Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a nursery bed, which facilitates separation of a nursery bed composed of a soil block into unit blocks.

Conventional technology and problems to be solved by the invention A mat-shaped soil block formed into a proper thickness in a plan view shape obtained by kneading and mixing soil and peat moss and the like is even in the thickness direction. Since it is a simple floor material, it is difficult to divide seedlings accurately when separating them with a planting device after raising seedlings.

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention is to provide a kerf on the upper surface of a space (3) between seeding blocks (2) at respective seeding positions of a soil block (1) for seeding and raising seedlings at regular intervals, with vertical and horizontal appropriate depths. Forming (4),
Floor material (5) that is easier to cut than the soil block (1)
The nursery bed is composed of

Action and effect of the invention A floor material (5) is sown in each seeding block (2) of the soil block (1) and is easier to cut than the material of the soil block (1) in the cut groove (4). And raise seedlings. By raising the seedlings, the root hair not only extends into the sowing block (2) but also partially into the floor material (5) of the cut groove (4).

The nursery beds raised in this way are supplied to a seedling tank of a seedling planting machine and separated and planted by a seedling planting device. This division of the nursery bed is performed for each seeding block (2) unit, but since the kerf (4) between the seeding blocks (2) is filled with the easy-to-cut floor material (5), Cutting and separation can be easily performed by a seedling planting device, etc., and accurate nursery bed separation and planting can be performed. Moreover, the seedlings raised at the time of raising seedlings also grow root hairs well to obtain healthy seedlings.

Example In addition, in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 of the drawings, (6) is a seedling raising box in which a seedling raising bed is placed to perform a seedling raising action. The soil block (1) is kneaded and molded by mixing peat moss with the original soil.
It can be dried and seeded by forming a depression (7) on the upper surface of each seeding block (2), and the peripheral surface of each seeding block (2) is formed in a pyramidal shape and aligned in the vertical and horizontal directions. To form. For this reason, the kerf (4) is formed in a V-shaped cross section so that it can be cut from the upper surface of the soil block (1) to the middle of the thickness or near the bottom.

Such a soil block (1) is fitted in the seedling raising box (6), seeded (11), each kerf (4) is filled with the flooring material (5), and the seeded depression ( Soil (12) is applied to 7). Further, the space (10) between the peripheral wall portion (8) of the nursery box (6) and the outer peripheral surface (9) of the soil block (1) is also filled with the floor material (5). As the floor material (5), it is preferable to use a material having a small amount of clay such as sand.

When seeded in this way, the seedlings are aligned in the same manner as the seeding blocks (2) by raising seedlings. This seedling raising nursery bed is supplied to the seedling tank of the seedling planting machine, divided into individual seeding blocks (2) by the seedling planting device, and planted on the soil surface.

FIG. 3 shows that the cut groove (4) is formed in a step shape, and a step portion (13) is provided in the upper and lower intermediate portions, and the width of the lower step portion (15) is narrower than that of the upper step portion (14). Then, it is formed up to near the bottom surface of the soil block (1). The lower portion (15) may be partially deep so that it is formed only on the four sides except the four corners.

[Brief description of drawings]

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a partial side sectional view, FIG. 2 is a perspective view, and FIG. 3 is a partial side sectional view of another embodiment. In the figure, reference numeral (1) is a soil block, (2) is a sowing block, (3) is a gap portion, (4) is a kerf, and (5) is a floor material.

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1. A cut groove (4) is formed vertically and horizontally at an appropriate depth on an upper surface of a space (3) between seeding blocks (2) at each seeding position of a soil block (1) for seeding and raising seedlings at regular intervals. ,
Floor material (5) that is easier to cut than the soil block (1)
Nursery beds filled with.
