Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to an aeroponic cultivation method for pumpkins and an aeroponic cultivation apparatus that specifically implements the method.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, this type of device is as follows.

The cultivation method involves planting seedlings, letting the stems and leaves grow on the ground, and fruiting, enlarging, and ripening on the ground, and then removing the fruit.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The conventional techniques described above have the following problems.

1. In order to eliminate the yellow-green part that occurs due to lack of light, we corrected the bead, and in order to eliminate the deformed part on the bottom, we placed polystyrene paper (14.5 cm) under the enlarged fruit. Pesticides are used at least twice to prevent pests such as powdery mildew and aphids, which often occur on pumpkins with 14.5 cm + 1.

As a result, it takes a lot of effort and time.

In addition, it takes a lot of effort to spray pesticides, and eating pumpkins treated with pesticides causes harmful effects.

2. Mature pumpkins are picked while picking, but at that time, the stems and leaves are so thick that it is difficult to walk around, and it is difficult to judge the degree of maturity. It's taking time.

The present application has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the conventional technology, and its purpose is to provide a device that can do the following.

1.) High harvest and income can be achieved through dense planting.

2) Quality can be improved.

In other words, the sugar content increases as the sugar content matures with sufficient exposure to light.
Connect.

Coloration: The yellowish-green areas created by conventional cultivation methods are gone, and the entire area becomes green.

Deformation: There is no part that touches the ground, so it does not deform.

3) By cultivating with low or no pesticides, it is possible to ensure safety for the human body when eating.

4) It is possible to save labor in cultivation management and harvesting.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is as follows.

The fruit of the present application is a house-like frame made up of arched metal pipes planted in parallel, covered with a net, and after ripening, swelling, and ripening in the air, Carrying equipment and vehicles into the house-like frame, fruit thinning,
This is an aeroponic cultivation method for pumpkins that can be harvested.

In addition, metal pipes IA bent into an arch shape are planted in parallel at predetermined intervals, and side straight pipes IB on the left and right are arranged in a direction orthogonal to the metal pipes IA. 60 cm from the ground
Three rows of intermediate straight pipes LC are installed at equal intervals between these left and right side straight pipes IB to form a house-like frame 1, and the house-like frame 1 is covered with Both sides 2A of the net 2 are an aerobic cultivation device for pumpkins, which are fastened to left and right side straight pipes with strings 2B.

In this case, it is preferable to open both sides of the net placed over the house-like frame 1 by 60 CI11 or more from the ground.

Furthermore, 100cm inward from both sides 2A of net 2.
It is preferable that the width portion 2C has a mesh angle of 4 mm.

[Effect] Explain along with the effects.

[Embodiments of the Invention] The method for aeroponic cultivation of pumpkin according to the present invention consists of the following steps.

A net 2 is placed over the top surface of a semi-cylindrical house-like frame L, which is made by planting metal pipes IA bent into an arch shape in parallel at predetermined intervals. This is an aeroponic cultivation method for pumpkins in which the pumpkins are ripened and then transported using a transporter or a transport vehicle into a house-like frame, where the fruits are thinned and harvested.

A is an aeroponic cultivation device used in this method of aeroponic cultivation of pumpkins.

1 is a semi-cylindrical house frame, in which metal pipes IA bent into an arch shape are planted in parallel at predetermined intervals, and metal pipes and The left and right side straight pipes IB are installed 60cm apart from the ground in the orthogonal direction, and the left and right side straight pipes IB are installed with equal spacing between them.
A straight pipe IC is installed in the middle of the row.

2 is a net placed over the house-like frame 1, and both sides 2A of this net are fastened to left and right side straight pipes with strings 2B.

Hereinafter, detailed examples of the method for aeroponic cultivation of pumpkin will be described with reference to the drawings.

First step: Regarding the planting location of the seedlings, decide whether to use the inner tank or the outer pole for the house-like frame 1, and if it is an inner tank, minus 60 to 8
0 cm, plus 60 to 80 cm for the outer pole, determine the ridge width, and set the spacing between plants to 30 to 45 cm.

In addition, in FIGS. 1 and 2, 11 is a metal pipe I.
A is the planting position, IIA is the specified frontage size of the house-like frame 1, IIB is the seedling planting position, IIC is the distance between plants, and LID is the distance between the planting position 11 of the metal pipe IA and the seedling planting position 11B.

2nd step 4-5 weeks after planting, metal pipe I bent into an arch shape
A are planted in parallel on the ground at intervals of 70 to 100c+a, and the left and right side straight pipes IB are installed at a distance of 60 cm 1llL from the ground in a direction perpendicular to these metal vibrators, and between these left and right side straight pipes IB. Install three rows of intermediate straight pipe ICs at equal intervals.

As a result, the straight pipes are arranged in five rows in total.

3rd step: Cover the metal pipe IA bent into an arch shape with the net 2, and string 2 on both sides of the net to the left and right side straight pipes.
Stop at B.

In this case, both sides 2A of net 2 are 60cm above the ground.
Open more.

In addition, a portion 2C having a width of 100 cm inward from both sides 2A of the net 2 has a mesh angle of 4 mm.

In addition, the mesh angle dimension of the part other than this part 2C is 170
It is about mm.

Step 4: Let the grown stems and leaves creep over the net, and tie the stems 3 with rice straw 4 to the left and right side straight pipes close to the ground.

When the stem grows to about 150 cm, it will naturally extend over the net.

Fifth step: At the middle stage of enlargement, foliar spraying is applied to the leaf surface 3A using a known sprayer 5 as additional fertilizer.

Step 6 If the pumpkin fruit 3B touches the net as it enlarges and leaves traces of the net thread on the pumpkin fruit, the product value will decrease, so cut the net thread with scissors 6 at the point where it touches.

In the seventh stage harvesting work, the transport equipment and transport vehicle 7 are carried into the house-like frame,
Pick the fruit and transport to the sorting station.

[Effects of the Invention] Since the present invention is configured as described above, it produces the following effects.

1. A large number of people can be grown due to high yields and increased product value due to dense cultivation.

In other words, the number of planted plants per 300 tsubo according to the conventional method is 400.
~600 plants, but with the aeroponic cultivation method of the present invention, 800 ~
It is possible to plant 1000 plants.

2. Since the pumpkin matures in the air, it receives sufficient sunlight, does not produce yellow-green parts, and does not deform, producing pumpkins with good taste and quality.

3. The stems and leaves grow thickly on the net, so it has good ventilation (,
Not susceptible to powdery mildew.

4. Since the fruit hangs in the air, it is easy to judge whether the fruit is ripe, and the work is easy because the fruit can be harvested at the right time without missing the right time.
Leads to labor savings.

In addition, there is no problem of reduced yield due to damage to stems and leaves, which is a problem when harvesting using conventional methods.
