[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a seedling pot for a nursery box, wherein a lattice-shaped seedling pot forming frame body is formed in which a plurality of seedling pots for transplanting straw seedlings are vertically and horizontally aligned. The present invention relates to a mat seedling growth container for strawberries, which is formed by mounting a bottom frame of the forming frame and a bottom surface of the nursery box with a gap for root entanglement.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a seedling pot forming frame in a mat seedling growing container for strawberries as described above has been disclosed in, for example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No.
As disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 101-101, it is formed to allow transplantation of strawberries seedlings to all of a plurality of seedling pots partitioned and formed in a matrix aligned vertically and horizontally. When growing mat-like seedlings for strawberries using the seedlings, since the strawberries seedlings are transplanted into all of these seedling pots, the mat-like seedlings grown using this seedling pot forming frame are , Multiple pot seedlings were arranged vertically and horizontally at regular intervals.

[0003]

However, the current strawberry plant transplanter has a mat-type seedling that is predetermined when the mat-type seedlings placed on the seedling placing table have been laterally fed to complete a row of rows. Unlike rice transplanters, which are configured to perform vertical feeding only at a pitch, and to laterally feed one row of mat-shaped seedlings in order from the seedlings located at the outermost end of the next row, The mat-shaped seedlings are vertically fed and horizontally fed at a predetermined pitch as the horizontal one row planting is completed by the lateral feeding of the mat-shaped seedlings placed on the table. Since the seedlings are arranged in a horizontal row in order from the seedlings located in the second order by lateral feeding of the seedlings, the mattings grown using the seedling pot forming frame of the above-mentioned prior art Seedling (vertical with multiple pot seedlings at regular intervals When matted seedlings aligned with each other are used, each time one row of horizontal rows is planted and the next row is planted, it is positioned first from the lateral end on the planting start side of each row. Strawberry seedlings were left behind, and due to the leftover strawberries seedlings, the vertical feed after the completion of the planting of one horizontal row was insufficient, causing problems such as missing plants.

An object of the present invention is to provide a mat seedling growth container for strawberries, which can easily grow mat-like seedlings suitable for the planting operation of the existing straw planter.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, in the invention according to claim 1 of the present invention, a grid in which a plurality of seedling pots for transplanting straw seedlings are partitioned and formed in a state of being aligned vertically and horizontally. The seedling pot forming frame of the shape, for the nursery box,
While being mounted in a state where there is a gap for root entanglement between the lower end of the seedling pot forming frame and the bottom surface of the seedling raising box, in the seedling pot groups located on the left and right end rows of the seedling pot forming frame, A mat seedling growth container for strawberries, comprising blocking members for preventing transplantation of strawberries into a seedling pot, which are arranged in a staggered pattern in every other row.

[Operation] According to the invention described in claim 1, since there is a root-entanglement gap between the lower end of the seedling pot forming frame and the bottom surface of the nursery box, the soil is filled in the gap. By doing so, it is possible to cause the root entanglement between the strawberries seedlings transplanted to the adjacent seedling pots to be sufficiently performed in the gap for the rooting entanglement, and thus, the strawberries seedlings can only withstand the transfer during seedling supply. It becomes possible to grow mat-like seedlings with sufficient strength.

Further, among the seedling pot groups located on the left and right end rows of the seedling pot forming frame, the seedling pots which are staggered with respect to every other row are equipped with a blocking member to prevent them from appearing. Since the transplantation of straw grass seedlings cannot be performed, the mat-like seedlings grown using this seedling pot forming frame are staggered with the pot seedlings located on the left and right end rows of each row being placed in each row. It will be in a state of being located in a shape. That is, as the matting seedlings placed on the seedling mounting table have been planted horizontally for one horizontal row, the matting seedlings are vertically fed at a predetermined pitch and laterally fed. Grow a mat-like seedling suitable for the planting operation of the current strawberry transplanter, which is configured to plant laterally one row of mat-like seedlings in order from the second seedling from the outer edge. Is able to. And by using the mat-like seedlings grown in this way,
After using the mat-shaped seedlings grown so that the pot seedlings located on the left and right end rows are aligned at the same pitch as the pot seedlings in the other rows, the horizontal feeding of one horizontal row is completed and the next Each time a row is planted, there is an inconvenience that the row feed after the end of planting for one row becomes insufficient due to the strawberry seedling located first from the lateral end on the planting start side in each row. It is possible to avoid this, and thus it is possible to prevent inconveniences such as stock stalls from occurring due to defective vertical feeding due to the leftover strawberries.

By the way, for the seedling pot groups located in the left and right end rows without providing the seedling pot forming frame with the blocking member,
It is also possible to transplant the strawberries in such a manner that they are placed in a staggered pattern in every other row, but in this case, the seedling pots that should not be transplanted are not provided because no blocking member is provided. Since there is a risk of accidentally transplanting strawberries, seedlings will require a great deal of attention during transplantation work, resulting in a decrease in work efficiency. In contrast,
In the invention according to claim 1, there is no risk of accidentally transplanting the strawberries in a seedling pot that should not be transplanted, and the transplanting work can be performed quickly and easily by that much, so the work efficiency during the transplanting work Can be improved.

[Effects] Accordingly, sufficient root entanglement in the gap for root entanglement provides sufficient strength to withstand transfer at the time of seedling supply, is easy to handle, and is also planted by a strawberry transplanter. Sometimes, it is possible to grow a mat-like seedling that can prevent the occurrence of inconveniences such as missing strains due to the leftover strawberries in the first position from the lateral end on the planting start side in each row. , Providing a mat seedling growth container for strawberries that can improve the work efficiency of the transplanting work of straw seedlings into each seedling pot of the seedling pot forming frame in the pretreatment work for growing the mat-like seedlings I can do it now.

In the invention according to claim 2 of the present invention,
In the invention described in claim 1, the blocking member is formed so as to allow passage of the covering soil.

[Operation] According to the invention described in claim 2, at the time of supplying the soil covering after transplanting the strawberries seedlings into the seedling pots of the seedling pot forming frame, the seedling pots equipped with the blocking member are also covered with the soil. As a result, the amount of soil in those seedling pot portions increases, and the amount of entanglement between the seedling roots can be increased, so that the shape of the mat-like seedling can be easily adjusted. That is, if the blocking member is formed so as to block the passage of the covering soil, the mat-shaped seedlings grown by using the seedling pot forming frame equipped with such a blocking member are equipped with the blocking member. No cover soil is supplied to the seedling pots that have been planted, and the amount of soil in those seedling pots is reduced and the amount of root entanglement between seedling roots is reduced, so when transferring seedlings, for example, Although the soil tends to collapse from the seedling pot portions to cause cracks, the invention according to claim 2 can avoid such inconveniences.

[Effect] Therefore, during transfer at the time of supplying seedlings, it is possible to avoid the generation of cracks from the seedling pot portion where the strawberries are not transplanted, and it is possible to grow mat-like seedlings that are more manageable. It is now possible to provide a mat seedling growth container for strawberries.

According to the invention of claim 3 of the present invention,
In the invention according to claim 1 or 2, the blocking member is configured to be detachable from the seedling pot forming frame.

[Operation] According to the invention described in claim 3, regardless of whether or not the blocking member allows passage of the cover soil, the cover soil after transplanting the strawberries seedlings into each seedling pot of the seedling pot forming frame body At the time of supply, by removing each blocking member from the seedling pot forming frame, it is possible to supply soil to the seedling pots to which the blocking member was attached, and to supply soil to these seedling pots. As compared with the case where the blocking member allows passage of the cover soil, it is easier to carry out, so that the soil amount in those seedling pot portions becomes larger and the root entanglement amount between seedling roots also becomes larger, so that a mat-like shape is obtained. The shape as a seedling becomes easier to arrange. That is, it becomes possible to grow mat-like seedlings that can more effectively avoid the inconvenience of cracking and cracking of the soil from the seedling pot portion to which the strawberries seedlings have not been transplanted at the time of transferring the seedlings.

[Effects] Therefore, a mat-like seedling that is more excellent in handleability and that can more effectively avoid the occurrence of cracks from the seedling pot portion to which the strawberries seedlings have not been transplanted during transfer during seedling supply. It has become possible to provide a mat seedling growth container for strawberries that can be grown.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the structure of a mat seedling growing container for strawberries. This mat seedling growing container has a bottom surface 1 in which a plurality of drainage holes 1a are vertically and horizontally aligned. The seedling raising box A for use and two seedling pot forming frames B which are internally fitted and mounted in the seedling raising regions formed in the seedling raising box A in front and rear directions. Each seedling pot forming frame B has a rectangular outer peripheral wall 2 and a plurality of partitions for partitioning and forming a plurality of seedling pots a into which the strawberries seedlings divided into plants are transplanted in the outer peripheral wall 2. It is a resin molded product in which the wall 3 and the wall 3 are integrally molded. By the way, when the seedling pot forming frame B is formed in a size that covers the entire seedling raising area of the seedling raising box A, there is a disadvantage that distortion is likely to occur during forming, but in the present embodiment, seedling raising is performed. By molding the seedling pot forming frame B into a size that divides the seedling-growing region of the box A into two parts, it is possible to avoid distortion during molding.

The structure of the seedling pot forming frame B will be described in detail. As shown in FIGS.
The grips 4 are extended from the left and right upper end portions of the outer peripheral wall 2 toward the left and right outer sides, and when the grips 4 are fitted in the seedling raising box A, each grip 4 contacts the upper edge of the seedling raising box A. By hitting, the amount of insertion into the nursery box A is regulated. The outer peripheral wall 2 and each partition wall 3 in the seedling pot forming frame B have a vertical length of about half the depth of the seedling raising box A, and the seedling pot forming frame B is placed in the seedling raising box A. In the mounted state, the lower end 2a of the outer peripheral wall 2 is set to be positioned higher than the lower end 3a of each partition wall 3. Further, in each partition wall 3, the lower end 3aa of both end portions 3A, which is the length of one seedling pot a from the joint point with the outer peripheral wall 2, and the lower end 3ab of the central portion 3B other than the both end portions 3A, and the outer peripheral wall 2. Is formed so as to be inclined in a state of connecting to the lower end 2a of the.

That is, when the seedling pot forming frame B is attached to the seedling raising box A, the respective lower ends 2a and 3a of the outer peripheral wall 2 and the partition wall 3 which are the lower ends of the seedling pot forming frame B and the seedling raising box A. A space S for root entanglement is formed between the bottom surface 1 and the ground S is filled in the space S to prevent the root entanglement between the strawberries and the seedlings transplanted to the adjacent seedling pots a. It can be sufficiently performed in the space S for rooting, so that the strawberries can be grown into mat-like seedlings having sufficient strength to withstand the transfer during seedling supply. Has become. Moreover, the clearance S for root entanglement is larger on the outer peripheral side than on the central side in the seedling pot forming frame B, whereby the soil pool on the outer peripheral side can be made larger than on the central side. Therefore, it is possible to improve the rooting of the strawberries seedlings transplanted to the seedling pot a on the outer peripheral side as compared with the seedling pots a transplanted to the seedling pot a on the central portion side, and the amount of entanglement between those strawberries seedlings. Therefore, it is possible to grow mat-like seedlings having excellent shape-retaining property and good handleability by further increasing the strength of the outer peripheral portion. As a result, when the grown mat-shaped seedlings are taken out of the seedling raising box 1 and transferred to a seedling mounting table (not shown) of the transplanter, the four corners of the mat-shaped seedlings hang down and collapse from the surroundings. Can be suppressed. Moreover, since the central part of the mat-like seedling has less root entanglement than the outer peripheral part, cutting out a single plant of strawberries with a planting claw (not shown) when planting with a transplanter etc. Can be done smoothly.

By the way, when growing mat-like seedlings in the above-mentioned mat seedling-growing vessel, as a pretreatment work,
Supplying a certain depth of bed soil to the nursery box A, mounting each seedling pot forming frame body B to the nursery box A in a front-rear state with a gap S for entanglement, of the seedling pot forming frame body B The transplantation of the straw-plant seedlings divided into individual seedling pots a and the soil covering for the seedling roots of the straw-plant seedlings transplanted to each seedling pot a are performed in that order.

By performing the above-mentioned pretreatment work in this procedure, the bottom surface 1 of the seedling raising box A and the seedling pot forming frame B are formed.
Gap S formed between the lower ends 2a and 3a of the
On the other hand, the bed soil can be supplied in advance at the stage before the seedling pot forming frame B is attached to the seedling raising box A, whereby the ground soil can be sufficiently filled in the gap S for root entanglement. As a result, it is possible to sufficiently carry out root entanglement between the strawberries and seedlings in the space S for root entanglement.
It becomes possible to grow a mat-shaped seedling having a sufficient strength to withstand the transfer during seedling supply. In addition, when transplanting the mulberry seedlings into the respective seedling pots a of the seedling pot forming frame B, since the seedling pots a are not filled with soil, the mulberry seedlings are transplanted into the respective seedling pots a. Will be easier to do. Further, since the seedling pot forming frame B has a lattice shape, each seedling pot a has a rectangular shape in a plan view, and thus when each seedling pot a is formed to have a circular shape in a plan view. In comparison, each seedling pot a after transplanting seedlings can be easily filled with cover soil, so that the posture of the strawberries seedlings after transplantation can be stabilized and the growth of the strawberries seedlings can be promoted. become able to. That is, the mat-shaped seedlings having sufficient root-entanglement between the strawberries and seedlings in the gap S for root-entanglement and excellent in shape retention and easy to handle can be easily grown.

In the group of seedling pots a, which are located in the left and right rows of the seedling pot forming frame B, blocking members 5 for blocking the transplantation of the strawberries into the seedling pot a are arranged in a staggered pattern in every other row. When the mat-shaped seedlings are grown by using this seedling pot forming frame B, the mat-shaped seedlings are staggered in such a manner that the pot seedlings located on the left and right end rows of the mat-shaped seedlings are placed in each row. It will be in a state of being located in a shape. In other words, by using this seedling pot forming frame B,
As shown in FIG. 7, the mat-shaped seedlings placed on the seedling placing table 6 have been laterally fed to complete the horizontal row planting (see (a) in FIG. 7).
The vertical feeding and the lateral feeding of the mat-like seedlings are performed at a predetermined pitch in accordance with the above), and a lateral single row is obtained by laterally feeding the mat-like seedlings in order from the second outermost end seedling stock It is possible to grow mat-like seedlings suitable for the planting operation of the current strawberry planting machine configured to plant the seeds (see (b) of FIG. 7). And
By using the mat-like seedlings grown in this way, the mat-like seedlings grown so that the pot seedling groups located in the left and right end rows are aligned at the same pitch as the pot seedling groups in the other rows. With the use of the strawberries seedlings located first from the lateral end on the planting start side in each row, which is left when the horizontal row is planted for one row and the next row is planted It is possible to avoid the inconvenience that the vertical feed becomes insufficient after the planting of one horizontal row is completed, and thus it is possible to prevent inconveniences such as stock stalls due to the poor vertical feed due to the leftover strawberries. You can do it. In addition, as shown in (a) of FIG. 7, the seedling pot portion located at the first position from the outermost end remains during the vertical feeding after the end of planting one horizontal row. Since there are no seedlings in the pot, it is destroyed by the pressure during vertical feeding. In FIG. 7, reference numeral 7 is a seedling take-out port, and reference numeral 8 is a planting claw.

By the way, without providing the blocking member 5 to the seedling pot forming frame B, the strawberries are placed in staggered form with respect to the group of seedling pots a located in the left and right ends of the seedling pots. Although it may be transplanted so that it will be in a state, in this case, since the blocking member 5 is not provided, there is a risk that the strawberries may be accidentally transplanted into the seedling pot a that should not be transplanted. However, the work efficiency becomes low because it requires a great deal of attention during the porting work. That is, when the seedling pot forming frame B shown in the present embodiment is used, there is no risk of accidentally transplanting a strawberries seedling into a seedling pot a that should not be transplanted, and the transplanting work can be performed quickly and easily. Therefore, it is possible to improve the work efficiency at the time of transplantation work.

The blocking member 5 is a cross-shaped member which is integrally formed on the seedling pot forming frame B, and prevents the transplantation of straw grass seedlings, but at the other seedling pot a of the seedling pot forming frame B. At the time of supplying soil covering after transplanting seedlings, soil covering can be supplied also to the seedling pot a equipped with the blocking member 5. And by this, the amount of soils in those seedling pots a can be increased, the amount of root entanglement between seedling roots can be increased, and thus the shape as a mat-like seedling can be easily adjusted. It is like this. That is, when the blocking member 5 is formed so as to block the passage of the covering soil, the mat-like seedlings grown by using the seedling pot forming frame B equipped with such blocking member 5 are blocked. No cover soil is supplied to the seedling pots a equipped with the members 5, and the amount of soil in the seedling pots a is reduced and the amount of root entanglement between seedling roots is reduced. When transferring or the like, the soil is likely to collapse from the seedling pots a and cracks easily occur. However, the seedling pot forming frame B according to the present embodiment may be used to grow mat-like seedlings. When it is set, the amount of soil can be increased in the seedling pot a where the strawberries are not transplanted, and the amount of entanglement between the seedling roots can be increased,
It is possible to avoid such inconvenience.

[Other Embodiments] Other embodiments of the present invention will be listed below. The seedling raising box A may be diverted from the one for paddy rice. The seedling pot forming frame B may be formed in a size corresponding to the entire seedling raising area of the seedling raising box A, and one seedling pot forming frame B may be attached to the seedling raising box A. As the seedling pot forming frame B, a plurality of seedling pots a having a circular shape in plan view may be partitioned and formed in a state of being aligned vertically and horizontally. The blocking member 5 may be formed so as to block the seedling pot a and also prevent passage of covering soil to the seedling pot a. As shown in FIG. 8, the blocking member 5 may be configured to be detachable from the seedling pot forming frame B. By configuring the blocking member 5 in this way, each blocking member 5 can be removed from the seedling pot forming frame B at the time of supplying the soil to the seedling pot forming frame B of the seedling pot forming frame B after transplanting the strawberries. So,
This makes it easier to supply the covering soil to the seedling pot a in which the transplantation of the strawberries seedlings has been blocked, as compared with the case where the blocking member 5 is formed to allow passage of the covering soil. The blocking member 5 may have a shape other than a cross shape, such as a straight shape that can prevent the transplantation of strawberries.
