[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a structure of a combination cell-raising molded cell tray for uniformly producing fruit vegetable seedlings of the Solanaceae family such as eggplants and tomatoes or grafted seedlings of fruit vegetable.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 As is well known, molded cell trays made of plastic such as polyethylene or vinyl have been widely used for raising seedlings of vegetables or flowers. Conventional seedling-growing cell trays consist of a large number of seedling-growing cells that are connected and connected in a grid pattern, and can handle a large number of seedlings per unit area. It is extremely useful in. Furthermore, this seedling raising using a molded cell tray for raising seedlings is said to be particularly effective for raising seedlings of cabbage, Chinese cabbage, lettuce, etc., which can be planted in the state of small seedlings. In other words, as described above, rooting bowls (root balls) are formed for seedlings of vegetables, such as cabbage, Chinese cabbage, lettuce, which can grow small seedlings, regardless of the size of the forming cells in the seedling forming cell tray. As a result, planting work is usually performed when the seedlings can be easily extracted from the molding cell.

On the other hand, recently, with regard to raising seedlings of fruity vegetables (fruit vegetables), there has been a tendency to use the above-mentioned molded cell tray for raising seedlings in terms of labor saving and rationalization. However, in the case of raising seedlings of the solanaceous vegetables as described above, the root pot formation is slower than that at the growth stage (seedling age), and the growth point rises faster than the root pot formation. Therefore, in the above-mentioned conventional molded cell tray for raising seedlings, if the root pot is formed regardless of the size of the molded cell, the seedling has a shortcoming that it becomes a long seedling.

In order to solve this drawback, conventionally, a molding cell tray for growing seedlings having a size of a molding cell commensurate with the growth of foliage and roots was used, or a molding cell tray for growing seedlings having a large number of molding cells was used. A cell tray is used to perform seeding in a zigzag pattern with one cell skipped. However, these methods have the drawback of requiring a large nursery bed space in the former method, and in the latter method, there is a lot of waste of the filling soil filled in the molding cells and mechanical seeding. It does not conform to the above and is inefficient. Furthermore, since the proper temperature (25 to 30 degrees) is required for germination of solanaceous vegetables, the molded cell tray for raising seedlings is usually put in a germination room where the temperature and humidity can be controlled for germination. However, it was irrational and uneconomical because the number of trays increased with respect to the number of seedlings raised.

With respect to the growth of solanaceous seedlings such as eggplant and tomato, as a result of a test study on the relationship between the capacity of the seedling-forming molded cells and the array density (planting density) of the seedling-forming molded cells, when the same cell capacity was obtained, planting was performed. The lower the density, the shorter the stem length and the more balanced the shoots and roots. On the other hand, it was clarified that the shorter the cell volume and the lower the planting density, the shorter the length of the stem.

[0006]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Therefore, this invention is found in conventional molded cell trays for raising seedlings when seedlings of fruit vegetable seedlings of the Solanaceae family such as eggplants and tomatoes, or grafted seedlings of fruit-bearing vegetables are raised using the molded cell tray for raising seedlings. This is a combination of at least two seedling-growing cell tray units, and by combining these in a stack, the seedling-growing cells can be arranged in rows and columns. The seedling-growing cell trays were connected continuously, and at the beginning, mechanical seeding was possible in the state of combining them in a stack, and the cell-growing cell trays for raising seedlings according to the growth of seedlings. By separating each unit to reduce the planting density and to provide a combined cell tray for raising seedlings that contributes to uniform growth of seedlings. That.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention specifically comprises a combination of at least two seedling-growing cell tray units. By forming a single seedling-growing cell tray by continuously connecting a large number of seedling-growing cells in columns and rows by combining them in a stacked manner, each of the seedling-growing cell tray units has a plurality of vertical columns. A plurality of horizontal frames that intersect the plurality of vertical frames, and a plurality of rectangular regions are defined by the plurality of vertical frames and the plurality of horizontal frames; Based on the preset number of unit combinations for forming one seedling molding cell tray, The region is composed of, for each column and row, a seedling-growing cell forming part that is a fraction of the unit combination, and a seedling-growing cell receiving opening of a unit combination number-1 that is equal to the unit combination number. By combining the molded cell tray units for raising seedlings in an overlapping manner, a combination type molded cell tray for raising seedlings in which a large number of molded cell trays for raising seedlings are arranged in a row and a row is constructed.
