PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for cultivating Lamiaceae plants that can increase rosmarinic acid contained in Lamiaceae plants. In the process of cultivating Lamiaceae plants, rosmarinic acid contained in the Lamiaceae plants is increased by irradiating the Lamiaceae plants with blue monochromatic light at a constant time in the dark period. Plant cultivation method. Further, the irradiation time of the blue monochromatic light is 1 to 12 hours in total. Furthermore, the irradiation amount of the blue monochromatic light is 50 to 300 μmol− 2 s −1 . Further, the irradiation with the blue monochromatic light is performed 3 to 14 days before the harvest date of the Labiatae plant. [Selection] Figure 1 |
