The application belongs to the technical field of forest
tree breeding and
seedling raising, and particularly relates to a
forestry seedling raising device and method. In view of the problem that the existing
forestry seedling raising device lacks effective water resource recycling measures, the following scheme is proposed, which comprises an
irrigation box, the inner wall of the
irrigation box is slidably connected with a mounting plate, a plurality of symmetrical notches are formed in the mounting plate, a cultivation pot is arranged in each notch, a plurality of hydrophobic holes that are circumferentially and equidistantly distributed are formed in the bottom of each cultivation pot, a
water storage tank is arranged below the
irrigation box, and a recycling module is arranged outside the
water storage tank. The disclosed
forestry seedling raising device and method can collect and store
free water in the soil that cannot be timely absorbed by rainwater and seedlings, so that the device can timely irrigate the seedlings by using the stored water in the
dry season, thereby greatly reducing the
water pressure, significantly saving
water resources, and improving the
resource utilization rate.
