DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a grafted seedling container for raising grafted seedlings produced by manual or mechanical work.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Grafted seedlings after grafting are transplanted into containers.

[0003]

However, if the grafted seedlings are not immediately moved to the acclimatization room after being transplanted into the container, the grafted seedlings may die.

[0004]

According to the present invention, a grafted seedling 1 is provided.
A container 2 for raising seedlings, and a lid 3 which can cover the side of the grafted seedling of the container 2 substantially tightly and can be seen through ,
A plurality of concave grooves 9 extending from the upper surface to the side surfaces in the lid 3.
Is provided in the groove 9 from the center of the upper surface of the lid 3 toward the side end.
A grafted seedling container having a gradient K is configured.

[0005]

[Function] Grafted seedling 1 manufactured by manual or mechanical work
Is transplanted to a grafted seedling container provided with soil. Next, cover 3 is placed on container 2 so as to cover graft 1. On lid 3
A plurality of concave grooves 9 extending from the upper surface to the side surfaces are provided.
And increase the strength of the lid 3
In addition, water on the upper surface of the lid 3 can be drained and guided along the groove 9. So
The groove 9 has a gradient from the center of the upper surface of the lid 3 to the side edge.
Since K is provided, containers are stacked vertically and
Even if dents occur in the lid 3 of the grafted seedling container 4,
It can smooth out and prevent water from staying.

[0006]

[Effect] Since the humidity in the grafted seedling container for storing the transplanted grafted seedlings can be maintained, the time from transplantation to accommodation in the acclimatization room can be increased, and the transplanting work efficiency can be improved. Since the lid 3 can be seen through, it is possible to shine light on the seedlings, and it is possible to promote rooting during acclimation, prevent stunting, and the like. Also the lid
3 has a plurality of concave grooves 9 extending from the upper surface to the side surfaces.
The groove 9 is provided from the center of the upper surface of the lid 3 to the side end.
The gradient K is provided to increase the strength of the lid 3.
And water on the upper surface of the lid 3 is good along the groove 9.
Can be drained to the bottom, and when the containers are stacked vertically,
Even if dents occur in the lid 3 of the grafted seedling container 4,
Smooth and hardly water stay on top of container.

[0007]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. First, the structure will be described. In the grafted seedling 1, the scion and the stock are cut at a predetermined position.
The grafted seedling container 4 is provided with a container 2 having a white outer surface and a lid 3 which can cover the container 2 almost tightly.
The container 2 is provided with a pot 5 having a rectangular shape in plan view, aligned at predetermined intervals in the front-rear and left-right directions, and having a drain hole 6 on the bottom surface. Each pot 5 is supplied with soil or artificial soil 7 containing moisture.

The lid 3 can be placed almost tightly over the container 2 and has a chamber 8 for projecting to the opposite side of the pot 5 and for accommodating the grafted seedling 1 transplanted to the cultivation soil 7. The lid 3 is made of a transparent material, and is provided with concave grooves 9 in a lattice shape in plan view on the upper surface, front and rear surfaces, and left and right surfaces. An uneven portion 10 is provided on the surface of the lid 3 which is entirely or partially surrounded by the groove 9. The groove 9 is provided with a gradient K from the front, rear, left and right center portions of the lid 3 toward the side edges, and the front end of the groove 9 provided on the front and rear surfaces and the left and right surfaces of the lid 3. Is provided at a position in contact with or near the upper surface of the container 2 when the lid 3 is placed on the container 2. The groove 9 has a small depth at the tip.

In FIG. 4, reference numeral 11 denotes a lighting device (a fluorescent lamp is used in the embodiment) provided in the acclimatization chamber 12, and the grafted seedling containers 4 are stacked in the acclimation chamber 12. . Then, when the illuminance was measured when the container 2 was made white and black, the black color was approximately 4.30 as shown in Table 1.
It was one fifth.

[0010]

[Table 1]

Next, the operation will be described. First, a predetermined amount of soil 7 containing water is supplied to the pot 5 of the container 2 and the surface is flattened with a flat plate. Then, the base of the grafted seedling 1 composed of the scion and the stock prepared by manual or mechanical work is transplanted to the soil of each pot 5 (either manual work or mechanical work may be performed).

When the operation of transplanting the grafted seedlings 1 to the pots 5 is completed, the lid 3 is put on the container 2 at a predetermined position. Less than,
Subsequently, the same operation is performed. Thus, grafted seedling 1
Since the container 2 is covered with the lid 3 after the transplantation, the humidity inside the grafted seedling container 4 can be maintained, and the container 2 can be left for a longer time than when the lid 3 is not covered. Therefore, grafted seedling 1 to container 2
Can improve the efficiency of transplantation. Further, the humidification in the acclimatization chamber 12 for acclimating the grafted seedlings 1 becomes unnecessary, so that the cost of the acclimation chamber 12 can be reduced.

Next, the grafted seedling containers 4 are stacked in the acclimatization room 12 and the lighting device 11 is turned on to perform the acclimatization work. Even in the case of this stacking, since the uneven portion 10 is provided on the upper surface of the lid 3, light is diffusely reflected, so that much light is applied to the grafted seedling 1 in the container, and acclimation is promoted. In addition, lid 3
And the upper container 2
The water that has flowed out of the drain hole 6 can be separated and can be prevented from dropping into one place. In addition, since the bottom surface of the pot 5 is not closed, the drainage of the water from the drain hole 6 is facilitated. Since the lid 3 is made of a transparent material, the grafted seedling 1 is being acclimated.
Promote rooting and prevent stalks.

Further, since the lid 3 is provided with the grooves 9 in a lattice shape, the strength of the lid 3 can be increased, and the water discharged from the drain holes 6 can be drained and guided along the grooves 9. Since the groove 9 is provided with the gradient K, even if the graft 3 is stacked and the cover 3 of the lower graft 4 is dented, the discharge of water is smooth and the retention of water is prevented. I can do it. Since the projecting side of the groove 9 is received by the upper surface of the container 2 and has a function as a stopper, the heavy grafted seedling container 4 on the upper side can be supported. By making the container 2 white, it is possible to prevent a significant decrease in the illuminance of the inner space of the lid 3 of the lower grafted seedling container 4 and effectively use light. In addition, during curing of the grafted seedling 1, the stature can be prevented without increasing the ground temperature due to sunlight.

[0015] When ventilating the inside of the container after the acclimatization work, it takes time and effort to form a hole in the lid 3, and the grafted seedling 1 dies with means for opening the lid 3 entirely. In the present invention, the lid 3 is pushed toward the container 2 so that the upper surface of the container 2 comes into contact with the groove 9 having a large depth. Then, a small gap can be formed between the container 2 and the lid 3 and the grafting seedling 1 can be prevented from withering while increasing the ventilation efficiency.
