Cultivation Science Lab (Nakano)
Machine-translated · View original
Centered on root research, the lab works to deliver horticultural production technologies to production sites.
AboutAbout the lab
Enriching the world through horticultural innovation
Prof. Nakano pursues horticulture as a practical science and aims to implement the production technologies developed in research at production sites, with a global perspective.
The lab is distinguished by its research on the roots of horticultural crops, and works to establish a new field called "horticultural root science."
Starting from technology development for crop production in space, the lab aims to establish sustainable agriculture that can be put to use on Earth as well.
To expand the potential of horticultural crops, the lab is also advancing joint research with private companies.
Key terms
- Implementation
- Turning a technology developed in research into a form that can be used, and adopting it, at actual production sites.
- Horticultural root science
- A field of study that focuses on the roots of horticultural crops and applies that knowledge to production. Prof. Nakano aims to create this field.
- Sustainable agriculture
- Agriculture that can be continued into the future without depleting resources or damaging the environment.
