PLANT GROWING/STORING APPARATUS AND PLANT GROWING/STORING METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a plant growing/storing apparatus and a plant growing/storing method which can give illumination suitable for both growing and storing a seedling to the seedling. SOLUTION: The plant growing/storing apparatus is provided with a light source (illumination lamp 3a-3h), a controlling part (controlling computer 8) for controlling the lighting state of the light source, and a container (chamber 1) which accommodates the light source and a plant therein and can shield light from the outside, the controlling part controlling at the time of storing the plant a lighting time of the light source so that the integrated light quantity for the plant in a day is nearly equal to the integrated light quantity in a day in the case when light having light quantity at a light compensation point is continuously applied by repeating an on-off operation of the light source every predetermined hour under a condition such that uniformity ratio of illuminance of light from the light source at the time of bringing up the plant is maintained.
