Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a method for suspending cultivation of agricultural products, and more specifically, by using a suspending tool, the suspended height can be adjusted according to the growth of the agricultural products. This allows crops to be cultivated while making adjustments.

(Prior Art) The present applicant has previously proposed a hanging tool for cultivating agricultural crops such as melons (Jetko Kouko 2-56). This hanging tool has a U-shaped holding part that holds the T-shaped part of the vine of agricultural products at the lower part of the plate-like body, and a hanging part for the hanging string is formed on the head of this plate-like body. formed and composed.

When cultivating crops using this hanging device, one end of the hanging string is attached to the above-mentioned anchoring part, and the other end of the hanging string is attached to a wire, etc. stretched over the field. According to this article, it is tied together to support crops suspended in the air.
It is possible to favorably maintain the hanging posture of agricultural crops and promote the growth of agricultural crops and vines.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, the above conventional means has a problem in that it is difficult to adjust the suspended height (height from the cropping ground) of agricultural crops. In other words, when cultivating crops such as melons, it is desirable to change the hanging height depending on the cultivation method and growing season of the crop, but with the above conventional means, it is not possible to change such height. There was a problem in that it was difficult to make adjustments freely.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a suspended cultivation method for agricultural products, which allows the cultivation of agricultural products while freely changing and adjusting the suspended height of the agricultural products in accordance with the growth of the agricultural products.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In the present invention, a crop holding portion 3 is provided at one end of a linear body 2, and a plurality of locking portions 8 are formed at a pitch on this linear body 2. A hanging tool 1 made of the above is used, and the locking part 8 is removably locked to a support means 12 such as a steel wire provided in the field, so that agricultural products can be grown suspended in the air.

By re-locking the locking portion 8 to the support means 12 according to the growth of the crops, the crops can be cultivated while adjusting the hanging height of the crops.

(Function) In the above configuration, when cultivating crops such as melons in the air, the holding portion 3 of the hanging tool 1 holds the crops, and one of the locking portions 8 is selected to hold the crops on the supporting means 12.
Agricultural products can be suspended in the air by being locked to. In addition, when changing and adjusting the suspension height according to the growth of crops, etc., the locking portion 8 is removed from the support means 12, and the other locking portions 8 are re-locked to the support means 12. Cultivate crops while freely adjusting the suspension height.

(Example) Next, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings, taking melon cultivation as an example.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a hanging device on which a melon A is suspended and supported, and this hanging device 1 is made of synthetic resin such as polypropylene or polyethylene. The hanging tool 1 has a holding part 3 of a T-shaped part a of a melon A vine bent at one end of a long plate-like linear body 2, and a holding part 3 of the T-shaped part a of the vine of melon A is bent at the other end of the linear body 2. The locking portion 6 of the hanging cord 10 (described later) is integrally formed, and two or more locking portions 8 are formed.
It is formed integrally with the linear body 2 with a pinch.

This locking portion 8 is formed on the front side of the linear body 2, which is the same side as the holding portion 3. In this way, the holding part 3 and the locking part 8
By forming these on the same side, the locking part 8 is locked to the support means 12 (described later), and the holding part 3 is made to hold the melon A. In order to make it easier to take care of, the linear body 2 is prevented from twisting even if the main surface of the holding part 3 is directed toward the walking path between the ridges.

FIG. 3 shows how melons A are being cultivated in the air using the hanging tool 1. Reference numeral 11 denotes columns, and between these columns 11.degree. 11, iron wires 12 serving as supporting means are stretched horizontally, for example, at a height of about 160 cm from the cropping surface. The hanging tool 1 is the above-mentioned iron wire 1
The T-shaped part a of the vine of melon A is held at the lower part of the holding part 3, and the melon A is hung by this hanging device l. is suspended in the air. Cultivating melons suspended in the air via the hanging strings 10 in this manner is called three-dimensional cultivation.

FIG. 4 shows melon A being cultivated in a semi-suspended manner in a field using the suspended device 1.

The locking part 8 of this hanging device 1 is, for example, approximately 60 cm from the planting surface.
It is removably locked to a horizontally stretched iron wire I2 at a height of m, and the T-shaped part a is held at the lower part of the holding part 3. This kind of semi-suspended cultivation at a relatively low position is called semi-vertical cultivation.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, 3a is a drain hole. 7
