Despite the cold and rainy weather, the students of the laboratory braved the elements and ventured out to collect samples of soybeans for their research work. Equipped with their tools and equipment, the students carefully selected the soybean samples. They documented each sample, noting down their origin, growth conditions, and any other relevant data that could be useful for their research. Despite the challenging conditions, the students worked tirelessly, driven by their passion for science and their commitment to furthering our understanding of soybeans and their potential benefits.

The day of the Muramatsu field center's seeder preparation for the "Enrei" soybean variety.


Field trip 2023-5-25

On the designated day, we diligently worked to distribute a nourishing layer of compost across the entirety of the experimental field situated at the esteemed Muramatsu field center. Our efforts were focused on ensuring that the designated plots would be enriched with the necessary nutrients, thereby promoting healthy growth and yielding bountiful results. In order to determine which treatments are most effective, we will conduct a thorough comparison between the treatments being used, as well as deep placement fertilizer and NPK, which will be applied to other plots. This will allow us to gather comprehensive data and make informed decisions on the best course of action moving forward.


Field trip 2023-5-16

Recently, we had the opportunity to go on a field trip with laboratory students to Muramatsu ST. Our primary objective was to conduct a detailed analysis of the soil in field number 8. To accomplish this, we utilized a soil analyzer machine called Veris (USA). With the help of this advanced technology, we were able to collect and analyze a plethora of data related to the soil composition, texture, and other important parameters. It was an enriching experience that taught us a lot about the intricacies of soil analysis and the importance of accurate data collection. Overall, it was an incredible opportunity to learn and grow as a scientist.
