<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus for accelerating the growth of plants, useful for accelerating raising of plants. <P>SOLUTION: The apparatus for accelerating the growth of plants such as fruits and vegetables is provided for accelerating the growth of plants in a place where sunlight irradiation is insufficient. The apparatus includes a super-narrow band light irradiation means that has a peak wavelength between a visible light region and a far-infrared light region and a half-value width of 10 nm or less. The apparatus also includes a control means for controlling the irradiation time and the amount of irradiation light of the super-narrow band light irradiation means. The super-narrow band light irradiation means is disposed so that the emitted light is directed upward, and a convex mirror is disposed ahead of emitted light to irradiate a wide area with the reflection of the convex mirror. The wide area can be thus irradiated to uniformly irradiate all plants with super-narrow band light, thus accelerating the growth of plants. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
