摘要： A cultivation floor system has a floor on which plant containers are to be placed. The system includes a watertight basin and a water-permeable structure in the basin, which structure has a permeable top cloth which forms the top side of the floor on which plant containers are placed. The structure includes one or more water-retaining layers. A watering installation supplies water so that water is available for the plants in the plant containers. A perforated film is placed between the permeable top cloth on the one hand and the one or more water-retaining layers on the other hand, which perforated film is made of impermeable film material which is provided with distributed perforations in such a manner that the film reduces the free evaporation surface for water from the one or more water-retaining layers.

摘要： A three-dimensional dynamic plant cultivating apparatus for plant cultivation mainly has an outer cover and a supporting member disposed in the outer cover and surrounded by a rail module. The rail module is further assembled with supporting plates for supporting a plant pot. Upon implementation of the invention, the rail module operates along a periphery of the supporting member, so that the plant pot can circulate upwards and downwards around the supporting member repeatedly and can be subjected to overall irradiation of a sun light source to contribute to growth of the planted material. Furthermore, a plant cultivating device, an illumination device and sensors are further connected together in the outer cover to form a timing-controlled and quantitative automatic cultivation environment advantageous to prompting of the growth of the planted material.

摘要： In the soil cultivation system (80) equipped with a solar panel, a light transmitting region (A) is provided in a solar panel (50), and thus a larger amount of light is captured into a frame unit and can thereby be utilized for the cultivation of agricultural plants (P1, P2). Double-sided light receiving solar cells (52) are adopted in the solar panel (50), and thus light reflected off an agricultural ground surface, the agricultural plants (P1, P2), a sheet-shaped member and the like can be effectively utilized for power generation. In this way, it is possible to compensate for a reduction in the area of the solar cells caused by the formation of the transmitting regions A, and it is possible to obtain a large amount of power generated while acquiring the amount of light on the agricultural plants.

摘要： Objects of the present invention are to provide a film for an agricultural greenhouse that can maintain a CO2 concentration necessary for the photosynthesis of plants even when ventilation is not performed and to provide an agricultural greenhouse using the film. The film for an agricultural greenhouse of the present invention is a cellulose film which contains a cellulose acylate resin and has an equilibrium moisture content of 4% to 8% at a temperature of 25° C., a relative humidity of 80% and a thickness of 60 to 200 μm.
