MEMBER FOR HYDROPONICS CULTURE, APPARATUS AND METHOD THEREFOR

PURPOSE: To provide a hydroponics apparatus capable of making a culture solution uniformly flow down in a culture medium filled in a vertical type container capable of minimizing an area required for the hydroponics culture and further minimizing the circulating flow rate of the culture solution. CONSTITUTION: This hydroponics culture apparatus is constituted of a hydroponics culture member 10, sandwiching a thin culture medium 16, comprising a sheet of paper, making a culture solution flow down, placing root parts of cultivated plants thereon and formed into the shape of a belt between two films 12 and 14, having a greater width than that of the thin culture medium 16, formed into the shape of a belt, capable of being mutually brought into close contact with water films applied onto the surfaces, having both lateral sides 18 and 20 thereof, mutually brought into close contact with liquid films and superposed so as to support stem parts of the cultivated plants having the root parts placed on the thin culture medium 16, integrating the films 12 and 14 with the thin culture medium 16 and hung from hooks 26 and 26 so as to direct a feed port for feeding the culture solution to the thin culture medium 16 upward in the hydroponics culture apparatus used for the hydroponics culture.
