Agricultural Production Ecology (Farm) Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that uses the university farm as its experimental field to conduct research on crops and horticulture.
AboutAbout the lab
Tackling problems in agricultural practice with the farm as the experimental field.
The Agricultural Production Ecology (Farm) Lab uses the farm as its main experimental field and conducts research that contributes to the development of environmentally sustainable agriculture.
Another feature is that students can learn a wide range of specialized fields, from crops to horticulture.
The faculty members study the search for novel useful genes in soybean, genetic breeding and cultivation management of fruit trees, evaluation of waterlogging tolerance in crops, and the horticultural science of vegetables and flowers.
Key terms
- Waterlogging tolerance
- The ability of a crop to grow even in wet, waterlogged soil. It differs depending on the type of crop
- Genetic resources
- The various cultivars and lines of crops that are studied for their traits or used in breeding

Using the farm as its main experimental field, the lab takes up various problems in agricultural practice and works on basic and applied themes that contribute to the development of environmentally sustainable agriculture. Another feature is that students can learn specialized fields spanning both crops and horticulture.
*Illustrative imageSearching for useful genes in soybean and breeding
The aim is to improve not only cultivation traits but also taste, nutritional value, and functionality. The lab searches for novel useful genes using landraces and mutants, and works on research that applies them to breeding.
*Illustrative imageBreeding, cultivation, and processing of fruit trees
The lab conducts research on genetic breeding and cultivation management of fruit trees, and on fruit quality and processing. Student research includes work on fruit production and processed products of triploid pomelo cultivars.
*Illustrative imageEvaluating waterlogging tolerance in crops
The lab evaluates waterlogging tolerance in diverse genetic resources of soybean, barley, taro, and rice. On the farm, it also works on monitoring the cultivation environment and on cultivation with groundwater-table irrigation.
*Illustrative imageHorticultural science of vegetables and flowers
The research themes are vegetable science and floriculture. Listed research keywords include biological production, genetic resources, and Allium vegetables.
