Abstract
A culture tray for the rooting of young plants in parallel rows including an open-top housing having a base wall and a peripherally extending edge. The housing-base wall defines a plurality of transversely extending channels which accommodate a multiplicity of generally cup-shaped pots having bottom walls with a drainage hole. The tray-base wall is arranged at a lower position in relation to the surrounding edge and the transversely directed channels are provided in the tray base wall at a certain distance apart.
Claims24
A culture tray for young plants to take root in parallel rows to support pots oriented towards the base which have openings of a smaller diameter in their base walls surrounding the culture tray, whereby the tray base is arranged at a lower position in relation to the walls and transversely directed channels at predefinable distances apart from one another are arranged on the tray base, whereby a multiplicity of pots, having top edges shaped in such a way that they close the channels completely, are hooked in the parallel channels, consisting or rows of pots, and that the channels located between two adjacent areas of the tray base are part of the culture tray and, in comparison with the channels or the multiplicity of pots, are raised sloping to both sides.
A culture tray for the rooting of young plants in parallel rows in a multiplicity of plant pots, comprising:
- an open top housing having a base wall and a peripherally extending edge, said base wall defining a plurality of transversely extending and spaced apart channels which may accommodate the multiplicity of plant pots, said housing base wall being arranged at a lower position in relation to said peripherally extending edge and said transversely directed channels being provided in the housing base wall at predefinable distances apart from one another wherein said channels are provided with at least one hole through which surplus water may flow into a water-collection system and wherein said housing base wall has wall sections located between two adjacent channels which are arranged in a pitched roof shape, wherein said multiplicity of plant pots are arranged next to each other and supported in said channels.
An assembly of culture trays for the rooting of young plants, comprising:
- a plurality of culture trays arranged in a row each comprising an open top housing having a base wall and a peripherally extending edge, said base wall defining a plurality of transversely extending and spaced-apart channels which may accommodate the multiplicity of plant pots, said housing base wall being arranged at a lower position in relation to said peripherally extending edge and said transversely directed channels being provided in the housing base wall at predefinable distances apart from one another wherein said channels are provided with at least one hole through which surplus water may flow into a water-collection system and wherein said housing base wall has wall sections located between two adjacent channels which are arranged in a pitched roof shape,
- said row of culture trays including one starting tray, at least one center tray, and one end tray, each of said trays including a surrounding edge at least particularly enclosing said tray and a multiplicity of plant pots arranged in parallel rows, said plant pots having open top ends, and sidewalls depending from said top ends which merge with a pot bottom wall having a hole, and means for hooking said culture trays to each other in a row.
