Description

Sprout cultivation method and planting device thereof

The invention relates to a plant cultivation method and a device thereof, in particular to a sprout cultivation method and a planting device thereof which effectively improve the germination rate.

Sprout has a crisp taste and high nutritional value and is a high quality vegetable. Traditionally, in the process of cultivating sprouts, problems such as low germination rate and poor antibacterial ability are often encountered, and planters and agricultural improvement units have begun to study the germination mechanism of seeds in order to solve the problem of traditionally cultivating the quality of sprouts.

In the course of research, it was found that the poor quality of seed cultivation was mainly due to the physiological mechanism of seed dormancy. Physical dormancy means that the seed coat or peel of the seed is impervious to water, so that the seed cannot induce germination by water absorption. In order to improve the germination restriction of physical dormancy, the commonly used methods include scratch treatment and immersion chemicals. The scratch treatment is to cut the impervious seed coat or peel, so that the seeds can easily absorb water, and the soaking chemicals are soaked. Strong acid or biological regulators erode the seed coat or peel, allowing water to easily penetrate into the seed and induce germ growth.

However, although the aforementioned treatment method can effectively improve the germination rate of the seed, the scratch treatment and the immersion chemical agent are partially deficient, wherein the process of the scratch treatment is cumbersome, and the seed of the sprout is small, possibly due to poor control of the force. On the contrary, the structure of the seed is destroyed, so that the seed can not germinate; the process of soaking the chemical agent is likely to cause damage to the seed, and the chemical agent after the immersion needs to be carefully disposed, otherwise the random discharge may easily cause environmental ecological impact.

Furthermore, in order to prevent the disease of the seed during the cultivation process, most of them are disinfected by soaking sodium hypochlorite. For example, Chinese Patent No. CN103416287 discloses a method for cultivating sprouts, which comprises: selecting and disinfecting the seeds of the sprouts. After that, it is treated by microwave, soaking and germination. Among them, the seed of the seedling is in the disinfection process by soaking 0.01% to 0.5% of sodium hypochlorite solution. Sodium hypochlorite is the main component of the bleaching agent. If the surface of the seed remains sodium hypochlorite It may be that the sprouts absorb residual sodium hypochlorite during the planting process, which may affect the safety and health of the edible sprouts.

In order to solve the above-mentioned many imperfect problems in cultivating sprouts, the present invention provides a method for cultivating sprouts and a planting device thereof, wherein the cultivation process uses heating to uniformly heat the sprout seeds to naturally generate cracks, so that the buds are not damaged. The growth structure of the vegetable seeds can also greatly improve the germination success rate of the sprout seeds, and the cultivation process does not use any chemical solution, and it is more safe and healthy in eating.
