Abstract
A plant cultivation apparatus including a conveyor that contains a conveying device for a cultivation bed and a blowing means that sends a flow of air to plants on the cultivation bed on the conveying device. The plant cultivation apparatus is provided with a space for causing the flow of air to pass between the cultivation bed adjacent in a conveying direction and pass through a bottom surface of the conveying device.
Claims21
A plant cultivation apparatus comprising:
- a conveyor that includes a conveying device for a cultivation bed;
- and
- a blowing means that sends a flow of air to plants on the cultivation bed on the conveying device,
- wherein the plant cultivation apparatus is provided with a space for causing the flow of air to pass between the cultivation bed adjacent in a conveying direction and pass through a bottom surface of the conveying device.
A plant cultivation apparatus comprising:
- a conveyor that includes a conveying device for a cultivation bed;
- and
- a blowing means that applies a flow of air to plants on the cultivation bed on the conveying device from above,
- wherein the plant cultivation apparatus includes lighting devices that emit light toward the plants on the cultivation bed, and
- wherein a blower duct is disposed between at least some of the lighting devices.
