[0002] The cultivation of virus-free sweet potato seedlings is a crucial step in agricultural production, as their growth status directly impacts sweet potato yield and quality. Water and fertilizer retention are key technologies in seedling cultivation; a suitable cultivation device can provide a stable growth environment for the seedlings, ensuring an effective supply of water and nutrients. Currently, various water and fertilizer retention devices for virus-free sweet potato seedling cultivation are available on the market, but their structure and function still have certain limitations, making it difficult to meet the needs of refined cultivation and experimental observation.
[0003] In existing technologies, water and fertilizer retention devices for virus-free sweet potato seedlings typically employ an integrated cultivation structure, where multiple seedlings are planted together in the same cultivation trough or tray, and water and nutrients are supplied through a unified irrigation system. These devices are mostly fixed in design, with the cultivation trough and cabinet integrally formed, and connected to an external water source and fertilizer tank via pipes to achieve automatic irrigation and fertilization. In addition, some devices are equipped with transparent observation windows for easy, preliminary observation of seedling growth.
[0004] However, existing technologies have the following problems: traditional water and fertilizer retention devices for virus-free sweet potato seedlings cannot cultivate individual seedlings separately, making it difficult to distinguish the growth status of different seedlings during subsequent observation and experiments, affecting the accuracy of experimental data and the convenience of operation. At the same time, due to centralized seedling cultivation, abnormal conditions of individual seedlings may be overlooked, hindering precise control and management. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a water and fertilizer retention device that can achieve individual seedling cultivation and facilitate observation. Utility Model Content
