A crop science lab that aims to increase crop yields and improve production techniques.
AboutAbout the lab
Aiming to increase crop yields and improve production techniques
The Crop Science Lab studies crops that serve as human food and industrial raw materials, aiming to increase yields and improve production techniques.
Its subjects are crops grown over wide areas of land that support people's food supply and livelihoods.
Amid changes such as global warming, soil degradation, and rural depopulation and aging, the lab aims to contribute to sustaining and advancing agricultural production.
The lab actively conducts surveys and research not only within the university and Japan but also overseas.
Key terms
- Farm field
- A paddy field or upland field where crops are grown. It serves as the site for surveys and cultivation experiments.
- Remote sensing
- A technology for examining the condition of a target from a distance using observation instruments. Here it is used to assess crop growth.
- Simulation model
- A model that expresses the mechanism of a phenomenon in mathematical equations in order to reproduce and predict outcomes on a computer.
