A cultivation system moves containers between a growing area and a monitoring area. The containers hold cultivation beds for cultivating plants, and the cultivation system includes: a grow light emitting unit emitting grow light for growing the cultivated plants in the containers located in the growing area; an imaging unit capturing the cultivated plants in the containers located in the monitoring area; and a control unit causing the grow light emitting unit to stop emitting the grow light when the imaging unit captures the plants.

Cultivation system

An irrigation device includes: a nozzle discharging liquid; a cover preventing the liquid discharged from the nozzle from splattering around the container; and a moving mechanism moving the cover between a first position and a second position. When moved to the first position, the cover covers space above the container. When moved to the second position, the cover is removed from the space above the container and the space is uncovered. The moving mechanism moves the cover (i) to the first position when the liquid is supplied to a plant, and (ii) to the second position when the supplying of the liquid to the plant ends.

Plant cultivation system

In a plasma treatment apparatus for performing plasma treatment by accommodating a substrate in a treatment chamber, a fixed guideand a movable guidemade of a ceramic are arrayed in an X direction (in a substrate transporting direction) for guiding both side end portions of the substrate held on a ceramic-made mounting plate, and both end portions of the movable guideare supported by supporting members. In this construction, these supporting members are fitted to fixed membersA andB arranged in a Y direction with the mounting plateplaced therebetween, such that an interval in the Y direction is adjustable. Consequently, the ceramic-made guide membercan be mounted and demounted without directly bolting it, and it is possible to prevent the generation of an abnormal discharge by using as objects multiple product thin-type substrates with different widthwise dimensions.
