"Conventional Technology" Conventionally, when producing lawns, there are sowing methods and planting methods, but the former sowing method has the disadvantage that it takes a long time to green up. In addition, the latter planting method had the disadvantage that rooting was uneven and it took too much time to prepare the grass to be planted.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION In view of the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, the present invention is to provide a lawn production method and a lawn production apparatus that are capable of efficiently germinating lawn seeds and greening and growing them.

``Means for achieving the objects of the present invention'' The present invention includes a watering process in which a seedling mat capable of growing grass seedlings is set in a seedling box and watered on the seedling mat; There is a sowing process in which grass seeds are sown and covered with soil, a budding process in which the seedlings that have gone through this sowing process are placed in a budding device maintained at a predetermined temperature and humidity for several days, and then the seeds that have gone through this budding process are greened. The method is characterized in that it includes a greening and growing process.

The present invention also provides a watering device for watering a seedling growing mat set in a seedling growing box, a sowing device for sowing grass seeds on the seedling growing mat irrigated by the watering device, and a sowing device for sowing grass seeds on the seedling growing mat irrigated by the watering device. A soil-covering device for covering soil, a budding device for storing seeds that have passed through this soil-covering device for several days and keeping them at a predetermined temperature and humidity for germination, and a greening and growing room for greening and growing seeds sprouted by this budding device. It is characterized by the fact that it is equipped with

That is, reference numeral 18 denotes a watering device for watering the plate-shaped seedling mat 3 set in the seedling growing box 2, and this irrigation device 18 includes a transport device 19 such as a belt conveyor that transports the seedling growing box 2 at a predetermined speed, and a transport device 19 such as a belt conveyor that transports the seedling growing box 2 at a predetermined speed. Seedling box 2 transported by device 19
It is composed of a shower device 20 that sprinkles water on the seedling growing mat 3 set therein. Reference numeral 21 denotes a seeding device, and this seeding device 21 includes a transfer device 19 that transfers the seedling growing box 2 containing the irrigated seedling growing mat 3, and a seedling growing mat 3 that is irrigated and transferred by the transferring device 19. It is composed of a seed sowing device 22 that sows the seeds 7. 23
is a soil covering device 23, and this soil covering device 23 is a transfer device 1 for transporting a seedling growing box 2 containing a seedling growing mat 3 on which seeds 7 are sown.
9, and a soil spreading device 25 that sows sterilized ±24 onto the seedling mat 3 on which the seeds transferred by the transfer device 19 are sown.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a budding device, which is used for existing paddy rice budding and is equipped with an air conditioner 27 that can control the temperature and humidity inside a storage chamber 26 that stores seedling boxes 2 covered with soil. use. Reference numeral 13 denotes a greening and growing room such as a greenhouse or a plastic greenhouse in which the seeds sprouted in the seedlings growing box 2 are grown to become green.

In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment of the present invention, an example was described in which the seedling growing box 2 is used as it is in the greening and growing room 13 of a greenhouse, a vinyl house, etc., or outdoors, but the present invention is not limited to this, and can be used in a greenhouse, a vinyl house, etc. The greening and growing process 12 may be carried out inside the greening and growing process 13 or when the seedlings are taken out of the seedling growing box 2. Also, as a seedling mat,
Although the explanation has been made with respect to a method using a plate-shaped plate, the present invention is not limited to this, but the present invention is not limited to this. may also be used.

"Effects of the Present Invention" As is clear from the above description, the present invention has the following effects.

(1) An irrigation process in which a seedling mat capable of raising grass seedlings is set in a seedling box and watered to the seedling mat, and a sowing process in which grass seeds are sown on the seedling mat after this irrigation process and covered with soil. The process consists of a budding process in which the seedlings that have gone through this sowing process are placed in a budding device maintained at a predetermined temperature and humidity for several days to germinate, and a greening and growing process in which the seedlings that have gone through this budding process are greened and grown. , grass can be produced efficiently.

(2) According to (1) above, planned production and shipping of lawns becomes possible.

(3) Since a seedling growing mat is used, the grass can grow sufficiently on the seedling growing mat, so it is possible to efficiently prevent grass from not taking root and being destroyed as in the case of the conventional method.

(4) Since grass can be produced by a simple method according to (1) above, costs can be reduced.

Furthermore, if a rice budding device is used, the budding device can be used effectively.
