Rice Harvest

Our lab has successfully completed this season’s rice harvest as part of our ongoing field experiments. This year’s research focused on applying bio-microbial products for soil treatment, improving the root environment, and boosting crop resilience while reducing chemical dependency. These trials contribute to advancing Low-Emission and Circular Agriculture, Regenerative Agriculture and Soil Conservation, as well as High-Value Green Agriculture aligned with ESG standards.

This hands-on field experience provided invaluable insights into trial management and strengthened our teamwork. We sincerely thank our Senseis for guidance and all students for hard work, and we look forward to positive research outcomes!

Rice Harvest and Field Cleanup Activity

Our lab successfully completed the rice harvest for this season as part of our ongoing field experiments. Following the harvest, students and researchers worked together to clean and prepare the field for the next year research activities. This hands-on experience provided valuable insights into field management practices and strengthened our teamwork in agricultural research.
