BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a whitening device for foliage plants which uses a light-shielding sheet to soften the foliage of vegetables such as green onions, udo and asparagus.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Plants such as vegetables whose foliage is edible are preferably soft and rich in nutrients. For this reason, conventionally, a cultivation method called softening or softening has been already known, in which ventilation or illumination of a plant is turned off to soften the stem or leaf tissue.

[0003] In the conventional soft white cultivation method, for example, a plurality of struts are erected along a foliage plant such as a green onion, and when the plant is small, a rope is connected between these struts to support the side portion of the plant with the rope. When the plant grows to a certain size, a light-shielding sheet is spread between the columns to soften a part of the stem or leaf of the plant.

[0004]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the above-mentioned conventional cultivation method, in order to connect the rope to the support, the rope is encased in the support, and the connecting work is troublesome, and the rope is pulled upward as the plant grows. If it is necessary, it is necessary to loosen the rope and then re-stretch it. This may result in poor workability, and the rope may not be usable again.

Further, even when the light-shielding sheet is connected to the column, the light-shielding sheet is wound around the column and fixed by another member, so that the work of attaching and detaching the light-shielding sheet is troublesome and the work efficiency is poor.

Therefore, the object of the present invention is to make it easy to attach and detach the rope and the light-shielding sheet, to quickly change the attachment position of the rope and the light-shielding sheet as the plant grows, and to enable the rope to be used repeatedly. To provide a softening device.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems] To achieve the above object, the structure of the present invention has a structure in which at least two stakes are erected in series with the foliage plants in the soil in which a large number of foliage plants are planted, and the surface side of the stakes. In a softening device for a foliage plant that fixes a pair of light-shielding sheets for soft white opposite to each other and the back side, the support is a plate body, and a narrow opening part provided on the front side and the back side of the plate body. A dovetail frame, and one of the light-shielding sheets is fixed in each of the dovetail frame on the front side and the dovetail frame on the back side via an elastic locking wire, and a pair of opposing sheets A support member coupled to each rope is fitted in the dovetail frame above the light shielding sheet so as to be vertically slidable. In this case, the support columns composed of the plate body and the dovetail frame having a narrow opening provided on one side of the plate body may be brought into contact with each other to form a column.

Further, the second structure of the present invention is that a plurality of struts are erected in series with the foliage plants in the soil in which a large number of foliage plants are planted, and a pair of soft whites facing each other on the front side and the back side of the struts. In a whitening device for a foliage plant for fixing a light-shielding sheet for use in a foliage plant, the pillar comprises a plate body and a dovetail frame with a narrow opening provided on one side of the plate body. Stand on the same straight line, and the dovetail frames of adjacent columns are arranged in opposite directions on the front side and the back side, and the elastic locking line is arranged in the dovetail frame of every other column. One of the light-shielding sheets is fixed to each other through a pair of support members, and a supporting member coupled to each pair of ropes facing each other is fitted into each dovetail frame above the light-shielding sheet so as to be vertically slidable. It is a feature.

[0009]

Since the slidable support member slides in the dovetail, it can move upward as the plant grows, and the rope supports the required position of the plant each time. Since the light-shielding sheet is fixed by the elastic locking wire, it can be easily attached and detached in the dovetail groove.
