DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cultivation aid used for cultivating seedlings such as vegetables and fruits at a position higher than the ground surface.

[0002]

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, crops such as strawberries are cultivated by planting seedlings along ridges formed on the ground of the cultivation area.
Although so-called soil cultivation is adopted, various operations from raising seedlings to harvesting are often performed in a squatting or crouching position, which imposes a heavy physical burden on the workers.

In order to improve such working conditions, recently, a so-called elevated cultivation method has been adopted in which seedlings such as vegetables and fruits are cultivated while being held at a position higher than the ground. Development and improvement of cultivation containers and cultivation equipment have been carried out.

[0004] The present applicant has developed a container for raising seedlings which uses a small amount of soil and has good root growth.
No., etc. In addition, a holding device for the container for raising seedlings has been developed and disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 6-16495. By combining these seedling raising containers and holding devices, an elevated cultivation device as shown in FIG. 7 can be formed.

In FIG. 7, reference numeral 80 denotes a holding device; 81, a frame of the holding device;
Numeral is a tapered cylindrical container for raising seedlings, and 92 is an auxiliary tool for watering and fertilizing. By raising seedlings in the plurality of seedling raising containers 91 held by the holding device 80, efficiency of seedling raising work and improvement of working conditions can be achieved.

[0006]

When the elevated cultivation apparatus shown in FIG. 7 is installed in a cultivation area, a holding device 80 composed of a dedicated support column 82 and a frame 81 is installed on the ground, and the space between the frame 81 is set. After arranging the auxiliary tools 92, a plurality of seedling raising containers 91 must be set, so that a great deal of labor and time is spent on the installation work.

[0007] Also, when the cultivation period is over, and when the elevated cultivation equipment is dismantled and withdrawn from the cultivation site, it is necessary to take the reverse procedure to that described above, so that much labor and time are spent. It is a fact.

Further, the elevated cultivation apparatus shown in FIG. 7 cannot be formed unless a specially designed support column 82, frame 81 and an auxiliary tool 92 of a certain size that can be combined with these are used. Poor quality, poor adaptability to the size of cultivation, and high production cost.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an auxiliary cultivation apparatus capable of forming an elevated cultivation apparatus which is easy to install, dismantle and withdraw, has high versatility, and has excellent adaptability to the cultivation scale. To provide tools.

[0010]

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, a cultivation auxiliary tool of the present invention is a cultivation auxiliary tool for holding a cultivation container at a position higher than the ground surface, comprising a film material or Forming a plurality of openings or slits for fitting and holding the cultivation container in the sheet material, separating from the opening or slit on one side of the film material or the sheet material
Opposite each other across the opening or slit
Along the length of the film or sheet material
And a plurality of rows of linear adhesive surfaces are provided.

[0011] With this configuration, after the cultivation auxiliary tool is stretched through a sticky surface to a holding member such as a frame installed in the cultivation area, the cultivation container is simply fitted into the opening or slit. Thus, it is possible to form an elevated cultivation apparatus that holds the cultivation container at a position higher than the ground surface, so that installation work and dismantling / removal work are easy. The holding member to be installed in the cultivation area does not need to be a dedicated one, and the adhesive surface can be adhered to a frame material, a tubular material, or the like, so that the versatility is high, and the adaptability to the cultivation scale is excellent, Manufacturing costs can also be reduced.

As a material constituting the film material or the sheet material, synthetic resin, paper, or a combination of synthetic resin and paper can be used. The film material or sheet material may have a single-layer structure or a laminated structure, for example, a laminate of a polyethylene terephthalate film and a polyethylene film, a laminate of a polyethylene terephthalate film and a polypropylene film, and a synthetic resin on a paper sheet. What laminated | stacked the film made can be used.

Regarding the thickness of the film material or sheet material,
10 μm to 300 in either case of single layer structure or laminated structure
About μm is appropriate.

By providing the adhesive surface at a plurality of places of the film material or the sheet material, it is possible to stretch and fix the film material or the sheet material by using a plurality of holding members installed in the cultivation area. A cultivation device can be formed.

Here, by providing the adhesive surface in a straight line along the longitudinal direction of the film material or sheet material, it is possible to stretch along the longitudinal direction of the long holding member installed in the cultivation area. As a result, the installation work can be made more efficient.

Further, by providing the adhesive surface on only one side of the film material or the sheet material, it becomes possible to commercialize the product in a state of being wound on a roll in the manufacturing process, so that the packing and transportation are facilitated. In addition, in the installation work in the cultivation area, the workability is good because the roll body can be stretched while rotating, and the work can be cut to an appropriate length for use, so that the adaptability to the cultivation scale is excellent.

By forming this adhesive surface by applying an adhesive or attaching a double-sided adhesive tape, it becomes possible to form an adhesive surface on a required portion by a relatively simple process, so that an elevated cultivation apparatus is constructed. To form a high-strength and durable high-growth cultivation device that has excellent adhesion and workability to synthetic resin or metal frame materials, tubular materials, etc., does not deform or collapse during the cultivation period. Can be.
In addition, the film material or the sheet material itself does not have an adhesive force, and may be bonded by a double-sided adhesive tape attached to a synthetic resin or metal frame material or a tubular material constituting the elevated cultivation apparatus. .

Here, by imparting water repellency to the film material or sheet material, it is possible to improve the flow of water or liquid fertilizer in the case of watering, watering or fertilizing. It is possible to efficiently introduce the waste into the cultivation container without waste. Water repellency can be obtained by forming a film material or a sheet material with a synthetic resin.
Applying anti-fogging processing to P (polypropylene) and LL (linear electric leakage film) or the like can impart stronger water repellency. In the case of paper, it is possible to impart water repellency by waxing. Such a water-repellent film material or sheet material can exert its water-repellent effect by being used, for example, when cultivating plants such as starches whose leaves are concentrated in the lower part of the stem.

On the other hand, water remaining on the film material or the like after watering or watering may cause disease or discoloration by touching leaves depending on the type of plant being cultivated, and adversely affect its growth. . In winter, such residual water freezes and causes low-temperature damage to the leaves of plants. Therefore, if the film material or the sheet material is made hydrophilic, the evaporation of water is promoted by increasing the surface area of the water remaining on the film material or the sheet material, so that the residual water causing the above-described adverse effects is quickly eliminated. Can be. Note that hydrophilicity can be imparted by applying MSP (cellophane) or titanium oxide to the surface of a film material or the like. In addition, a function similar to hydrophilicity can be obtained by using a perforated film in which water is not passed and a large number of holes for passing air are formed. Such a hydrophilic film material or sheet material can exert its hydrophilic effect by being used, for example, when cultivating a plant such as a sunflower in which the leaves are spread over the entire stem and spread.

By imparting light reflectivity to the film material or sheet material, reflected light, such as sunlight, is radiated to the growing plant, so that the growing condition is improved and the fruits are aged evenly. And the effect of repelling pests can be obtained. The film or sheet material can be made to have light reflectivity by performing aluminum evaporation.
