The nutrient solution is sprayed directly into the mist form.

Accordingly, the nutrient solution sprayed in the form of mist is supplied to the root portion of seedlings and absorbed by seedlings. As a result, various nutritional ingredients contained in the nutrient solution are supplied to the seedlings to help the seedlings grow.

6 and 7, the ginseng cultivation device of the second embodiment includes a humidity sensor 70 for sensing humidity of the cultivation room 22 and a cultivation room 22 input from the humidity sensor 70. It is provided with a controller 72 for controlling the nutrient solution supply device 30 in accordance with the humidity.

The controller 72 includes a microprocessor. When the humidity of the cultivation chamber 22 is input from the humidity sensor 70, the humidity of the input cultivation chamber 22 is set in advance to "first reference humidity." Determine if less than As a result of the determination, if it is smaller than the "first reference humidity", it is determined that the humidity of the cultivation chamber 22 is low, and the nutrient solution supply device 30 is turned on.

Therefore, the nutrient solution is pumped in the nutrient solution supply device 30 to be supplied to the cultivation chamber 22. This makes it possible to increase the humidity of the culture chamber 22.

In addition, the controller 2 determines whether the humidity of the cultivation room 22 input from the humidity sensor 70 is greater than the "second reference humidity" higher than the "first reference humidity". As a result of the determination, when it is larger than the "second reference humidity", it is determined that the humidity of the cultivation chamber 22 is high, and the nutrient solution supply device 30 is turned off.

Therefore, the nutrient solution injected into the cultivation chamber 22 is blocked. As a result, the humidity of the cultivation room 22 is limited to be raised above the reference value, so that the humidity of the cultivation room 22 is always maintained at a constant state.

The ginseng cultivation apparatus of the second embodiment differs only in the above-described configuration, and the other parts are the same as those of the first embodiment described above. Therefore, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Next, a ginseng cultivation method using the ginseng cultivation apparatus of the second embodiment having such a configuration will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 8.

And the light energy of the LED lamp 42 irradiated to seedlings doubles the growth of seedlings while promoting the chlorophyll action, photosynthesis action and elongation effect of seedlings. As a result, seedlings grow rapidly and grow faster, and high quality ginseng can be harvested early.

On the other hand, in the process of supplying the nutrient solution to the medium 24, the internal temperature of the cultivation tank 20 is appropriately heated or cooled according to the temperature of the outside air (S207). For example, in summer, the cultivation room 22 is cooled, and in winter, the cultivation room 22 is heated.

Thereby, the temperature of the cultivation room 22 can be made to the optimal state, and the growth environment of ginseng can be kept constant regardless of season. As a result, seedlings grow rapidly at a constant rate regardless of the season.

And in the process of irradiating the light energy of the LED lamp 42 to the seedlings, the LED lamp 42 to reciprocate with respect to the seedlings (S209).

Then, the light energy of the LED lamp 42 is uniformly supplied to each seedlings settled in the cultivation tank 20. As a result, even without using a large number of LED lamps 42 can supply uniform light energy to the ginseng of the cultivation tank 20 to save energy.

On the other hand, in the process of growing seedlings, after sensing the humidity of the cultivation room 22 (S211), if the humidity of the cultivation room 22 is less than the "first reference humidity", the nutrient solution in the cultivation room 22 By further spraying (S213) to increase the humidity of the cultivation room 22 makes the humidity of the cultivation room 22 to an optimal state.

On the contrary, when the humidity of the cultivation chamber 22 is larger than the "second reference humidity" higher than the "first reference humidity", the injection of the nutrient solution is stopped (S215). This restricts the humidity of the cultivation chamber 22 from excessively rising.

And if the supply of nutrient solution and light energy continues for a certain period of time, seedlings grow rapidly and mature into ginseng, and this mature ginseng will have a size of 4 years old ginseng in about 4 to 5 months. That is, it is possible to harvest a ginseng of 4 years old size within 4 to 5 months (S217).
