DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to sowing of seeds of staple foods such as rice and wheat or sowing of vegetable plants such as radish, eggplant and pumpkin, and also seeding of flower plants such as tulips, morning glories and chrysanthemums. Related to materials (sheeting materials or sorting materials).

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In the case of rice, paddy rice seeds are mainly sown, and in this paddy rice, a method of planting rice in a paddy field is carried out. In this method, germinated rice seedlings are planted at equal intervals in a paddy field. Traditionally, rice transplanting has been done manually, but recently it has been done mechanically.
Wheat sowing is a method in which wheat seeds are sown at equal intervals on a bank-shaped soil bed.
In the case of wheat sowing, it has been carried out manually from the past, but recently it has been carried out mechanically.

[0003] In the case of vegetables, most of them adopt a method in which seeds are sown at equal intervals on the soil floor of a field, and the plant is covered with soil. Alternatively, in a city without a field or the like, an earth bed is formed in a pot or a growing container (planter), and seeds are sown there at equal intervals. In the case of a flower, when it blooms in a flower field, the seeds are sown on the soil floor of the field at equal intervals, and in a city without a field or the like, the soil is formed in a pot or planter and the seeds are sown there at equal intervals.

At the time of seed sowing (seed sowing), a fertilizer for the seed sowing plant is applied before, at the same time or after, and further, an insecticide or a fungicide is applied.

[0005]

The seed sowing (seating) for plants such as staple foods, vegetables and flowers has been carried out as described above. In any case, seeding on the land at regular intervals is fundamental. It has become. However, it is actually difficult to sown the seeds at regular intervals. In the case of manual operation, the seeds are sown at regular intervals based on the general sense. However, seeding at regular intervals is practically difficult and difficult to achieve.Also, even if the seeds can be sown at regular intervals, the size of the intervals differs among plant seeds. The corresponding intervals are set respectively, but it is easy to make a mistake. However, it is difficult to memorize the intervals between various children. In addition, the fertilizer of the seed sowing plant is purchased separately,
It is necessary to apply the fertilizer to the soil bed in advance or to fertilize the surrounding area after sowing the seeds, which is troublesome, and for this reason, the fertilization and insecticidal operations may be forgotten, and the plant may fail to grow. In addition, the operation of applying the insecticide or fungicide to the seed-sown plant also involves the complexity of separately performing the operation, and in the case of a highly toxic insecticide, there is a problem in terms of safety. In addition, these fertilizers, insecticides, or fungicides must be purchased and stored separately, which is cumbersome, inconvenient, and economically disadvantageous. The mechanical method is expensive even if sowed at equal intervals, and is unsuitable for flower planting and vegetable sowing in gardens. In addition, the seedbed will maintain, improve,
Cover sheet for the purpose of improvement and protection, or to keep the temperature at the required temperature after seeding, or to maintain the soil condition by maintaining the required humidity while preventing sunburn and overdrying of the land, etc. (Usually a black vinyl sheet) is covered on its upper surface or upper layer, but it is necessary to separately perform sowing and cover sheet covering work, and in addition to the above-mentioned sowing problems, the covering work of the cover sheet is complicated. .

[0006] The present invention provides a seeding material that solves such a problem.

[0007]

According to the present invention, there is provided a seeding material provided with a hole at a predetermined interval with respect to a cover sheet covering a seeding soil floor, a seed is arranged in one hole and the other hole is provided. A seed fertilizer or insecticide is disposed on the seed sheet, and the seed and the fertilizer or insecticide are integrally fixed to the cover sheet with a planar soluble resin material, and the soluble resin material is in soil or in water. By dissolving and disappearing at, seeding on the soil floor is performed. further,
According to the present invention, a seed and a fertilizer or an insecticide for a seed disposed in a position close to the seed are integrally fixed with a planar soluble resin material, and the soluble resin material is in soil or By dissolving and disappearing in water, sowing is performed. In this case, the fertilizer contains a nutrient and the insecticide also contains a fungicide. Therefore, the seeding can be performed accurately, and the seeding and the cover sheet covering operation can be performed simultaneously.

[0008]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The seeding material provided by the present invention will be described first with reference to an example in which seeds and fertilizer are integrally fixed to a cover sheet. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment in which a seed 2 and a fertilizer 3 are integrally fixed to a cover sheet CS by a planar fusible resin plate 1. The cover sheet CS has a sufficient size to cover the seedbed, and has holes H at positions where the seeds 2 and the fertilizer 3 are arranged, that is, at predetermined intervals. These two holes H
Are paired, and two or more sets are formed when a pair of holes H is formed as one set, and a plurality of sets are formed depending on a sowing purpose.
In this pair of holes H, seeds 2 are arranged on one side and fertilizer 3
Is arranged. In this state, the dissolvable resin plates 1 are attached from both sides of the cover sheet CS, and as a result, the seeds 2 and the fertilizer 3 are integrally fixed to the cover sheet CS at a predetermined interval. The interval L between the seeds 2 is the seed 2
Is set according to the type and size of the soil, the condition of the seedbed to be sown, and the like. In addition, the interval S between the seed 2 and the fertilizer 3 is set to a distance suitable for the fertilizer 3 to nourish the seed 2. Although the illustrated example has two rows, it may have three rows or a multi-row type. In addition, the size of the hole H is particularly the size of the hole H for the seed 2.
The buds grow out of the holes H, and the seedlings and trunks are preferably large enough to grow. When the seedlings and stems grow, it may be possible to tear the cover sheet CS,
In that case, the size of the hole H may be about the size of the seed 2.
If cracks are formed on both sides of the hole H for the seed 2, the hole H
Can be reduced. The shape of the hole H is not limited to a circle, but may be a rectangle or a triangle.

The soluble resin plate 1 for fixing the seed 2 and the fertilizer 3 is, for example, a biodegradable plastic material that dissolves in soil or water and disappears. Any material that dissolves and disappears in soil or water may be used, and is not limited to a biodegradable plastic material. In the drawing, the soluble resin plate 1 is formed in a square shape, but may be formed in a circular shape similar to the hole H. In short, it is sufficient that the seed 2 and the fertilizer 3 are securely fixed to the holes H of the cover sheet CS. Also, regarding the color of the soluble resin plate 1, if the seed 2 and the fertilizer 3 are different colors, and if the color of the cover sheet CS is also different, the location of the seed 2 and the fertilizer 3 becomes clear, which is convenient for handling. . Of course, everything may be the same color,
It is also possible to use a transparent color so that the contents of the fertilizer 3 can be distinguished from the outside. The cover sheet CS can also be made transparent. The fusible resin plate 1 may be adhered to the cover sheet CS by providing the fusible resin plate 1 itself with an adhesive property or via an adhesive.

FIG. 2 is a view showing a longitudinal section of the seeding material of FIG. 1, and the relationship among the seed 2, the fertilizer 3, and the cover sheet CS is clarified. The fusible resin plate 1 includes a fusible resin plate 1U for the upper surface and a fusible resin plate 1S for the lower surface, and these two plates are adhered so as to sandwich the cover sheet CS, and the seed 2, the fertilizer 3, and the cover sheet CS Are integrally formed.
Incidentally, both the soluble resin plate 1U and the soluble resin plate 1S for the seed 2 need to be a soluble resin material, but both the soluble resin plate 1U and the soluble resin plate 1S for the fertilizer 3 are Need not be a soluble resin material, and it is sufficient that at least only the lower surface is a soluble resin material. This is because the purpose is achieved if only the lower surface of the fertilizer 3 is opened and penetrates into the soil. In that sense, the hole for the fertilizer 3 can be omitted. However, due to the positioning of the fertilizer 3 and the manufacturing process (automatic manufacturing device) of the seeding material of the present invention as described later, the hole for the fertilizer 3 is also formed. Is preferred. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a cross section of an embodiment in which an insecticide 4 is integrally fixed instead of the fertilizer 3.

There are various types of seeds 2, such as staple food plants, vegetable plants, and flower plants. The number of seeds 2 is not limited to one as shown in the illustrated example, but may be two or three.
There are various cases depending on the type and size of the device. The amount of the fertilizer 3 is determined according to the distance from the seed 2, the type of the seed 2, the size of the seed 2, and the effect of the fertilizer 3 itself, and is enclosed. Further, one side of the soluble resin plate 1 is typically 2
cm and a thickness of about 0.1 mm are desirable. These sizes are determined by the amount of the seed 2 and the fertilizer 3.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, a relatively large hole H is formed in the cover sheet CS, in which seed 2, fertilizer 3 and pesticide 4 are arranged, and these are dissolved resin plate 1 1 shows the embodiment integrally fixed to the cover sheet CS, and the soluble resin plate 1U on the upper surface is visible. FIG. 5 shows an embodiment in which seeds 2 and fertilizers 3 are arranged and fixed in a staggered manner on a cover sheet CS. In these embodiments, similarly to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the hole H is circular and the fusible resin plate 1 is square.

FIG. 6 shows an embodiment in which the cover sheet CS is formed in a belt shape. One end is wound around a winding shaft 6 and the other end is provided with a fixing thread 5 for fixing the cover sheet CS. I have. A relatively large hole H is formed in the cover sheet CS as in FIG.
In this example, two large holes H are integrally fixed with one soluble resin plate 1. This pattern is vertically arranged in a belt shape. FIG. 7 shows an example in which the present invention is applied to a belt-shaped cover sheet CS wider than that of FIG. 6, and the cover sheet CS is provided with a criterion line K at regular intervals, and each of the sheets to be criticized is vertically long and vertically horizontal. This is an example in which two seeds 2, a fertilizer 3, and an insecticide 4 are arranged in a direction. The fusible resin material has a deformed elliptical shape, and integrally fixes the seed 2, the fertilizer 3, and the insecticide 4 to the cover sheet CS.

The seeding material having such a belt-shaped cover sheet CS as a base is suitable for seeding on an earth floor as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, for example. That is, as shown in FIG.
After seeding on the soil floor 10, the seeding material having the cover sheet CS as a base is rewound from the rolled state after the soil floor 10 is leveled, and one end is attached to the tension yarn 9 surrounded by the fixing yarn 5. Then, the other end side is pulled out and extended, and as shown in the figure, is placed so as to cover the earth floor 10 surface. The soil is hung thereon, and the seed 2 and the fertilizer 3 are buried in the soil as shown in FIG. Then, as time elapses, the dissolvable resin plate 1 of the seeding material dissolves and melts and disappears, sowing is performed, and fertilization is performed at the same time. A suitable example for such sowing is paddy rice, in which case the soil bed is a paddy field. FIG. 13 shows a state of seeding in the paddy field. The dissolvable resin plate 1 in the cover sheet CS is seeded by dissolving with water W. However, in the case of paddy rice, it is customary to sow 2 to 4 seeds 2 collectively (in the case of rice planting, several seedlings are planted). When the water W decreases or disappears, the earth floor 10 appears.
S covers the earth floor 10 and protects the earth floor 10.

FIG. 8 shows a cover sheet CS.
Is an example of a disc shape, and is an example in which the seeds 2 and the fertilizer 3 are arranged at fixed intervals and in a ring shape and fixed integrally, and such a seeding material has a circular shape as shown in FIG. 9, for example. It is suitable for sowing in the pot 7. The embodiment of FIG. 10 is an example in which the seeding material of each cover sheet that has been drilled according to the embodiment of FIG.

In the above, the seeding material in which the seed 2 and the fertilizer 3 are fixed with a soluble resin material using the cover sheet as the base has been described. Next, the seed 2 and the fertilizer 3 are integrated with the soluble resin material as the base. The seeding material that is fixed firmly will be described. FIG. 14 shows a typical embodiment of the dissolvable resin material-based seeding material, in which a dissolvable resin disc 11 has a seed 2 and a fertilizer 3 arranged and fixed at a certain interval, and this is fixed. It is connected by a connecting yarn 16. The dissolvable resin disc 11 is formed in an oval shape, and an adhesive is applied to a joint surface of the discs, and is integrally fixed together with the seed 2, the fertilizer 3, and the connecting thread 16. FIG. 15 shows an embodiment in which the dissolvable resin board 11 has the seed 2, the fertilizer 3, and the insecticide 4 arranged and fixed at regular intervals. Further, FIG. 16 shows an embodiment in which the soluble resin disk 11 is formed in a disk shape, and the seeds 2, the fertilizer 3 and the insecticide 4 are arranged and fixed at a certain interval in a ring shape.

Each soluble resin board 11 thus configured
For example, as shown in FIG. 17, yarn ends 17 are attached to both ends of the connecting yarn 1 to complete the product. And
It is sold in a case 18 as shown in FIG. The cover sheet-shaped seeding material as shown in FIG. 1 is folded, stored in a case or the like, and sold as a product.

The embodiment shown in FIG. 19 is an example in which the seed 2 and the fertilizer 19 are arranged and fixed on the fusible resin disk 13, but is an example in which the fertilizer 19 is annularly arranged. This is a case of seeding where the amount of fertilizer 19 is relatively large relative to seed 2. The embodiment of FIG. 20 is an example in which the fusible resin material is in the form of a fusible resin disk like the examples of FIGS. 14 and 15, and this fusible resin disk fixedly holds the seed 2. This is an example in which the thickness of the fusible resin board 15 and the fusible resin board 14 for fixing and holding the fertilizer 3 are different. The two dissolving resin discs 14 and 15 are integrated with each other. However, when it is necessary to make different times for sowing the seeds 2 and applying the fertilizer 3 to the soil, the respective dissolving resin discs 14 and 15 are provided at respective necessary dissolving times. The molten resin disks 14 and 15 are dissolved. Usually, the time of applying the fertilizer 3 to the soil is earlier than the time of sowing. Therefore, the thickness of the fusible resin disk 14 is formed smaller than the thickness of both the fusible resin disks 15. Of course, the thickness may be the same and the material may be different. In the embodiment of FIGS. 19 and 20, the molten resin plate 11 is not connected by the connecting thread 16 as in the embodiment of FIGS. 14 and 15, but the present invention relates to such a single unit. Seeding materials are also included in the range.
That is, each single substance in the embodiment of FIGS. 14 and 15 is also a seeding material of the present invention.

As the seeding material of the present invention, several examples of a cover sheet base type seeding material and a soluble resin base material type seeding material have been described. Manufactured. FIG. 21 shows an apparatus for producing a seed material in the form of a cover sheet substrate.
