Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a convenient cultivation aid mainly used when sowing plant seeds.

Traditionally, in various production fields such as vegetable and floriculture, where seedlings are obtained by sowing seeds, seedlings must be transplanted over and over again in order to obtain good seedlings with fully developed lateral roots and fine roots. However, this transplanting process not only forced extremely hard labor on the grower, but also caused great damage to the plant during the process, and did not necessarily have a positive effect on the plant. .

The present invention was made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and it is used at the time of sowing to successfully introduce the rapidly elongating taproot into the hole of the ligature, and the seedlings grow to a certain size. Only then does the development of the main root become inhibited, allowing the natural development of lateral roots and fine roots from them.
To promote development, without ever having to be transplanted,
The present invention aims to provide a cultivation aid that can produce extremely healthy plants that have not been found in the prior art. The cultivation aid of the present invention is a technology related to the cultivation aid described in the patent application filed on December 2, 1980, filed by the same applicant, with the title "Cultivation Aid".

The cultivation aid of the present invention will be described in detail below using examples shown in the drawings.

That is, the cultivation aid of the present invention is a cylinder having the property of deteriorating and disintegrating over time under the germination conditions of plant seeds, or
A ligation tool (1) having a hole in the center is attached to one end of the taproot guiding cylinder (1), which is a bottomed or bottomless molded product with a circular or polygonal ratthorn shape, which has a smaller cross-sectional area. 2) is formed by fitting or pasting.

The product is obtained by filling the guiding cylinder (1) with culture soil (5), etc. as necessary, and sowing plant seeds (6) therein.

Example 1 ○ A hole in the center is provided at the lower end of a bottomed or bottomless induction cylinder (1) in the shape of a cylinder or lappa, which is molded from humus, etc. as the main raw material, and occasionally fertilizers, etc. A cultivation aid formed by fitting and fixing a ligature (2) such as a flat plate.

A cultivation aid similar to the above, which has a large number of small holes (3) in the guiding cylinder (1), mainly in the area where the lateral roots are expected to penetrate.

The cultivation aid of this configuration is buried almost vertically in the field soil up to about 80% of its total length with the end of the ligature (2) attached facing down, and then inserted into the field from the open upper end. When we added culture soil to almost the same height as the ground surface, sowed several seeds on top of it, covered it with soil, and watered it, these seeds germinated within a few days and showed very good growth. Ta. When we dug up the plant during its growth process and observed the underground part, we found that the taproot was successfully attached using the ligature tool (2).
It was introduced into the hole and ligated, and although growth was suppressed below the ligation of the main root, it still survived, but above the ligation, the lateral roots and fine roots from there developed extremely vigorously. .

Example 2 ○Cultivation by fitting an annular ligature (2) into the lower end of a bottomed or bottomless guiding cylinder (1) in the shape of a cylinder or rattan made of humus etc. as the main raw material. Place a small amount of fertilizer, etc. (10) on the inner bottom plate (7) or lower cover piece (9) of the guiding cylinder (1) of the auxiliary tool up to about 80% of the total length.
This cultivation aid is filled with a mixture of culture soil (5), on which several seeds are sown, covered with soil, and sealed with a top cover piece (8).

○ A cultivation aid similar to the above, comprising a number of small thin-walled parts (4) of the guiding cylinder (1), mainly in the part where the lateral roots are expected to penetrate.

When the cultivation aid of this configuration was inserted into the field almost vertically up to about 80% of its total length with the end of the ligature device (2) facing down, and watered, these seeds grew after a few days. The seeds germinated and showed very good growth. When we dug up the plant during its growth process and observed the underground part, we found that the taproot was successfully introduced into the hole of the ligating tool (2) and was ligated, and growth was suppressed below the ligated part of the taproot. However, it still survived, and lateral roots and fine roots from them were developing extremely vigorously above the ligation.

Example 3 Two pieces of a corrugated plate-like material (11) having grooves formed at equal intervals formed from humus etc. as the main raw material are stacked together with the grooves inside, and the corrugated plate-like material (11) A cultivation aid in which a cylindrical part (12) is formed between the two, and a ligature (2) is installed at the bottom of each of the cylindrical parts (12).

The ligature (2) is a cultivation aid with this structure in which seeds are held between the cylindrical part (12) without using culture soil.
When the seeds were buried almost vertically in the ground in a field with the end facing down and watered, these seeds germinated within a few days and showed very good growth. When we dug up the plant during its growth process and observed the underground part, we found that the taproot was successfully introduced into the hole of the ligating tool (2) and was ligated, and growth was suppressed below the ligated part of the taproot. However, it still survived, and lateral roots and fine roots from them were developing extremely vigorously above the ligation.

The bottomed or bottomless guide cylinder (1) used in the cultivation aid of the present invention is molded using humus, natural fiber waste, etc. as the main raw materials, as described in the examples. After the taproot, which rapidly elongates after germination, is successfully introduced into the hole of the lower ligature (2), it gradually deteriorates and disintegrates and acts as a soil conditioner, etc. Lateral roots and fine roots arising from above the ligature of the taproot It promotes the development of children well. In addition, culturing soil (
5) and plant seeds (6), it is often a bottom, or the guiding cylinder (1)
) The upper cover piece (8) and the lower cover piece (9) are attached to the upper and lower opening ends of the cylinder. It is preferable that the base plate portion (7) and the lower cover piece (9) be those that easily deteriorate and disintegrate under the germination conditions of plant seeds. Must not be.

If we are to talk about the taproot ligature (2), which has a hole in the center and which is used in the cultivation aid of the present invention and best characterizes it, then ceramics is generally selected as the material. However, any other material can be used, including plastics, metal, and wood, as long as it can withstand the destructive force that accompanies the enlargement of the taproot.

According to the cultivation aid of the present invention, the taproot that rapidly elongates after seeds germinate descends along the inner wall of the taproot guiding cylinder, and finally passes through the hole of the ligating tool and continues to grow out of the cylinder. This allows the taproot to be reliably introduced into the hole of the ligator. The taproot, which enlarges over time in the hole of the ligature, is relatively tightened around the hole, and the transfer of nutrients, water, etc. into the plant body in this area is significantly inhibited. As a result, the development of the main root below the ligature is suppressed, and at the same time the development of the main root above the ligature is promoted, resulting in the even development of lateral roots from here. The degree of dependence on the taproot below the ligation in the above-ground part of the plant gradually decreases, and the dependence gradually shifts to lateral roots that originate from the taproot above the ligation and fine roots from there. By using the cultivation aid of the present invention, the grower is not only freed from the conventional work of repeatedly transplanting young seedlings, but also the plant is placed in the same location in the field from sowing to harvest. Since the plant is cultivated in such a way that it is free from the repeated heavy blows caused by transplanting, it is able to generate and develop lateral roots and fine roots from them above the main root ligation, naturally and without difficulty, and has a sufficient rhizosphere. This increases resistance to pests and diseases, and increases yield. In addition, with the cultivation aid of the present invention, the fertilizing effect is remarkable in healthy plants in which the lateral roots and fine roots from these have been sufficiently developed above the ligation of the main root, and are suitable for intensive cultivation, which is suitable for fertilization management. The obtained properties are far superior to those obtained by the prior art. The cultivation aid of the present invention can be effectively used in production fields such as vegetable gardening and floriculture where seedlings are obtained by sowing seeds. The cultivation aid of the present invention, in which the guiding cylinder is filled with culture soil and seeding is completed, is extremely simple to use, so it is convenient even for beginners and may be commercially available.
