The present invention relates to a device and a method for measuring crop growth information using a crop inducing line made of optical fibers. The present invention provides the device and method for measuring crop growth information, wherein the device comprises: an optical fiber wound on a crop stem to be installed; a photographing unit photographing an image of the optical fiber; and an analysis unit analyzing the image photographed by the photographing unit. The analysis unit measures the length of a crop based on lengths of visible and invisible parts of the optical fiber in the image photographed by the photographing unit. 본 발명은 광섬유로 이루어진 작물 유인줄을 이용한 작물의 측정 장치 및 측정방법에 관한 것으로, 본 발명은, 작물 줄기에 감겨 설치될 수 있는 광섬유; 상기 광섬유의 영상을 촬영하는 촬영부; 및 상기 촬영부에서 촬영된 상기 영상을 분석하는 분석부;를 포함하며, 상기 분석부는 상기 촬영부에서 촬영된 상기 영상에서, 상기 광섬유의 가시부분과 비가시부분의 길이에 기초하여 상기 작물의 길이를 측정하는 작물 생육 정보 측정장치 및 이를 이용한 측정방법을 제공한다.
