2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in hydroponics of plants, seeds are sown in a nursery basket dedicated to raising seedlings, and the nursery basket is managed in a dedicated seedling raising bed and grown up to a fixed planting, and then transplanted to a dedicated planting bed. Are planting. As shown in FIG. 4, the nursery basket has a truncated truncated quadrangular pyramid shape with a smaller bottom surface than the top surface, and the side and bottom surfaces have a grid pattern with coarse mesh, and the top surface has a seeded sponge. Seeding material 7
Is provided with a fitting hole 5 for holding. The seedling-raising baskets 2 that have been sowed are arranged in order on a slanted seedling-dedicated bed, and the nutrient solution necessary for growing the seedlings is circulated to this dedicated seedling-raising bed by means of a nutrient solution circulator to supply the seedlings. Has been done.

When the seedlings have grown to a certain size, the seedlings are taken out from the raising seedling basket 2 and transplanted into the preset planting frame of the dedicated planting bed for planting.

[0004]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the above-mentioned conventional nursery basket, since the side and bottom surfaces thereof have a coarse grid pattern, the roots that grow as the seedling grows. Spread through the nursery basket lattice, and while being laid and grown on a dedicated nursery bed, it also entangled with the roots of other adjacent nursery baskets that also came through the nursery basket lattice. However, there was a problem in that the entangled roots had to be disentangled when transplanted to a dedicated planting bed. In addition, even if the roots that are entangled are unraveled, the roots of the seedlings may be too wide to fit in the planting frame of the dedicated bed for planting, which means that much time and effort must be spent on planting work. There is a problem to be solved.

Further, in general, the seedling raising period is very slow in initial growth after germination and requires a longer period than the harvesting period. Therefore, the dedicated seedling raising bed is used for a longer period of time than the dedicated planting bed. Even if the dedicated planting bed is vacant, it is necessary to wait for the planting time depending on the growth situation of the seedlings, and during that time, the dedicated planting bed is not used and the efficiency of use of the dedicated planting bed deteriorates. There are also issues to be solved.

Therefore, the present invention has been made by paying attention to the above-mentioned unsolved problems of the related art, and by limiting the spreading range of seedling roots at the time of raising seedlings, transplanting can be easily carried out and fixed planting can be performed. It is an object of the present invention to provide a nursery pot for hydroponic cultivation that can improve the utilization rate of equipment for hydroponic cultivation such as a dedicated bed.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, a nursery pot for hydroponic cultivation according to the present invention is a bed dedicated to planting.
Hydroponics to grow seedlings after sowing until transplanting
In the nursery pot for cultivation, the nursery basket having the fitting hole for holding the seeding material and the spreading of the seedling root are formed in the dedicated bed for planting.
A holding solution for holding the nutrient solution in a dark room , surrounding the side surface and the bottom surface of the raising seedling basket, the nutrient solution holding tank It is characterized in that it has an outside air intake hole formed in a structure that blocks light.

[0008]

According to the present invention, by arranging the nutrient solution holding tank around the seedling raising basket and surrounding the side and bottom of the seedling raising basket with the nutrient solution holding tank, it is necessary to grow seedlings in the nutrient solution holding tank. The nutrient solution is retained and the range of seedling roots is limited by the nutrient solution holding tank. In addition, by periodically supplying the liquid, the nutrient solution in the nutrient solution holding tank is drained from the outside air intake hole, the nutrient solution in the nutrient solution holding tank is circulated, and the outside air is structured to block the external light. The outside air is taken in through the intake holes to prevent root rot of the root without disturbing the growth of the root.

[0009]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, B is a seedling pot for hydroponic cultivation, which is composed of a nutrient solution holding tank 1 and a seedling basket 2. The nutrient solution holding tank 1 is
It is one size larger than the nursery basket 2 and is configured in a container shape with an open top face of a truncated truncated quadrangular pyramid so as to surround the side face and the bottom face of the nursery basket 2. As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the nutrient solution holding tank 1 has a slightly inner center on the side plates 1a to 1d facing the upper end of the water retaining portion 3 that retains the nutrient solution necessary for growing seedlings in the inner lower part thereof. The outside air intake hole 4 is provided from the upper part toward the outer center to slightly lower part. Here, the angle of the outside air intake hole 4 is selected to be an angle that can prevent the outside light from entering when the seedling raising basket 2 is inserted and keep the nutrient solution holding tank 1 in a dark room state. ing. In addition, the nutrient solution holding tank 1 has a size such that the range in which the grown seedling roots are spread fits within the planting holes provided in the dedicated planting bed.

The seedling raising basket 2 is constructed in exactly the same manner as the conventional seedling raising basket, and as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the inverted truncated quadrangular pyramid whose upper surface is smaller than the upper surface is opened. The basket main body 2a and an upper lid 6 that is internally fitted to the upper surface of the basket main body 2a are formed, and the side surface and the bottom surface of the basket main body 2a are formed in a lattice shape. The upper lid 6 has a recess 6 in the center.
a is formed, and a fitting hole 5 for holding a seeding material 7 such as a sponge seeded is bored in the bottom of the recess 6a. The seedling raising basket 2 has a size that does not hinder the growth of seedling roots and that can fit in the nutrient solution holding tank 1.

When raising seedlings in the seedling pot B for hydroponics of the above-mentioned embodiment, a seedling raising basket 2 holding a seeding material 7 such as a sponged seed in a fitting hole 5 is stored in a nutrient solution holding tank 1. Then, the nutrient solution is regularly supplied from the fitting hole 5. The supplied nutrient solution is
The excessively added nutrient solution retained in the water retaining section 3 is drained to the outside through the outside air intake hole 4. The nutrient solution in the water retaining portion 3 is exchanged by this regular liquid supply, and the outside air is taken into the nutrient solution holding tank 1 through the outside air intake hole 4 so that the oxygen in the outside air is not immersed in the nutrient solution. The root rot of the seedling root can be prevented by absorbing it from a part of. Further, since the outside air intake hole 4 is provided so as to block external light from the upper inside portion to the outer lower portion of the nutrient solution holding tank 1, the inside of the nutrient solution holding tank can be made into a dark room state. Invasion does not prevent seedling growth. Further, the seedling root is restricted from spreading to the outside by the nutrient solution holding tank 1.

When the seedlings grow and are to be planted, the seedlings are taken out from the nursery basket 2 and transplanted into the planting holes of the dedicated planting bed. Therefore, according to the above-mentioned embodiment, since the spread of the seedling root is limited by the nutrient solution holding tank 1 to the size corresponding to the planting hole of the dedicated planting bed, the seedling root is set to the planting hole of the dedicated planting bed during planting. The seedlings can be easily and surely placed, and since the seedling roots are isolated for each seedling, the roots do not get entangled with other seedling roots and transplanting can be easily performed.

In addition, since it is possible to carry out hydroponic cultivation in the nursery pot alone without using a dedicated nursery bed, it is possible to grow any number of seedlings in any place other than the dedicated nursery bed. Therefore, by raising the seedlings according to the usage status of the dedicated planting bed, the dedicated planting bed can be efficiently used, and the operating rate of the hydroponic equipment can be significantly improved.

In the above embodiment, the nutrient solution holding tank 1 and the seedling raising basket 2 have a truncated truncated quadrangular pyramid shape.
The shape is not limited to this, and any shape such as a truncated cone shape, a cylinder shape, a polygonal cylinder shape, or the like can be adopted, and the point is that the seedling root can be taken out easily.

[0015]

As described above, according to the present invention, the range for spreading the seedling roots is limited to an arbitrary range by disposing the nutrient solution storage tank around the seedling raising basket that holds the seeding material. And can be easily planted. Also,
By periodically supplying the liquid, the nutrient solution in the nutrient solution holding tank is drained from the outside air intake hole, the nutrient solution in the nutrient solution holding tank is circulated, and the outside air is supplied to the seedling roots through the outside air intake hole. The effect of preventing root rot and facilitating hydroponics can be obtained.
