2022-05-11 Field experiment training “Planting”

The second photo shows the students listening to explanations from Professor Motobayashi Takashi and technical staff after a lecture on how to use a hoe.
Everyone has a very serious look on their face.

First, Wang learns how to plant summer vegetable seedlings.
Carefully planted one by one, the seedlings of eggplant, peppers, and tomatoes lined up neatly.

Photos 4 to 7 show the work of covering the seedlings with a protective sheet.

The wind that blows on the farm during this season can reach speeds of up to 15 m/s.
Be sure to protect the newly planted seedlings so they don't break.

Stretching the sheet straight and neatly is a difficult task if you are not used to it.
Everyone is working hard through trial and error.

Just cover the edges with soil to prevent the sheet from blowing away in the wind, and you're done!

After learning how to plant seedlings, we moved around the field.
In the fields in photos 8 to 10, each team of four people uses a 3m x 5m field to grow their own summer vegetables.

In addition to the tomato and cucumber seedlings that were distributed, everyone prepared their own seedlings and seeds, including corn, okra, and edamame.
The dogs were carefully carved and planted while receiving advice from technical staff.

I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of vegetables we can grow in the fields we will manage from now on.
Wang will harvest the vegetables in mid-July and present his ideas and reflections in class.

In the field experiments and training, in addition to farming, you can learn a wide range of things, such as rice cultivation, fruit tree management, dairy cow management, and food processing.
In addition to students from Department of Biological Production, first-year students from Department of Applied Biological Science and Department of Ecoregion Science will also take part in the farm training.
