Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medicinal plant cultivation technology, and relates to a simple seedling kit for breaking the dormancy of Epimedium seeds. Background Technology

[0002] Epimedium ( Epimedium Epimedium (L.) is a perennial herb belonging to the Berberidaceae family. Five species of the genus Epimedium are included in the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China (2020 edition), including Epimedium wushanense (…). E. wushanense Epimedium ( E. brevicornu Epimedium brevicornu ( E. sagittatum ), Epimedium brevicornu ( E. pubescens ) and Korean Epimedium ( E. koreanum Its stems and leaves, when dried, can be used as a commercial medicinal material, possessing effects such as warming and tonifying kidney yang, strengthening muscles and bones, and dispelling wind and dampness. Epimedium is mostly obtained by digging up wild plants, leading to a sharp decline in wild resources year by year, and it faces depletion.

[0003] Therefore, there are currently numerous attempts to propagate Epimedium seeds into seedlings for cultivation. However, Epimedium seeds exhibit dormancy, which must be broken before germination. Seed dormancy refers to the biological phenomenon where viable seeds delay germination even under suitable germination conditions. Breaking seed dormancy is typically achieved through stratification, such as mixing moist sand and seeds in a specific ratio and maintaining the mixture for a period of time. In the laboratory, stratification experiments are usually conducted in small containers. In practical, extensive cultivation, moist sand and seeds are often directly piled up in a specific ratio, requiring frequent maintenance to maintain stable humidity. After the seeds break dormancy and germinate, the seedlings need to be sieved out from the sand, but this can easily damage the seedlings and is a cumbersome process.

[0004] Epimedium seeds exhibit dormancy, have a long natural germination period, and a low germination rate. While stratification has been reported to effectively break seed dormancy (see CN114946318B), the containers used in stratification are still small experimental containers, which are insufficient to meet the requirements of large-scale, efficient seedling cultivation in actual production. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a kit for large-scale seedling cultivation suitable for practical production. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problem that existing containers used to break the dormancy of Epimedium seeds are mostly small laboratory containers and unsuitable for large-scale seedling cultivation in actual production, this invention provides a simple seedling kit for breaking the dormancy of Epimedium seeds.

[0006] The utility model discloses a simple for breaking epimedium seed dormancy's seedling kit, including stratification pot, scraper and sealing tape, and the stratification pot is the cuboid groove of top opening, and the long side of stratification pot outer bottom surface is 100-120cm, and the width side is 50-70cm, and the distance of stratification pot top end from inner bottom surface is 7-8cm, and the above long side of stratification pot is as first side wall, and the above width side is as second side wall, and the thickness of first side wall, second side wall is 0.3-0.5cm, and the inner wall of two first side walls is all provided with a first reinforcing rib and a second reinforcing rib, and two first reinforcing ribs correspond, and two second reinforcing ribs also correspond, and the top surface of first reinforcing rib and second reinforcing rib are all parallel with inner bottom surface, and the distance of first reinforcing rib top surface from inner bottom surface is 3-3.5cm, and the distance of second reinforcing rib top surface from inner bottom surface is 4-4.5cm, and the inner wall of two second side walls is connected with the both ends of first reinforcing rib respectively, and the distance between the inner wall of opposite second side wall of each end of second reinforcing rib is greater than the width of scraper for the in and out of scraper,

[0007] The length of scraper is greater than the interval between two first reinforcing ribs and the interval between two second reinforcing ribs, and is less than the interval between the inner wall of two first side walls, for filling the substrate in stratification pot along two first reinforcing rib top surface, two second reinforcing rib top surface and scraping flat,

[0008] The sealing tape is used for connecting the top of stratification pot and the bottom of another stratification pot placed on the top of stratification pot, and sealing the space in stratification pot.

[0009] The capacity of the above-mentioned stratification pot is far greater than that of the small container used in experiments, and is suitable for single-person operation in production practice, and can realize the stacking use of multiple stratification pots, especially suitable for batch storage in cold storage, realize large-scale seedling raising, and improve the seedling raising efficiency. When using, first fill the substrate into a stratification pot below until covering the first reinforcing rib, then use the scraper to push the substrate along the top surface of the two first reinforcing ribs, and take out the excess substrate after scraping it to one side, which is very convenient, then sow the epimedium seeds, cover a layer of substrate to cover the second reinforcing rib, then use the scraper to push the substrate along the top surface of the two second reinforcing ribs, take out the excess substrate after scraping it to one side, then use another stratification pot above to place the bottom on the top of the stratification pot below, that is, form the stacking state, the stratification pot above also plays the role of cover for the stratification pot below at this time, without using another cover for sealing, then connect the bottom of the stratification pot above and the top of the stratification pot below through the sealing tape, so that a closed space is formed between the two stratification pots, and the humidity in the stratification process is ensured not to change. The stacking of multiple layers can greatly increase the stratification amount of epimedium seeds, and the cold storage space is fully utilized, and the operation is also simplified. After the seed dormancy is broken and germination, the sealing tape is removed, and after the stacking is removed, the germination condition can be directly observed by naked eye and is beneficial to directly carry out subsequent operation, without screening through the sieve again, so as to avoid damaging the seedlings.

[0010] Since the layering basin body is large and also needs to bear the pressure of multiple layers of stacking, the first reinforcing rib and the second reinforcing rib are arranged on the layering basin to reinforce the basin body, in addition, the first reinforcing rib and the second reinforcing rib also play the role of scale line, the thickness of the substrate below the top surface of the first reinforcing rib is suitable as the bottom layer substrate thickness for Epimedium seed layering, the thickness of the substrate between the top surface of the second reinforcing rib and the top surface of the first reinforcing rib is suitable as the cover thickness for Epimedium seed layering (see paragraph 0071 of CN114946318B, the bottom layer thickness is 3cm, and the cover thickness is 1cm), and the space between the top surface of the second reinforcing rib and the top surface of the layering basin is used as the space for the germination and growth of Epimedium seed after breaking dormancy. When the substrate is leveled, the substrate can be leveled by using the scraper along the top surface of the first reinforcing rib and the top surface of the second reinforcing rib in sequence, the substrate leveling operation is simple and convenient, and the leveled and uniform substrate is beneficial to improve the success rate of seedling raising.

[0011] The two ends of the first reinforcing rib are connected with the inner walls of the two second side walls respectively, so that the whole basin body is more firm, the distance between each end of the second reinforcing rib and the inner wall of the opposite second side wall is greater than the width of the scraper, that is, each end of the second reinforcing rib is not connected with the inner wall of the opposite second side wall to form a gap, and when the substrate at the first reinforcing rib is leveled by the scraper, the scraper and the excess substrate can be taken out from the gap.

[0012] Further, the scraper is L-shaped, including a horizontal plate and a baffle, both of which are long strips, the baffle is fixed on the upper surface of the horizontal plate, and the two ends of the horizontal plate in the length direction are flush with the two ends of the baffle in the length direction. In this way, not only can the substrate in the layering basin be leveled along the top surface of the first reinforcing rib and the top surface of the second reinforcing rib by the scraper, but also the excess substrate can be gathered on the upper surface of the horizontal plate and pushed to one side of the layering basin together with the baffle for taking out, thereby facilitating the operation.

[0013] Further, a handle is vertically fixed on the middle of the top surface of the baffle. In this way, it is convenient for hand operation and saves labor.

[0014] Further, a handle is vertically fixed on the middle of the top surface of the baffle. In this way, it is convenient for hand operation and saves labor.

[0015] Further, a handle is vertically fixed on the middle of the top surface of the baffle. In this way, it is convenient for hand operation and saves labor.
