RU2570711C2 - Collapsible cultivation column for autonomous symbiotic crop production - Google Patents

Abstract

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: collapsible cultivation column comprises vertical surfaces for cultivation and adaptation for fixing the cultivated objects. At that the cultivation columns are formed of flexible material. At that outside of the flexible material the rings are made, fastened vertically by threaded pins. In the rings the holes are made to accommodate the lodgements and cassettes with plants. The flexible material of the column is assembled at the bottom in a narrow sleeve for draining of nutrient solution into a collecting receiver. On top of the column a cap is located, in which the pipe with a nozzle is formed for spraying the nutrient solution.

EFFECT: enhanced usability.

Description

The invention relates to agriculture, namely to hydroponic methods of growing plants, and can be used both in individual farms and in industrial greenhouses.

Known cultivation columns for hydroponic cultivation of plants [Antufiev I.A., patents of the Russian Federation No. 85069, 2248120, 2383127, 2383129, 2386244, 2414121, 2423044].

A common disadvantage of all designs is the high cost of factory pipes of the type Pragma or Corsis used to create cultivation columns. For example, a Pragma pipe 12 m long and 500 mm in diameter costs more than 34,000 rubles, and with delivery up to 38-40 thousand. This requires large initial costs for organizing the construction of even a small greenhouse and intensive vegetable production.

The task of the invention is to reduce the cost of production of cultivation columns for hydroponic plant cultivation.

As a result of the use of the present invention, the formation and retention on the roots of the main plant of hyphae of fungi and other microorganisms that contribute to the formation of mycorrhiza (cohabitation of plant objects of various types) improves, which increases the absorption capacity of the root system of the main plant. As a result of these processes, the plant grows faster, bears fruit more abundantly and the presentation of the product improves.

The above technical result is achieved by the fact that the cultivation columns are formed from a durable and flexible material, for example, from canvas or plastic film of the required thickness. Outside the flexible material, rings or hoops are made of steel, plastic or other material, fastened vertically with threaded rods. In the rings (hoops), holes are made for placing lodges and cassettes with plants. For firmly securing lodgements on the rings, a support plate is made.

The flexible material of the column is assembled at the bottom in a narrow sleeve, allowing the nutrient solution to drain into the collection header. At the top of the column is a cap (cover) in which a nozzle with a nozzle for spraying the nutrient solution is made. The nutrient solution supply line is made with fittings for connecting the nozzle to the nozzle.

The collapsible design allows the formation of columns of different heights depending on production conditions and other production capabilities.

The design is illustrated in FIG. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, where in FIG. 1 shows parts of a column; FIG. 2 - column assembled, in FIG. 3 - fastening of tool holders for supporting plants, in FIG. 4 shows a series of columns in an industrial embodiment, and in FIG. 5 shows a plant cassette.

The starting element is a hoop 1 (Fig. 1), having ears 2 for attaching pins 3 and bundles of hoops to a vertical column 4. Inside the assembled column, flexible material 5 is placed (Fig. 2), which is pressed from above by a conical diffuser 6, in the center the nozzle 7 is made on the nozzle 8. At the bottom of the column, a funnel 9 is formed from flexible material to drain the nutrient solution into the intake manifold 10. The lodges 11 are made along the lateral surface of the hoops (Fig. 3), which are fixed in the plate 12 for strength. . 4) Nutrient Wed rows formed with nozzles 14 which are connected with the injectors 7 through the nozzles 8 in the cap (not shown) of the column. The cassette 15 (Fig. 5) for placement of seedlings is made with perforations 16 and a supporting plate 17. The plants 18 are enclosed in a cassette, which for convenience may consist of two halves.

The inner space of the column is well isolated from the external environment and allows the creation and adjustment of the necessary cultivation parameters (temperature, air humidity, air velocity, carbon dioxide and / or gas mixtures, etc.).

The proposed collapsible cultivation column for autonomous symbiotic crop production works as follows.

A biotechnological composition tested as the most likely conglomerate of symbionts is prepared in special conditions and in a special way. The composition is called by us “sourdough” and is used for growing seedlings. In some cases, yeast can be served in combination with a nutrient solution.

In the initial period, the column is washed, supplying the necessary solutions through line 13 and fittings 14, through nozzles 8 and nozzles 7 and sterilized using special means with closed openings for plant placement. In parallel, seedlings are grown using starter culture in the soil substrate. The finished seedlings are enclosed in cassettes 15 and planted in the holes on the hoops 1, the plants are placed on lodges 11 and the routine of the flow of nutrient solution through the columns with the solution drain through the funnel 9 into the receiving collector 10 is organized according to the regulations.

After reaching the desired condition by the plant object, marketable products are collected, plants 18 are removed, and columns 4 are again washed and sterilized. In the future, the plant growing cycle is resumed.
