Description

The utility model relates to the field of agriculture and can be used for growing seedlings of seeds and plants from bulbs of vegetable and ornamental crops at home, in laboratories, schools and kindergartens.

A technical solution is known, where the device is a multi-tiered plant for growing plants, including a number of containers placed vertically one inside the other made of translucent material, the lower and upper of which contain a bottom, characterized in that each container is made of a colorless plastic bottle having a neck, a body and the bottom, which is converted into a container for growing plants, while the lower container has the form of a glass and is a fixing element for the subsequent intermediate container, and the intermediate containers with removed bottoms and the upper container are placed with the neck down into the previous container, in addition, the neck has perforated holes evenly spaced along its surface, and the tank bodies are equipped with an opening 7-8 cm in size for filling the neck with soil, disembarking planting material and watering. (Utility model patent of the Russian Federation No. 142988 MPK A0169/00, 2014 - analogue).

The disadvantage of the analogue is the complexity of the device and the limitation in the length of growth of seedlings of higher plants, limited by the upper tier of the container, as well as constant control of soil moisture of germinating plants, the need to regularly irrigate.

A device for growing plants is known, including containers installed one inside the other with the formation of a free cavity between them, one of the containers is designed for water, and the other with a cone-shaped base with a hole for a water-conducting element in the form of a fabric cord with a length reaching the bottom of the water container - for a bed with soil for sowing seeds (Utility model patent of the Russian Federation No. 139000 MPK ⁷ A01G 31/02 - 2014 - prototype).

However, the known technical solution (prototype) has significant drawbacks:

- the device is designed for one batch of seeds and it is not possible to simultaneously lay prototypes all at once;

- has limitations in growth height due to the upper module of the device.

The technical result is to increase the efficiency of growing plants.

The technical result is achieved by the fact that a modular bed, including containers installed one inside the other with the formation of a free cavity between them, one of the containers is designed for water, and the other with a cone-shaped base with a hole for a water-conducting element in the form of a fabric cord with a length reaching the bottom of the container for water - for a bed with soil for sowing seeds, according to the utility model, it has additional containers for a bed with soil for sowing seeds, which are inserted with cone-shaped bases with holes for a water-conducting element into the upper part of the water tank horizontally and symmetrically relative to each other, while the container for water is installed vertically, has a volume 3-5 times larger than the volume of the container for the bed with soil for sowing seeds and holes for installing these containers in them.

The novelty of the proposed proposal lies in the fact that, due to the design features, it is possible to simplify the cultivation of seedlings of plants of different prototypes by creating several horizontal beds from the material intended for recycling.

In addition, the use of the utility model increases the efficiency of growing plants of various prototypes by creating favorable conditions for active growth and development of plants by providing open growth and moisture regulation, both by overhead manual watering and by drainage, in the form of a water-conducting element.

The essence of the utility model is illustrated by the drawing, where in Fig. 1 - shows a modular bed; in fig. 2 - photo of the assembled modular garden; in fig. 3 - also a top view; in fig. 4 - photo - germinated wheat seeds in a modular plant.

Modular plant for growing plants is built according to the "Modular bed" type.

A modular bed includes containers 1 and 2 installed one inside the other with the formation of a free cavity between them. Tank 1 is intended for water, and containers 2 are for a bed with soil 3 for sowing seeds. Tanks 2 have cone-shaped bases 4 with a hole 5 for a water-conducting element 6 in the form of a fabric cord with a length reaching the bottom of the tank 1 for water, which is installed vertically and has a volume 3-5 times greater than the volume of the tank 2 for a bed with soil sown in it with seeds and has holes 7 in the upper part for installing cone-shaped bases 4 of containers 2 in them, which are located horizontally and, to ensure balance, symmetrically relative to each other. The diameter of the holes 7 of the container 1 is commensurate with the diameter of the conical base 4. The containers 1 and 2 are made of transparent plastic bottles. Each container 2 of transparent material is inserted into the hole 7 of the container 1 horizontally at the same level. The upper part of the container 2 has a hollow hole 8, along the length of the container 2 through which it is filled with soil 3 and sown with seeds.

Tank 1 can have a different number of holes 7, depending on the volume of tank 2. To form a modular installation, you can use bottles of 2, 3, and 5 liters for water (tank 1) and bottles (tanks 2) of 0.5, 1, 0 and 1.5 liters for soil with seeds.

Examples of modular beds can be different, for example:

Example 1. If containers 2 have a volume of 1.5 liters, then no more than 4, when using container 1 with a volume of 5 liters;

Example 2. Containers 2 have a volume of 1.0 liters, then no more than 3, when using a container 1 with a volume of 3 liters.

The formation and use of modular beds for growing plants according to example 1 is carried out as follows

Four holes 7 with a diameter of 2.5 cm are preliminarily cut out on the tank 1 in the upper part symmetrically and at the same level, commensurate with the diameter of the neck of the smaller plastic containers 2. In the containers 2, a hollow hole 8 is cut in the upper part along the length of the bottle, through this hole the container is filled with soil . Tank 1 is half filled with water. Through the hole 5 of the cone-shaped base 4, the water-conducting element 6 in the form of a fabric cord is lowered to the bottom of the tank 1. The presence of four tanks 2 (modules) allows you to simultaneously analyze soil samples for phytotoxicity immediately in four repetitions. The presence of a water-conducting element 6 provides constant moisture for germinating seeds for 8-12 days.

The presence of four modules (tank 2) located around the main module (tank 1) allows you to simultaneously test four repetitions of prototypes that are installed at the same level and create equal conditions for all samples. Installed small containers 2 with an open surface allow the seedlings of seeds, test objects to develop freely, to carry out their measurements without damaging the plants. The presence of a water-conducting element allows you to keep the soil moist, which prevents the plants from drying out.
