Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention relates to a plant culture bed suitable for facilitating work particularly during sowing.

[Background of the invention]

Traditionally, a sponge or the like was used as a cultivation bed for plants, and seeds were sown on the flat surface and seedlings were raised until they became adults. However, this method has the disadvantage that not only the position of the seeds on the culture bed cannot be determined, but also that the light seeds may be moved by water supply, wind, etc. even if they are initially sown in a predetermined position.

That is, FIGS. 1 to 3 show conventional culture beds, and FIG. 1 shows a state in which plants 2 are grown in a trough 1. trough l
As shown in the figure, a plurality of plants 2 are planted. The plants 2 are planted on a lid 4 on a support plate 3 attached to a trough 1 via a culture bed 5, as shown in FIG.

Thus, the plants 2 absorb water and nutrients from the nutrient water 8 and grow.

By the way, the plants 2 grow after a certain period of time from the state of seeds 6, and the seeds 6 are sown on a culture bed 5 as shown in FIG. For example, a sponge or the like is used in this cultivation bed 5 to easily draw the roots during the growth process of the plants 2, and cross-shaped slits 7 are used to allow the roots to grow downward.
is cut.

When sowing the seeds 6, the seeds 6 are placed near the center of the slit 7. However, some seeds were sown6
Some of them may shift from the center of the slit 7, and some may be blown away by the wind during the few days it takes for roots to grow, or may be washed away when replenishing the nutrient water 8 and shift from the center. , the roots will not be able to extend into the slit 7, and the subsequent growth of the plant 2 will be adversely affected.

[Purpose of the invention]

The purpose of the present invention is to prevent the sown seeds from being washed away by external effects such as kites or water during water supply, to keep the seeds in a predetermined position, and to encourage the generation of buds in the predetermined position. It is in.

[Summary of the Invention] The present invention provides recesses in the surface of the culture bed in order to protect the seeds from changes in the surface of the culture bed and external influences and to keep them in a predetermined position.

[Embodiments of the invention]

Figure 4.5 shows an embodiment of the present invention, in which a recess 9 is formed on the surface of the culture bed 5 where the slit 7 is cut, as shown in the figure.
is provided, the size of which matches the size of the seeds 6. Note that it may be set to a constant size that can be adjusted even if the size of the seeds 6 changes.

By configuring as above, the seeds 6 [
<Even if the position is determined by the recess 9 and the kite blows,
Even if water hits the seeds 6 during water supply, the seeds 6 do not move from a predetermined position and can take root in the slit 7, resulting in smooth growth thereafter.

The shape of the recess 9 is not limited to a spherical shape as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, but may also be a square shape as shown in FIG. 6, or a pyramid shape as shown in FIG. 7.

8 to 10 show another embodiment of the present invention, in which a plurality of recesses 9a to 9d are provided on the upper surface of the culture bed 5. The seeds are placed in the ninth recesses 9a to 9d in accordance with the number of recesses 9a to 9d.
Sow seeds as shown in the diagram, seeds 68-6d. Plant 2 after a few days
Plants a to 2d germinate and then become double-leafed as shown in Figure 10, but not all of them grow well and may be uneven. Other plants 28.2b and 2d are thinned out and grown as one plant per culture bed.

According to the above embodiment, well-grown seedlings of uniform size remain, and the seedlings continue to grow smoothly, making it possible to obtain homogeneous plants at the time of harvest.

In Figure 9, the seeds are not sown in the cross-shaped slits, but if you cut a slit 1o at the position corresponding to the recess and sow the seeds there, as shown in Figure 1'1, the seeds will grow later. can be encouraged. In addition, in the above example, an example was shown in which 4 seeds were sown and 1 seed was left, but if the seeds have a good germination rate, 2 seeds may be used, and depending on the type of plant and 1 seed, the number of seeds to be sown may be changed as appropriate. It increases and decreases.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, it is possible to prevent the sown seeds from being washed away by external action and to keep the seeds in a predetermined position.
Since germination is promoted and sowing is easy, it is also effective when trying to automate sowing.
