Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial use] The present invention relates to a method for raising seedlings.

[Prior art]

As a conventional example of this type, there is a method of raising seedlings in a pot seedling raiser whose inner and outer surfaces are both smooth, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 55-9778.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

The problem with conventional pot seedling raising devices is that when watering during seedling raising, the smooth outer surface of the pot seedling raising device has poor water absorption, making it difficult to sufficiently water the soil inside the pot.

[Method for solving problems]

This invention provides an outer surface 1 of a seedling growing pot 1 in which the outer surface 1b is an uneven surface and the inner surface 1a is a relatively smooth surface.
This seedling raising method is characterized in that the seedlings are raised in a state in which bed soil and seeds are put into the inner surface 1a and placed in the seedling raising box 6 with the side b facing upward.

[Operations and Effects of the Invention] According to the present invention, seedlings are raised by placing the seedling raising pot 1 in the seedling raising box 6 with the uneven outer surface 1b facing up and the inner surface 1a containing bed soil and seeds. Therefore, when watering during seedling raising, water is easily absorbed into the pot from the uneven surface of the outer surface 1b, and water collects in the concave portions of this uneven surface, and water is uniformly applied to the entire seedling raising device, resulting in good seedling raising. It is something.

〔Example〕

First, to explain the structure of this pot-type seedling raising device A, the upper edge of the seedling raising pot 1 is shaped like a truncated pyramid with a trapezoidal side view and a base area of about 1 to 3 cm ² and a height of about 3 cm. are continuous with each other, and each seedling growing pot 1 has a hole 2 in the center of the bottom, and when a part of the pot 1 is taken out and illustrated, it looks as shown in FIG.

Next, to manufacture this pot-type seedling nursery A,
A mesh forming frame 3 as shown in FIG. 3 is used. This net forming frame 3 has a net 4 made of metal in the same shape as the pot-type seedling raising device A, and a protrusion 5 separate from the net is integrally provided at the center of the bottom surface.

Then, a waste paper solution obtained by dissolving so-called waste paper such as newspaper or cardboard (usually dissolved in water) is scooped up onto the outer surface of the mesh forming frame 3 and deposited to a predetermined thickness. This state of adhesion is shown in FIG. 4, where only the waste paper is deposited on the surface of the net-forming frame 3 without being filtered, and the liquid flows down from the screen.
Then, waste paper does not adhere to the protrusion 5 portion, and this portion forms the hole 2. In this state, after draining, the adhering waste paper and the frame 3 are separated to obtain a pot-type seedling raising device A as shown in FIG.

Pot-type seedling raising device A manufactured in this way
The inner surface 1a side that is in close contact with the mesh forming frame 3 is smooth with almost no unevenness, but the outer surface 1b side is a pox-scarred surface with severe unevenness.

To raise seedlings in the pot-type seedling raising device A manufactured in this way, place the seedling raising device A on a board with the mouth side facing up, and add a little soil (covering soil). After sowing the seeds, filling them with bed soil and covering them with the seedling raising box 6, turning them upside down, removing the upper board and managing the seedlings by watering, the seedlings will grow as shown in Figure 5. .

At this time, the inner wall surface of the seedling-raising pot is formed smoothly, so the amount of bed soil is constant and the seedlings do not grow and grow.The outer wall surface is formed with a rough, pock-like uneven surface, so the surface area is The area becomes wider and has very good water absorption and water retention, allowing you to grow good seedlings with just a short period of watering. Note that if bed soil (top soil) is placed in the valleys of the outer surface 1b, the water retention property will be further improved.
