An object of the present invention is to grow a crop seed toward sunlight without increasing the cultivation area, and further, by irradiating the inside of the seed of a crop-bearing crop with sufficient sunlight, the sugar content can be increased. Provided are a crop cultivation apparatus and a crop cultivation method that can obtain high crops. A support 2 which can be erected by burying a buried portion 4 formed in the vicinity of a lower end in a cultivation site G, and a support floor 14 which can pass sunlight and has a guide hole 17 And the seed F of the crop moved from below through the guide hole 17 can be placed on the upper surface of the support floor 14 and the middle part of the support 2 so that the portion other than the seed F of the crop is located below the support floor 14 , And a supporting floor 14 is attached to the support. [Selected figure] Figure 1【課題】栽培面積を増加させることなく作物の実を太陽光に向けて栽培することができ、しかも、ガクを有する作物の実のガクの内側に十分な太陽光が照射されることで糖度の高い作物を得ることができる作物栽培装置及び作物栽培方法を提供する。【解決手段】下端部近傍に形成した埋設部４を栽培地Ｇに埋設することで立設自在な支持具２と、太陽光を通過自在で且つ案内孔１７を備えた支持床１４と、からなり、支持床１４の上面に案内孔１７を通して下方から移動させた作物の実Ｆを載置自在で、支持床１４の下方に作物の実Ｆ以外の部分が位置するよう支持具２の中途部に支持床１４を装着して構成したことを特徴とする。【選択図】図１
