PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a nursery cabinet to satisfactorily raise seedlings on a positioned floor by properly pressing the nursery cabinet along with preventing the deformation or damage of the nursery cabinet, when the nursery cabinet in which a plurality of cells are arranged longitudinally and laterally is pressed.SOLUTION: A nursery cabinet is configured in such a manner that a plurality of cells 121 are arranged longitudinally and laterally the upper edge of an outer peripheral part 122 of the nursery cabinet is provided at a position higher than the upper edges of the cells 121 and a space part 123 is communicated with each cell 121 above a plurality of the cells 121. In a method for installing the nursery cabinet, soil is filled and seeds are sowed in the cells 121 of the nursery cabinet 120, covering soil is supplied in the space part 123, and the nursery cabinet 120 supplied with the covering soil is installed by being pressed on the positioned floor. A pressing plate of the nursery cabinet is provided with a lower insertion part to be inserted to the space part 123 of the nursery cabinet 120 and an outer peripheral contact part to be in contact with the outer peripheral part 122 of the nursery cabinet 120 at a position higher than the lower insertion part.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】 本発明は、複数のセルを縦横に配列した育苗器を押圧する際、育苗器の変形や破損を防止して適正に押圧し、ひいては置床上で良好な育苗を行うことを課題とする。【解決手段】 複数のセル(121)を縦横に配列した育苗器において、セル(121)の上端より育苗器の外周縁部(122)の上端を高位にし、複数のセル(121)の上方に各々のセル(121)に連通する空間部(123)を構成した。また、育苗器(120)のセル(121)内に土詰め及び播種を行い、前記空間部(123)に覆土を供給し、覆土を供給した育苗器(120)を置床に押圧して敷設する育苗器の敷設方法とした。また、育苗器(120)の前記空間部(123)に入る下部挿入部と、下部挿入部よりも高位で育苗器(120)の前記外周縁部(122)に接触する外周接触部とを備える育苗器の押圧板とした。【選択図】図6
