PLANTING METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PLANT PROPAGULES

摘要

A method for planting a plant propagule with a root forming end and a shoot forming end, comprising the steps of providing a growth substrate and an elongated tubular hollow member (2), inserting the root forming end of the propagule into the hollow member (2) such that the shoot forming end does not enter the hollow member (2); and withdrawing the hollow member (2) through the growth substrate in the direction opposite of the shoot forming end, whereby the propagule is planted in a hole (3) in the substrate left by the hollow member (2), with the root forming end located within the substrate and the shoot out of the substrate. Associated devices are also provided.

1. A method for planting a plant propagule with a root forming end and a shoot forming end, comprising the steps of:
a) providing a growth substrate and an elongated tubular hollow member,
arranged such that the hollow member is movable in relation to the substrate, andarranged such that the hollow member penetrates through the substrate, andwherein said hollow member is dimensioned such that the root forming end fits into the member; b) inserting the root forming end of the propagule into the hollow member, either before or after that the hollow member is arranged to penetrate through the substrate; and c) withdrawing the hollow member through the growth substrate in the direction opposite of the shoot forming end, such that the propagule is planted in the hole in the substrate left by the hollow member, with the root forming end located within the substrate and the shoot forming end located at the surface of the substrate.
