The invention relates to agriculture, in particular to methods of growing seedlings in hydroponic tomato plants. The inventive method of growing seedlings of tomato in hydroponic applicable installation comprising inclined girders installed on their trays in five tiers. According to the invention, seeding is carried out in the upper tray, and in the care of plants at regular intervals carry out sequential movement of container plants to a lower tier to lower tier remove the seedlings and then release the tray is moved to the vacant stage and seeded in it the seeds of the next turn . This makes it possible to increase the yield of tomatoes grown in the installation.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to methods for growing plants, particularly to methods for hydroponic cultivation of tomato in plants and can be used in agriculture.

There is a method of growing seedlings of tomato on a hydroponic installation containing sowing seeds in trays, installation and care of plants (auth. St. USSR N 281944, cl. A 01 G 31/00, 1970).

This method does not take into account the degree of illumination of plants in trays of various sources of natural and artificial irradiation plants, which reduces the yield grown in hydroponic tomatoes installation.

Object of the invention to increase the quality and productivity of seedlings grown in hydroponic tomatoes installation.

This problem is solved by a method for cultivating seedlings of tomato on multistoried hydroponics installations comprising sowing seeds in trays, installation and care of plants, according to the invention, seeding is carried out in a tray located on the upper level, and in the process of caring for the plants is carried out at regular intervals time sequential movement of container plants to the lower tier, with the lower tier remove the seedlings and then moved the tray of the lower tier of the vacant upper tier and planted seeds in it.

In a preferred embodiment of the method of growing seedlings of tomato as a multistoried hydroponics installations used five-tiered, and moving the trays is performed every 4 days.

Sowing seeds in trays, located on the upper tier of hydroponic plant in the process of caring for the plants consistently every 4 days, the movement of plants in trays to a lower tier to a lower tier, where completed seedling growth, allows to obtain the same amount of light plants, despite the fact that some parts of the hydroponic installation height are illuminated unevenly. This ultimately increases the quality and yield of tomato seedlings, grown and uniformity and production.

When the period of growing seedlings of tomato, continuing, as a rule, 18

22 days, for an equal amount of total light exposure of plants to giving the highest result, produce growing seedlings in trays on a five-story unit with a consistent movement of container plants from the upper tier to the lower after 4 days.

The proposed method of growing seedlings of tomato on multistoried hydroponics installations differs from the known, taken as a prototype, in that seeding is carried out in a tray located on the upper level, and in the process of caring for the plants is carried out at regular intervals consistent movement of container plants to a lower tier , with the lower tier remove the seedlings and then moved the tray of the lower tier on tier vacant and planted seeds in it.

The method may be used in agriculture, it allows to increase the yield and quality of cultivated tomato.

The drawing schematically shows an implementation of the method.

METHOD seedlings TOMATO ON multistoried hydroponics installations

Example 1. The greenhouse 1 is mounted hydroponics installation comprising two oblique crossbars, which are parallel to each other and to the base of five tiers of trays 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. Reference numerals 8 and 9 show the sources of natural and artificial light. In the closest to the top of the installation tray 3 seeds of tomato. In the care of the plants at regular intervals of about 4 days, the tray 3 is put on place tray 4, the tray 4 on the seat pan 5, the tray 5 on the 6 position of the tray, and the tray 6 in place of the lower tray 7. On the tray 7 is removed and seedlings send them for further cultivation, and the tray is put on the top-tier place the tray 3 and again planted in him the seeds of tomato. Every 4 days repeated permutations. The yield of tomato varieties "Flame", derived from the data of seedlings was 650 kg / m 2 per year.

Example 2. Growing seedlings of tomato produce by planting the seeds of all the trays without permutation. Yield tomato seedlings obtained from the data, was 520 kg / m 2 per year.

Thus, the proposed method makes it possible to increase yields grown on hydroponic tomato installation.

CLAIM

1. A method of growing seedlings of tomato on multistoried hydroponics installations, including sowing seeds in trays, installation and care of plants, characterized in that the seeding is carried out in a tray located on the upper level, and in the process of caring for the plants is carried out at regular intervals consistent movement container plants to a lower tier to lower tier remove the seedlings and then moved the tray of the lower tier of the vacant upper tier, and sown seeds in his next turn.

2. The method of claim. 1, characterized in that the tiered use five-tiered hydroponic installation and movement of the trays is performed every four days.
