Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for cultivating wasabi which can be cultivated without being restricted by a place.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Wasabi (Japanese horseradish) includes water wasabi and land wasabi, and water wasabi is considered to be of better quality.
This is because it is cultivated in cold water with few germs.
In order to cultivate this water wasabi (hereinafter referred to as wasabi), mountain streams with low water temperature have conventionally been considered to be suitable sites, and sandy areas have been favorably selected to improve drainage. Therefore, wasabi growers find such places and plant wasabi seedlings. Usually, wasabi is harvested within 2 years after sowing.

[0003]

However, in the conventional method of cultivating wasabi, there is a problem that the location is restricted because the cultivating location must be a mountain stream provided with clear water.

The mountain stream is usually located in a mountainous area away from a house or a place close to the mountainous area. Therefore, it is necessary to visit each of these places for cultivation. Or even if growers live in these places, they have to take them to a distant market for shipping, which makes their cultivation less efficient.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a method for cultivating wasabi which can be cultivated anywhere without any restrictions on the location. ..

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a step of spreading smoldering charcoal in a pot, a step of placing wasabi seedlings on the smoldering charcoal in the pot, and roots of wasabi seedlings. A step of replenishing the smoldering charcoal in the pot so as to cover the slag, and a step of fluidizing the smoldering charcoal by vibrating the pot so that the smoldering charcoal is submerged in the water and fixing the wasabi seedlings. And a step of pulling the pot out of the water.

[0007]

According to the structure of the present invention as set forth in claim 1, the root of the wasabi seedling is covered with the smoldering charcoal spread in the pot, and the pot is submerged in water to vibrate so that the smoldering charcoal is fluidized. It begins to flow between the roots of wasabi seedlings. By pulling the pot out of the water, water is discharged by the permeability of the smoldering charcoal, so the wasabi seedlings are fixed in the smoldering charcoal. After that, the pots are stored in an arbitrary place, and the smoldering charcoal is appropriately injected with water, so that the wasabi seedlings grow in sequence.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, by cultivating the wasabi using the pot in which the outer pot and the inner pot are combined, the wasabi can be cultivated anywhere without any restrictions. It can be carried out.

[0009]

The method for cultivating wasabi of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

First, as shown in FIG. 1, a pot 1 for cultivating wasabi is prepared. As the pot 1, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, a pot made of a combination of an outer pot 10 and an inner pot 20 accommodated therein can be used. The outer bowl 10 has a planar shape as shown in FIG. 8 and a sectional shape as shown in FIG. Further, the inner bowl 20 has a plane shape as shown in FIG.
It has a cross-sectional shape like 1.

The outer bowl 10 is made of a material such as plastic, and is formed into, for example, an octagonal plane shape, has a bottom surface 11 and a brim portion 12 around the upper portion. This outer pot 10 puts water on the bottom surface 11 when cultivating wasabi.
Work to hold on. The inner pot 20 is made of the same material, and is formed in a circular planar shape that can be housed inside the outer pot 10, for example, and has a large number of through holes 21 provided in a mesh shape on the bottom surface.

The partition 22 is formed during the molding process. In the figure, for example, there is shown a structure in which four partition members 22 intersecting at a center point C inside are divided into eight rooms. Further, a collar portion 23 is provided around the upper portion of the inner bowl 20. When cultivating wasabi, the inner pot 20 serves to hold the smoldering charcoal and wasabi seedlings into which wasabi seedlings are planted, as described below, and the through holes 21 allow water to pass through the bottom surface 11 of the outer pot 10.
Work to pass through. Each of the brim portions 12 and 23 is provided for easy handling by hand when performing work.

Next, as shown in FIG. 2, first, the inner pot 20 is used to spread the smoldering charcoal 2 as a medium for planting wasabi seedlings when cultivating wasabi on the bottom surface of the inner pot 20.
As this smoky charcoal 2, rice husk is used as a raw material which is heat-treated and smoky carbonized. However, the material is not limited to this, and other material called perlite (trade name) made by baking pearl stone may be used.

Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 3, the horseradish seedlings 3 are placed on the smoky charcoal 2 in the pot 1. The smoldering charcoal 2 in this state is soft, so the wasabi seedling 3 can be smoky
It will be easily buried inside. Next, as shown in FIG. 4, bowl 1
Smoked charcoal 2 is newly added to cover the roots of the wasabi seedlings 3.

Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 5, the pot 1 is immersed in water 4 so that the smoldering charcoal 2 is submerged, and the pot 1 is vibrated in this state,
For example, it swings in the vertical direction X, the horizontal direction Y, and further in the angular direction θ. As a result, the smoked charcoal 2 in the pot 1 is fluidized and flows into the space between the roots of the wasabi seedling 3. Next, when the pot 1 is pulled up from the water 4 as shown in FIG. 6, the water content is absorbed by the smoky charcoal 2 due to the water retention and water permeability of the smoky charcoal 2, and excess water is discharged from the through holes 21. As a result, smoked charcoal 2
Will be slightly contracted and will be in a slightly solidified state, so that the wasabi seedlings 3 will be fixed by the smoldering charcoal 2. Therefore, it is held in the vertical direction without falling in the horizontal direction. Then, the inner pot 20 is housed in the outer pot 10 serving as a water container, and when water is supplied, the water is stored on the bottom surface 11 of the outer pot 10.

Thereafter, the pot 1 is stored in an arbitrary place in this state, and the smoked charcoal 2 is appropriately water-filled, whereby the wasabi seedlings 3 are gradually grown. For example, once a week in winter
It is possible to grow wasabi seedlings smoothly by injecting water about once or in the summertime, because water temperature makes it easy to get dirty, so injecting once a day.

When water is poured in this way, the water permeates the smoky charcoal 2 and passes through the through holes 21 in the bottom surface of the inner bowl 20 and is stored in the bottom surface 11 of the outer bowl 10. Therefore, since the water storage component is sequentially supplied to the wasabi seedling 3, it can grow smoothly.

Alternatively, a plurality of pots 1 may be put together in a river for cultivation.
Also in this case, the wasabi seedlings grow steadily by constantly supplying fresh water. In any case, since smoldering charcoal has a water purification effect, tap water or the like can be used instead of spring water as in the past.

As described above, according to the method for cultivating wasabi of the present invention, since the wasabi seedlings 3 are cultivated in the pot 1, it is possible to cultivate them anywhere without any restrictions. For this reason, since the place for cultivation can be selected according to the purpose without being limited to the mountain stream as in the conventional case, the place for cultivation can be selected in the vicinity of the market so that the efficiency of cultivation can be improved. Moreover, the time until harvest can be cultivated to the same extent as before.

Since the pots 1 are used for cultivation, they can be placed in a room for ornamental use. In addition, it is possible to move freely in the room.

Further, since the pot 1 is used even when cultivating as a business, it is possible to cultivate indoors because a sandy land is unnecessary, and it is possible to effectively use a place with a small space.

Furthermore, since the cultivation can be easily carried out at any place, the number of workers can be small and it is also useful for solving the labor shortage.

The size of the pot can be arbitrarily set according to the purpose, use, etc. If a plurality of pots are collectively managed, it is possible to cope with mass cultivation.

[0024]

As described above, according to the present invention, pots were pulled out from water by planting wasabi seedlings in smoldering charcoal using a pot and vibrating the pot to fluidize the smoldering charcoal. At this time, unnecessary water was discharged by smoldering charcoal to fix the wasabi seedlings, and then the wasabi seedlings were allowed to grow, so that the wasabi seedlings could be grown anywhere without being restricted by the location. Therefore, the efficiency of cultivation can be improved.
