| The efficient means of the nurse-seedling and planting
Hikaru NISHIUCHI Nishiki Institute, Uenoshiba-cho 5-533-1, Sakai, Osaka The manual works in cultivation of crops and plants are troublesome and laborous. Recently, the mechanizations in agriculture have been carried out, but the agricultural machines are high prices and need expensive fuels, furthermore it is not effective but for large scale farming. Any agricultural works are under various influences by the environments, stand and season, hour, weather, and can not be continuous in a stand. So the use of the agricultural machines is often uneconomical and brings so-called mechanization poverty to the farmer. The convenient planting method by the use of strings or tapes was devised and the apparatuses for it were invented by the author. It's principle for cultivation is as the followings. The several strings or tapes adhered the seeds or seedlings of plants with any adequate intervals on it can be easily streched out parallelly with any suitable spaces between the columns on the ground surface which have proper soil moisture and temperature. Then the seeds or seedlings shall soon strech out new roots into the soil and shall simultaneously sprout, stand up itself naturally. And it can grow vigorously in accordance with ecological and physiological theories for growth of plants body. After development of the roots, the strong dural tapes can be taken away from the ground and plants, and it can be used again economically. This mean needs not heavy machine and is very convinient. There are able to mulch plastic films or straws between the parallel columns of the plants for preventing weeds and keeping soil moisture and ground temperature. So the agricultural products by this cultivation can be good yields by convenient practices economically. There are some secrets how the seeds or seedlings are adhered with adequate intervals on the strings or tapes conveniently and extended with adequate spaces on the ground surface. It will be awarded by the training course for the memberships of "the Shokubyokai" (or "the Cultural Society") for the purpose of right progress of the proper practices in cultivation and agriculture. |
