Embodiment approach 1

[0049] The cultivation system according to Embodiment 1 shown below is used in the greening process among the processes of sowing, germination, greening, seedling selection, seedling raising, seedling transplanting, cultivation, and harvesting in a plant factory. The greening process is a step of leaving the sown container in a dark room for 2 days to germinate, then leaving the container in a greening room for 4 days, and irradiating the sprouts with light in the greening room to make greening.

[0050] First, the cultivation unit for housing the seedlings of the plants P will be described. figure 1 It is a perspective view which shows an example of the cultivation unit 1 which accommodates the plant P of Embodiment 1. As shown in FIG. The cultivation unit 1 includes: a plant P; a medium B for cultivating the plant P; and two sets of cultivation trays 11 that accommodate the plant P and the medium B in parallel.

[0051] The cultivation tray 11 is a rectangular dish made of ...

Embodiment approach 2

[0120] In Embodiment 2, the structure which performs seedling selection collectively by the cultivation apparatus 10 on the last day of a greening process is employ|adopted.

[0121] The structure of the cultivation system of Embodiment 2 is the same as that of the system of Embodiment 1 except for the structure of the transplanting part related to seedling selection described below, and therefore, the detailed description will be omitted with the same reference numerals for common structures.

[0122] Figure 11 It is a perspective view which shows an example of the cultivation tray 8 used for seedling selection in Embodiment 2. The cultivation tray 8 is made of, for example, expanded styrene and has a flat plate shape, and has holes 81 arranged in multiple rows in each of the vertical and horizontal directions. Each hole 81 is comprised so that the seedbed part which cut|disconnected the culture medium B can be accommodated without gap. Specifically, each of the holes 81 i...

Abstract

Provided is a cultivation system, whereby it becomes possible to improve and uniformize the quality of plant bodies cultivated in a plant production factory and to achieve cost reduction. A cultivation system equipped with: multiple cultivation containers, each of which accommodates plant bodies and a culture medium for cultivating the plant bodies and is provided with a recording medium for recording identification information that is used for identifying each of the plant bodies; a cultivation shelf, in which multiple shelf plates respectively having the cultivation containers placed thereon are arranged at predetermined space intervals; light sources, each of which emits vegetating light over the upper surface of each of the shelf plates; and a conveyance device for conveying the cultivation containers between the multiple shelf plates. In the cultivation system, each of the cultivation containers can accommodate multiple plant bodies and is equipped with a recording unit for recording, on the recording medium, identification information that is used for identifying each of the accommodated multiple plant bodies. The cultivation system is additionally equipped with: an inspection unit which has an accommodation section in which one or more of the cultivation containers are accommodated, wherein the inspection unit can inspect each of the multiple plant bodies accommodated in the cultivation container or the cultivation containers placed in the accommodation unit; and a recording unit which can record the result of the inspection of each of the plant bodies, which is obtained by the inspection unit, on the recording medium provided in the cultivation container or each of the cultivation containers in connection with the identification information for the corresponding plant body.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a cultivation system used in a plant factory for cultivating plants in indoor facilities, and more particularly to a cultivation system capable of improving the quality, homogenization, and cost reduction of cultivated plants. Background technique [0002] In recent years, the operation of plant factories that grow plants in indoor facilities is increasing. Plants grown in a plant factory can be used not only for edible vegetables, but also for various purposes such as food processing, medicine, and ornamental use. In a plant factory, in an environment where the temperature and humidity suitable for the growth of the plant are maintained, seeding into the cultivation container, germination by nutrient supply from the medium in the container, and light irradiation from a light source such as a fluorescent lamp or LED, Afforestation, seedling raising, cultivation, and harvesting. Vegetables cultivated in plant factories...
