Crop Protector


Crop Protector is a seedling's stake to prevent being damaged by Pomacea Canaliculata and wind damaged. The shell is made from straw fiber, which can stabilize the root and prevent dumping in a strong wind, the top is made of rice husk and tea seed meal which can drive away from the Pomacea Canaliculata. These three materials from agricultural waste are rich in nutrients, can decompose in the soil, and become nutrients to help crops grow to achieve friendly planting.

Existing Problems:Rice is an important crop in many areas, but it will be damaged by Pomacea Canaliculata and strong wind, causing 100 billion dollars of agricultural damage every year. Farmers used a lot of pesticides to kill Pomacea Canaliculata, which caused another ecological catastrophe, which affected the environment near the farmland and also affected the quality of rice.

Design Information: Crop Protector is a seedling's stake to prevent seedlings from being damaged by Pomacea Canaliculata, dumped, and provides nutrients. The shell is made from straw fiber, which can stabilize the root of the seedlings and prevent it from dumping in a strong wind, the top is made by adding rice bran and tea seed meal, which can reduce the damage of Pomacea Canaliculata and promote the initial growth of seedlings. The straw fiber, rice bran, and tea seed meal which from agricultural waste are rich in nutrients can be decomposed in the soil and become an organic fertilizer to help the growth of the seedling, and then achieve friendly recycling planting. Crop Protector can be used to transplant rice seedlings, or it can be linked into a form for mechanical transplanting, providing different planting needs in different areas.

-

Seedling Cultivation Process: 1. Fill the soil into Crop Protector to 80%. 2. Put the rice seeds in Crop Protector. 3. Start to disinfect. 4. Fill the soil into Crop Protector again. 5. Wait for growing into a seedling.

-

Using Process: 1.Use Crop Protector linked into a disk form for seedlings. 2. Place the entire plate of Crop Protector above the rear plate of the rice transplanter. 3. When the rice transplanter operation, it will hook a single Crop Protector. 4.The hooked Crop Protector will be separated from the entire Crop Protector. 5. The rice transplanter will insert the hooked Crop Protector into the soil. 6. Crop Protector can protect the crops when the crop is growing. 7. Crop Protector will decompose and turn into nutrients to help crops grow.

-

Material Information: 1. Upper Half Material: Tea Seed Meal & Rice Bran - The tea seed meal not only can be used to prevent the intrusion by Mollusks have the mucus, but also can decompose and produce rich in nutrients to help crops grow. 2.Lower Part Material: Straw Fiber - Straw fiber can provide soil organically, and the nutritional elements will release after decomposition. It can supplement soil nutrients and have the function of adjusting soil temperature, which can improve the growth environment of crop roots and enhance crop growth.

-

Material Recycle: 1. Acquiring agricultural waste from farmers, and crushing the straw fiber, rice bran, and tea seed meal into Crop Protector. 2. Crop Protector can prevent crops been damaged from Pomacea Canaliculata and strong wind during the growth of the seedling. 3. After the harvest, collect the agricultural waste and re-make the Crop Protector. 4. Crop Protector decompose naturally into the soil and become the nutrients to help crops grow.

-

Packaging Design: The packaging material uses pulp, in addition to its basic anti-collision effect, it can be used directly as a tray for seedlings, and it can also be completely decomposed in the soil. This package cam not only protects Crop Protector but also reduces environmental pollution.
