Abstract

The present invention relates to a seedling mat and a method for constructing a seedling growing environment in a seedling box using the same and, more specifically, to a seedling mat comprising fibrous layers and a method for constructing a seedling growing environment in a seedling box, which enables construction of mats among seedlings in a seedling box at an early stage and can reduce the use of bed soil using the same. According to the present invention, the seedling mat has excellent air-permeability, moisture absorption, and drainage by a plurality of fibrous layers which are vertically stacked, and has an advantage of stably producing rice seedlings as the fibrous layers are needle-punched with a base part to secure the root of seeds and support the fibrous layers. According to the present invention, the method for constructing a seedling growing environment in a seedling box using the seedling mat facilitates the operation due to reduced processes for uniformly adjusting the thickness of bed soil since the bed soil is laid only as a single layer, and reduces the use of the bed soil, such that the economic efficiency is achieved and pH adjustment is easy. In addition, transport and management are facilitated at the time of transplantation of rice seedlings, thereby improving the production efficiency. Moreover, it is advantageous in that mats among the seedlings can be formed early since the roots of a large number of seeds are grown in the seedling mat.

Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a seedling mat and a method for raising seedlings in a seedling box using the same,

The present invention relates to a seedling mat and a method for constructing a seedling growing environment in a seedling box using the same, and more particularly, to a seedling mat containing a fiber layer and an early matting method therefor, The present invention relates to a method for creating a seedling environment in a seedling box.

Generally, transplanting methods are widely used not only for the crops such as Chinese cabbage, cucumber and watermelon but also for the rice crops such as rice in order to increase the crop yield per unit. The transplanting method is a cultivation method in which a large number of seeds are sown in a seedling box filled with soil (soil), and the seedlings grown over a certain size in a seedling box are transferred to a field or a rice field at regular intervals by applying water and fertilizer.

In such a transplanting method, the seeding of the seeds in the seedling box requires a process of covering the seeds (seeds) 2 to 3 times the thickness of the soil after uniformly sowing and sowing the soil in the seedling box. Here, the soil in the box of seedlings is not a nearby soil because of the risk of insect pests or weed seeds. In other words, when sowing in a box of seedlings, the soil is sifted from a mountain or a river and sifted to remove sludge, then sprayed uniformly in a box of seedlings, sowed, and then covered two to three times the thickness of the seed. This is followed by maintaining the temperature and humidity, germinating seeds through irrigation and fertilization as needed, and germinating seeds to grow over a certain size.

However, the quantity of the clay is getting smaller and it is hard to pick it up near the farmhouse, and the price of the commercial soil is expensive, which adds to the economic burden of the farmer. In addition, since the soil is stacked on top of the seedling box in the seedling box, the load of the seedling grows so that it is difficult to transport, and when the seedling is separated from the hair growth box, the seedling is easily broken.

Korean Patent Publication No. 10-1152216 discloses a water-borne compression mat using coco peat or peat moss as a main material for reducing the amount of topsoil and reducing the weight of the seedlings during transplanting, And it is difficult to infiltrate into water, and there is a disadvantage that unit price is increased by using imported raw materials such as coco peat.
