Examples of the medicinal plants cultivated by the cultivation method and the cultivation apparatus of the present invention include licorice multiflorum Thunberg, Cynanchum Wilfordi Hemsley, Danshun, Angelica gigas, Hwanggi, and Gakyung. In addition, burdock can be mentioned as a root crop plant to be cultivated. Each plant named here contains the same species used in the same genus. For example, in the case of licorice, it includes various plants in licorice that can be used as licorice and the like. The cultivation method and the cultivation apparatus of the present invention can be used in the case of cultivation of medicinal plants or root crop plants using straight root portions as described above. Straight roots are roots extending in the up and down direction continuously to the ground stems. The straight root obtained by the preferred embodiment can be obtained by cutting out only the part to be a commodity as a herbal medicine raw material or a root canal and removing the part which can be called a branch or a whisker, Or more, more preferably 15 or more, and more preferably 20 or more. In particular, it is preferably 20 or more, and more preferably 30 or more, for root vegetables such as burdock. As a root vegetable other than burdock, it may be called 长 芋.

The cultivation cask used is a round rectangular resin sheet which is closed and assembled. The resin sheet comprises (1) right and left long side portions which are connectable by overlapping and pressing each other and which are detachably connectable to each other by being pulled so as to be separated from each other, (2) a plurality of holes for perforating the flow channels; (3) a row of ridges that can be formed by locally deforming the resin sheet by press working or a row of elongate circular bulges in the vertical direction; (Rows) extending in the vertical direction continuously from the boundary with the upper end portion to the vicinity of the lower end of the rectangular resin sheet, and arranged in the left-right direction so as to sandwich a gap portion narrower than the width of the ridge- And includes a body portion having substantially no holes. Here, the resin sheet is locally deformed by deforming it from a flat resin sheet by a method such as press-fitting between male and female molds.

On the other hand, the long circle of the long circular bulge is in the form of a race track in a preferred embodiment, and the upper and lower ends thereof are made of a semicircle, an arc or an elliptical arc and the middle portion between the upper and lower ends is a pair of straight lines . Accordingly, in the preferred embodiment, the upper and lower ends are formed by a part of a spherical surface, a part of a rotating ellipsoid surface or a curved surface similar thereto, and a middle part between the upper and lower ends is a part of a cylindrical surface, A part of the surface or a curved surface similar thereto. Therefore, in a preferred embodiment, the cross section in the transverse direction (circumferential direction in the tubular state) of the long circular bulged portion is formed by an arc, an elliptical arc, a parabolic shape, or the like. The long circle of the long circular bulge may be elliptical in some cases. The long circular bulge forms a row in the vertical direction with an interval narrower than the width. Also, the heat of the long circular bulge is arranged in the left-right direction (circumferential direction) with a space narrower than the width of the long circular bulge.

The connecting portions provided on the left and right long side portions are formed using a velcro in the preferred embodiment. As the Velcro, various types of Velcro can be used as long as they can realize a sufficient strength connection. For example, one side to be combined may be a mushroom-shaped or rivet-shaped projection, and the other side may be the same or a loop-shaped projection or bristle. Alternatively, one side may be a ring-shaped projection or brushed or a shark-teeth-shaped projection. Velcro can be made by sticking or sticking a tape form to the long side of a resin sheet, and in some cases, it can be provided integrally with the resin sheet by fine molding ("intermold hook") Do. It is also possible to provide a pair of L-shaped protrusions extending in the longitudinal direction on each of the long side portions of the resin sheet forming the cultivation tub, and to fix the sheets provided with the Velcro in the longitudinal direction. As a tape base material of the Velcro, for example, a material such as a polyolefin material may be used and fusion-bonded by a high-frequency welding machine to a resin sheet of a cultivator made of the same kind of polyolefin material. Further, a sheet obtained by laminating a material similar to a resin sheet (for example, a polyolefin material) on the back surface side of a high melting point sheet such as a PET resin sheet as a fusion layer is used, and a high frequency welding machine, It can be fused to the resin sheet. In some cases, commercially available relatively strong velcro tapes can be bonded by a strong adhesive or double-sided adhesive tape. On the other hand, in order to make a part of the resin sheet itself velcro, it is also possible to integrally provide mushroom-shaped protrusions by, for example, injection molding or continuous injection molding.

Examples of commercially available velcro include Velcro (registered trademark) SP / Tape, SE / Tape (Velcro for high frequency welding machine), and Magilock high volume type (for civil engineering) such as Kuraray Fastening Co., Plastic hook), "Magilock" (intermold hook), and "Quicklon HMPP" (with a strong adhesive to polypropylene or polyethylene resin) of YKK Co., Ltd. The commercially available velcro can be attached to the right and left long sides by fusing with a high-frequency welding machine or the like or by adhesion with a pressure-sensitive adhesive or an adhesive tape, and in some cases, the velcro can be stapled or the like. In a preferred embodiment, the Velcro is provided in a single band type continuously extending over the entire length of the main body portion on the left and right long side portions. However, it may also be intermittently extended linearly in the longitudinal direction. In addition, the velcro on the right and left long side portions may be capable of realizing a sufficient connection to some extent before pressing them together.

The connecting portion may be provided by a combination of a protruding portion for fitting and a fitting receiving portion. In this case, the engaging convex portion can be arranged on one long side portion of the right and left sides, and the fitting receiving portion can be arranged on the other long side portion. The fitting receiving portion may be a concave portion or a hole which is fitted to the fitting convex portion. In a preferred embodiment, the fitting convex portion and the receiving portion can be an octagon, a hexagon, a square, a circle, or a shape close to them when viewed from the top view of the resin sheet. The fitting convex portion and the receiving portion are preferably arranged at regular intervals in the vertical direction. At this time, the distance between the convex portions and the distance between the receiving portions may be 10 to 200%, particularly 20 to 100% of the outside diameter of the cultivation pail.

The ridge-shaped portion and the fitting convex portion and fitting concave portion can be simultaneously installed by a single machining operation such as press working. Since the ridge-shaped portion and the convex portion and the concave portion can be formed by local deformation of the resin sheet, all of them protrude from one surface of the resin sheet and sink into the other surface. In addition, the distribution hole and the engagement hole can be simultaneously formed by the punching operation. The resin sheet may be, for example, a low density polyethylene resin (LDPE) having appropriate flexibility and rigidity and excellent durability, or other polyolefin resin. The thickness of the resin sheet at the upper end without deformation (the thickness of the sheet before formation of the ridge-shaped portion) can be 0.1 to 5 mm, particularly 0.2 to 3 mm, for example, 0.3 to 2 mm.

The rectangular resin sheet described above can be assembled in a cylindrical shape by superimposing the left and right long side portions on each other and pressing them to connect with each other. Preferably, it is possible to assemble in a tubular shape only by overlapping only narrow side portions of narrow width, that is, connecting portions vertically extending or arranged vertically. By doing so, it is possible to narrow the width of the rectangular resin sheet as compared with the case where a part of the ridge-shaped portion is also overlapped, and the material cost and the weight of the cultivation can be reduced.

The ridge-shaped portion provided in the main body of the cultivation pail is a shape that bulges along a smooth curve without bending at the horizontal cross section and is preferably arched, It forms an elliptical arc. The shape of the ridges is provided without any part interrupted over almost the entire length of the body to which the soil is to be filled, and since it is in the shape of a bulge in the transverse section, the roots of the plant are not caught or "collided" It is thought that it can prevent branching of root. The present inventors think that when a straight root of a medicinal plant or the like is extended downward in a wild state, a branch of a root is formed each time it hits a stone or a rock. If so, by minimizing the likelihood of jams and collisions, it is possible to suppress the generation of branches and obtain a straight, coarse root with a high commercial value. On the other hand, in order to facilitate the downward extension of the straight root of the plant, a ridge-like form part is needed. By providing the ridge-shaped portion over the entire circumference, particularly, the ridge-shaped portions having substantially the same shape and dimensions are distributed evenly over the entire circumference excluding the portions of the connecting long side portions, so that the apexes of the ridge- It is considered that the root can be guided to the inside of the circle so that sufficient nutrition can be provided from the space between the ridge-shaped portions and the location of the long side of the connection.

In view of the above, the radius of curvature in the case where the ridge-shaped portion is provided in an arcuate shape can preferably be 35 to 65%, particularly preferably 40 to 60% of the radius of the upper end of the reaming block, Is preferably 10 to 30%, more preferably 15 to 25% of the radius of the rears upper end portion. On the other hand, the width of the gaps between the equally distributed ridge-shaped portions excluding the portion of the connecting long side portion is preferably 10 to 40%, more preferably 10 to 25% of the width of the ridge-shaped portion. It is considered that the width of the gap portion is not too small and the slope of the inclined surface of the ridge portion in the vicinity of the bottom portion of the gap portion in the case of seeing from the cross sectional view is not too large from the viewpoint of preventing the root of the plant from being stretched. In this regard, the number of the ridges is preferably 4 to 8, particularly preferably 5 to 7. On the other hand, it is preferable that the width of the connecting long side portion is equal to or slightly smaller than the width of the gap portion between the ridge-shaped portions in order to overlap only the connecting long side portions.

In the case of providing the row of the long circular bulge instead of the row of the ridges, the one row of ridges can be replaced by the two rows of round circular bulges. Therefore, the number of rows of the elongated bulge of the main body can be 8 to 16. The ratio of the length (vertical dimension) to the width (lateral dimension) of the long circular bulged portion can be set to 1.5 to 5 times, particularly 1.5 to 3 times. The longitudinal and transverse spacing of the elongated bulge portions may be 10 to 50%, particularly 15 to 30% of the elongated bulge portion. Even when the heat of the long circular bulge portion is provided, it is possible to promote the growth of the rectilinear portion downward to some extent as in the case of providing the ridge-shaped portion. Further, the effect of reinforcing the resin sheet can be made larger than that in the case of providing the ridge-shaped portion. The long circular bulge can also be provided in the upper end portion of the resin sheet and the long side portions for connecting the right and left sides for reinforcing the resin sheet. In the case of being provided on the left and right long sides for connection, it is possible to alternately provide the joining portion and the elongated bulging portion formed by combination of the Velcro or the fitting concave portion and the fitting convex portion alternately in the longitudinal direction.

In the preferred embodiment, the upper opening has a diameter of 3 to 25 cm, preferably 5 to 25 cm, and a length of 30 to 120 cm. In a preferred embodiment, the diameter of the distribution hole is 1 to 5 cm, and the upper and lower air gap portions have a vertical dimension of 4 to 12 cm. In the cultivation cask, in one embodiment, the ratio of the length to the diameter is 3 to 20, preferably 4 to 10, and the vertical dimension of the upper and lower air gap portions is 20 to 150% of the upper opening diameter of the cultivation cask, Is 30 to 120%, more preferably 40 to 100%. However, it can be suitably changed according to the characteristics of the roots of the plant to be cultivated. For example, a cultivation pail having a length of 20 to 40 cm can be used for growing sugar beet, and a cultivating pail having a length of 60 to 120 cm is used for growing burdock .

When the soil is placed in the cultivation pail, by inserting it into the vicinity of the boundary between the main body part and the upper end part, the space surrounded by the upper end part forms the upper air gap part. A plurality of pairs of flow-through holes, preferably, one to three pairs of flow-through holes are provided in the upper end portion of the cultivation cask. The distribution hole is preferably circular or nearly elliptical in shape. Through the distribution hole, the outside air and the air in the upper air gap portion can be smoothly circulated to each other when the leaf of the plant grows, particularly when covering the opening of the cultivation pail. The distribution holes are provided in pairs at positions corresponding to each other so that the air can pass through the upper end portion and the upper end gap portion of the re-distribution basin from one direction to the other in the horizontal direction. In other words, a pair of distribution holes are formed in the upper end portion of the cultivating cask in such a manner that a hole is formed so as to pass horizontally from one side to the other. Particularly, a pair of distribution holes are provided so as to pass in the left-right direction through a position slightly spaced from the center axis of the rearing barrel, with the direction in which the rearing bars are aligned in the left-right direction. Since there is a stem of a plant at a position along the central axis in the upper air gap portion, it is considered that air is liable to flow out of the position of the central axis.

The plural cultivation cask containing the soil is arranged in the left-right direction so as to be in contact with or close to each other at least in a row. In this manner, a supply pipe for supplying the nutrient solution to the plants during cultivation is arranged to pass through the distribution holes, and is preferably arranged so as to extend in a straight line in the left-right direction. Only one supply pipe may be passed through each cultivation cask, but in a preferred embodiment, two can be passed. That is, the supply of the nutrients can be performed on both sides of the stem of the plant. In this way, the positions of the two pairs of distribution holes passing through the supply pipe are such that, when the supply pipe is located at the lower end of the circular hole, the supply pipe deviates from the central axis of the reed pipe by 10 to 30% Position. In the case where the cultivation cask is arranged in a plurality of rows, that is, when the cultivation cask is arranged in a matrix form, not only air is circulated through the distribution holes between the right and left cultivating cans in the same row but also between the front and rear rows So that the air can be circulated. For example, it is arranged so that the rear row of one row is interlaced with the rear row of the next row, that is, one rear row of the previous row is between the two rear rows of the rear row, which is the next row from the left and right direction, The two flow-through holes on the rear side of the barrel can be partially communicated with the flow-through holes on the front side of the rear barrel, respectively. Further, at least a pair of flow-through holes passing through in the front-rear direction may be provided again. That is, air may be circulated between the upper space portions of the cultivator which are tangentially in the front-rear direction or disposed in proximity to each other.

The supply of the nutrient from each supply pipe into each cultivator may be such that the nutrient solution is dripped from a plurality of small holes provided in the supply pipe in the preferred embodiment. The nutrient solution can be supplied, for example, two or three times a day or every day, for example, using a control device and a low-pressure pump. In addition, by making the number and size of the holes appropriate, it is possible to supply the same amount of nutrients to any cultivation tub. That is, the supply amount of the nutrient solution can be uniformly supplied to any cultivation cask at any supply, without causing irregularities in the cultivation cask or each supply time. In addition, all the nutrients supplied are thought to go into the cultivation pails and permeate into the soil. On the other hand, in the conventional spraying method from the upper side, since the leaves of the plants bloom after being blossomed, the parts that are unnecessary without entering the cultivation vessel are 95% or more in one example.

The supply pipe is a flexible tube made of resin such as low density polyethylene resin (LDPE), ethylene / propylene copolymer resin or other polyolefin resin in a preferred embodiment.

The cross-sectional area of each of the flow-through holes through which the supply pipe is inserted is at least 1.5 times, preferably at least 2 times, more preferably at least 3 times to 20 times, for example, from 3 times to 5 times It is a ship. Thereby, air can flow from one side to the other side in the left-right direction through a space between the supply pipe and the edge of the flow-through hole.

In a preferred embodiment, the cross-sectional area of each of the flow-through holes through which the supply pipe is inserted is 1 to 20%, preferably 2 to 10% of the upper end opening area of the reed can. In addition, a lattice-shaped portion or the like may be provided in the distribution hole. That is, if the supply pipe can be inserted and passed, it may be divided into a plurality of openings instead of one opening, or may be in the form of a mesh. However, it is easy to manufacture by making one round opening, and it is possible to take out from a ridge or the like of carrying or packaging by hanging a finger in this hole.

In a preferred embodiment, the nutrient solution supplied from the soil or the feed pipe into the cultivation pail includes a microorganism containing lactic acid bacteria or yeast, or a fermentation product obtained by using the microorganism. In a preferred embodiment, the nutrient solution supplied from the soil or the feed pipe into the cultivation pail does not contain a pesticide or any other synthetic substance that may compromise the safety of the other. As the soil to be introduced into the cultivation pail, for example, volcanic ash, sand, and humus or compost can be mixed at appropriate ratios depending on the kinds of plants to be cultivated.

In one preferred embodiment, black ash soil distributed at the foot of volcanoes can be placed in the lower part of the cultivation pail, and compost can be placed in the upper part of the cultivation pail. Here, the black ash soil is black or dark brown soil in the surface layer which is highly corrosive in the soil mainly composed of ash. For example, black ash soil can be placed in 40-80% of the lower part of the length of the cultivation pit, except for the upper air gap, and the compost can be placed in the upper part of the rest. In addition, at least one of volcanic ash, fine sand, and compost is added to the black ash soil in an amount of 10 to 50% by weight (based on the soil after mixing). In addition, at least 10% to 50% by weight (based on soil after mixing) of at least one of black ash soil and fine sand may be added to compost. On the other hand, in order to obtain the compost to be used here, the liquid fertilizer is obtained by fermenting the manure of pigs, cattle, and chickens, which are cultivated with no-chemical prey, with a microorganism containing lactic acid bacteria or yeast bacteria as described above, And then they can be fermented in a stacked state.

In a preferred embodiment, seeds or seedlings are buried in 1 to 8, preferably 2 to 5, more preferably 2 to 4 seeds or seedlings in the vicinity of the central axis after putting the soil in the cultivation pail as described above. . It is also possible to insert 10 to 50%, particularly 20 to 40% of the length of the cultivation pail so that the pavement of the pavement is buried in the ground after the seed or seedling is installed in this manner.

Next, the embodiment shown in the drawings will be described in detail.

Fig. 8 shows a state in which the rear pots are arranged densely and the supply pipe 2 is inserted and passed by the sectional view at the upper end portion 12 corresponding to Fig. 8 shows a modification in which a pair of flow-through holes 12B are provided also in the front-rear direction. With this modification, air can be circulated between the cultivating cisterns 1 in the left-right direction through the gaps surrounded by the three cultivating cisterns and the flow-through holes 12A and 12B, .

In a specific example, the length 1A of the cultivating vessel 1 is 60 cm, the width 1B of the rectangular resin sheet constituting the cultivating vessel 1 is about 34 cm, the center axial dimension of the upper end 12 is 6 cm, The width of the long side portions 13 and 14 is 3.5 cm. Therefore, the diameter of the upper opening of the cultivation cask 1 is about 10 cm. On the other hand, in the state of the resin sheet opened in a flat shape, the width of the ridge-like portion 11A is 3.5 cm, the width of the gap portion 11B is 0.5 cm, and the dimension 17 of the ridge- 1.0 cm. The width (the dimension in the direction of the central axis) of the lower end 19 is 0.5 cm. On the other hand, in this embodiment, the outer diameter of the supply pipe 2 is 1.0 cm, and the supply holes 21 are arranged at a distance of about 1.0 cm in a row at the lower end so as to be evenly distributed in the longitudinal direction of the supply pipe 2. The thickness of the resin sheet constituting the cultivating vessel 1, that is, the wall thickness of the cultivating cylinder 1 is about 0.2 cm.

In this embodiment, the cross-sectional area of the distribution angled hole 12A is four times the cross-sectional area of each supply pipe 2, and is about 4% of the top opening area of the cultivator 1. 5, the radius of curvature is about 50% of the radius of the upper portion 12 and the protruding dimension 17 of the ridge-shaped portion 11A is larger than the radius of the upper portion 12 ) Radius, and the number of the ridge-shaped portions 11A is seven. The width of the gap portion 11B is about 15% of the width of the ridge-shaped portion 11A. On the other hand, the length of the cultivating cans 1 is about 6 in diameter, and the vertical dimension of the upper end 12 is about 80% of the diameter of the top opening of the cultivating cans 1. The soil 16 is introduced into each cultivating cistern 1 so as to leave an upper space portion 15 having the same vertical dimension as that of the upper end portion 12 from the tubularly assembled state to the upper end of the main body portion 11 . At this time, first the black ash soil 16B was put into a length of 2/3 of the length other than the upper end, and the compost 16A was added to the remaining one third.

The black ash soil here is taken from the prairies owned by the applicant in the vicinity of the applicant's location In addition, compost is obtained by spraying "BARU microbial fermentation liquid" produced by the present applicant and fermenting wild grasses collected from the same grassland. This "BARU microbial fermentation broth" was obtained by obtaining a complex microorganism solution containing 9 kinds of lactic acid bacteria and 3 kinds of yeast bacteria obtained by using the native herb, and then, in the manure of pigs, cattle and chickens, Which is a liquid fertilizer obtained by fermentation.

As shown in Fig. 7, cultivation cisterns 1 in which soil is placed are inserted into the pavement 34, and are densely arranged so as to come into rough contact with each other in eight columns. Then, the respective supply pipes 2 are arranged so as to extend in a straight line in the left-right direction, that is, in the direction along the ridges 34 of the package, as shown in Fig.

Licorice was cultivated using the above-described cultivation apparatus. First, in spring, the seeds are sown in the central portion of cultivation pail (1), and the above-mentioned " BARU microbial fermentation broth " is supplied twice as a liquid fertilizer through the feed pipe (2). At about 2 to 3 months after sowing, the stem 32 or the leaves 33 extending from the branches completely cover the opening portion of the cultivation pans 1. The appearance of the package when the leaves are silky is completely the same as the photograph of Fig. 11A for the following comparative example, except for the spray for supplying the nutrient solution, so that the same photograph of the embodiment is omitted. However, as a result of cultivation using the cultivation apparatus described above, about one year and half, the plant 3 grew and the main root 31 had a size to be harvested, as shown schematically in Fig. The obtained main muscle 31 had less weight unevenness, and about 90% of the main muscle 31 had a size (about 500 ± 20%) as shown in FIG. In addition, as shown in Fig. 10, about 90% of the branch points are fewer and the product value is high. Glycyrrhizin content was measured by selecting a typical product, which was 15% higher than a typical commercial product (the most common imported product from China).

On the other hand, as a comparative example, cultivation is carried out in the same manner as in the above example, except that the cultivation pail as described in Patent Document 1 is used and the nutrient solution supply is performed by spraying in the same manner as in the past, The photograph of Fig. 11A shows the appearance of the package when the leaves are silk, particularly the spraying state of the liquid fertilizer. In this comparative example, the average weight is about the same, which was needed for about two years. In addition, the unevenness of the obtained main roots was large, and about 30% was found to be 300 g or less. In addition, as shown in the photograph of Fig. 11B, there are many branches, and the value of the product as shown in Fig. 10 is only about 40%. And, the content of glycyrrhizin was 5 ~ 10% higher than that of a typical commercial product.

The amount of liquid fertilizer to be used when supplying nutrients by spraying is twice that of the supply pipe. This is because it is thought that it is about half of the spread of the nutrient solution in the cultivation pail or in the cultivation pail along the leaf or stem. It is considered that even when the average amount of nutrient solution is the same by spraying, irregularities in each cultivation vessel and irregularities every time spraying are large.

On the other hand, when cultivated by a conventional method without using a cultivation tube, it took about two and a half years to three years to grow, and most of them were very branched as shown in Fig. In addition, the unevenness of the weight was larger than that of the comparative example. In the case of cultivating in the same manner as in the above Comparative Example using a complete cylindrical cultivation vessel without an image of a ridge, the photograph was not displayed, but it was approximately halfway between the case of the comparative example and the case of not using the cultivator. That is, the period required for growth, the unevenness of weight, and the degree of branching were approximately intermediate.

Figs. 13 and 14 show photographs corresponding to Figs. 10 and 12 in the case of cultivation of sugar beet. That is, a typical harvested product obtained by cultivating the sugar beet for 6 months by the same cultivation apparatus as the above-mentioned embodiment, and a typical crop obtained by culturing for 1 year by the conventional general cultivation method without using the cultivation pot. 13 was obtained by the same cultivation apparatus and cultivation method as in the case of the above-described embodiment in which licorice was cultivated, except that the length 1A of the cultivation cistern 1 was set at 30 cm and the growing period was set at 6 months . As shown in the photograph, according to the apparatus and method of the present embodiment, the quality and growth rate of the harvested product were remarkably excellent.

The photograph of FIG. 15 shows a typical crop obtained by cultivating Gakgyeong in the same manner as the embodiment of the present invention for the above-mentioned saccharide. That is to say, those obtained by the cultivation apparatus and the cultivation method exactly the same as the case of the above-described embodiment in which licorice root was cultivated, except that the length 1A of the cultivator 1 was 30 cm and the growth period was 6 months. In the case of using the cultivation tub as described in Patent Document 1 and supplying the nutrient solution by the same spraying method instead of the nutrient solution supply by the supply pipe to the apparatus of the present invention, And the quality and growth speed of the plant were remarkably poor.

The photograph of Fig. 16 shows the harvested product obtained by cultivating the white saury for 6 months by the above-mentioned apparatus and method of the comparative example according to the patent document 1. The cultivation by the apparatus and the method of the present embodiment was not completed yet, but it was considered that the growth rate of the white sachet was prolonged in the form of a rod longer than that of the comparative example.

Fig. 17 shows a cultivator 1 'of the first modified embodiment. In this embodiment, the fitting concave portion 13B and the fitting convex portion 14B are respectively provided on the right and left connecting long side portions 13 and 14 instead of the connecting portions 13A and 14A by the Velcro. Likewise, it is shown in a semi-open state. The fitting concave portion 13B and the fitting convex portion 14B are both in the form of a dot and are formed by locally deforming the resin sheet so as to protrude from the surface coming inward from the inside of the rear tube to the outside. The fitting recess 13B is arranged over the entire length of the main body 11 in the long side portion 13 on the left side and the fitting recessed portion 14B is formed on the right long side connecting portion 14 in correspondence with the fitting recess 13B. ) Are arranged. In the cultivator 1 'of the embodiment shown in Fig. 17, the fitting concave portion 13B and the fitting convex portion 14B are tightly fitted to each other so that a detachable connection is made. The modified embodiment using the cultivator of Fig. 17 is completely the same as the embodiment of Figs. 1 to 7 except for the connection portion. Since the fitting concave portion 13B and the fitting convex portion 14B are used in the same manner as in Patent Document 1, it is necessary to engage with a resin hammer or the like in order to assemble in a tubular manner. Therefore, compared with the above-described embodiment using the Velcro, the workability at the time of assembly deteriorates.

Figs. 18 to 21 show the cultivator 1 "of the second modified embodiment. Fig. 18 shows a state in which it is open and in a planar form, and Figs. 19 to 20 show longitudinal and lateral sectional views, respectively. 7, a columnar bulging portion 11C is provided instead of the ridge-shaped portion 11A, as shown in Fig. 18. Here, The upper end portion 11C1 and the lower end portion 11C3 are formed from a part of the spherical surface and the intermediate portion 11C2 between them is formed from a part of the cylindrical surface. In the illustrated embodiment, in the main body portion 11, the long circular bulging portion 11C is formed by the fourteen longitudinal rows 11C2, In the form of a matrix. From, the sheet distance between the circular bulging portion (11C) is also a longitudinal section and one of the transverse circular bulging portion (11C) 15 ~ 25% of the length.

In the illustrated embodiment, the fitting concave portion 13B and the fitting convex portion 14B are provided on the right and left connecting long side portions 13 and 14 in the same manner as the first modified embodiment of Fig. However, the fitting concave portion 13B is octagonal, and the fitting convex portion 14B is circular. In the illustrated embodiment, the right and left connecting long side portions 13 and 14 are provided with two (two) spacers for each gap between the fitting recesses 13B and between the fitting protrusions 14B And a long circular swelling portion 11C is provided. The rectangular extended portions 11C may function in the same manner as the rectangular extended portions 11C of the main body 11 in the overlapped state. The upper end portion 12 is also provided with a long circular swelling portion 11C between the flow-through holes 12A to reinforce the upper end portion 12. [
