AGRICULTURAL PLANT, AGRICULTURAL PLANT FACILITY, AND METHOD FOR CULTIVATING PLANTS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an agricultural plant and an agricultural plant facility, and a method for cultivating plants which are capable of further improving productivity in cultivation of plants by using an underground space.SOLUTION: An agricultural plant 1 comprises: an underground space (tunnel) 5 extending in an approximately horizontal direction; a plant cultivation bed 8 arranged in an underground space 5; and conveyance means 11 which is provided in the underground space 5 and for conveying the plant cultivation bed 8 in a predetermined direction (an extending direction of tunnel) in the underground space 5 corresponding to a growth stage of plants raised on the plant cultivation bed 8. Different growth environments on each growth stage can be applied at a position before/after conveyance of the plant cultivation bed 8, so that plants grow ideally, and a plant stock larger than conventional one can be harvested. Further, as a result of conveyance of the plant cultivation bed 8, plants on the same growth stage always exist at any position in a predetermined direction, so that necessary farm work at the position is simplified to improve labor efficiency, and furthermore, mechanization and automation are also made possible.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
