2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, so-called plant factories have been developed in which vegetables and high-grade flowers are grown in a closed artificial environment without being influenced by the natural environment. In this plant factory, the emphasis is mainly on the promotion of plant growth, and the temperature and humidity are set in the most suitable environment for growing seedlings. The seedlings used here are currently germinated and rooted from seeds in one corner of the plant.

[0003]

However, the environment suitable for the growth of seedlings is not always the best for germination and rooting of seeds, and therefore stable germination in a conventional growing house in a short period of time, Since rooting is performed, uniform seedlings cannot be obtained in a short period of time. If it takes time to germinate and root, the time until harvesting will be prolonged and the rotation of planting will be poor, resulting in an increase in production cost. Further, if the quality of the seedlings is not uniform, the subsequent growth is also affected and uniform crops cannot be harvested, resulting in variations in products (commodities). Furthermore, sufficient water is required for germination and rooting of seeds, and daily water management is required even after seeds are sown on the seed bed, and water supply to the seed bed is complicated. Moreover, at the seedling stage, resistance to pathogenic bacteria is weak, so if bacteria enter the house,
The seeds during germination and rooting are the first to become sick, and they are easily transmitted quickly, and the incidence of defective products that cannot be used as seedlings is high. The present invention has been proposed in view of the above, to ensure uniform and healthy germination, rooting, germination, shortening the period for rooting to increase production efficiency, and by good rooting and germination , The purpose is to stably supply seedlings that can promote subsequent growth and shorten the growth period.

In the germination and rooting house 1 according to the present invention, the ceiling and the four walls are covered with a heat insulating material such as styrofoam plate or glass wool, or the wall is made of a hard urethane foam panel and is insulated from the external environment. By doing so, the heat insulating chamber 2 is formed. An air conditioner 4 that adjusts the inside of the heat insulating chamber 2 to a temperature range of 18 to 25 ° C. and a humidity range of 90 to 100% so that the seeds 3 of soft vegetables such as spinach can germinate and root. To provide.

A duct 5 is arranged to uniformly supply the air conditioned by the air conditioner 4 into the heat insulating chamber 2, or a circulator 6 is provided to forcibly circulate the air in the heat insulating chamber 2. .

In addition, a seedling-raising shelf 8 for supporting a plurality of seedling-raising floor members 7 by arranging them in the vertical direction is provided in the heat insulating chamber 2. The seedling raising shelf 8 is, for example, a frame body provided with caster wheels 9 and movable, and the seedling raising floor members 7 to be stacked can be taken in and out in the lateral direction. In the illustrated embodiment, a plurality of nursery floor members 7 are set on the nursery pallet 10 and the nursery pallet 10 is arranged on the nursery shelf 8.

The seedling raising floor member 7 is formed with a plurality of seed placement portions 11 as shown in FIGS. 3 to 4, for example. The 11 part of this seed placement part is formed of a net-shaped non-woven fabric or the like so as to be rooted and extend downward.

Further, the nursery bed member 7 in the illustrated embodiment
Is a member made of a synthetic resin that can be bent into a V-shaped cross section so that it can be arranged on the seedling raising pallet 10 described later.
The upper edge has a locking piece 12, and the seed mounting portion 11 is formed on the bottom. This nursery floor member 7 is a seed 3
Even after germinating and rooting, it is used as a plant growth container without transplanting, and when it becomes a product, it is used as a package of the product.

The seedling raising pallet 10 is a member used not only for germination and rooting but also for raising.
In this seedling raising pallet 10, a plurality of insertion openings 13 for inserting the above-mentioned seedling raising floor members 7 are provided at appropriate intervals,
After inserting the seed placement portion 11 of the nursery floor member 7 from above,
The locking piece 12 is locked to the edge portion of the insertion port 13 and inserted. It should be noted that this seedling raising pallet 10 can be moved to the hydroponic cultivation tank as it is without transplanting seedlings even after germination and rooting, and there is relatively a gap at the germination and rooting stage. Although it is wide, the insertion ports 13 are opened at intervals so that when the plant grows, it becomes a proper dense state.

According to the seedling raising floor member 7 and the seedling raising pallet 10 as described above, the labor for transplantation according to the growth of the plant is unnecessary and the labor can be reduced. Moreover, the nursery floor member 7
Is used as a package, and the plants grown by one nursery bed member 7 are used as one unit of the product, so that operations such as sorting and bundling are unnecessary.

Next, the supply of seedlings by the germination and rooting method according to the present invention will be described by taking spinach as an example.

First, an appropriate amount of spinach seeds 3 are spread on a seedling raising pallet 10 having a seedling raising floor member 7 inserted thereto by a seeding device (not shown) and spread on various child placing portions 11.

Next, the seedling raising pallet 10 which has been sowed
Are placed vertically on the seedling raising rack 8 and left standing in the heat insulating chamber 2.

The heat insulation chamber 2 is adjusted to a temperature of 20 to 25 ° C. and a humidity of 97 to 100% by an air conditioner 4. This temperature and humidity are the best environment for spinach germination and rooting. Therefore, the spinach seeds 3 absorb water in the air to germinate and root. The time required for germination and rooting is about one and a half to two days.

Since the heat insulating chamber 2 is adjusted to the optimum state for germination and rooting of spinach, germination and rooting are surely and uniformly performed, and it is possible to supply seedlings having a uniform growth rate. Is.

The spinach seedlings obtained as described above are transferred together with the seedling raising pallet 10 to a hydroponic cultivation tank. Since this hydroponic culture tank is filled with a nutrient solution suitable for growing spinach, when the nursery pallet 10 is floated on the nutrient solution, the roots are immersed in the nutrient solution. Then, it is grown in this hydroponic culture tank until it grows into a state in which it can be shipped as a product.

Subsequent hydroponic culture using the above-mentioned seedlings brings about good growth, shortens the growth period until commercialization, increases the number of annual plantings, and significantly improves the utilization efficiency of the house 1.
Moreover, since the seedlings are uniform, the degree of growth thereafter becomes uniform, and the size, color, form, taste, nutritional value, etc. of the grown product are
The quality of the product is stable and the product value is extremely high.

Further, since the seedling stage is spent in the dedicated house 1, there is no damage from diseases or harmful insects, and the number of defective products is extremely small. Moreover, even if a disease occurs, it is easy to take appropriate measures.

Further, as described above, since seeding and commercialization are carried out on one nursery bed member 7, planting work is unnecessary and labor can be greatly reduced.

Although spinach has been described in the above embodiments, the present invention is also applicable to other soft vegetables, such as garland chrysanthemum, komatsuna, lettuce, celery and Chinese vegetables. Moreover, the seedling raising floor member 7 is not limited to a V-shaped bent member, and may be any member that does not interfere with germination and rooting. For example, a sponge cut into a predetermined size may be used.

The present invention has been described above with reference to the illustrated embodiments, but the present invention can be appropriately implemented without departing from the configurations described in the claims. For example, temperature and humidity are
The optimum value can be selected from the above range according to the plant to be raised.
