Abstract
Recently, there is a problem of the steady supply of food therefore plant factory has been establishing and takes off in world wide countries. In the plant factory, the growing environment can be controlled and the crop can also be controlled. The products are growing in an enclosed environment, therefore agricultural chemicals has no use. Secure and safe food producing system can be constructed. However, efficient production formula for the plant (for example vegetable) is not defined well. It is an effective way to control the growing environmental factors using physiology information which are directly obtained from the vegetable. The chlorophyll fluorescence is used as evaluation of plant condition. It is necessary to clarify the bioelectric potential in the growth condition of the plant. In this study, we examined the relationship between the chlorophyll fluorescence and the plant bioelectric potential in bad condition. The plant in spraying chemical herbicides was assumed as the condition. In future, plant physiological function and environmental response can be understood by directly monitoring the bioelectric potential.
