  However, in conventional hydroponics, in order to cultivate seeds by immersing them in running water, there is a problem that a large amount of water is required and the cost required for cultivation increases.

  In addition, in conventional hydroponics, the roots grown from the seeds are not stretched straight and become shrunk, resulting in variations in the growth period and variations in appearance.

Therefore, in the present invention according to claim 1, in the cultivation method for growing buds and roots from seeds such as vegetables and fruits , garlic scales are used as seeds , and the seeds with thin skin attached are immersed in water for a predetermined period of time. Peel off the thin skin attached to the seeds, and then support the seeds in a state where the roots that extend downward from the seeds do not come into contact with the seeds and form a mist in the space below the seeds. We decided to grow shoots and roots from seeds by supplying water.

  And in this invention, there exists an effect described below.

  That is, in the present invention, in a cultivation method for growing shoots and roots from seeds such as vegetables and fruits, the seeds are formed in a state where a space that does not contact the roots extending downward from the seeds is formed below the seeds. Support, and by supplying mist-like water to the space below the seeds to grow buds and roots from the seeds, the amount of water required for cultivation can be reduced and required for cultivation Costs can be reduced. Further, the roots can be grown straight from the seeds downward, the growth period and appearance can be made constant, and cultivation management can be facilitated.

  In particular, when water supply is started after refrigeration of seeds at a predetermined temperature for a predetermined period, shoots and roots can be grown for a certain period after the start of supply of water, making it easier to manage cultivation It can be.

  In addition, when the supply of moisture is started after immersing the seeds in water for a predetermined period, the taste when the seeds are eaten can be made consistently good, which also facilitates cultivation management It can be.

Explanatory drawing which shows the cultivation method which concerns on this invention.

  Below, the specific structure of the cultivation method which concerns on this invention is demonstrated, referring drawings. The seeds such as vegetables and fruits in the present invention are not limited to plant seeds, but also include seeds such as seed potatoes and garlic scales that grow buds and roots from the seeds. A cultivation method for growing shoots and roots using garlic scale as seeds of vegetables and fruits will be described.

  In general, garlic circulates as a bulb in which a plurality of scales are bundled in a bulb shape, and the scale is used as a food material. In the present invention, buds and roots are grown from garlic scale pieces to obtain a new food. General garlic is cultivated in open-air areas, so the harvest time (distribution time) is limited and the yield is not stable due to the influence of the weather, but new buds and roots are grown from garlic scales. By using a simple food, it is possible to cultivate under a certain indoor environment, and it is possible to obtain a crop with a stable yield without limiting the harvest time.

  First, circulate garlic (bulb) in general to each scale piece. At that time, the thin skin adhering to the scale is not peeled off, and the core at the tip is removed.

  Next, the scales to which the thin skin is attached are immersed in water for a predetermined period (for example, 1 to 2 days). Thereby, a scale absorbs a water | moisture content and the water content of each scale becomes fixed. The period during which the scale is immersed in water is appropriately adjusted according to the state of the scale and the climate. The water in which the scales are immersed may be tap water, but the taste can be improved by using natural water or mineral water.

  Next, the thin skin adhering to the scale is peeled off. At that time, since the scale with the thin skin adhered thereto was immersed in water, the thin skin could be easily and quickly removed from the scale, and the labor and time required for the work could be reduced.

  Next, the scale is refrigerated in a refrigerator at a predetermined temperature (for example, 4 ° C. to 15 ° C.) for a predetermined period (for example, 1 day to 2 days). Thereby, the temperature of each scale becomes constant. The temperature and period for refrigeration of the scales are appropriately adjusted according to the state of the scales and the climate.

  Next, the scales are cultivated for a predetermined period (for example, 7 to 14 days) using a cultivator, buds and roots are grown from the scales, and then the scales with the buds and roots are harvested and shipped. .

  In that case, supporting the scale in a state where the root that extends downward from the scale does not come into contact with the scale below the scale, supplying mist-like moisture to the space below the scale, Grow shoots and roots from scales.

  For example, the scale 1 is cultivated using the cultivator 2 shown in FIG. The cultivator 2 includes a tray 3 that accommodates the scales 1, a container 4 that supports the tray 3, and a mist water supply machine 5 that supplies mist water to the container 4.

  In the tray 3, recesses 6 that accommodate the scales 1 are formed at predetermined intervals in the front, rear, left, and right, and through holes 7 are formed at the bottoms of the recesses 6. The lower part of the scale 1 (the part where the root of the scale 1 grows) is accommodated in the recess 6 with the through hole 7 being exposed, and the scale 1 is supported by the recess 6.

  The container 4 forms a space 8 below the tray 3 by supporting the tray 3 at the opened upper portion. The height of the space 8 is high enough that the lower end of the root does not contact the bottom of the container 4 when the root grows from the scale 1.

  The fog water supply machine 5 connects the base end of the supply pipe 10 to a generator 9 that generates mist-like water, and connects the tip end of the supply pipe 10 to the bottom of the container 4. The mist water supply machine 5 supplies the mist-like water generated by the generator 9 from the bottom of the container 4 to the internal space 8 via the supply pipe 10. In addition, the misty water supply machine 5 may contain a nutrient etc. in misty water. Further, the mist water supply device 5 may have any configuration as long as it can supply mist-like moisture to the inside of the space 8, and may have a configuration in which water collides with the inner wall of the container 4 and is scattered in a mist shape. .

  And in this invention, the scale 1 is mounted in the recessed part 6 in the state which exposed the lower part of the scale 1 to the through-hole 7, and the mist-like water is supplied to the space 8 under the scale 1 from the fog water supply machine 5 To do. Then, the scale 1 has roots that grow straight from the bottom to the bottom and shoots that grow straight from the top to the top.

  As described above, in the present invention, in the cultivation method for growing shoots and roots from seeds (scale pieces 1) such as vegetables and fruits, the wide roots that extend downward from the seeds (scale pieces 1) do not come into contact. In the state where the space 8 is formed below the seed (scale piece 1), the seed (scale piece 1) is supported, and mist-like water is supplied to the space 8 below the seed (scale piece 1). ) Grow buds and roots.

  Therefore, in this invention, the usage-amount of the water required for cultivation can be reduced, and the expense required for cultivation can be reduced. Moreover, the root can be grown straight from the seed (scale piece 1) downward, the growth period and appearance can be made constant, and cultivation management can be facilitated. .

  In the present invention, the moisture supply is started after the seed (scale piece 1) is refrigerated at a predetermined temperature for a predetermined period.

  Therefore, in this invention, a shoot and a root can be grown in the fixed period after the supply start of a water | moisture content, and management of cultivation can be made still easier.

  Further, in the present invention, the supply of moisture is started after the seed (scale piece 1) is immersed in water for a predetermined period.

  Therefore, in this invention, the taste at the time of eating seed | species (scale piece 1) can be made into a favorable thing, and management of cultivation can also be made easy by this.
