Abstract

PURPOSE:To preserve subterranean stem of bamboo grass and bamboos for planting useful for ground-covering plant through the year so as to be useful in any time by storing subterranean stem of bamboo grass and bamboos at low temperature. CONSTITUTION:Subterranean stem of bamboo grass and bamboos, especially the stem of 10-40cm length or circularly enfolded to about 5-15cm diameter is stored at low temperature, preferably <=6 deg.C and thus bamboo grass and bamboos for planting is preserved. By said method, bamboo grass and bamboos is able to be preserved through the year without deterioration of fertility.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Technical Field) The present invention relates to a method for preserving bamboo and bamboo for planting. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for preserving bamboos and bamboos for planting, which preserves the underground stems of bamboos and bamboos useful as ground cover plants throughout the year so that they can be used at any time.

(Background technology) Ground cover plants have traditionally been planted on mountainsides, road slopes, residential development sites, golf course development sites, etc. in order to fix the surface soil and prevent soil collapse. .

Weedy plants such as grass are generally known as such ground cover plants, but bamboos and bamboos have also been widely used in recent years. Sasa and bamboos have a strong reproductive capacity, so they can grow well even in poor natural environments such as cold regions, do not die in winter, are resistant to fire, and require almost no pest control measures like those required for grass. There is no need for it, and since the rhizomes strongly bind the soil, soil erosion and collapse of the surface soil can be prevented much more effectively than weedy plants such as grass.

When planting these bamboos as ground cover plants, potted seedlings grown to a height of 5 to 10 cm are usually used.

However, until now, to produce this potted seedling,
The reality is that spring plants require growth management for about a year after being planted in pots, and when potted seedlings are transported to the planting site, they are bulky and cumbersome as they are transported as potted plants. This requires extra expense and labor, and furthermore, when planting, it is necessary to dig holes one by one in the ground where the plants are to be planted, take them out of the pot, and plant them, which takes a lot of time and effort. These points are particularly problematic when planting a large number of potted seedlings over a large area.

Therefore, the inventor has developed bamboo bamboos with rooted underground rhizomes for use as ground covers that can be easily planted at low cost, and has also proposed a planting method using this.

These bamboos are made by dividing underground stems into lengths of about 10 to 40 cm, making them into shapes that are easy to handle, and then covering them with a moisturizing material so that they can be planted as they are. By using these bamboos as ground covers, the labor and expense required for planting can be significantly reduced.

It is preferable to use bamboos that are highly reproductive, that is, those that are harvested at the appropriate time (generally from January to March). However, in reality, preservation is a challenge, and even if large quantities are collected at this time of year, if they are simply kept aside, their reproductive ability will decline and they will soon die, making it impossible to meet demand throughout the year. It is.

Therefore, it is necessary to develop a preservation method that allows bamboos to be stored for a considerable period of time without reducing their reproductive ability. The development of such preservation methods is also required to regulate the supply of bamboos and bamboos for planting to the market.

(Purpose of the invention) This invention was made based on the above-mentioned circumstances, and it is an object to store underground rhizomes of bamboos and bamboos, which are useful as ground cover plants, throughout the year without reducing their reproductive ability. Our aim is to provide a method for preserving bamboo and bamboo for planting.

(Disclosure of the Invention) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method for preserving bamboos for planting, which involves storing the underground stems of bamboos at a low temperature.

As underground rhizomes, the more productive they are, the better.
As for the underground rhizomes to be preserved in this invention, it is preferable that the stocks of bamboos and bamboos are collected at the appropriate time. However, since it differs depending on the type of Sasa bamboo, in this invention as well, the harvesting time is determined according to the type of Sasa bamboo.

In this invention, in order to place the highly reproductive underground rhizomes in a dormant state and preserve them while maintaining their reproductive ability, they are stored at a low temperature, preferably at a temperature of 6° C. or lower, but especially at a temperature of 3 to 4° C.
It is preferable to maintain the temperature at a temperature of 0.degree. C. or lower, and to maintain an appropriate humidity level, for example, 60% or more, so that the rhizomes do not wither and die.

This humidity control may be performed by controlling the humidity in the storage room where the products are stored at low temperatures, or by covering the rhizomes of bamboos and bamboos with a moisturizing material to which a predetermined amount of moisture has been added.

Rhizomes may be rooted or not.

By storing at low temperatures in this manner, the underground rhizomes of bamboos and bamboos can be stored for more than one year.

Note that there are no particular limitations on the types of bamboo and bamboo that can be stored according to the present invention. Underground rhizomes of common bamboos and bamboos used as ground cover plants, such as flathead, myasus, kumazasa, myakosasa, okamezasa, and chigozasa, can be well stored.

These rhizomes are preferably in a form that is easy to handle during storage, and easy to ship and transport. For example, length 10 to 40011, or diameter approximately 5
It can be stored as a circular roll of about 15 aa.

Example Kumazasa was divided into plants in March, and the underground stems were divided into approximately 253 pieces in length. Roll this rooted rhizome into a circle and make the first
As shown in the figure, it was arranged into a ring shape with a diameter of 5 am.

Place this ring-shaped rooted rhizome on a shelf in a storage room and store it at a low temperature by keeping it at -2°C and humidity 75%.

One year later, in April, we were able to ship the plants as ground cover plants.

(Effects of the invention) According to this invention, it is possible to store bamboo and bamboo for planting while maintaining their reproductive ability, and the underground rhizomes of bamboo and bamboo for ground cover can be kept in good quality throughout the year. This makes it possible to supply
