Sub-irrigation System

The present invention relates to a bottom watering system, and more particularly, to a bottom watering system capable of preventing the most problematic anthrax disease in strawberry seedlings by introducing the seedling of a crop such as strawberry into a bottom watering system, ≪ / RTI >

In general, strawberry seedlings, various crops, and gardening seedlings have been cultivated using a sprinkler-type headwatering system in a facility house. However, when sprinklers are used, water droplets scatter the anthrax bacteria to cause rapid spread of anthrax. There was a problem of unnecessarily wasting water.

The bottom watering system is a seedling method to solve this problem. By supplying the water from the bottom of the pot (pollen) by the bottom water supply, it can prevent diffusion of anthrax and save water and culture liquid. However, in general, when the bottom watering system is installed, the cost of the support for supporting the consignment tray (the support container) is high and the installation of the water supply and drainage structure on the support is complicated and costly. Furthermore, when the drain port or the drain tray is not installed at the bottom of the tray, water or culture liquid drained from the drain port and the gravest seed tray flows to the floor as it is, which makes the floor dirty and inconvenient for people to walk around.
