PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fertilizing tool for cultivation that spreads a fertilizer component to a cultivation bed, packed with a culture medium, over a wide area and has a simple constitution at low cost. SOLUTION: A feed liquid such as water is collected in a liquid-retaining vessel 20, and a fertilizer component is eluted, when brought into contact with a slow-acting fertilizer 11 through the liquid passage part of a fertilizer vessel 10. The feed liquid (fertilizer solution), mixed with the eluted fertilizer component, is absorbed in a liquid application member 30. The liquid applying member 30 includes a facing face 32 that faces a culture medium positioned outside of the liquid retention vessel 20. Since a liquid solution is applied to a culture medium from the facing face 32 as a whole, the fertilizer component is supplied evenly to the required area. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cultivation liquid feeding device which has a simple structure and can be inexpensively manufactured. SOLUTION: The cultivation liquid feeding device is structured as follows: both of water from a raw water feeding system 20 and liquid fertilizer from a liquid fertilizer feeding system 30 are collected in a feeding liquid tank 10 and mixed in the feeding liquid tank 10; a prescribed specified amount of the liquid fertilizer is feed to the feeding liquid tank 10 when a flow switch 21 detects timing for water feeding. Accordingly, the cultivation liquid feeding device has no need of providing any complicated mechanism such as a microcomputer where a flowmeter is equipped to control an amount of the liquid fertilizer to be mixed so as to correspond to the amount of the feed water detected by the flowmeter. As a result, the piping arrangement is also simplified so as to obtain a simple and inexpensive cultivation liquid feeding device 1. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an inexpensively produceable drive mechanism of an opening and closing apparatus for a greenhouse having a simple structure. SOLUTION: A lever 41 of a toggle switch 40 which is a switch for motor driving is provided so as to be protruded to the outside of a support frame 20. When the lever 41 reaches a winding stop position or an unwinding stop position, the drive mechanism returns the lever 41 to a neutral state by a string member 60 for stopping driving as a drive stop member and directly controls on/off motion of a motor 10. As a result, when the lever 41 is returned to a neutral position in the winding stop position or the unwinding stop position and the motor 10 becomes off state once, the motor is free from fear causing restarting even if external force by the drive stop member is not continuously exerted.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for carrying out year-round culture of strawberry in which one season production variety of strawberry can be harvested over a year. SOLUTION: Flower-bud differentiation of new stock can continuously be derived in the field by continuing low-temperature short-day environment in the field. Therefore, continuous budding is made possible not only period ranging from the latter half of autumn season to spring season, but also summer season and the first half of autumn season and fruits can be harvested over year round. Temporary planting operation is made unnecessary and culture operation and culture facilities are simplified by setting the new stock separated from the parent root and keeping the new stock in the low-temperature short-day environment. Stress of roots by transplantation is eliminated, compared with a conventional culture method transplanting from temporary planting bed to the field. In addition, when the plant is set in the field without carrying out temporary planting, it is preferable that the new stock is separated from the parent root in a state in which a runner having a prescribed length is accompanied and the top of the runner is inserted into a culture medium in the field and set. Thereby, since nourishing water is supplied through the runner, high survival rate can be expected without carrying out temporary planting. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
