Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a system for treating plant cuttings, comprising a carrier and a series of holders attached to said carrier, which holders are each designed for holding a plant cutting, said holders being attached to the carrier in such a manner that plant cuttings inserted into the holders extend substantially parallel to each other, and that the respective centres of each of the holders lie substantially in one and the same central plane.
  • a system is described in WO 00/52996. Said system makes it possible to transport plant cuttings on a relatively small surface area and to subject them to an initial treatment, for example in a climate chamber.
  • Cutting is a method of vegetative reproduction of plants for the purpose of obtaining genetically identical culture material.
  • Plant parts are cut from existing plants and, after being subjected to a treatment, cultivated to fully-grown plants.
  • the severed plant cuttings must be subjected to a precise temperature and humidity treatment so as to acquire sufficient roots to grow into fully fledged plants.
  • the severed plant cuttings are placed in culture material, for instance soil, sand or substrate, after which the thus prepared plant cuttings are subjected to a temperature and humidity treatment. This procedure has the drawback that the plant cuttings placed in culture material take up much space.
  • plant cuttings are usually taken in countries with a warm climate, after which they are transported to countries with a temperate climate where the plants are cultivated. Accordingly there is a need for holders for the plant cuttings in which the plant cuttings can be easily transported while taking up the least amount of space, for instance as air freight, and subsequently be cultivated into plants in as short a time as possible, using as few operations as possible and taking up as little space as possible .
  • the object of the invention is to realise a further improvement of the system.
  • the invention in particular aims at realising a further cost saving in the cultivation of plants, in particular chrysanthemums .
  • the system further comprises a watering device comprising at least one gutter in which the bottom sides of the plant cuttings can be placed, which gutter extends between a water supply side and a water discharge side, as well as a water inlet designed to supply water or on the water supply side and a water outlet designed to discharge water from the water discharge side.
  • a watering device comprising at least one gutter in which the bottom sides of the plant cuttings can be placed, which gutter extends between a water supply side and a water discharge side, as well as a water inlet designed to supply water or on the water supply side and a water outlet designed to discharge water from the water discharge side.
  • a water outlet is provided on the water discharge side of the watering device, and a water inlet is preferably provided on the water supply side of the watering device.
  • a water threshold is disposed between the water supply side and the water discharge side of the watering device, preferably near the water discharge side, and preferably also near the water supply side, which water threshold determines the water level in the gutter in use.
  • the gutter preferably has a width such that the bottom side of the carrier with the bottom sides of the plant cuttings present therein can be placed therein.
  • the gutter preferably has a narrowed portion near the bottom, the width of said narrow portion being such that the carrier does not fit therein, so that water can flow under the carrier.
  • the watering device preferably comprises a multitude of parallel gutters, the distance between the central axes of the gutters preferably being less than 5 cm, more preferably less than 3 cm.
  • the spacing between the holders on a carrier is preferably also less than 5 cm, more preferably less than 3 cm. In this way a large number of plant cuttings can be placed on a relatively small surface area for starting the root formation.
  • the water threshold is preferably located some distance from the ends of the gutters, such that water can flow freely between said gutter ends. This helps to realise a uniform water level in all the gutters .
  • At least that part of the watering device which comprises the gutters is made of a bent plate in the preferred embodiment.
  • the invention also relates to a watering device as described above .
  • the invention further relates to a method for treating plant cuttings, comprising:
  • the connecting of unrooted plant cuttings to a carrier such that the plant cuttings extend substantially parallel to each other, substantially in one and the same central plane, wherein the bottom sides of the plant cuttings are placed in at least one gutter of a watering device, which gutter extends between a water supply side and a water discharge side, wherein water is supplied on the water supply side and water is discharged from the water discharge side, such that the water in the gutter moistens the bottom sides of the plant cuttings.
  • the carrier with the plant cuttings is preferably removed from the gutter shortly after root formation on the plant cuttings can be discerned and the plant cuttings are subsequently removed from the carrier and placed in earth.
  • a carrier with the plant cuttings is placed in a gutter parallel to another carrier, maintaining a spacing between the plant cuttings in the various carriers of less than 5 cm, preferably less than 3 cm.
  • Figure 1 is a top plan view of a carrier in rolled-up condition, which is shown to comprise a series of clamping elements attached to the carrier;
  • Figure 2 shows part of a carrier in unrolled condition, showing two clamping elements attached to the carrier, in which plant cuttings are placed;
  • Figure 3 is a perspective view showing the end of watering device
  • Figure 4 is a sectional view according to the arrows IV of the end of the watering device
  • Figure 5 is a sectional view according to the arrow V of the end of the watering device; and Figure 6 shows a watering device in which the carriers with plant cuttings are placed.
  • Figure 1 shows a part of a rolled-up carrier 1, which is formed by a lower strip of material 2 and an upper strip of material 3 extending parallel thereto, and holders for plant cuttings in the form of clamping elements 13, which are attached thereto at regular intervals of about 29 mm.
  • the selection of the material is such that the strips 2, 3 of figure 1 are flexible to a certain extent, making it possible to roll them up.
  • the carriers 1 may also have a rigid linear shape.
  • the two strips 2, 3 are interconnected at the location of a clamping element 13 by two elements 4, 5, respectively, extending perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction of the steps of material 2, 3.
  • the two elements 4, 5 have a narrowed portion 6 near the location where they are attached to the two strips 2, 3.
  • the clamping elements are made up of two substantially semi-cylindrical elements 7, which are each attached to the bridge elements 4, 5, respectively, by means of two bridges 8.
  • the two semi-cylindrical elements 7, 8 are separated on both sides by gap 10 and 11, respectively.
  • a force towards each other of the semicylindrical elements 7, 8 is set up when said semi cylindrical elements are moved apart. This is also a question of dimensioning, however, and said force also depends on the selected type of material, in particular the properties of the plastic material in question. Inserting the plant cuttings 12 is facilitated by the presence of an upwardly converging part 14, 15, respectively, provided at the upper side of each of the semi-cylindrical elements 7, 8.
  • a kind of funnel is formed.
  • the strip 2 extends under the space between the semi-cylindrical elements 7, 8 to a certain extent, thus preventing plant cuttings 12 from falling through the bottom side.
  • the inner side of the semi-cylindrical elements 7, 8 may have a fairly random shape; it may have the shape of a circular cylinder, but it may also be slightly oval.
  • Figures 3, 4 and 5 show the end of a watering device, which comprises a substantially plate-shaped element comprising five parallel gutters 22, in which the carriers 1 with the plant cuttings 12 shown in figure 2 can be placed, as is shown in figure 6.
  • the width of a gutter 22 is about 13 mm and approximately the same, but just a little larger than the width of the carriers with the holders.
  • a narrowed portion 23 which is narrower than the width of the carriers 1 with the holders 13, viz. approximately 7 mm.
  • water can flow freely through the gutters 22 under the carriers 1 with the plant cuttings 12.
  • the height of the wide portion of the gutter is approximately 18 mm, and the height of the narrower portion 23 is 6 mm.
  • the distance between the central axes of the gutters is 29 mm.
  • the gutters 22 may have a length of 1 m, for example, but a much greater length is also possible, for example 20 m.
  • Present at the two ends of the gutters 22 is a water supply tank 24 and a water discharge tank 25, which are separated from the gutters 22 by water thresholds 26.
  • Present in the water supply tank 24 are inlets 27, which can be connected to a water supply pipe, whilst water outlets 28 are present in the water discharge tank, which water outlets can be connected to a discharge pipe.
  • the water thresholds 26 are spaced from the ends of the gutters, so that the water can flow freely in the space between the ends. In this way a uniform water level in all the gutters is ensured, which water level is the same as the height of the water thresholds 26.
