Farming Systems Research Group
We conduct research on the evaluation of the impact of new technologies on the economy, farm consolidation, and the establishment of relationship with regional stakeholders.
Weed Management Group
We develop weed control methods and strategies to prevent noxious weeds from invading and spreading in farmlands.
Plant Production Group
We develop crop production management systems suitable for cultivation of rice, soybean and green manure crops.
Crop Rotation System Group
To achieve a highly productive crop rotation system in the Kanto region, we conduct studies to increase the productivity of rice, wheat, soybean and other crops. We also evaluate new crop rotation systems for that purpose.
Agricultural Machinery Group
We develop agricultural machineries to increase work efficiency and decrease labor cost for paddy field crop rotation system in the Kanto region.
Biomass Utilization Group
We develop thermal energy utilization technology using agricultural waste, and a low-labor and low-cost technology for collecting rice straw or plants.
Crop Rotation System Group for Tokai Region
We develop a stable and high-yielding rice-wheat-soybean crop rotation system suitable for paddy fields in the Tokai region encompassing Shizuoka, Aichi, Gifu and Mie Prefectures.
