugar content is lower than the upper part. Therefore, in order to accelerate the coloring of the lower part of this fruit, aluminum foil was pasted on the surface, or a polyethylene film colored silver by suitable means was laid widely on the surface of the orchard, The sunlight is reflected and the reflected light is applied to the lower part of the fruit.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, since the reflection method using the above mulching material spreads over a wide range of the orchard, it not only causes the inconvenience of lowering the ground temperature, but also has the distance from the ground surface to the fruit, so there is a sufficient reflected light irradiation effect on the fruit. I can't get it. In addition, laying and disposal are expensive and time consuming, and disposal after use is a big environmental protection problem. The present invention has been made in view of the above problems of the prior art. The purpose of the present invention is to be able to effectively irradiate the fruit with reflected light and to easily attach and discard the fruit. , Providing an environment-friendly light reflector for promoting coloring of fruits. Another object of the present invention is to enable a multipurpose effect such as bird-prevention and insect-proof in addition to irradiation of reflected light on fruits by using a light reflector for promoting fruit coloring.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, in the light reflector for promoting coloring of fruits of the present invention, the body of the reflector is formed into a conical shape, a light reflecting surface is formed on the surface thereof, and a hanging string is attached to the top of the body. It is provided, and by appropriately suspending this in the crown of the tree, reflected light is radiated from below to below the fruit at a position close to the fruit. While shaking by the wind, this light reflector repeats diffuse reflection and irradiates reflected light evenly over a wide area. In addition, irregular reflection of the light reflector due to this wind and irregular shaking causes the bird to be alert. The main body is made of a paper material having a light-reflecting layer on its surface to facilitate disposal. In addition, by making the inside of the body hollow and opening the bottom surface and applying an attracting insecticide to the inner surface, it is possible to attract and kill pests, and at the same time protect the fruit from pests. .

[0005]

[Embodiment]

 Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the figure, A is a main body formed into a quadrangular pyramid shape by a water-resistant paperboard 1, and a polyester film 2 on which aluminum is vapor-deposited is attached to the surface with an adhesive. The shape of the main body A can be various conical shapes such as a conical shape, a triangular pyramid shape, and a hexagonal pyramid shape other than the quadrangular pyramid shape shown in the drawing. However, the inside is made hollow and the bottom surface is opened. The above-mentioned aluminum-deposited polyester film 2 is a light-reflecting layer for imparting a strong light-reflecting property to the surface of the main body A, and can be replaced with a metal foil such as an aluminum foil. It can also be formed by printing. Due to the presence of this light reflecting layer, the surface of the main body A constitutes a light reflecting surface. A suspension string 3 is attached to the top of the main body A. The attracting insecticide 4 is applied to the inner surface of the main body A. The above-mentioned attractant pesticide 4 is mainly composed of chemical substances having odors involved in insect mating behavior, feeding behavior, spawning behavior and the like, and is an attractant prepared by formulating a substance having an attracting action against insects, and a persistent adhesive. And the mixture of both such as mixing an attractant with the attractant is applied by the printing method on the whole or part of the inner surface of the main body A. As the attractant, for example, a peach fluure agent effective against male mosquito mosquito males of apple, peach and pear, orientirua agent effective against male adult chachamaki of tea, citrus, pear, persimmon, tea, peach, plum There are cheritolua agents that are effective against yellow peach, cherry moss grass and persimmon mosquito grass, and these known attractants may be appropriately selected and used according to the target fruit. Although not shown, a release sheet is attached to the coated surface of the attracting insecticide 4. Thus, the coloring promoting light reflector having such a structure is used by suspending it from the branches of fruit trees using the suspending string 3. At this time, the above-mentioned light-reflecting tool is arranged so that three to several pieces are randomly suspended in the tree crown. As a result, in the above-mentioned light reflector, the main body A sways in the wind and repeats diffuse reflection, irradiates the reflected light from the bottom to the lower part of the fruit at a position close to the fruit, and moreover, the diffuse reflection caused by the shake repeats to a wide range of fruits. The reflected light will be emitted evenly. Therefore, the light reflected by the above-mentioned light reflector and irradiated to the lower part of the fruit promotes the coloring of the lower surface of the fruit, improves the appearance of the fruit, increases the sugar content, and enables early harvesting, thereby enhancing the commercial value of the fruit. Improve. It goes without saying that the reflected light hits the back surface of the leaf and promotes carbon assimilation. At this time, since it is not necessary to reflect light downward, there is no possibility that the efficiency will deteriorate even if the lower surface of the main body A is opened. As mentioned above, since the light reflector sways in the wind and repeats irregular reflections, it is possible to cause the bird to be wary, and the irregular and irregular irregular reflections caused by the shaking amplify the bird's vigilance. Therefore, the bird cannot get close to the fruit, and it becomes possible to prevent the bird from eating the fruit. In addition, the coating surface of the attracting insecticide 4 is made to expose the coating surface by removing the release sheet, depending on the timing of the occurrence of harmful insects. As a result, the odor of the attractant exerts the effect of attracting harmful insects in the vicinity of the light reflector, and attracts harmful insects around the orchard. Then, if the insect attracted by the attractant comes in contact with even the part of the body such as legs, wings, or body, it will not be able to escape due to the adhesive force of the adhesive and will be killed. That is, this color promoting light reflector also serves to control harmful insects.

[Effect of device]

 Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects. (1). The main body of the reflector was formed into a pyramidal shape, a light-reflecting surface was formed on the surface, and a hanging string was provided on the top of the main body so that it could be hung inside the tree crown. It is possible to irradiate the reflected light from the bottom to the lower part of the fruit at a close position, and the efficiency of reflected light irradiation to the lower part of the fruit is significantly improved compared to the conventional reflection method using a mulching material laid on the ground surface. (2). Only a few pieces need to be hung in the tree crown, and hanging can be done easily with a hanging string, and unlike the conventional reflection method using mulching material, it is not necessary to lay it over a wide area in the orchard, so cost reduction is aimed at. Of course, it is easy to install and remove. (3). Since the materials used are mainly paper, that is, pulp, it is easy to incinerate and there is little risk of environmental pollution due to waste. (4). Since it is swayed by the wind and irregularly and irregularly repeats irregularly by hanging it in the tree crown, it can alert the bird and prevent the bird from feeding damage to the fruit. (5). Since the inside is made hollow and the lower surface is opened, and the attractant adhesive is applied to the inner surface, insect pests can be attracted and killed for control, and insect damage can also be prevented.
