Abstract: A hydroponic cultivation system includes a plurality of seedbeds, a hanging part, and a transport mechanism. A plurality of seedlings of a plant to be cultivated is transplanted to side surfaces of the plurality of seedbeds. The hanging part hangs each of the plurality of seedbeds while the plurality of seedbeds is arranged in a predetermined horizontal direction from a planting side of the seedlings to a harvesting side of the seedlings. The transport mechanism transports the plurality of seedbeds in the predetermined horizontal direction while widening spaces between the seedbeds in the predetermined horizontal direction in a stepwise or continuous manner.

Abstract: A hydroponic system (1) is provided with a light-collecting apparatus (3) having a pair of reflecting plates (31a) that are vertically arranged in parallel with a culture surface (23) of a culture panel (21) of a hydroponic unit (2). During a process in which natural light taken from a light-collecting opening (30) propagates while repeatedly reflected by opposing reflecting surfaces of a reflecting plates (31a), by allowing seedlings p that are transplanted into the culture panel (21) to be irradiated with the light through a light-emitting hole (32) bored in the reflecting plate (31a), a culture object can be grown efficiently at a low cost by taking natural light from the outside.

Abstract: [Object] To provide a hydroponic cultivation system that is capable of transporting a seedbed with a simple mechanism and has excellent durability. [Solving Means] A hydroponic cultivation system includes a plurality of seedbeds, a hanging part, and a transport mechanism. A plurality of seedlings of a plant to be cultivated are transplanted to side surfaces of the plurality of seedbeds. The hanging part hangs each of the plurality of seedbeds while the plurality of seedbeds are arranged in a predetermined horizontal direction from a planting side of the seedlings to a harvesting side of the seedlings. The transport mechanism transports the plurality of seedbeds in the predetermined horizontal direction while widening spaces between the seedbeds in the predetermined horizontal direction in a stepwise or continuous manner.

Abstract: [Object] To suppress the variations in the growth of cultivation products to perform stable production, and reduce the power cost for applying artificial light. [Solving Means] A hydroponic cultivation system includes a hydroponic cultivation unit, a daylighting apparatus, an artificial light application apparatus, a daylighting sensor, and a control apparatus. The hydroponic cultivation unit includes a seedbed, a seedling of a plant to be cultivated being transplanted to the seedbed. The daylighting apparatus takes natural light through a daylighting port into a light emitting surface facing the seedbed, and emits the light from the light emitting surface toward the seedling. The artificial light application apparatus applies artificial light to the seedling. The daylighting sensor is provided at a position apart from the seedbed, and detects a light amount of the natural light emitted from the light emitting surface.

Abstract: Provided is a light reflecting plate capable of reducing glare of reflected light while maintaining high light reflectance by regular reflection. The light reflecting plate includes a base, a light reflecting layer that is formed on the base and made of silver or silver alloy, or aluminum or aluminum alloy, in which arithmetic average roughness (Ra) is 0.10 to 0.30 ?m and arithmetic average waviness (Wa) is 0.30 to 2.50 ?m on a surface of the light reflecting layer.
