Description

Seeding Port {SEEDING POT}

The present invention relates to a seedling pot.

Generally, crops cultivated in facilities such as vinyl houses are cultivated by growing land grains on the ground to cultivate crops. However, such land cultivation has a disadvantage that the productivity is poor and the seedlings are spread on the floor, so space can not be utilized.

Recently, in order to solve such a problem, a cultivation method utilizing a port for seedling cultivation has been mainly used. The seedling pots can be intensively managed in a small space, and have a structure in which a plurality of unit pots are arranged in rows and columns. However, conventional seedling pots are mainly made of materials such as PE (polyethylene), PP (polypropylene), and PS (polystyrene), and thus contain a large amount of harmful components. Therefore, not only the human body and crops can be adversely affected, but also serious environmental pollution is caused, and the durability is weak, so that it can not be used many times. Further, as the harmful components causing environmental pollution become more strict, use of conventional materials containing a large amount of harmful components may not be possible in the future.

In addition, each end of the side portion 210 can be provided separately from each other. That is, when the user does not use the seedling port 1, the lower portion of the side portion 210 having a relatively small diameter can be inserted into an upper portion having a relatively large diameter. When the seedling port 1 is used The side surface portion 210 may be taken out to the outside. Thus, the seedlings pot 1 can be easily stored. In the present embodiment, the side portions 210 are provided at three different diameters, but the shape of the side portion 210 is not limited thereto. For example, the side portion 210 may be formed in two stages.

In addition, the inner surface of the side surface portion 210 may include a plurality of fine holes (not shown). Specifically, the root roots grown in the inner plant of the unit port 20 can be rubbed with the fine holes while growing, and thus the root roots of inner plants can be increased. Further, the fine roots of the inner plant can be exposed to the outside through the fine holes, so that the fine roots can grow longer. At this time, the fine holes of the side part 210 may be formed through a sander. In the present embodiment, a plurality of fine holes are provided on the inner side surface of the side surface portion 210, but the shape of the inner side surface of the side surface portion 210 is not limited thereto.
