STRUCTURE OF NURSERY BED AND METHOD FOR REARING SEEDLING

摘要

PURPOSE:To provide a structure for a nursery bed in which a slow-release fertilizer and seeds are scattered in the same layer on bed soil and soil covering treatment thereof is carried out and a method for rearing a seedling by which the seedling, holding a fertilizer and transplanted to a field, is reared to reduce the amount of the fertilizer applied and the frequency of the fertilizer application during the whole cultivation period by using this structure. CONSTITUTION:This structure for a nursery bed 1 comprises a bed soil layer 3 prepared by laying commercially available culture soil in a nursery box 2, a fertilizer and seed layer 4 obtained by sowing seeds (4a) thereon and applying a sigmoid type coated granular fertilizer as a fertilizer (4b) in the same layer as that of the seeds (4a) and a soil cover layer 5 prepared by carrying out the soil covering treatment of the top surface of the fertilizer seed layer 4 with the culture soil. Furthermore, this method for rearing a seedling is to bring the root part into contact with the fertilizer (4b) by growth of each seedling, entangle the root part with the fertilizer (4b), rear the seedling, transplant the seedling in a state of the root part entangled with the fertilizer (4b), together wit the fertilizer (4b), into a field and apply the fertilizer (4b) applied to the seeds in preparing the nursery bed as a fertilizer in the whole cultivation period.
