Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Industrial field of application> The present invention relates to a seeding method.

<Prior Art> Conventional seeding methods are roughly classified into three types, which are a seeding method on a ground surface, that is, a spread method, a point seeding method, and a streak method.

These methods are methods of sowing on the ground surface, and there is no method of sowing in the ground.

<Problems to be Solved by the Present Invention> In some places, seeds sown on the ground surface are easily eaten by birds, moved by wind and rain, and dried.

Furthermore, it is difficult to sow on steep slopes, cliffs, places with a lot of rainfall, and the ground surface such as deserts.

After all, the place to sow is limited to the place where the vegetation condition is good.

In particular, plants cannot be cultivated in places where vegetation conditions are extremely bad, such as in the desert where water evaporates a lot.

<Object of the present invention> An object of the present invention is to provide a seeding method that allows a plant to be cultivated even in such a poor vegetation condition.

<Example> Hereinafter, the sheet-shaped material 5 and the seeding device 6 used in one example of the seeding method of the present invention will be described.

(A) Sheet-like material [Purpose of use] The sheet-like material 5 is spread on the ground surface to cover the sowing ground and used to protect the seeds.

[Material] The sheet-like material 5 is a non-woven fabric and is formed of a material having high durability and low elongation.

For example, it is used in a nonwoven fabric of thermoplastic fibers such as polyamide, polyester, polyacrylonitrile, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene chloride, polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, or a composite of the same and a reticulated reinforcement. It is possible.

Particularly, as the sheet-like material 5 of the present invention, a nonwoven fabric of polyolefin long fibers is suitable.

This non-woven fabric of polyolefin long fibers is made of polyolefin
Since it does not corrode at 100% and the continuous filaments are entangled three-dimensionally, it has sufficient tensile and tear strength as the sheet-like material 5 for covering the ground surface, and has excellent water permeability.

(B) Seeding device (FIG. 2) The seeding device 6 according to the present invention includes a hopper unit 1, a feeding device 2, a power unit 3, and a seeding unit 4.

The hopper unit 1 is connected to the supply device 2 by a pipe or the like, the supply device 2 is connected by a pipe or the like to the seeding unit 4, and the power unit 3 is also connected to the seeding unit 4.

(C) Hopper part The hopper part 1 is composed of the required number of water, seeds, bulbs, fluidizing agents, fertilizers, etc., so that they can be blended in a timely manner.

For example, in this embodiment, the seed hopper 11 and the fertilizer hopper 12 are
And consist of.

(D) Supply device The supply device 2 is a device that mixes the seeds, fertilizers, and the like sent from the hopper unit 1 and supplies them to the seeding unit 4, and even if bulbs and the like are sent from the hopper unit 1, the seeding unit 2 4 to be able to supply.

The supply amount and the delivery time of the supply device 2 are configured by a known structure that can be adjusted.

The adjusted seeds, fertilizers, etc. are sent to the seeding section 4 through the tubular body.

(E) Power unit The power unit 3 uses a known power unit so that the seeding unit 4 can be operated.

(F) Seeding part (FIGS. 3 to 5) The seeding part 4 is composed of an outer cylinder 41, a slide cylinder 42, and a piston 43.

A slide cylinder 42 is slidably positioned inside the outer cylinder 41, and a tip of the slide cylinder 42 is configured so that a part thereof can protrude from a bottom portion of the outer cylinder 41.

Inside the slide cylinder 42, the piston 43 is also slidably positioned.

The number of the seeding sections 4 to be installed may be only one, or a plurality of them may be provided in series.

When a plurality of seeding sections 4 are installed, they can be installed side by side in a row on the bottom surface of the box-shaped material, or can be installed side by side in any number of rows.

Alternatively, a plurality of seeding portions 4 may be installed on the entire surface of the tubular body so as to project, and the seedling portion 4 may be configured to operate while rotating.

When a plurality of seeding sections 4 are installed, the movement of each seeding section 4 can be configured to be adjustable.

[Outer Cylinder] The outer cylinder 41 is a hollow cylinder, has an opening 44 that penetrates the side wall, and is connected to the tube from the supply device 2.

[Slide Cylinder] The slide cylinder 42 is a hollow cylinder, and its tip portion is positioned so as to project from the outer cylinder 41.

The tip portion of the slide cylinder 42 is formed in a sharp shape so that the sheet-like material 5 can be easily pierced and inserted into the ground, and can be easily replaced due to soil conditions, breakage, wear and the like. To do so.

The slide cylinder 42 is driven by the power unit 3 so that the outer cylinder 41
It is constructed so that it can be moved up and down and inserted into the ground.

In this case, the underground penetration length and the penetration speed of the slide cylinder 42 can be set according to the seeding conditions, and the seeding depth and the seeding interval can be adjusted.

By this vertical movement, the sharp tip portion of the slide cylinder 42 can be inserted into and extracted from the ground.

An intake port 45 is opened on the side wall of the slide cylinder 42.

The opening position of the intake port 45 is made to coincide with the opening 44 of the outer cylinder 41 when the slide cylinder 42 moves downward.

[Piston] The piston 43 is a rod-shaped body located inside the slide cylinder 42 and having a function of pushing out the contents in the slide cylinder 42.

This piston 43 is a slide cylinder by the power unit 3.
Position it so that it can slide inside 42.

The moving range and moving speed of the piston 43 can be set according to the seeding conditions.

The range of this movement is such that the tip portion of the piston 43 can move up and down from the tip portion of the slide cylinder 42 to the upper portion of the intake port 45.

The piston 43 may have a function of pushing out the contents in the slide cylinder 42.

Therefore, a fluid such as water or air can be used instead of the rod-shaped body.

Next, the seeding method of the present invention using the above-mentioned sheet-like material 5 and the seeding device 6 will be described with reference to the drawings.

<1> Preparation for seeding Before seeding, the ground in the seeding range and the seeding device 6 are prepared for seeding.

[Preparation of seeding ground] Spread the sheet-like material 5 on the ground in the range of seeding without gaps,
Use piles to fix and cover.

[Preparation of seeding device] The hopper 1 of the seeding device 6 is provided with a required number of hoppers according to the seeding conditions.

For example, a seed hopper 11 and a fertilizer hopper 12 are prepared and seeds used for sowing are put therein.

At this time, the fertilizer can be directly added to the fertilizer hopper 12, or the fertilizer can be put into the capsule-shaped material and then the capsule-shaped material can be put into the fertilizer hopper 12.

The capsule-like material used in this case is one in which the capsule disappears naturally over time, so that the fertilizer stored in the capsule is supplied to the ground in a timely manner. .

Furthermore, it is possible to reduce the number of times fertilizer is supplied after seeding by using several types of capsules having different disappearance times.

<2> Operation of seeding device When the preparation is completed, the seeding device 6 is operated.

<3> Supply to Supply Device The seeds, fertilizer, and the like in the hopper unit 1 are supplied to the supply device 2.

<4> Sending out to seeding section The feeding device 2 mixes seeds and fertilizer suitable for seeding conditions and sends out to the seeding section 4.

<5> Preparation for insertion (Fig. 3) Seeds, fertilizer, etc. sent from the feeding device 2 are fed from the opening 44 of the outer cylinder 41 to the inside of the seeding portion 4 and contact the outer surface of the slide cylinder 42.

At this time, the intake port 45 is located above the opening 44 of the outer cylinder 41.

Therefore, the position of the intake port 45 of the slide cylinder 42 and the position of the opening 44 of the outer cylinder 41 do not match.

Therefore, seeds, fertilizer, etc. do not enter the inside of the slide cylinder 42.

<6> Insertion into the ground (Fig. 4) The slide cylinder 42 is moved downward by the power unit 3 to pierce the sheet-like object 5 and insert it into the ground.

<7> Taking in seeds and the like (Fig. 4) When the slide cylinder 42 is inserted into the ground, the positions of the intake port 45 of the slide cylinder 42 and the opening 44 of the outer cylinder 41 are aligned.

Therefore, seeds, fertilizer and the like are taken into the slide cylinder 42.

The tip of the piston 43 in this state is located above the intake port 45.

The seeds, fertilizers, etc. taken in cannot be directly inserted into the ground.

This is because the tip of the slide cylinder 42 is clogged with earth and sand.

Eventually, seeds, fertilizer and the like will be clogged in the middle of the slide cylinder 42.

<8> Extrusion of seeds, etc. (Fig. 5) Crushed seeds and fertilizer are extruded by the piston 43 from the tip end portion into the ground and seeded.

In this case, if the slide cylinder 42 is adjusted so that it is pushed back by the piston 43 and at the same time, the push-out into the ground is facilitated and seeding is facilitated.

<9> Pulling out from the ground The slide cylinder 42 and piston 43 inserted into the ground are
It is pulled out from the ground by the power unit 3 to be ready for the next insertion.

<10> Completion of sowing Using the sowing device 6, sowing of the entire sowing range is completed.

<Effect> As described above, the seeding method of the present invention is a method of laying and laying a sheet-like material on the ground to be sown without a gap, so that seeds can be seeded while being protected. , It is now possible to grow plants even in poor vegetation conditions.

Therefore, specifically, the following effects can be expected.

(A) The seeds sowed do not need to be sowed extra because they are not eaten by birds or moved by wind or rain.

(B) It has become possible to grow plants on slopes, cliffs, etc., where it was previously considered impossible to grow plants.

(C) In the desert, the amount of water evaporated from the ground surface is large and the vegetation conditions are extremely poor.

According to the seeding method of the present invention, since the ground surface is covered with the sheet-like material, it is possible to prevent evaporation of water from the ground.

Therefore, if there is even a little water in the ground, the water can be preserved, so that the plant can be germinated and the plant can be cultivated.

Therefore, if the seeding method of the present invention is used, the desert can be greened.

(D) Since a non-woven fabric is used as the sheet-like material 5, it is possible to supply moisture to the soil through the non-woven fabric even after completion of sowing, and it is possible to easily replenish water at any time.

Furthermore, by selecting the material of the non-woven fabric, it is possible that the non-woven fabric will disappear naturally by the time of germination.

(E) Penetrate the sheet-like object with a hollow slide cylinder,
The seeds are spread on the surface of the earth using the slide cylinder as a guide,
Further, by adopting a configuration in which the seed is pushed into the ground by the piston using the slide cylinder as a guide, it is possible to punch a hole in the sheet-like material and push the seed into the ground accurately by a series of operations performed almost once.
