Description

Strawberry cultivation apparatus and strawberry cultivation method

The present invention relates to a strawberry cultivation apparatus and a strawberry cultivation method for growing strawberries.

In recent years, cultivation of strawberries in a plant factory has been realized, and further improvement of the cultivation has been demanded.

Specifically, when pollination work or harvesting work is performed manually, it is necessary to scrape the leaves of the strawberry seedlings and take out the flower buds, resulting in poor workability. Moreover, when a flower bud contacts a cultivation bed etc., there exists a possibility that a strawberry may be adversely affected in terms of hygiene and growth. *

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned matters, and an object thereof is to provide a strawberry cultivation apparatus and a strawberry cultivation method capable of improving workability for flower buds and improving a growth environment. is there.

In order to achieve the above object, a strawberry cultivation apparatus according to the present invention includes a cultivation bed having a planting part that can be implanted in a state where the strawberry seedling is hung sideways and downward, and the flower buds of the strawberry seedling hanging from the planting part. Or a lifting means for keeping either one of the leaves in a lifted state (Claim 1). *

The said strawberry cultivation apparatus WHEREIN: The said implantation part may be provided in the side wall of the hollow bed main body (Claim 2). *

On the other hand, in order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the strawberry cultivation method according to the present invention includes either one of a flower bud or a leaf of a strawberry seedling planted so as to hang down laterally and downward with respect to the planting part of the cultivation bed. The flower bud and the leaf are separated from each other by lifting (claim 3).

In this invention, the strawberry cultivation apparatus and strawberry cultivation method which can aim at the improvement of workability | operativity with respect to a flower bud and improvement of a growth environment are obtained. *

That is, in the invention which concerns on each claim of this application, since the strawberry seedling will be in the state which hung down sideways and downward from the planting part, it is difficult to contact the cultivation bed itself which has this planting part. Here, if the strawberry seedling comes into contact with the cultivation bed while growing, there is a risk of causing poor growth of the strawberry seedling as well as being unsanitary. However, in the present invention, these inconveniences are unlikely to occur. Rather, the flower buds of the strawberry seedling can be grown well in a non-contact state, and can be kept hygienic enough to be eaten without being washed after growth. It becomes. *

Further, in the invention according to each claim of the present application, since the buds and leaves of the strawberry seedling are kept in a separated state, it is necessary to scrape the leaves of the strawberry seedling and take out the flower buds during the pollination operation and the harvesting operation for the flower buds. Therefore, the workability can be improved.

It is explanatory drawing which shows roughly the structure of the strawberry cultivation apparatus which concerns on one embodiment of this invention. (A) It is a longitudinal cross-sectional view which shows schematically the structure of the principal part of the said strawberry cultivation apparatus, (B)-(D) is a longitudinal cross-sectional view which shows each schematically the structure of the modification of a principal part. . It is a perspective view which shows roughly the structure of the modification of the lifting means of the said strawberry growing apparatus.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. *

The strawberry cultivation method according to the present embodiment can be performed using the strawberry cultivation apparatus shown in FIG. This strawberry cultivation apparatus is provided, for example, in a completely closed plant factory provided with artificial lighting means and the like, and includes a cultivation bed 1 for hydroponics as shown in FIG. FIG. 1 shows a part of a rack that holds the cultivation beds 1 in a state where the cultivation beds 1 are stacked in upper and lower stages and two cultivation beds 1, and the racks are juxtaposed in a plurality of rows with a space for workers interposed therebetween. . *

The cultivation bed 1 has the implantation part 3 which can be implanted in the state which hung the strawberry seedling 2 sideways and below on the side surface. Thus, the strawberry seedling 2 that grows in a state of hanging from the planting part 3 is difficult to contact the cultivation bed 1. If the strawberry seedling 2 comes into contact with the cultivation bed 1 during the growth, it may not only be unsanitary but also cause poor growth of the strawberry seedling 2. However, in this embodiment, these inconveniences are unlikely to occur. Rather, the flower buds 2a of the strawberry seedling 2 can be grown well in a non-contact state and kept hygienic enough to be eaten without being washed after growth. It becomes possible. *

A plurality of planting parts 3 are provided in the cultivation bed 1, and on the front side of each planting part 3, lifting means for keeping either one of the flower buds 2 a or the leaves 2 b hanging down from the planting part 3 is suspended. 4 is arranged. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the lifting means 4 is a rope, and only the leaves 2b of the strawberry seedling 2 are kept in a lifted state. Thus, by setting the flower buds 2a and the leaves 2b of the strawberry seedling 2 apart from each other, it is necessary to scrape the leaves 2b of the strawberry seedling 2 and take out the flower buds 2a during pollination and harvesting operations on the flower buds 2a. Therefore, the workability can be improved. *

On the other hand, in order to promote the growth of the strawberry seedling 2 planted in the planting part 3, in the example shown in FIG. 1, a hose 7 is passed through the cultivation bed 1, and water or a culture solution is dropped from the hose 7. The strawberry seedling 2 is supplied by spraying or the like. *

Specifically, the cultivation bed 1 has a hollow bed body 8. The bed body 8 is made of, for example, a synthetic resin and is configured in a shape in which a long cylinder whose both ends are closed is laid sideways, and its longitudinal cross section has an isosceles trapezoidal shape with a lower bottom than an upper base, The side wall 9 constituting the isosceles trapezoidal leg is in an overhang shape (gradient is 90 degrees or more). And the bed main body 8 is comprised so that the water etc. which were supplied from the hose 7 and accumulated in the inside can be discharged | emitted suitably. *

A plurality of implantation parts 3 are provided in a horizontal row at intervals in the vertical center of each side wall 9 of the bed body 8. Each implantation part 3 includes a culture medium 10 and a container 11 that can accommodate and hold the culture medium 10. It consists of and. Here, the container 11 holds the culture medium 10 so as not to leak off, while the flower buds 2a and leaves 2b heading from the inside of the container 11 to the outside of the bed body 8 and the roots 2c heading into the bed body 8 It is configured to allow advancement and to allow water from the hose 7 disposed in the upper part of the bed body 8 to permeate into the container 11. Specifically, a plurality of holes are provided at appropriate positions. Have. In addition, the implantation part 3 may be comprised so that it can attach or detachably to the side wall 9, and may be provided in the side wall 9 integrally. Further, as the medium 10, for example, rock wool, urethane, coconut shell, peat moss or the like can be used. *

In addition, this invention is not limited to said embodiment at all, Of course, it can change and implement variously in the range which does not deviate from the summary of this invention. For example, the following modifications can be given. *

The strawberry cultivation apparatus of this invention may be arrange | positioned not only in a completely closed type plant factory but in a sunlight utilization type plant factory. *

In the example shown in FIG. 1, the implanted portions 3 are provided in a horizontal row with respect to the side wall 9, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and may be provided in a staggered manner, for example. *

In the example shown in FIG. 1, the implanted portion 3 is provided in a state of protruding sideways (outward) from the side wall 9 (see also FIG. 2A), but as shown in FIG. The growing surface 3 a formed on the front surface of the implanted portion 3 may be configured to be substantially flush with the outer surface of the side wall 9. Further, as shown in FIG. 2 (C), the side wall 9 may be configured to stand in a substantially vertical direction instead of an overhang shape, and the growth surface 3a is also overhanged as shown in FIG. 2 (D). You may comprise so that it may stand in a substantially vertical direction instead of a shape. In any case, the inclination angles θ1 and θ2 of the side wall 9 and the growing surface 3a (FIG. 2) so that the strawberry seedlings 2 hanging from the growing surface 3a of the planting part 3 laterally and downward do not contact the cultivation bed 1. (See (A)) and the amount of protrusion of the growth surface 3a from the side wall 9 may be adjusted. *

In the example shown in FIG. 1, the lifting means 4 is provided at a height position similar to that of the implanted portion 3 at a position away from the implanted portion 3 on the front side thereof. As long as the flower buds 2a and the leaves 2b of the strawberry seedling 2 can be separated from each other, the lifting means 4 may be located above or below the planting part 3 as long as this is the case. *

In the example shown in FIG. 1, the lifting means 4 is a rope. However, the lifting means 4 is not limited to this. For example, the lifting means 4 may be composed of another wire (string) body such as a wire, or a series of nets, sheets, and shelves. It can also be configured. In any case, the lifting means 4 may be attached to the rack, the cultivation bed 1 or the like, or may be attached to an appropriate part around the rack. Further, the lifting means 4 may be configured not to simply lift the leaves 2b, but to collect the lifted leaves 2b. As such lifting means 4, for example, a portion for lifting the leaves 2b is C-shaped. Alternatively, a hook formed in a ring shape can be used. *

Furthermore, when the lifting means 4 is a linear body, a plurality of partition members 12 may be provided on the linear body at appropriate intervals as shown in FIG. Moreover, the partition member 12 can be similarly provided also when the lifting means 4 is configured by other than a linear body. And when the lifting means 4 has the partition member 12, when the leaves 2 b extending from the respective planting parts 3 are lifted by the lifting means 4 (and gathered together in a lifted state), the state is partitioned by one or a plurality of partition members 12. The partition member 12 may be used to separate the flower bud 2a from the leaf 2b by lifting the flower bud 2a in addition to the leaf 2b by the lifting means 4. In any case, if the partition member 12 is highly light-reflective, a part of the light directed toward the partition member 12 is reflected by the leaves 2b, so an improvement in light irradiation performance and energy saving is expected. be able to. *

In the example shown in FIG. 1, the hose 7 is passed through the cultivation bed 1 in order to sprinkle water or the like. For example, instead of the flexible hose 7, a metal pipe having no flexibility may be used. Alternatively, the bed main body 8 may incorporate a portion (water channel) corresponding to the hose 7. *

In the example shown in FIG. 1, the bed main body 8 is placed on each shelf (beam) of the rack. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the bed main body 8 is suspended and held by each rack (beam) or column of the rack. You may comprise. Moreover, in the example shown in FIG. 1, although the pillar of a rack is provided in the position which pinches | interposes the cultivation bed 1 laminated | stacked on the upper and lower multistage from the width direction both sides, it is not restricted to this, For example, the cultivation bed 1 is the length. It may be provided at a position sandwiched from both sides in the vertical direction, and in this case, the rack pillar does not exist at a position that obstructs the work on the strawberry seedling 2, so that workability can be improved. *

Needless to say, the above modifications may be combined as appropriate.
