Description

      The present invention relates to a growth management cover capable of efficiently germinating and growing a plant.

      The current agriculture is in a critical situation such as aging of workers, difficulty in succession, low profitability, and abolition of tariffs on imports of agricultural products. Among them, an industrialization concept with a view to farming management has been proposed with an eye on future agriculture. To this end, it is important to increase the added value of agricultural products cultivated by each farmer, and to improve profitability and workability using equipment and equipment, and to create attractiveness as an agricultural business based on the results. In the past, large-scale businesses have been industrialized, such as mechanization from soil making to sowing to harvesting, but small and medium-sized farmers still rely on manual labor. is there. In particular, the seedling stage requires a lot of labor and manpower to manage irrigation, weeding, illness, etc., and the cost is large. Therefore, as shown in Patent Documents 1 to 3, various techniques have been proposed for preventing weed growth and improving water retention, preventing pest entry, and keeping warm (hereinafter referred to as multi-effect). However, these technologies are merely considered to satisfy the function as a multi-sheet, and no further effect can be expected (Patent Document 1), and the structure is complicated and difficult to clean and difficult to reuse ( There is room for improvement in practical use such as Patent Document 2) and additional work such as construction of water retaining material is required (Patent Document 3).

      The present invention is mainly capable of effectively and efficiently performing irrigation, fertilization and root suppression in addition to the multi-effect in the prior art mainly from the seedling stage to the middle seedling stage. This is a plant growth management cover (hereinafter referred to as a growth management cover) that functions for herbicidal, moisture / fertilization / pest management, heat insulation, root control, reduces labor in plant cultivation and eliminates skill in work, and contributes to cost reduction in agricultural management. Is to provide).

      The present invention is an integral cover composed of an outer peripheral wall portion, an inner peripheral wall portion, and a top plate portion that spans both peripheral wall portions, and is inclined so that the top plate portion becomes lower toward the inner peripheral wall portion. The growth management cover is characterized in that the end of the inner peripheral wall is located inside the end of the outer peripheral wall, and the corner formed by the top plate and the inner peripheral wall forms a curved surface. In this way, the top plate portion has an inclined structure toward the inner peripheral wall portion, so that irrigated water, liquid fertilizer, and the like flow so as to pour toward a substantially central hole. Moisture and fertilizer are effectively applied in the vicinity of the roots of the seedlings to be sprouting and sown in the hole at the center of the growth management cover that is installed so that the convex part is covered with the vegetation medium such as soil. Will be. In addition, the retained heat should not be stored more than necessary so that the moisture and fertilizer supplied can be easily diffused into the vegetation medium by placing the inner peripheral wall end closer to the inner end than the outer peripheral wall end. ing. In addition, the vicinity of the joint between the inner peripheral wall and the top plate is a curved surface so that the irrigated water and fertilizer can reach the root where the cultivated water is smoothly cultivated. Thus, moisture and fertilizer can be gently supplied to the seeds of plants and the roots of seedlings. In addition, the presence of the outer peripheral wall reduces the invasion of pests, the top plate prevents mingling of weed seeds from the top as a mulching material, and covers the root part so as to partition the root part, thereby suppressing the unnecessary elongation of the root and storing heat. The dissipation of heat to the outside world can be reduced.

      Further, the outer peripheral wall portion is inclined in the inner peripheral direction toward the top plate portion, the inner peripheral wall portion is inclined in the outer peripheral direction toward the top plate portion, and the inclination angle is in the range of 4 to 6 degrees. In some cases, the insertion into the cultivation medium and the medium in the cover are not excessively compressed and are extremely suitable with good balance. And the distribution | circulation of the air of the cultivation medium after installation also becomes moderate for plant cultivation. Moreover, the effect which makes it easy to perform the washing | cleaning operation | work for reuse by making each corner part of the said cover into a curved surface is acquired. In addition, the outer peripheral wall has an effect of preventing the invasion of weeds from the outside of the plant being cultivated and insects that propagate disease, which is not found in a general mulching sheet.

      The inclination angle of the top plate is preferably 8 to 12 degrees. At such an angle, by placing solid fertilizer or granular fertilizer at a key point on the top plate, it becomes possible to gradually fertilize the fertilizer component by gradual flow by irrigation.

      The material is preferably an opaque synthetic resin, combined with adjusting the heat absorption by changing the degree of light energy absorption by changing the color and degree of coloring, and surrounding the root. The rise of the earth temperature and the heat retention performance will be obtained more than the same as the multi-material.

      In this way, by using the breeding management cover of the present invention, it is efficient and effective around the seeds or roots at the time of sowing, germination, and almost no seed or seedling movement due to irrigation from seedling to middle seedling. It can be irrigated and fertilized, and is cost-effective and environmentally friendly, such as being removed, washed and reused or recycled after work is completed. In particular, during fertilization, it is possible to infiltrate the necessary parts of the root so as to diffuse the nutrients. The cover is installed so as to be inserted into the cultivation medium, seeded in the vicinity of the center, and then all that is required is irrigation, fertilization, and environmental conditions. Can be done. And since weeding work can be almost omitted, root pain after germination can be drastically reduced, and production efficiency as a seedling can be expected to be dramatically increased to 80% or more. From the manufacturing side, general synthetic resins and their recycled products can be used, and the structure is simple. Therefore, the manufacturing cost can be kept low, and it is easy for small-scale farmers who are users.

It is a perspective view of the cultivation management cover of the present invention. It is the front view and sectional drawing of the cultivation management cover of this invention. It is the state figure which installed the cultivation management cover of this invention in the cultivation medium, and imitated the growth process.

      Specific embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In addition, this invention is not limited to this Example. FIG. 1 shows a regular quadrangular growth management cover. The outer shape is not limited to a regular rectangle, but may be a shape matched to pots such as a growing pod or a planter used in combination, but when used for house culture or outdoor cultivation, a rectangle is preferable from the standpoint of positioning. There is a hole in the center so that seeding and seedlings and plants can grow, and there is an inner peripheral wall 3 that forms this hole, and the position of this end is 3 mm to 7 mm inward from the end of the outer peripheral wall 2. I have to.

      As shown in FIG. 2, the top plate 4 forming the growth management cover has a negative gradient from the outer peripheral wall portion 2 toward the inner peripheral wall portion 3, and a portion formed by the top plate portion 4 and the inner peripheral wall portion 3 is In particular, when the gradient is uniformly 8 to 12 degrees, the effect of the curved surface shape is added, the water flow during irrigation becomes gentle, and the erosion of the root part of the plant can be minimized. In addition, when fertilizer is placed around the top plate, the water flow is gentle, so the ingredients gradually melt and the effect of fertilization can be maintained, leading to saving of fertilizer.

      In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, the outer peripheral wall 2 and the inner peripheral wall 3 are inclined in the direction of the top plate so that it is easy to control the degree of insertion when inserted into the cultivation medium, and a synthetic resin material having elasticity, etc. In this case, the restoring force creates a fine gap between the medium and the effect of improving the circulation of air and the like. In particular, the inclination is preferably in the range of 4 to 6 degrees. This outer peripheral wall serves as a barrier to prevent weeds with stalks, worms and root-cutting insects that transmit diseases and damage plants, and have a great protection effect at the time of seedlings.

      All corners of the breeding management cover are formed with curved surfaces. This is to prevent small animals such as weasels and rats from peeling off the cover and harming the plant, and to facilitate and facilitate operations such as washing and sterilization during reuse. The radius of these curved portions is preferably 5 to 15R.

      The material for the growth management cover is preferably an opaque synthetic resin. Metals, compressed paper, biodegradable resins, etc. can be used, but they are inferior in terms of manufacturing cost and reuse. A transparent material is not preferable because the mulching effect is small and light can be transmitted and received, which may promote the growth of weeds.

      The cultivation management cover can be used by putting a cultivation medium in a cultivation container such as a pod, a pot, or a planter, and directly inserting or covering the cultivation medium. By using it in this way, in addition to efficient and effective irrigation and fertilization, there is no occurrence of weeds and the like, leading to an increase in fertilizer effect without taking up fertilizer.

      The following shows an example in which asters were grown in pots in Oita Prefecture from autumn to winter in a greenhouse using the breeding management cover. As shown in FIG. 3, a black opaque polypropylene cover was placed almost flat on the cultivated culture medium so that it was inserted with a slight force, and seeds were sown and germinated in the center of the hole. Water and environmental management until germination at this time were carried out in the same manner as usual methods. The seedlings were grown for a week until germination and true leaves were completed, but weeds were very few and the seedling growth rate was 80% or more for 3 beds of 2000 units. After about 90 days, the seedlings were grown to medium seedlings. However, weeding and root pain caused by weeding were not observed inside the hole that touched the outside air of the growth management cover, that is, around the root of the plant, along with moderate running water effect. There was almost no damage to the plant due to pest damage. In addition, irrigation was performed by spraying a small hole in the main part of the vinyl chloride pipe as appropriate.

      After germination, continue the growth management for about 4 months, ship the flower part, remove the root part of the aster with the growth management cover, pull out the cover, wash it, sterilize it, store it for reuse after air drying, It could be used without any problem when reusing. Thus, by using this protection management cover in aster cultivation, frost was not hit even in the period from early spring to summer, and flowers could be grown and shipped without heating equipment.

      Below, the example which installed by the open field cultivation similarly to Example 1, sown and cultivated was shown. Despite heavy rain, it showed the same growth as normal outdoor cultivation, and the seedling growth rate was 65% or more, which was better than normal outdoor cultivation. In addition, supplementation was easy by seeding again at the position disappeared due to poor germination or environmental conditions. In addition, although the generation of weeds was slightly higher than that in house cultivation, it was not a significant workload. In addition, although the period until the flower part was able to be harvested was longer than that of house cultivation, it seemed that there was an effect of increasing the soil temperature at the time of seedling by multi-effect one to two weeks earlier than normal outdoor cultivation. In addition, almost no pest damage was seen, and the cover could be used as a mark for planting, which was useful for quantity control.
