<;P>;PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a closed-type plant factory solving the following major problem: vegetable to be cultivated limitedly comprises low length crops and thereby vegetable such as tomato or cucumber growing tall in a vertical direction can not be cultivated when cultivating the vegetable or the like because proximity irradiation of light from the side surface of a plant body is impossible in the closed-type plant factory. <;P>;SOLUTION: The closed-type plant factory is structured as follows: a plant cultivation container shelf and lighting shelves set up in the plant factory are formed to be movable so as to secure a working space for a worker only in working time, enable proximity irradiation of the light to the side surface of the plant when cultivating the plant, and enable cultivation of the plant regardless of the length thereof. <;P>;COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
