PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an agricultural sonic irradiation system that uniformly applies sound waves to agricultural products widely planted in a field.SOLUTION: According to the present invention, an agricultural sonic irradiation system X comprises a sonic irradiation unit 1, a drive mechanism 2, a rail 3, and legs 4. The sonic irradiation unit 1 applies sound waves at an ultrasonic band or audible band. The drive mechanism 2 moves the sonic irradiation unit 1 so that sound waves are applied to each of a plurality of plants 5 to be cultivated. The rail 3 movably holds the sonic irradiation unit 1 in a direction along the arrangement of the plants 5 in a state where the sound wave is applied from above the plants 5. The legs 4 allow the rail 3 to bridge therebetween so that the sonic irradiation unit 1 is adjustably held at a specific height from the plants 5.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】圃場に広範囲に植えられた農作物に対して、均一に音波を照射する農業用音波照射システムを提供する。【解決手段】農業用音波照射システムＸは、音波照射部１と、駆動機構２と、レール３と、脚部４とを備える。音波照射部１は、超音波帯域又は可聴帯域の音波を照射する。駆動機構２は、栽培対象となる複数の植物体５のそれぞれに対して音波が照射されるよう、音波照射部１を移動させる。レール３は、植物体５の上方から音波が照射される状態で、植物体５の配置方向に沿って音波照射部１を移動可能に保持させる。脚部４は、音波照射部１が植物体５から特定の高さに調整可能に保持されるようレール３を架設する。【選択図】図１
