PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suitably observe plants in a cultivation system.SOLUTION: In this cultivation system 100, a plurality of containers 200 storing a cultivation bed for cultivating plants are moved between a growth area 301 and an observation area 302. The system includes: a growth light irradiation means 109 for irradiating growth light which is light for growth to the plant cultivated in the container 200 disposed in the growth area 301 an imaging means 142 for imaging the plant cultivated in the container 200 disposed in the observation area 302 and a control means 105 for controlling the growth light irradiating means 109 to stop the irradiation of the growth light when the imaging means 142 takes a picture.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】栽培システムにおいて植物を適切に観察する。【解決手段】植物を栽培するための栽培床を収容する複数の容器200を生育領域301と観察領域302との間で移動させる栽培システム100であって、生育領域301に配置される容器200に栽培される植物に生育用の光である生育光を照射する生育光照射手段109と、観察領域302に配置される容器200に栽培される植物を撮像する撮像手段142と、撮像手段142が撮像をする際に、生育光照射手段109を制御して生育光の照射を停止させる制御手段105とを備える。【選択図】図2
