Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] [Purpose of the invention] (Industrial application field) This invention is a method for growing seedlings of various vegetables, flowering trees, etc. by arranging them in a nursery bed or in a nursery box until they reach an appropriate size. It relates to a pot for raising seedlings used for growing them.

(Prior Art) Generally, this pot for raising seedlings has the configuration shown in FIG. In other words, 1 in the figure shows the pot body which is shaped like a bottomed pot with an open top.This is a thin-walled molded product made of synthetic resin such as polyethylene, and is commonly called a polypot. There are two types of pots, one in the shape of a round pot (not shown), and a drain hole 3 is formed in the center of the bottom plate part 2 of the pot body 1.

In such a seedling-raising pot, a medium (culture soil, etc.) A is placed in the pot body 1, seedlings B of plants such as various vegetables and flowering trees are planted therein, and seedlings B of plants such as various vegetables and flowering trees are planted in that state. Use it by arranging a large number of them and growing them until they reach an appropriate size. When the seedling B has produced many hairy roots and has grown to a specified size, the seedling B along with the medium A at its root is pulled out from the pot body 1 and transplanted to a planting site, and the remaining pot body 1 is Will be discarded.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) By the way, in the conventional pot for raising seedlings mentioned above,
Since only a small drainage hole 3 is made in the bottom plate 2 of the pot body 1, this pot body 1
Seedlings B cannot be transplanted to the permanent transplant site with seedlings B planted inside. In other words, even if the seedling is transplanted while still in the pot body 1, the roots will not spread widely and the seedling will not grow. Therefore, as mentioned above, it is necessary to pull out the seedling B together with the medium A at the base of the pot from within the pot body 1, which is a very troublesome and time-consuming process. There was a problem that medium A fell off and hair roots were broken, which adversely affected the establishment and growth after transplantation.

The present invention was developed in view of the above circumstances, and when transplanting seedlings that have grown to a certain size to a transplanting site, the bottom plate of the pot body can be easily removed and opened wide, and the pot body has a To provide a highly practical pot for raising seedlings that can be transplanted with seedlings in it very simply and without causing any inconvenience such as root collapse.

[Structure of the invention] (Means and effects for solving the problem) In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the seedling raising pot of the present invention has a bottom plate of a thin-walled synthetic resin pot body in the shape of a bottomed pot with an open top. A cut line such as a perforation is provided on the periphery, and the bottom plate can be cut off via this cut line, so that when the seedlings grown in the pot body are transplanted to a planting site. In this case, the bottom plate of the pot body can be easily cut off along a perforation line or the like on the periphery, and the bottom surface of the pot body can be left wide open.
The seedling can be easily transplanted with the seedling kept in the pot body without causing any inconvenience such as root collapse.

(Example) An example of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. Components in the figure that are the same as those shown in FIG. 3 are given the same reference numerals to simplify the explanation.

First, the pot body 1 is a molded product made of synthetic resin such as polyethylene and has a pot shape with an open top and a bottom, as in the prior art, and a drain hole 3 is formed in the center of the bottom plate portion 2. Here, a cutting line 4 such as a perforation is formed on the periphery of the bottom plate part 2 of the pot body 1, and a knob 5 is provided for cutting the bottom plate part 2 through the cutting line 4 when transplanting seedlings. It is being Note that the cut line 4 and the knob 5 are the same as the pot body 1.
After forming, at the same time as punching and forming the drain hole 3 in the center of the bottom plate part 2, a cut is made in the periphery of the bottom plate part 2 using a cutting die.

Therefore, in the above-mentioned pot for raising seedlings, a medium A is placed in the pot body 1, seedlings B of plants such as various vegetables and flowering trees are planted therein, and in this state, a large number of seedlings are arranged in a seedling bed or a seedling box as appropriate. Use it to grow until it reaches a certain size.

When the seedling B produces many hair roots and grows to a predetermined size, it is transplanted to a permanent planting site.
When transplanting, instead of pulling out the seedling B from inside the pot body 1 as in the past, use the pinch piece 5 on the periphery of the bottom plate 2 of the pot body 1.
By pinching and pulling with fingers, the bottom plate part 2 of the pot body 1 is removed via a perforation line 4 such as a perforation on the periphery, and the pot body 1 is opened wide. In this state, the seedling B is transplanted to a planting site while remaining in the pot body 1. Since the bottom surface of the pot body 1 is wide open, the seedling B transplanted together with the pot body 1 can grow large without hindering the extension of roots.

In addition, there is no need to take the trouble of pulling out the seedling B together with the medium A at its root from inside the pot body 1 as in the past, and by simply cutting out the bottom plate 2 of the pot body 1 as described above, Since the seedlings B can be transplanted while still being planted in the pot body 1, the transplanting work becomes very simple and efficient, resulting in significant labor savings, and also prevents roots from collapsing.
There is no need to worry about the medium A at the root falling or hair roots breaking, and the rooting and growth after transplantation will be very good.

In addition, the pot for raising seedlings with the above configuration has a medium (culture soil, rock wool, etc.) placed inside the pot body 1.
Depending on the selection, it can be used for either soil cultivation or hydroponic cultivation.

Further, in the above embodiment, the knob piece 5 was provided by making a notch in the periphery of the bottom plate part 2 of the pot body 1, but it is not necessary to provide this. The bottom plate part 2 can also be cut off by picking it or by hooking a fingertip into the drain hole 3 in the center. [Effects of the invention] Since the invention has been made as described above, when transplanting the grown seedlings to a transplanting site, the bottom plate of the pot body can be easily removed and opened wide, and the pot body can be easily opened. To provide a highly practical pot for raising seedlings that can be transplanted with seedlings still inside, very easily and without causing any inconvenience such as root collapse.
