The cultivation panel that has been set is moved to the storage shelf 22 (area 2) in the low light zone (bright zone) using the moving means, and is placed in the storage shelf 22 for a predetermined time, and then, using the moving means, It is moved to the storage shelf 24 (area 4) in the dark zone, where it is left in the dark zone for a predetermined time. This is repeated alternately many times, and after a predetermined number of days has elapsed, the work area is returned to the first work area 80 (germination and seedling termination). Here, the cultivation pot is transferred to a cultivation panel with a wide stock interval. At the same time, those with poor seedling growth are thinned out. The work is done manually.

And stored for a predetermined time. This is because the best environment for growing plants is artificially created to efficiently grow plants. In addition, the nutrient solution is supplied to the cultivation panel from the nutrient solution unit when the moving means is operated. After a predetermined number of days have passed by repeating the movement between the storage shelves, the plants that have completed the predetermined breeding are transported to the product take-out area 90, where they are harvested as products.
