Description

The utility model relates to agriculture, in particular to devices for growing seedlings of vegetable crops, flowers, and can be used both in a summer house and in mass production.

A well-known cassette for seedlings and seedlings, containing a box-shaped case, in the cover of which there are installed cells through the ears, the bottoms of which are conjugated with conical elements for seedlings, placed coaxially with the cells and interconnected in the block, while the mating diameters of the cells and elements are equal (RU Patent 2056728, IPC A01G 9/02, publ. 03/27/1996).

The drawback of the cassette is damage to the roots and stems of plants during the extraction of seedlings from the cell before planting in the ground.

A device for growing seedlings is known, containing identical cells made of plastic, connected to each other by stiffeners with the formation of a block and having an open neck, a bottom with an opening and tapering towards the bottom of the wall, while the ratio of the size of the neck and the size of the hole is no more than 2 : 1, and the angle of inclination of the cell walls to the bottom is at least 60 ° (Patent RU 2128902, IPC A01G 9/02, A01G 9/10, publ. 04/20/1999; Patent RU 6969, IPC A01G 9/02, publ. 16.07 .1998).

The disadvantage of this device is the damage to the roots of the seedlings during its extraction from the cell by extruding a lump of earth with the plant through the hole.

A well-known container for seedlings containing a box on which a panel with conical holes is installed, in which pots are installed, split vertically. The bottom of the pots is made inclined to the plane of the connector. To extract seedlings, the pot is removed from the hole, tilted to the side of one of its parts, and the upper part of it is removed. After this, the second part, together with seedlings, is lowered into the hole in the ground, tilted in the opposite direction and freely removed from the soil pot (Patent SU 1771402, IPC A01G 9/02, publ. 23.10.1992).

The disadvantage of the container is the need for a multi-operation, complex procedure for extracting seedlings during planting.

The closest is a device for growing seedlings, containing a horizontal panel with oval cells open on top to form a root system oriented along the major axis of the oval. When planting seedlings in an earthen lump field with a plant, the major axis of the oval is located across the row, which ensures the distribution of roots in the row-spacing and increases the effective feeding area (Patent SU 1720566, IPC A01G 9/02, publ. 23.03.1992).

The disadvantage of this device is the need to extract seedlings from the cell before planting, which leads to damage to the roots and stems of plants.

The task is to develop a device for growing seedlings, ensuring the effective growth and development of seedlings, as well as the preservation of the roots and stems of plants when planting seedlings.

The technical result is the preservation of seedlings when removed from the device, improving the biological and agrotechnical characteristics of crops grown and, as a result, increasing their productivity.

The technical result is achieved when using a device for growing seedlings, containing a horizontal panel with cells open at the top, while the cells are made in the form of bags of elastic tubular knitwear with a smooth weave.

The essence of the device consists in the implementation of the cells for seedlings in the form of bags of elastic tubular knitwear weaving smooth surface. This allows, by providing more comfortable conditions for the germination of seedlings and not traumatic extraction of it from the device before planting in the ground, to increase the biological and agrotechnical characteristics of crops grown and, as a result, to increase the productivity of plants.

Open cells mounted on a horizontal panel, made in the form of bags of elastic tubular knitwear by weaving a smooth surface, are capable of stretching both in the longitudinal and transverse directions, as a result of which the root system of seedlings developing in them does not undergo any inhibitory effect during growth, and Before planting in the soil, the bags with seedlings are turned inside out, thus freeing the earthen lump with seedlings completely without damage to the stem and root system. All this helps to increase the productivity of crops.

In FIG. 1 shows a device for growing seedlings; in FIG. 2 shows a graphical record of the weave surface.

A device for growing seedlings contains a horizontal panel 1 with cells 2 open at the top, made in the form of bags of elastic tubular knitwear by weaving a smooth surface.

Elastic tubular knitwear with a smooth surface weave is obtained on a 14-cylinder single-cylinder stocking machine (IRMAK Italy) while knitting inextensible 3 and elastomeric 4 threads. The finished tubular knitwear is cut in the transverse direction, the resulting cylindrical fragments are sutured from one end with the formation of bags and the resulting bags are fixed with the open end on a horizontal panel.

The device operates as follows.

Cells 2 of the device are filled with soil and sown in them. A device for growing seedlings is installed in a pan with water (or nutrient fluid).

As the plant grows in the device for growing seedlings, the green part of the seedlings grows outward, and the roots develop in bags 2. Cells in the form of bags made of elastic tubular knitwear by weave smoothness ensure the preservation of the substrate in them (the earth does not fall out of the cells), do not limit the development of the root systems of the grown material, ensuring its uniform development and functioning, and also ensure isolation of the root systems of neighboring plants from each other, as a result of which they do not mutually repleteniya and oppression. As a result, plant roots develop in knitted bags without damage, with good access to water, nutrients and air.

Before planting in the soil, seedlings are removed from the device by turning the bag around. Another way to extract seedlings can be to remove the cell along with the seedlings from the panel, after which the knitted bag is removed from the earthen coma with the roots of the plant before planting. In both cases, the seedlings do not have any negative impact, and it is naturally released from the cell, keeping all its structures intact.

The design ensures the safety of plant roots, the absence of deformation of the stems, the effective growth and development of seedlings, as well as all the necessary agrotechnical conditions for growing.

The roots of the plants are not damaged and do not tear, and retain their structure and viability, which ensures the effective growth and development of seedlings, as well as all the necessary agrotechnical conditions for the normal vegetative development of the plant and, as a result, an increase in its productivity.

Lightness and compactness of the device provides ease of use and transportation.

The presence of a loop structure allows for uniform access of the nutrient solution and air to the roots of plants throughout the cell volume.

In order to prevent infectious diseases of plants, cells made in the form of bags of elastic tubular knitwear by weaving a smooth surface can be soaked in disinfectant solutions before use.

Thus, a comfortable germination of seedlings and its removal from the device before planting in the ground is ensured, which positively affects the functioning of plants, which in turn leads to an increase in plant yield and crop quality, i.e. crop productivity.
