Cultivation system

A cultivation system which moves containers between a growing area holding the containers and a monitoring area, the containers holding cultivation beds for cultivating plants, the monitoring area being for monitoring the plants and arranged separately from the growing area, the cultivation system comprising:

• a grow light emitting unit configured to emit grow light which is light for growing the cultivated plants in the containers located in the growing area;
• an imaging unit configured to capture the cultivated plants in the containers located in the monitoring area;
• an imaging light emitting unit configured to emit imaging light to the cultivated plants in the containers located in the monitoring area, the imaging light having a first spectrum which differs from a second spectrum output by the grow light;
• a control unit configured to cause the grow light emitting unit to stop emitting a portion of the grow light when the imaging unit captures the cultivated plants,
• wherein the grow light emitting unit includes:
• a first grow light emitting unit configured to emit the grow light to a part of the growing area which is close to the monitoring area;
• and
• a second grow light emitting unit configured to emit the grow light to a part of the growing area which is more distant from the monitoring area than from the first grow light emitting unit,
• wherein the first grow light emitting unit is capable of emitting and stopping the grow light independently of the second grow light emitting unit, and
• wherein the control unit is configured to cause the first grow light emitting unit to stop emitting the grow light when the imaging unit captures the cultivated plants, and to cause the second grow light emitting unit to emit the grow light when the imaging unit captures the cultivated plants.
