Crop Production & Physiology Division
We are conducting research on low-carbon cultivation techniques for food crops, digital growth monitoring technologies, and cultivation methods for stable production to respond to environmental changes.
We are conducting research on low-carbon cultivation techniques for food crops, digital growth monitoring technologies, and cultivation methods for stable production to respond to environmental changes. - Development and dissemination of non-puddling paddy rice cultivation
- Expansion of development and field dissemination of low-carbon non-puddling paddy rice cultivation
- Reduces operation period by 5-6 days compared to conventional cultivation, with improvements in water quality and reductions in greenhouse gas emissions
- Installment of rice health diagnostic platform based on images and A.I.
- Installment of image-based rice health monitoring equipment and an integrated analysis platform for nationwide crop survey sites and observation plots
- Practical use of image-based crop growth measurement method with artificial intelligence (AI) in rice paddy field
- Development and dissemination of stable cultivation techniques for floury rice to reduce pre-harvest sprouting
- Development and dissemination of transplanting and direct-seeding techniques to improve yield of floury rice
- Development of pre-harvest sprouting prediction models and provision of early warning services, and development of molybdenum fertilizers to reduce pre-harvest sprouting
- Analysis of damage patterns caused by climate change and weather disasters, and development of corresponding mitigation technologies
- Study on rice growth and physiological responses under abnormal weather conditions, including high temperatures, low sunlight, and ozone exposure
- Development of mitigation mechanisms and treatment technologies for heat and low-light damage using biostimulants
