Problems solved by technology

However, the effectiveness of the release agent is strongly dependent on the composition of the container and the substrate and may be significantly less effective if the composition is slightly different
Therefore, the matrix may contain, for example, specific fertilizers that cause the release agent to fail

Embodiment Construction

[0019] Figures 1 and 2 show a tray 1 consisting of a plurality of containers 2 arranged in a rectangular matrix. The tray is made from one piece of plastic material. The container 2 consists of a frusto-conical side wall 3 and a bottom 4 with a hole 5 (shown in Figures 4 and 5). These containers are interconnected by lateral flanges 6 and upper flanges 7 .

[0020] According to FIG. 1 , the powder emulsion layer can be applied to the disc 1 by spraying the emulsion on the disc 1 from above the disc 1 with an emulsion sprayer 8 or by immersing the disc 1 in an emulsion bath. After application of the emulsion, drying is preferably carried out before filling the container 2 . The powder can also be applied directly in dry form (not shown). The result of this is shown in Figure 2, where the powder 10 can be discerned on the inside wall of the container. Depending on the method used, the powder 10 is also present on the outside of the container 2, however the powder has no effe...

Abstract

A method for cultivating plants, wherein use is made of a multitude of cells, each comprising a container having a cylindrical or frustoconical inner side wall, which container is open at the upper side, wherein the containers are filled with a growth substrate containing a seed, and wherein a layer of powder is applied to the inner side walls of the containers before the growth substrates are placed in the containers.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method of cultivating plants, wherein the method is carried out by means of a plurality of compartments, each comprising a container having a cylindrical or frusto-conical inner side wall, said container being open on the upper side, wherein said The container is filled with a growing substrate containing seeds. In the context of the present invention, the terms "cylindrical" or "frustoconical" are to be understood as also including prismatic and truncated pyramidal shapes. Background technique [0002] Examples of this approach are described in NL1017460 and N1023354. The problem with this method is that when the plants are to be transferred to a larger bed, the growth substrate breaks up when it is taken out of the container, part of the substrate remains or more force must be used to remove it. Remove the matrix. This may cause damage to the plant roots. It is known that a release agent can be sprayed, thus exhibiting ...
