PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a supporting tool for fruit vegetable stem, free from the need of performing branch twisting work which requires skill when folding back and cultivating stems and vines of fruit vegetables such as tomato and cucumber, having good operability, free from becoming bulky, and capable of reducing cost.SOLUTION: A supporting tool 1 for fruit vegetable stem is such that a stem holding part 2 thereof has a U shape width direction cross section, and both the end parts 2a of the bottom of the stem holding part 2 for placing and hanging leaves are set with curve downwardly so as to curve without damaging stems when stems downwardly fold back, and a hook part 3 is unitedly formed upwardly on the central part each of both the sides of the stem holding part 2, and a guide part 3a which extends inclinedly downward toward the outside direction is set on the upper part of an opening part 4 for taking in and out an attracting wire of the hook part 3. Furthermore, a projecting part 3b for preventing removal of an attracting wire is set on the lower part of the opening part 4 for taking in and out an attracting wire, and a recessed part 3c for holding branches is set near the base part of the opposite side of the opening part 4.COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT【課題】トマト、キュウリ等の果菜類の茎や蔓を折り返し栽培する際に、熟練を要する捻枝作業をする必要がなく、作業性が良く、嵩張らず、コストも低減できる果菜茎等支持具を提供する。【解決手段】果菜茎等支持具1の茎保持部2は、幅方向の断面がU字状となっており、葉を載せ掛ける茎保持部2の底面の両端部2aは、下方向へ曲がりを設けて、茎が下方向に折り返すときに茎を傷めずに曲がるようにしている。茎保持部2の両側中央部には、上方向にフック部3が一体に形成されており、フック部3の誘引線出し入れ開口部4の上部には外方向に向かって斜め下方向に延出するガイド部3aが設けられている。誘引線出し入れ開口部4の下部には、誘引線離脱防止用の突出部3bが設けられている。さらに、誘引線出し入れ開口部4とは反対側の基部近くに、枝等保持用の凹部3cが設けられている。【選択図】図1
