Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a vine tip guide material for cultivated crops such as watermelons, melons, and pumpkins, which grow vines and produce fruits that bear fruit.

First, to explain the technical issues of the present invention using watermelons as an example, watermelons have recently been grown using tunnel cultivation; If the position of the watermelon is aligned with the main branch of each plant, you will not be able to make the wrong harvest time. B. If the vine leaves do not overlap and can receive light evenly, growth will be uniform and the harvest period will be as calculated. C. If the leaves are evenly distributed, there will be no waste in the amount and time of spraying chemicals for disease control. D. If the directions of the vines are all the same, the path will be clear and it will be easier to walk when doing work such as artificial hybridization, so each vine should be placed perpendicularly and parallel to the tunnel. There is a desire to grow.

In the past, when the vines tried to grow in their own direction, this was called vine repair work, and each vine was manually repaired one by one so that they were perpendicular to the tunnel and parallel to each other. It is said that if you lose the time to fix the vines, it will take the labor of 3 people per 10 acres to fix the vines, and if you are not careful, you can damage the growing points and cause growth problems, so it is very worrying. The work involved using .

An object of the present invention is to provide a novel tip guide material that can easily and extremely effectively overcome the above-mentioned drawbacks.

As shown in FIG. 1, the configuration adopted by the present invention in order to achieve this objective is that the sheet-like member 1 is formed into a rectangular shape so that it can be folded. . . . are continuous and self-supporting, and the valleys 4, 4, . 1st
In the figure, 2 indicates a fold.

When the sheet-like member 1 is made of a transparent synthetic resin such as vinyl chloride with a thickness of about 0.15 mm or polyester that is stronger than this, it will of course function as a poly mulch, but it can also be made of other materials. It can be used even if there is.

If necessary, drain holes 5, 5, . . . are bored at appropriate intervals at the bottoms of the valleys 4, 4, . Of course, if the length of the sheet-like member 1 is not very long, it may be possible to avoid providing the through-holes 5, 5, . . . by laying it at an appropriate slope.

In Figures 2 and 3, 6 is a tunnel for tunnel cultivation, and the tunnel width is approximately 1.5 m.
Also, if 7 is a watermelon plant, the plants 7 are usually planted at 90 cm intervals to one side of the tunnel 6. When four vines 8 are grown from one plant 7, the distance between the vines in this case is calculated to be 22.5 cm. Therefore, in the vine tip guiding material 9 of the present invention described in FIG. 1, vine guide sections made of valleys 4, 4, . If it is spread out and laid on the ground, the tips of the vines will grow straight along the straight guide portions at desired intervals. If it is better to have a string around which the vines can become entangled, the string can be stretched in parallel to the valleys 4, 4, . . . .

As is clear from the above explanation, the vine tip guide material of the present invention is elastic like a bellows, so it can be transported in a thin state that does not take up much space, and it can be expanded at the site without any difficulty. It is extremely convenient in that it can be expanded. Moreover, by adjusting the degree of expansion, the interval between the vine guide parts made by the troughs 4, 4, ... can be set arbitrarily, and when the vine tips try to grow in an arbitrary direction, each triangular crest 3 ,3,...
Since this is prevented by the sloping surface, the previous re-straightening work can be completely omitted, which is extremely advantageous in terms of labor saving.
