1. Analysis of root elongation response of leafy vegetables to oyster shell application and its effect on a wide variety of crops.
2. Study and evaluation of effective use of organic waste (biomass-based recyclable resources and renewable waste) for agricultural land and other purposes.
3. Flow analysis of heavy metals associated with biomass energy crop cultivation using sludge compost.
4. Improved growth and component accumulation of functional plants by controlling medium nutrient conditions.
5. Environmental cleanup using plants
6. Organic farming

We are working to elucidate the functions of plant nutrients and their effective utilization, as well as to conserve nutrient environments based on nutrient cycling.
Recently, we have had more and more opportunities to conduct experiments in farmers’ fields and other locations, and we have been working on this with great interest.
We enjoy organic farming and the use of oyster shell fertilizer in the cultivation of various crops.

We would like to work with local farmers of various soil types, including those who grow agricultural products through organic agriculture, to conduct research for branding based on numerical data from component analysis and analysis of flavor and other ingredients.
We would like to devise ways to make it possible to efficiently absorb fertilizer components that are not effective.

We are also engaged in research with farmers growing in various soil types, including agricultural products from organic farming, by analyzing and analyzing components such as flavor.
