The present invention relates to a licorice cultivation vessel and a licorice cultivation method using the same, and more particularly, to a licorice cultivation vessel capable of mass cultivation of licorice and semi-permanent repetitive production after the initial stage, and a licorice cultivation method using the same .

Licorice is a perennial herb of soybean which is naturally grown or cultivated in northern China and Siberia in southern Manchuria and Mongolia in southern Italy. It is widely used for herbal medicines, foodstuffs and cosmetics, and most of them are imported from China. As the area of native land is getting smaller due to the overfishing of wild resources and there is concern about the disruption of domestic licorice supply and demand due to the resource protection policy in China, efforts are being made for cultivation technology.

It is a desert cultivated crop, and it is difficult to cultivate in Korea.

Due to environmental factors such as moisture and soil during domestic cultivation, it is difficult to form rectilinear muscles, resulting in poor merchantability. Recently, a vessel cultivation method in which a vessel type is filled with a pipe type container has been developed and cultivated. However, By repeating the cultivation method, it is difficult to activate due to the mobilization of heavy equipment and labor power.

Licorice is characterized in that the development of rectus muscle is directly related to the product, and when the soil is not moist or has a specific soil, the hair is developed and the productability is not provided. For this reason, there is a problem that the cultivation of the rice field is difficult and the commerciality is not provided.

Accordingly, although the cultivation method using the pipe type port is applied, there is a problem in the mass production due to the assembling and installation of the pipe, the mobilization of the heavy equipment for filling the soil and the labor input, and the repeated labor after cultivation.

The heat insulating member may include at least one of a nonwoven fabric, a cloth, and a heat wire.

6, a licorice cultivation method according to an embodiment of the present invention includes filling a vessel body 100 with water so that the water is sandwiched in a state where the valve 121 of the discharge part 120 is locked (step S10) (S20) opening the submerged valve (121) to smooth out the particles of the sand by discharging water through the discharge filter (not shown), arranging the surface of the sand evenly (S30), germinating seed (S40), covering the sand with a non-woven fabric (S50), finishing the seeding (S50), inducing the roots of germinated seeds to the feeding hose (S60) (S70) supplying one or more of oxygen, and harvesting licorice (S80).

Specifically, the step S10 is a step of filling the container body 100 with water so that the water is sandwiched in a state in which the valve 121 of the discharge part 120 is locked, so that the arrangement of the sand loaded on the container body 100 is performed To form a space so as to be suitable.

Step S20 is for discharging the water filled in the step after step S10 so that the particles of the sand are eventually leveled.

At this time, the sand does not flow out by the discharge portion filter (not shown).

Step S30 is a step of uniformly arranging the surface of the sand. The upper surface side of the vessel body 100 disturbed by steps S10 and S20 and the sand surface are uniformly arranged so as to be suitable for planting the licorice seeds.

Step S40 is a step in which germinated licorice seeds are scattered and covered with sand, and the licorice seeds are germinated by hot water disinfection.

The step S50 is a step of covering the nonwoven fabric on the sand and finishing the seeding. The nonwoven fabric is used to make the temperature of the licorice seed so that the seed can be sprouted, thereby preventing moisture evaporation.

Step S60 is a step of spraying water from the upper part to induce the roots of germinated seeds to the hose 112 of the nutrient supply part 110. The water is supplied from the upper part once a day for 10 days to 15 days after sowing, It is necessary to wait until the roots are lowered in order to find the moisture in the lower layer, not in the upper part.

In other words, licorice is a nutrient that has a dual cotyledon plant. When it feeds water, it has an average growth rate of about 1cm per day. If water supply is stopped for 10 to 15 days and water supply is stopped, 100, the roots grow to the position of the lower layer nutrition supply unit 110 only by the water.

Step S70 is a step of supplying at least one of water, nutrient solution, and oxygen, supplying nutrient solution once a day through the nutrient supply unit 110 after stopping the water supply at the top of the nutrient solution supply, , Feeding the nutrient solution twice through the nutrient supply unit 110 twice a day, and seeding the poorly grown seedlings among the sown seedlings at an interval of 7 cm or more.

After the water supply from the upper part is stopped, once the nutrient solution is supplied once a day by using the hose 112 of the nutrition supply part 110, the root of the licorice reaches the hose 112 of the nutrition supply part 110 after 50 to 60 days It can be seen by a clear change of leaves and stems.

That is, a pronounced change can occur after 40 to 50 days, the leaves begin to appear dark green, become noticeably larger, and the growth rate of the stem increases.

From this time, the concentration of electrical conductivity (EC) is increased and divided into morning and afternoon, and the nutrient solution supply is started twice using the hose 112 of the nutrient supply unit 110 twice a day.

Increasing the concentration of electrical conductivity means increasing the concentration of the nutrient solution and increasing the amount of ion.

In order to prevent the nutrient unbalance growth during feeding of the nutrient solution, the valve 121 is closed and the nutrient solution is supplied. After the nutrient solution is uniformly supplied for a predetermined time, the valve 121 is opened and the nutrient solution is drained .

Here, the predetermined time may be 1 to 3 minutes. If it is less than 1 minute, it is difficult to supply the nutrient solution evenly. If the nutrient solution is more than 3 minutes, the unnecessary nutrient solution may be supplied, and the root may be rotten, so that it is most preferable to wait for 1 to 3 minutes.

Water and oxygen can also be fed as well as the nutrient solution.

This nutrient solution method is applied to the cultivation method using the siphon principle among the salinity solution type.

In step S80, the licorice harvesting step may include filling the vessel body 100 with water so that the water is sandwiched with the valve 121 of the discharge part 120 locked and draining the licorice .

The water is filled into the vessel body 100 so that the sand is submerged so that the sand is separated from the root of the grown licorice so that the root of the licorice can be easily extracted without damage.

At the same time, step S80 may be the same step as steps S10 to S20.

That is, since the water is filled and the sand is separated from the licorice root to form a space in the sand particles, the licorice is extracted, and then the valve 121 is opened as in step S20 to drain the water again to even out the sand particles.

Therefore, the cultivation method described above can be repeatedly performed from step S20, and thus can be a cultivation method that is easy to mass-produce.

In addition, the licorice cultivation method of the present invention may further comprise the step of installing the rain forest structure according to the season.

That is, all of the side shields 132a, b, c, and d are closed during winter cultivation, and some of the side shields are closed with the side shields 132a, b, c and d during spring and autumn cultivation. Can be opened to regulate the cultivation temperature according to the season.

In addition, it can reduce the incidence of spotted fever disease that often occurs after raining.

The licorice cultivation vessel according to the embodiment of the present invention and the licorice cultivation method using the same can be mass-cultivated licorice.

In addition, after the initial process, semi-permanent repetitive production is possible and labor consumption is low.

It is also economically efficient.

In addition, the growth rate of the existing cultivation method is faster than that of the conventional cultivation method, and the growth period can be shortened by half or more.

The embodiments of the present invention described above are not implemented only by the apparatus and / or method, but may be implemented through a program for realizing functions corresponding to the configuration of the embodiment of the present invention, a recording medium on which the program is recorded And such an embodiment can be easily implemented by those skilled in the art from the description of the embodiments described above.
