A lab that considers agriculture and the environment through crop cultivation.

AboutAbout the lab
Considering agriculture and the environment through crop cultivation
The lab conducts research aimed at developing sustainable crop production technologies that are in harmony with the environment.
Based on research in fields inside and outside the center, it explores the environment, especially the relationship between soil and plants.
Agriculture is not free of environmental impact either, and it is required to enhance soil productivity and the sustainability of crop production while reducing environmental impact.
The lab is located at the Field Science Center, Graduate School of Agricultural Science, Tohoku University, in Naruko Onsen, Osaki City, Miyagi Prefecture.
Key terms
- Soil productivity
- The ability of soil to grow crops. It needs to be enhanced while reducing environmental impact
- Organic farming
- One of the paddy-field farming techniques aimed at conserving ecosystems. The lab continues various surveys on it
- Winter flooding
- A rice-growing method in which paddy fields are kept flooded through the winter. Also called fuyumizu tanbo, it is considered effective for conserving waterbirds
ResearchResearch themes
As environmental problems become more serious on a global scale, agriculture is no exception in terms of environmental impact, and it is required to enhance soil productivity and the sustainability of crop production while reducing that impact. Based on research in fields inside and outside the center, the lab studies the environment, especially the relationship between soil and plants.
