2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, hydroponic cultivation methods for cultivating plants with nutrient solutions have been widely performed. However, in the case of hydroponic cultivation, the nutrient solution is forcibly circulated, and large-scale nutrient solution circulating equipment including means for adjusting the amount of nutrients and dissolved oxygen necessary for growing plants and adjusting the water temperature, and managing the same. Is required, so a large initial cost and a running cost are required. In addition, when spinach is cultivated, which is considered difficult to grow because it does not develop moisture roots, the growth of the spinach is poor due to lack of oxygen, etc., and the color becomes yellowish green with yellowish color. do not become. In addition, because the structure is based on the constant circulation of nutrient solution, once a crop or equipment is contaminated with disease or bacteria, all cultivation related to the circulation equipment must be discarded. As a result, you will suffer enormous damage. JP-B-4-52730 (Patent No. 1769961)
No.) The cultivation method described in the official gazette is of a solitary type in which nutrient solution is stored in an amount required for cultivation, and the water tank is configured as a semi-underground type to reduce the adverse effect on the nutrient solution temperature due to the outside air temperature. It is a method of cultivating hydroponics. According to this cultivation method, large-scale nutrient solution circulating equipment and its management like hydroponic cultivation are unnecessary, initial costs and running costs are greatly reduced, and the equipment is simple and economical. In addition, since it is an independent cultivation method for each aquarium unit, even if any aquarium or crop is contaminated with bacteria, there is no risk of spreading to other aquariums, it is only necessary to discard the cultivation equipment and crops in the aquarium,
Damage can also be minimized. A similar hydroponics system is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application No. 7-14005.
No. 1 and the drawings. The features of this device are that all the water tanks formed of sheet material having flexibility, water pressure resistance and moisture permeability are exposed to the atmosphere, and the planting board is placed slightly above the liquid level as a lid of the water tank. A water-absorbing sheet that sucks up the nutrient solution from the planting hole of the planting plate is dripped deeply into the nutrient solution in the aquarium, and until the seedlings stick the roots in the nutrient solution in the tank, the water-absorbing sheet sucks up by capillary action. It is a configuration to grow plants.

The fixed planting plate 7 has a liquid surface width slightly lower than the liquid surface when the nutrient solution 6 required for harvesting the cultivated crop is stored in the water tank P configured as described above. The width of the water tank P is substantially equal to the size (usually about 50 cm), and the length of the water tank P is divided into a plurality of lengths (usually about 75 cm in consideration of workability and convenience in work), An inexpensive foamed plastic plate having a small specific gravity is used. However, the material of the planting plate 7 is not particularly limited as long as it floats on the nutrient solution 6 in the water tank P. Moreover, when the length of the water tank P is small, it can also be carried out with a single planting board of the same shape and the same size. As shown in FIG. 6, a plurality of the planting holes 8 of the planting board 7 are provided in a regular arrangement in a vertical and horizontal direction so as to form cultivation ridges at appropriate intervals for growing the crop. The size and shape of the fixed planting hole 8 vary depending on the planting condition of the crop. For example, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, a slit 15a having a width of about 15 mm and a length of about 10 to 15 cm is provided.

A required amount of the nutrient solution 6 is supplied to the above-described water tank P, and a holding sheet 10 holding, for example, spinach seeds 9 is set in the fixed planting holes 8 of the fixed planting plate 7 to perform a seeding operation. The planting board 7 floats on the liquid surface of the nutrient solution 6 in the water tank P directly or at the stage when it is once put into the germination chamber and germinated to the degree of double leaves. When a germination chamber is used, an environment suitable for germination is prepared, so that germination can be performed quickly, uniformly and with high efficiency. As shown in FIG. 8, the planting plate 7 floating on the liquid surface of the water tank P is in a state where the seeds 9 planted in the planting holes 8 or the roots of the plants in which the seeds germinated are always directly immersed below the liquid surface. ,
Not only is the conventional water-absorbing sheet useless, but also all of the seeds or germinated plants sown in the planting holes 8 of the planting board 7 can take a nutrient solution. Therefore, there is no fear of withering due to lack of nutrient solution or falling down of the root and causing growth failure.

As described above, the seeds 9 are sowed in the respective planting holes 8, or the planting plate 7 taken out after being put into the germination chamber and germinated as shown in FIG. They are closely arranged to cover the liquid surface so as to float on the entire surface of the liquid surface, prevent unnecessary evaporation of the nutrient solution 6, prevent sunlight from entering, and further prevent heat radiation. As the working method, as described above, the fixed planting plate 7 is a water tank P of the cultivation apparatus.
The worker standing at one end floats one by one to the end of the water tank P and moves it toward the other end by a forward pushing operation. As shown in FIG. 5, the planting board 7 floating on the liquid surface of the water tank P and having both side edges restrained by the wall surface of the water tank P
Can be gently moved like a series of plate-like shapes flowing on the liquid surface, and finally can be disposed on the entire surface of the liquid surface. Therefore, there is no need for the worker to move and dispose the fixed planting board 7 one by one, and light work can be performed efficiently.

Thus, the fixed planting board 7 floating on the entire surface of the liquid surface of the water tank P is used as it is for the crop Q (spinach).
Shift to the training period. However, at the beginning of the growing period, for a while, the hem portions hanging down on both sides of the sheet-shaped material 5 are raised as shown by the dotted line in FIG. Is good. As the nutrient solution 6 is absorbed and consumed by the crop Q and its level drops,
Initially, the fixed planting plate 7 floating on the liquid surface of the nutrient solution 6 as shown in FIG. 5 also descends, and is supported as it is in a state where both side edges are caught and stopped on both wall surfaces of the water tank P. When the liquid level further decreases, an air layer R is generated between the planting plate 7 and the air layer R, which gradually expands (see FIG. 9). As a result, the root portion of the crop Q that has grown by absorbing nutrients and dissolved oxygen in the nutrient solution 6 enough to soak at the beginning, is still under water in the nutrient solution 6 and the level of the water drops. It becomes a double feature with the "moisture root" exposed in the generated space R, and the "moisture root" develops well, absorbs a necessary and sufficient amount of oxygen from the atmosphere and grows to a quality state sufficient for harvesting. Facilitate. Therefore,
Even spinach, which is considered to be difficult to grow, can harvest fresh, firm, thick stems, thick leaf, and deep green adults without losing oxygen.

When a germination room is used for a germination period of about one week, spinach can be harvested as an adult that can be shipped in about 25 days. When this cultivation apparatus is used, the yield is greatly increased and a large profit can be secured. It has also been confirmed that adding a chip obtained by cutting the bark of cedar or cypress to a nutrient solution has the effect of suppressing the occurrence of green algae. The harvesting of the crop Q is conveniently performed using a work cart 16 traveling along the edge of the water tank P, as illustrated in FIGS. 9 and 10.
As a means for this, a round pipe-shaped rail member 11 is placed on the sheet fixing groove 1a of the profile 1 forming the edge of the water tank P. Then, the rail material 11 is placed on the two parallel rail materials 11, 11 prepared in the longitudinal direction of the water tank P.
A work vehicle 16 having a vehicle body 13 having wheels 12 running on the vehicle and having a configuration in which the water tank P is straddled in the width direction is used. Further, if necessary, the harvest basket 14 is placed on the work cart 10, and the crop Q such as the cultivated spinach is harvested.
