PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for cultivating leaf vegetables with high yield, the method being capable of increasing the content of folic acid in plants to be cultivated without requiring pH adjustment and sterilization step.SOLUTION: According to the present invention, there is provided a method for cultivating leaf vegetables by supplying a nutrient solution. Here, guanosine is added to the nutrient solution. The amount of guanosine added is 0.001 to 3 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the nutrient solution. A planting panel plate 51 with a large number of drilled planting holes 52 is placed on an inclined cultivating bed tank 53. A hydrophilic sheet is disposed on the upper surface side of the bottom surface of the cultivation bed tank. The nutrient solution is supplied to the upper surface side of the bottom surface of the cultivation bed tank to grow leaf vegetables.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3COPYRIGHT: (C)2018,JPO&INPIT【課題】pH調整や、殺菌の工程などを必要とせず、栽培する植物中の葉酸含有量を高めることができるとともに、収穫量が高い葉菜類の栽培方法を提供する。【解決手段】養液を供給して葉菜類を栽培する方法であって、前記養液はグアノシンが添加されたものであることを特徴とする植物栽培方法。グアノシンの添加量は、養液100質量部に対して0.001~3質量部である。勾配をもたせた栽培ベット槽53の上に、多数の植え穴52を穿設した定植パネル板51を配置し、前記栽培ベット槽の底面の上面側に親水性シートを配置し、該栽培ベット槽の底面の上面側に前記養液を供給して葉菜類を栽培する。【選択図】図3
