Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for raising seedlings of strawberries for growing seedlings of strawberries in a state suitable for transplantation.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, for transplanting strawberries, for example, as disclosed in JP-A-5-137423,
It is well known to use a strawberry transplanter. And
In transplanting with such a strawberry transplanter, in order to place the strawberry seedling in the seedling placement part of the transplanter so that the seedling can be taken out, the strawberry seedling for transplantation is a small plant subdivided from a pre-grown mother plant. It is known that the small seedlings are divided into a plurality of small plants, and then a large number of these small plants are packed in parallel in the front-rear and left-right directions on a seedling stand.

[0003]

However, as in the above-mentioned conventional method, the transplanting machine is used to fill a large number of small plants on a seedling stand, and the work for filling the small plants is required one by one. It takes time and labor, and in particular, it takes a long time to perform the filling, so there is a problem that the ratio of the time required for the filling to the transplanting machine is high and the efficiency is low. there were. In addition, conventionally, it has been proposed that a transplanter mounts seedlings as they are in the mother plant and cuts small plants from the mother plant to plant them. With this structure, it is necessary to simply mount the mother plant. Since it is good, it is easy to handle and it takes relatively little effort, but it is difficult to stably cut out a certain small plant, so the seedling amount at the time of planting becomes unstable, and homogeneous strawberries grow. Was difficult. The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and it is possible to extremely easily attach seedlings to a seedling stand in a transplanter, while the amount of seedlings at the time of planting can be constant. The purpose is to provide seedling raising equipment.

[0004]

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the apparatus for raising strawberries of the present invention is formed by partitioning a large number of compartments for raising seedlings of strawberries by partition walls arranged vertically and horizontally, and A pot seedling forming member is provided with an opening for growing strawberries and seedlings at the top of each partition portion, and in the pot seedling forming member in the mounted state, with the lower end edge of the partition wall that partitions each adjacent partition portion. The pot seedling formation member is configured in a state in which a root-entanglement gap is formed between the pot seedling formation member and the placement surface. The operation and effect of this characteristic configuration are as follows.

[0005]

[Function] That is, the pot seedling forming member is preliminarily filled with soil in each compartment, and the straw seedlings are inserted into each compartment in that state, and the pot seedling forming member is placed on the ground or a box for raising seedlings. By placing and raising seedlings, the seedlings of the strawberries in each division will grow in that division, and the roots of the seedlings will be rooted so that they will also be clogged in each division. Since there is a gap between the lower edge of the and the placing surface where the pot seedling forming member is placed, the grown roots of the adjacent straw grass seedlings can be intertwined, so that the root entanglement Then, the seedlings in each adjacent division are connected to each other, and as a whole, the seedlings are integrally connected to each other by entanglement. Therefore, when the pot seedling forming member is removed after growing in a predetermined state, each seedling becomes a continuous seedling that is connected in a row in a row in the vertical and horizontal directions. It is possible to plant it just by carrying out the work. Then, when planting with a transplanter, it is possible to plant each seedling grown in one section with a planting claw. In addition, since the seedlings grown in each section can have a substantially constant seedling amount, planting can be performed stably, and each seedling can be grown in the same state in the field.

[0006]

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION Therefore, compared to the conventional method in which a small plant is manually filled in a seedling stand of a transplanter, transplanting can be performed by simply placing a continuous seedling on the seedling stand. Because
The planting work can be done easily and the planting work can be done quickly and efficiently, and the planting amount of planting can be made constant so that the cultivation in the field can be made uniform and the growth can be managed. And harvesting work has been successfully performed.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 to 3 show a straw seedling raising and raising apparatus according to the present invention. That is, what is shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 is a pot seedling forming member 1 made of a synthetic resin, and the overall width dimension in the vertical direction is about 700 to 900 mm, and the overall width dimension in the horizontal direction is about 160 to 190 mm. In addition, a large number of partition sections 2 are provided in parallel in the vertical and horizontal directions. This partition 2
The width dimension of each length and width is set to about 15 to 22 millimeters. The partition walls 2 adjacent to each other are partitioned by the partition wall 3 into a rectangular parallelepiped shape, and the partition wall 3 is formed so that the internal space shape of the partition wall 2 forms a trapezoid with an upper end in a side view. ing. Furthermore, each partition 2
An opening 4 for growing strawberries and seedlings is formed on the upper surface of the, and the lower part is also open.
Moreover, as shown in FIG. 1, the vertical width L1 of the outer peripheral wall 1A of the pot seedling forming member 1 is the vertical width L2 of the inner partition wall 3, that is, the partition wall 3 that partitions any adjacent partition sections 2 from each other.
Has been set larger than. That is, the outer peripheral wall 1A and the partition wall 3 for partitioning the partition portions 2 have their upper ends set to the same height, but
The outer peripheral wall 1A is set to be located below the partition wall 3 that partitions the partition parts 2 from each other. Thereby, in the state where the pot seedling forming member 1 is placed, since there is no partition wall 3 in the lower portion of the adjacent partition parts 2, the adjacent partition parts 2 are in communication with each other. The specific dimension of the vertical width L1 is about 25 to 30 millimeters, and the dimension of L1-L2 is about 5 to 10 millimeters.

With the above-described structure, as for growing the straw seedlings, as shown in FIG. 3, the pot seedling forming member 1 is mounted in the seedling raising box 5, and the soil floor 6 is supplied to each partition portion 2 through each opening 4. , Then, insert the small stock obtained from the mother stock in advance into each compartment 2,
It is done by irrigation. Then, when the strawberries are cultivated in a state suitable for planting, the roots of the strawberries are passed through the gap 7 between the lower end of the partition wall 3 for partitioning the adjacent partition parts 2 and the bottom of the nursery box 5. It will be intertwined. Then, at the time of planting, bring the seedlings into the field while keeping the seedlings in the nursery box 5 and mount them on the preliminary seedling stand of the transplanter, or put them in an appropriate place in the field in advance and carry out the planting work. Every time the seedlings run out on the seedling stand, or before they run out,
The continuous seedling W integrated by rooting is taken out from the seedling raising box 5, the pot seedling forming member 1 is removed, and the continuous seedling W is supplied to the seedling stand.

Another embodiment will be described below. [Other Embodiment 1] As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the inner surfaces of the left and right outer peripheral walls 1A, 1A of the pot seedling forming member 1 are located near the lower ends of the wales, and the guide groove 8 extends in the vertical direction in plan view. , 8 are formed, and the bottom plate 9 is inserted into the left and right guide grooves 8, 8 from the horizontal direction so that the bottom of the pot seedling forming member 1 can be entirely closed. Also in this configuration, a gap 7 is formed between the bottom plate 9 and the lower edge of the partition wall 3 that partitions each partition 2 from each other so that the strawberries can be entwined and connected to each other. It is set. With this configuration, when raising seedlings of strawberries, the bottom plate 9 is inserted into the pot seedling forming member 1 in advance to supply the bed soil into each partition 2, and each partition 2 further.
The small plant is inserted into the plant, irrigated, and placed on the nursery in the field. Then, at the time of transplantation, the bottom plate 9 is put on the pot seedling forming member 1 when it is placed on the seedling stand of the transplanter.
The pot seedling forming member 1 is also removed from the continuous seedling. By doing so, since the seedling raising box as described above is not necessary, the seedling raising apparatus as a whole can be made relatively lightweight and inexpensive, and the handleability at the time of transplantation is also high. In addition, the fact that the roots of the pot seedling forming member 1 float up as the roots grow during seedling raising is also regulated by the bottom plate 9 engaged with the pot seedling forming member 1,
It is possible to obtain a continuous seedling W of a certain standard, and it is possible to perform good planting. That is, when the pot seedling forming member 1 floats up due to root growth, the thickness of the root portion in the continuous seedling W becomes large, so that there is a problem that root cutting becomes difficult at the time of planting. The planting can be performed well by obtaining a continuous seedling W of a certain standard that does not cause problems such as root cutting. In addition, you may put the thing of the structure of this another Example 1 in the seedling raising box like the above-mentioned Example, and raise seedlings.

[Second Embodiment] As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, a height of 3 to 5 over the entire width on the left and right in a state of being laterally aligned with the bottom surface of the seedling raising box 5 having a height of about 30 to 40 mm.
The ridge 10 having a millimeter size is formed, and the ridge 10 is formed so as to be located substantially immediately below each partition wall 3 along the lateral direction when the seedling raising box 5 is loaded. With this configuration, when the continuous seedling W of strawberries is obtained in the same manner as in the above-mentioned embodiment, the groove 10 extending in the lateral direction is formed at the root of the continuous seedling W by the protrusion 10. Therefore, the seedling portions in the front-back direction of the continuous seedling W are partitioned by the groove 11. By forming the concave grooves 11 along the lateral direction in the continuous seedling W, as shown in FIG. 8, the seedling feeding mechanism 13 in the seedling stand 12 of the transplanter is composed of the endless rotating belt 14. In the above, the endless rotation belt 14 is provided with the engagement projections 15 that can be engaged with the respective recessed grooves 11 at a pitch that matches the interval between the recessed grooves 11, so that the endless rotation belt 14 can feed the continuous seedlings W. It can be done by pushing the concave groove 11 into which the engaging projection 15 is engaged in the feeding direction. In FIG. 8, the seedling stand 12 is bent near the conveyance start end of the endless rotation belt 14,
The slanting angle of the seedling surface of the seedling stand 12 for the upper hand of conveyance is set to be steeper than that of the lower hand of conveyance for the engaging projection 1
This is because the groove 5 is opened in the front-rear direction at the bent portion so that the groove 5 can be easily engaged with the groove 11. Although FIG. 7 shows the groove 11 formed over the entire lateral width of the continuous seedling W, as shown in FIG.
The ridges 10 may be provided on the seedling raising box 5 so that they are not formed near the left and right ends of the continuous seedling W. The continuous seedling W obtained with the structure of FIG. 9 does not have the recessed grooves 11 formed near the left and right ends thereof, so that the connection strength between the roots before and after each seedling portion is relatively high, and the continuous seedling W is handled. The risk that the continuous seedling W will be unreasonably cut from 11 recessed grooves is also reduced.

It should be noted that reference numerals are given in the claims for convenience of comparison with the drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the accompanying drawings by the entry.
