DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

The planting panel 1 of this embodiment is formed of, for example, expanded polystyrene, and has a plurality of openings for mounting a cultivated cage for holding and growing plants as shown in the plan view of FIG. 3 ... Further, the planting panel 1 has the same number of lower protrusions 5 ... As the openings 3 ...

The openings 3 ... Have a fixed pitch and the planting panel 1
Are arranged in. The lower protrusions 5 are arranged on the planting panel 1 at the same pitch as the openings 3, and when the planting panel 1 is rotated 180 degrees in the plane, the position of the lower protrusions 5 is the opening before rotation. It is arranged so as to match the position of the portion 3. On the surface of the planting panel 1 just above each lower protrusion 5, ..., Recesses 11 for accumulating water at the time of watering are provided.

An enlarged view of the opening 3 is shown in FIG. In addition, a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA of the opening 3 in FIG. 2 is shown in FIG.
Line sectional views are shown in FIG. 4, respectively.

As shown in FIG. 3, the opening 3 penetrates from the front surface to the back surface of the planting panel 1, and the root of the cultivated product held by the cultivated product holder passes through the opening 3 and becomes a culture solution. To reach.

The upper part of the opening 3 is the planting panel 1.
Although it is formed so as to be perpendicular to the front surface of the planting panel 1, the lower portion 6 of the opening 3 is formed so as to widen toward the back surface of the planting panel 1.

Further, the opening 3 is provided with holding portions 4 for holding the cultivation holders at both ends in the longitudinal direction.
As shown in FIG. 4, the holding portion 4 includes a bottom surface portion 8 that comes into contact with the bottom portion of the cultivated product holder and side surface portions 7 and 7 that come into contact with side surface portions of the cultivated product holder.

On the surface of the planting panel 1, water accumulated on the surface of the planting panel 1 due to water sprinkling after seeding or the like is used for the opening 3
The upper protrusion 2 is provided on the outer edge of the opening 3 in order to prevent it from flowing into the above-mentioned cultivation holder from around.
Further, as described above, the same number of recesses 11 as the openings 3 are provided on the surface of the planting panel 1.

On the other hand, the rear surface of the planting panel 1 is provided with the same number of lower protrusions 5 (FIG. 2) as the openings 3 as described above. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, when the planting panels 1 are rotated by 180 degrees and alternately stacked, the lower protrusions 5 are loosely fitted in the openings 3, and the lower protrusions 5 are A gap 10 slightly larger than the diameter of the seed between the bottom of the plant and the cultivator holder 9 assembled in the opening 3.
The heights of the upper protrusion 2 and the lower protrusion 5 are set so that the

In the above structure, when hydroponics is carried out,
First, the cultivation holder 9 (FIG. 5) made of a water-retaining material such as non-woven fabric is attached to the opening 3 of the planting panel 1. That is, by fitting the cultivated product holder 9 into the opening 3, the cultivated product holder 9 is held by the side surface portion 7 (FIG. 4) and the bottom surface portion 8 of the holding portion 4.

In this way, the seedling holder 9 set on the planting panel 1 is seeded. Then, water is sprinkled to cause germination. At the time of watering, the culture holder 9 absorbs the water necessary for germination, and the recess 1 on the surface of the planting panel 1
Water collects in 1. Further, although excess water is scattered on the planting panel 1, this water is dammed by the upper protrusion 2 provided on the outer edge of the opening 3, and the water to the cultivated cage 9 assembled in the opening 3 is blocked. Is prevented from flowing. For this reason,
It is possible to prevent the seeds from becoming excessively humid due to excessive inflow water and to prevent the seeds sown from being moved to a position other than a predetermined position, thereby improving the germination rate.

After watering, as shown in FIG. 5, the planting panel 1
Are rotated 180 degrees and stacked alternately. As a result, the lower projection 5 of the other planting panel 1 is fitted into the opening 3 of the one planting panel 1. Further, the recess 11 of the other planting panel 1 is located directly below the opening 3 of the one planting panel 1. Then, the stacked planting panels 1 ... Are placed under appropriate temperature and humidity conditions to promote germination. At this time, since a gap 10 slightly larger than the diameter of the seed is formed between the bottom of the lower protrusion 5 and the cultivated product holder 9 assembled in the opening 3, the lower protrusion 5 is It acts as a cover soil substitute. That is, since the seeds sown in the cultivated product holder 9 assembled in the opening 3 are prevented from moving by the lower protrusions 5, migration of the seeds due to reaction of the growing root during germination is prevented,
Floating roots are less likely to occur.

When the planting panels 1 are stacked, the upper projections 2 are provided on the outer edges of the openings 3 as described above, so that the cultivation planted on the surface of one planting panel 1 and the other planting panel 1 is cultivated. A larger gap is created between the object holder 9 and the object holder 9. Therefore, during germination, the grown roots are less likely to hit the surface of the lower planting panel 1, and are less likely to be damaged by the stacking of the planting panels 1.

After germination, when the roots grow to some extent and enter the culture holder 9, the seeds are sufficiently held in the culture holder 9 and become immobile. When the root grows further below the culture holder 9, the recess 11 of another planting panel 1 is located directly below the opening 3, so that the root can absorb the water accumulated in the recess 11. As a result, the root growth points do not become necrotic due to desiccation, and the germination rate is further improved.

In this state, when the seedlings are continuously grown and the seedlings grow to an appropriate size, the planting panels 1 are floated one by one on the culture solution. Then, the cultivated product absorbs nutrients from the culture solution and grows.

When the planting panel 1 is floated on the culture solution, the cultivation holder 9 is replaced for the roots whose growth is poor. At this time, in the planting panel 1 of the present embodiment, the lower portion 6 of the opening 3 was formed so as to widen toward the back surface of the planting panel 1, so that by pushing with a finger from the back surface, the poorly growing seedlings are held. The existing cultivated product holder 9 can be easily taken out, and replacement of the cultivated product holder 9 becomes extremely easy.

Further, even at the time of harvesting, since the lower portion 6 of the opening 3 is made wide, the planting panel 1 can be easily handled by putting a finger on it, and the planting panel 1 can be easily transported. become.

Further, also in the cleaning of the planting panel 1 after harvesting, since the lower portion 6 of the opening 3 is made wide, the opening 3 can be easily cleaned from the back surface by using a brush or a shower. In particular, the vicinity of the lower portion 6 of the opening 3 where blue algae and other algae are likely to be generated can be washed very easily because it is close to the culture liquid surface.

Further, since the lower protrusion 5 is provided as described above, if the planting panels 1 are stacked in the same direction without rotating after cleaning as shown in FIG.
Functions as a spacer for providing a gap between the planting panels 1 and 1. Thereby, the planting panel 1 can be easily dried.

Furthermore, since the planting panels 1 can be disinfected in a state of being stacked in the same direction, the disinfection work is simplified.

In this embodiment, the recesses 11 for accumulating water at the time of water sprinkling are provided on the surface of the planting panel 1 just above the lower protrusions 5 ... However, the recesses 11 are not always required. It does not need to be right above each lower protrusion 5, ..., and it is sufficient if the root is provided at a position where it can absorb water when it grows below the cultivation holder 9.
