Agricultural Labor Force Support Center / Sakurajima Net 21-In the Kagoshima Prefectural Agricultural and Rural Promotion Association, the scale of agricultural corporations is expanding to cope with the labor shortage in the agricultural field due to population decline and aging. On April 25, 2018, Kagoshima Prefecture will provide comprehensive support for securing a labor force, such as introducing agricultural human resources necessary for diversification and measures to reduce the labor force using AI, etc. It seems that they have set up an “Agricultural Labor Support Center”. The outline of the business is to hold liaison meetings, unify recruitment and job search information, match, study mechanisms that complement each other's labor force such as contracted agricultural work, collect and provide information on smart agriculture such as labor-saving machines and IoT, and foreign technical intern training system. Information gathering and provision such as, and other necessary matters for securing a labor force. Technical intern training system with peace of mind for agricultural corporations in the prefecture (Technical intern training system is “Act on Proper Implementation of Technical Intern Training for Foreigners and Protection of Technical Intern Trainees (Technical Intern Training Law: Law Number: November 28, 2016) Foreign Technical Intern Training Program based on Law No. 89) ” : Authorized Corporation Foreign Technical Intern Training Organization, Date of Establishment (Registration Date of Establishment of Corporation), January 25, 2017, Law on Grounds for Establishment, Technical Intern Training for Foreigners Law Concerning Proper Implementation and Protection of Technical Intern Trainees (2016 Law No. 89), Minister of Justice, Minister of Justice and Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare, Location, Headquarters: 3-9-15, LOOP-X, 3rd floor, Minato Ward, Tokyo) The Kagoshima Prefectural Agricultural Technical Intern Training Program Appropriate Promotion Council was established on May 31, 2018 in order to contribute to international contributions through the revitalization of Kagoshima Prefecture's agriculture and rural areas and the development of foreign human resources. is doing. The main business contents are discussion meetings with related organizations, workshops on technical intern training programs for agricultural corporations, consultation response, information provision and collection from agricultural corporations in the prefecture (as needed).

Internationalization of agriculture. As it is said that the movement of the world is directly linked to the agricultural production site, it is already globalized. Extremely detailed agricultural observations from an international perspective, such as the shapes of raw materials and products, processes such as production, sales, distribution, and consumption, are indispensable for management strategy. As for the structure of the bearers of agricultural production, the composition of aging and mixed living in rural areas and the shortage of bearers can be seen in most agricultural municipalities nationwide. It's not something that started now. It is positioned as a premise in every municipality. Pursuing the safety of agricultural products, the demand for safe agricultural products such as reduced pesticides and reduced chemical fertilizers is becoming more and more interesting to consumers year by year. Furthermore, in terms of policy, a system to respond to them, such as the revision of the JAS Law, has been institutionally established.  Combined with that, the health and nature orientation of city dwellers can be mentioned. In order to maintain health, not only the pursuit of safe agricultural products as food, but also the movement toward nature for mental health and the return to nature are becoming prominent at the citizen level. The fact that agriculture is being pursued as a medium, such as the use of tourist farms and tourism, is increasing. Food, Agriculture and Rural Area Basic Law: 1999 Law No. 106. Agricultural Policy Basic Law to replace the Agricultural Basic Law. Promote comprehensive and systematic measures related to food, agriculture and rural areas, improve the stability of people's lives and sound the national economy. Defined basic principles and basic plans for the purpose of achieving various developments. (Sustainable development of agriculture) Article 4: Regarding agriculture, the importance of the function of supplying food and other agricultural products and the multi-functionality of agriculture. Agricultural natural circulation function (agriculture) is established, and a desirable agricultural structure is established by efficiently combining these according to the characteristics of the region. Agricultural activities depend on the circulation of organism-mediated substances in the natural world, and the function to promote them must be maintained and promoted to achieve sustainable development. Rural promotion: Article 5 In the case of rural areas, food and other agricultural products possessed by agriculture are considered to play a role as the basis for the sustainable development of agriculture because agriculture is carried out in the places of living of local residents including farmers. In order for the supply function and multi-functionality of the agricultural system to be properly and fully exerted, it must be promoted by improving agricultural production conditions, living environment, and other welfare. Nowadays, the framework of agricultural policy is undergoing a major shift, and the policy of unifying agricultural production based on the old law has been legally developed, including stable food supply and revitalization of rural areas. Naturally, the method for realizing the idea will also change. In particular, the master plan, which obliges local governments to formulate, promptly requests a plan and a check of the results for the realization of the idea. Also, a direct payment system for mountainous areas. At the start of, it is one of the main measures based on the Food, Agriculture and Rural Law, and it seems that the way of thinking is different from the conventional subsidy project. Consistency with the subsidy system so far and securing the initiative of the local government, Creating a consensus on the target area is an issue. First of all, it is tolerant to grasp the future direction of agriculture and rural areas from a global perspective. By accurately analyzing the agricultural situation in the area, careful counting analysis and the intention of the “region” Not only understanding but also analytical ability is required. The key to the future is to introduce the most suitable farming system rooted in the region. In addition to the conventional agricultural policy planning based on production. , Reconstructing agricultural and rural policies from the perspective of daily life.

【Major features】
Kagoshima Izumi Agricultural Cooperative established a wide-area merger JA in 1992 with 2 cities, 4 towns and 10 agricultural cooperatives leading the prefecture. In addition, due to the merger of cities, towns and villages in March 2006, the jurisdiction cities, towns and villages became Izumi City, Akune City and Nagashima Town, and became 2 cities and 1 town. Kagoshima Prefecture, which is located at the southernmost tip of Honshu, cultivates fava beans by taking advantage of the warm weather in the tropical sun. It was introduced in the Yonenotsu area early in the prefecture in 1969, and it seems that it started open-field cultivation to be shipped from April to May. In the jurisdiction, it is positioned as a priority item for open-field vegetables, and it seems that it is cultivated in the entire area centering on Izumi City and Akune City. The Beans Subcommittee was established in March 1999 as a producer organization, and was designated as a prefecture brand item in June of the same year. It seems that the Beans Subcommittee is playing a central role in promoting efforts to stabilize production, including expansion of co-marketing activities and thorough cultivation management, and is working to strengthen the foundation of the production area. It seems that the majority of the elderly are elderly, but fava bean is said to take 450 hours to finish cultivation after sowing from September to October, but it is a laborious crop, but it is a skilled crop with cultivation know-how cultivated over many years. Seems to be enthusiastically cultivating. Especially in the cultivation of fava bean, it seems that it is extremely difficult to set up pillars as it grows and to stretch the net as it grows. It seems that most of the cultivation is done in the open field in the jurisdiction, but it seems that some producers are working on the cultivation in the greenhouse. The average cultivated area per house is 15 a to 20 a, and the variety seems to be one inch in Lingxi. In addition, we are enthusiastically working on recording production history and recording how pesticides are used, aiming for safe and secure cultivation. However, looking at the changes in shipment quantity and area, it seems that the shipment quantity may decrease more than the decrease in area. In addition, the shipping period is from April to May, and it seems that the peak is especially from the middle of April to the consecutive holidays in May. For short-term centralized shipping, a fruit sorting plant (fruit sorting facility) was constructed at JA headquarters and started operation in April 2002 with the aim of reducing the labor of farmers such as boxing as much as possible and unifying quality. Seems to be there. First, the farmer transports the harvested, sheathed fava bean to the fruit sorting plant in a container by 10 am. The average daily carry-in seems to be 20 containers per house. There are three sorting standards, L, M, and S. L has 3 balls in one sheath, M has 2 balls, and S has 1 ball, and the overall ratio is 40% and 30%, respectively. , It seems to be about 10%. After sorting the fruits, they are stored in a pre-cooler until delivery, and truck transportation seems to be particularly particular about quality, such as using low-temperature vehicles. Thanks to such efforts, it seems that the market has a good reputation for having a good shelf. It will be delivered the day after the fruits are selected, and it seems that they will be delivered to the markets of Fukuoka, Chugoku and Shikoku on the second day, Osaka, Chukyo and Kanto on the third day. In terms of sales, we select shipping destinations and focus on shipping mainly in the Kanto and Chukyo regions. With the operation of the fruit sorting facility, we are focusing on improving the co-selection rate and making the quality uniform, and it seems that we are focusing on selling fava bean, which has been designated as the Kagoshima brand(Group: JA Ibusuki (Kagoshima City, Ibusuki City, Minamikyushu City) JA Kagoshima Izumi (Akune City, Izumi City, Nagashima Town) Vetches, one of the oldest beans in ancient Egypt and West Asia It was cultivated in Japan, but it is thought that it came to Japan in the 8th century via China. It is said that it was named fava bean because the beans face the sky. When the pods are green, the beans are taken out and boiled in salt for eating, and the dried ones are also used as raw materials for boiled beans, soy sauce beans, and sweet natto.). Kagoshima Prefecture Izumi Central Livestock Market: The number of Japanese black cattle traded in 2017 was 2085, down 0.7% from the previous year. While there are many livestock markets where the number of livestock traded is declining nationwide, the number of livestock traded has maintained at a level exceeding 2000 since FY2014. Regarding the trading situation, in December 2017, the market has stopped declining the number of shipments in recent years. The number of breeding cows under the jurisdiction of Kagoshima Izumi Agricultural Cooperative is on the rise, but as the number of producers shifting to integrated management has also increased, calves listed on the market may remain flat for the time being. It seems that there was. In the same market, a calf fair (if a local producer purchases a calf selected by the calf fair, a subsidy will be given to the producer who purchased it) is held before the start of the competition, and it is excellent. It seems that efforts are being made to select a new calf as a candidate for successor and leave it in the area, and to maintain the breeding base. I have heard that Izumi City, where the market is located, and its neighboring areas were originally active in fattening management, and that efforts for integrated management were the earliest in Kagoshima Prefecture. It seems that the breeding and breeding technology has been refined and stable management has been carried out by the producers who have been engaged in integrated management since the calf price became high as at that time. In addition, Nagashima Town, which is next to Izumi City, is also an area where breeding management is thriving, but it seems that young successors are eager to expand the scale by expanding the barn. The breeding cows were able to maintain and increase their heads with a head increase incentive (a supplementary project for beef cattle management stability measures implemented by the Organization (promotion of core bearer training and head increase). If the number of breeding cows is increased, 8 per cow A subsidy of 10,000 yen or 100,000 yen is provided.) And a subsidy for cattle construction (a subsidy project carried out by the Kagoshima Prefectural Federation of Economic and Agricultural Cooperatives), and it is estimated that the results of these efforts have been achieved. JA Kagoshima Izumi seems to operate a breeding experiment center with about 400 breeding cows. The calves produced are shipped to the market, and it seems that they also play a role in maintaining the number of listed calves in the market. In addition, the center will hold demonstration exhibits of new technologies such as cow pedometers and nursing robots, and will breed and train JA Kagoshima Izumi staff to support the maintenance of the production base in areas where the business is going out of business due to aging. It seems that they have the role of learning management skills and arranging them in the area. I also heard that many buyers are local fattening producers. While the number of producers of starch raw materials and the harvested area are steadily decreasing, in Akune City, Kagoshima Prefecture, the production of starch raw materials is set as the pillar of management, and the regional JA Kagoshima Izumi Agricultural Cooperative and starch manufacturing business. There are people who are working with people and government agencies to improve cultivation techniques to ensure stable yields. In the past, sweet potato starch was produced not only in the Kyushu region but all over the country, and it seems that nearly 2,000 manufacturing plants were operating at its peak, but the production of cornstarch made from cheap imported corn will increase. As a result, as of 2018, it seems that only 15 factories remained in Kagoshima prefecture. The number of sweet potato producers for starch raw materials has been declining every year from 10,537 houses produced in 2007, and it seems that it has dropped to 4,537 houses in 2017, which is less than half. In addition, the harvested area has been on a downward trend, although it fluctuates due to the demand for shochu that competes with the raw material suppliers, and has decreased by about 25% in about 10 years, but the harvested area per house is 2007. I heard that there was an increasing trend from the annual production of 63 a to the 2017 production of 109 a. By age group, about 70% of the producers are in their 60s or older, and most of them are older, and it seems that there is concern that the production base of sweet potatoes for starch raw materials will be weakened. In addition, 2017 production seems to have reached record low yields and starch production due to delays in planting due to low temperatures in early spring and poor growth due to unseasonable weather such as typhoons after September. While the survival of the sweet potato starch industry, which is a traditional food in Kagoshima Prefecture, is in jeopardy, young producers have positioned sweet potatoes for starch raw materials as a pillar of management and are aiming for further expansion in the future. In Nagashima Town, which is under the jurisdiction, production of potatoes is actively carried out, but it seems that there are concerns about the shrinking of the production area due to the labor shortage due to the aging of the producers. The town is an island located in the northernmost part of Kagoshima prefecture. It is connected to the Satsuma Peninsula by the Kuronoseto Ohashi Bridge. It consists of 27 large and small islands such as Nagashima, Shoura Island, Ikara Island, and Shishi Island. The area is 116.2 km2, and it became the current Nagashima Town in Izumi District due to the merger with Azuma Town in 2006. It has a warm climate and has red soil rich in minerals, and is famous as a region where agriculture and fisheries are thriving, supporting the foundation of Japanese agriculture. In the town, beans such as fava bean, fruit peas, and snow pea were cultivated, but it seems that the cultivation technique of broad beans was adopted from Nagasaki prefecture in the 1975s and it began to be cultivated in earnest from the 1985s. In the early Heisei era, a potato subcommittee was established in the former Nagashima Town and the former Azuma Town respectively. The unit price of potatoes is lower than that of beans, but on the other hand, it has high labor productivity and can be produced relatively stably without suffering from the typhoon season, so it seems that cultivation in Nagashima Town has become widespread. In addition, the potatoes made from red clay, which is a characteristic of the town, contain a lot of minerals, iron, vitamin C, etc., and are shipped immediately without being stored for a long time after shipping, so the freshness is high, and the market and consumers. Highly evaluated for quality. It is also certified as a “Kagoshima brand(Organizations: JA Kagoshima Izumi (Nagashima Town), JA Kagoshima Kimotsuki (Minami Osumi Town, Kinko Town), JA Amami Tokunoshima Business Headquarters (Tokunoshima Town, Isen Town), JA Amami Amagi Business Headquarters (Amagi Town), JA A Mami Wadomari Business Headquarters (Wadomari Town), JA Amami Famous Business Headquarters (China Town). It goes without saying that it was an important food crop for the Incas. I heard that it was around the 16th century that it was brought to Europe by the Spaniards who invaded the Incas and then came to Japan. It is said that a Dutch ship entered Nagasaki from the port of Jagatra in Java. It is rich in vitamin C and potassium, which are three times as much as apples, as well as minerals such as magnesium and phosphorus, and is an excellent agricultural product that is said to have saved sailors during the great voyage from scurvy. This brand boasts beautiful colors and smooth skin. The secret of this beautiful skin lies in the red clay. In Okinoerabu, Tokunoshima, and Nagashima Town, spring assessments were shipped ahead of the rest of the country and are highly regarded as “a product that calls for spring.”)” in Kagoshima prefecture as an agricultural product whose production volume and quality meet certain standards. In terms of potato yields by municipality in 2018, Nagashima Town was 22nd in Japan with 26,600 tons, and excluding Hokkaido's municipalities with different shipping times, it was second only to Unzen City in Nagasaki Prefecture, making it one of the leading production areas in Japan. Seems to be there. In recent years, it is clear that there are concerns about the shrinking of production areas due to labor shortages such as leaving farms due to the aging of producers. If the harvest is delayed and the timing of shipment overlaps with the subsequent production area, the price will drop, so it seems that securing a labor force during the harvest season, when labor is concentrated, is an important issue. Regarding the market price of potatoes, the price tends to decrease when Hokkaido, which accounts for the majority of domestic potato production, has a good harvest, and when it has a poor harvest, the price tends to rise, and the price seems to be unstable depending on the year. In particular, potatoes are shipped to the market mainly in Tokyo and the Chukyo region rather than in Kagoshima prefecture, and it seems to be one of the important production areas of “new potatoes” in the spring. In addition, in the prefecture, we are working on relay shipping by taking advantage of the geography spreading from north to south, and it seems that continuous shipping is being carried out from December to May between the Nansei Islands and the mainland of the prefecture. The JA, which is located in Nagashima Town, which is located in the northernmost part of the prefecture, has a peak shipment period from April to May, and seems to be the last production area in the prefecture in the production area relay. As of February 2019, the number of members of the JA's Red clay potato Subcommittee is 704. The acreage is declining as the number of producers decreases, and the sales volume seems to be increasing and decreasing repeatedly between 10,000 and 15,000 tons. The sales amount has increased or decreased significantly due to the influence of crops from other production areas, but it seems that in 2020, due to the poor harvest in Hokkaido, it was on a 160% increase from the previous year. While the number of club members in their 40s and 50s is declining, the number of club members in their 60s and above is flat to increasing, and it seems that the Red clay potato Subcommittee is also aging. Due to the topography of the island, there are many small fields, and the average planted area of ​​the club members is about 50 a, so it is difficult to improve efficiency by introducing a large machine that can consistently perform from digging of potatoes to harvesting. At present, it seems that one worker operates a potato digging machine at the time of harvesting, and at least three workers pick up the dug up potatoes. Therefore, it is important to secure a labor force in order to maintain the production volume by the current harvesting method, and the sales unit price fluctuates depending on the crops of other production areas. Seems to be the background to concentrate labor during the period when prices are high to secure income. In response to consultations from union members, the JA obtained permission for a paid employment agency business in April 2011 as part of efforts to secure personnel during the harvest season, and established the Kagoshima Izumi Agricultural Cooperative Paid Employment Agency. It seems that this agency is recruiting job seekers through JA's public relations papers and newspaper inserts, and matching with farmers who have requested introduction of farmers such as planting, management, and harvesting of agricultural products. I heard that the role is limited to employment mediation, and that the agricultural machinery used during work is basically the property of the client farmer. Regarding the potato harvesting work, which is the main employment agency, it seems that the labor required for the same period will be concentrated throughout Nagashima Town in order to ship it before the production area is switched to the subsequent production area where the unit price is high. In the work introduction, there are also conditions that should be considered when connecting the two, such as the situation that it is difficult to introduce heavy work to job seekers registered for light work, and the case where the workable date for each job seeker is not known until just before. It seems that there are many. For this reason, the farmers that can be introduced differ depending on the job seeker, and detailed matching work is required, so it seems that one person in charge of the JA Farming Support Department is working exclusively all day during the harvest time of the potato. Although the producers are aging in the Red clay potato subcommittee, the fact that the planted area and sales volume of potatoes have only decreased slightly seems to be largely due to the efforts of the JA staff to support employment. In addition to the employment agency, it seems that they are taking on various challenges such as requesting agricultural support from a local agricultural high school and cooperating with welfare facilities. In recent years, it has accepted foreign technical intern trainees and undertakes agricultural work contracts, and it seems that 10 trainees were involved in the harvesting work of potatoes at that time. It seems that the trainees tried to be able to engage in work throughout the year, such as working at the JA fruit sorting plant outside the harvest time of potatoes. To reiterate, it is essential to secure human resources in order to maintain the production area, but since it is difficult for individual farmers to tackle the problem of securing a concentrated labor force in a short period of time, the JA's employment support efforts are It plays a major role in maintaining the production area. Let's introduce this product again. In 1970, “Nishiyutaka potato” was artificially copulated with his father “Cho Type No. 65” at the Nagasaki Prefectural Agriculture and Forestry Center Aino Potato Center with “Degima” as his mother (Saikai No. 15). In 1978, it was registered as a variety as “Bareisho Norin No. 23”. In addition, it is suitable for warm southwestern regions and has excellent fertility. Expected to be cultivated and harvested in spring and autumn(Since the crops were swollen and the yield was high, the cultivation increased rapidly especially in spring mulching since 1985.). The flesh is pale yellow and the flesh is moist. The leaf color's dark green, which is slightly darker than “Dejima”. The leaflets are a little thick inside and reach a little sparse.「Plasmodium resistance major gene : 疫病の抵抗性主働遺伝子」青枯病(bacterial disease of eggplant : To provide a bacterial wilt disease resistant inducer which contains a compound indicating resistant induction activity against a bacterial wilt disease as an effective component, and a bacterial wilt disease prevention method using the compound.

Leaf symptom in infected strains is very slight or non-existent and may be difficult to distinguish during the growing season. Similar diseases that cause necrotic lesions on tubers include bacterial diseases such as Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. Sepedonicus and Pseudomonas solanacearum. It seems that it can be distinguished by the fact that leakage is seen. In addition, the lesions appear to be amorphous in the symptoms of potato virus (PVY) and tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV).). Somewhat weak resistance. However, the field resistance is quite strong. Since there's little dehiscence of potatoes and little breakage of foliage due to the wind, it's widely suitable for the second cropping area in western Japan. Then, I will describe the inside of the JA jurisdiction though it is simple. “Izumi City”, As the northwestern part of Kagoshima prefecture. The location is 130 degrees 14 minutes to 130 degrees 30 minutes east longitude and 31 degrees 58 minutes to 32 degrees 10 minutes north latitude. Akune, Satsumasendai, and Statsuma Town on three sides of the land. It borders Isa City and Minamata City, Kumamoto Prefecture, and faces the Yatsushiro Sea(Umi zato (monster which appears at sea) and shiranui (mysterious lights on the sea) (Yokai) are considered to have their origins in yorigami worship- Shiranui Sea)to the northwest.

The yashiro district of shunan city was designated as a national natural monument in 1955 as “Yashiro Grus monacha Temminck, 1835(Hooded crane)and its destination”. Izumi City was designated as a national special natural monument in 1952 as “Kagoshima Prefecture's vines and their destinations”. The plan is to transfer Izumi's Protective Crane to Yatsushiro, worried about the decrease in the number of cranes coming. First transferred in February 2006.

It borders Izumi City in the east and Satsumasendai City in the south. A town centered on the Akune port of the Takamatsu river estuary, where the shipping industry and commerce have prospered as a key point for sea and land transportation since ancient times. A beautiful coastline of about 40 km facing the East China Sea. The flat land opens on the coast of the Yatsushiro Sea and forms a vast paddy field in Izumi City(It is relatively warm and has long daylight hours in the Izumi area. The coastal areas and the hills in the southeast are slightly colder and have somewhat shorter daylight hours.). In the mountainous area, cultivated land opens in steps at the foot of the mountain, and the hillside is used for orchards, tea gardens, and upland fields. Akune Oshima, which floats about 3 km offshore, is known as a mecca for swimming and fishing, and is visited by many tourists every year. The Kuroshio Current, which washes the coast, grows subtropical plants everywhere, and agriculture and fisheries that take advantage of the warm climate are also thriving. Many high-quality fresh and processed products are the unified brand of “Akune-umaine-shizendane”. This is shipped nationwide, and the special product “Akune Bontang(Fruits were presented when Captain Xie Pomelo's merchant ship in fuzhou, china was washed ashore at Akune Port in 1771.)boasts one of the largest production volumes in Japan.

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties(Southern and Northern Dynasties (Vietnam)), he built Dozaki Castle and was active as a sea powerhouse until the Warring States period. In 1565 (Eiroku 8), Mr. Shimazu attacked Nagashima, and on March 24, Dozaki Castle fell. Previously it was Higo, but since then it has become Shimazu territory and now belongs to Satsuma. In the Edo period, Nagashima-go, one of the outer castles of the Satsuma domain, was located on Nagashima, and the Meiji era was reached within Peace. 1871: Haihan-chiken (the feudal domain system was abolished and the prefectural system was introduced.): Nagashima belongs to Kagoshima prefecture. Enforcement of municipal system, 1889 : Nagashima was divided into two villages, east and west. Higashi-Nagashima Village was renamed Azuma Town on July 10, 1956, and the town administration was enforced. In addition, Nishi-Nagashima Village was renamed Nagashima Town on January 1, 1960, and the town administration was enforced. On March 20, 2006, Azuma Town and Nagashima Town merged. An island blessed with abundant nature and a warm climate, consisting of the main island of Nagashima, Ikara, Shoura, Shishi and 23 other large and small islands. The Sea is endlessly blue and bright light shines down. And people are full of soft smiles. What is wonderful is that Japanese amberjack(Seriola quinqueradiata Temminck et Schlegel, 1845)farming is famous as the best in Japan. Also, as the birthplace of Citrus unshiu, citrus cultivation is also popular. In addition, due to its unique red clay, potatoes and sweet potatoes with good quality sweetness are also famous. The scenery of beautiful Terraced fields and the blue sea will give your heart peace and excitement - “Farmstay with agricultural experience and cooking Hatto soup (A local specialty food of Tome-city ) ” : Nagashima Town Countryside stay council. From the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries variety registration website, application number 16479, application date 2004/03/12, application publication date 2004/12/17, registration number 14415, registration date 2006/08/22, breeder Duration of rights 30 years, extinction date of breeder's rights Mr. Koichi Oono (Wakimoto, Akune City, Kagoshima Prefecture): Name and address of cultivar registrant Mr. Koichi Oono. This variety is a sport of “Shiranui”, which is a citrus that matures in early March in the growing area (Akune City, Kagoshima Prefecture) where the fruit shape is oblate, the fruit is heavy, and the skin color is orange. The appearance of the tree is open, the size of the tree is medium, and the tree vigor is a little weak. The thickness of the shoots is medium, the internode length is short, and the thorns of the shoots are few. The shape of the leaf blade is spindle-shaped, the degree of wavyness is weak, the size of the leaf blade is small, the leaf height is medium, the leaf blade width is narrow, and the sharpness of the net vein is rather clear. The shape of the wing leaf is trace, and the length and thickness of the petiole are medium. The formation of inflorescences is solitary, the weight of flowers (flower buds) is light, the shape of petals is spindle-shaped, the length is short, the width is medium, the color is white, the number is 5, the degree of separation of pollen is separated, The amount of pollen is a little small. Fruit shape is oblate, fruit shape index is slightly small, fruit apex shape is flat, no radial groove and concave ring are present, fruit stem shape is low collar concave, some radial groove is medium. The fruit core is empty, the size is large, the fruit is heavy, the color of the pericarp is orange, the size of the oil vesicles is medium, the density is sparse, the unevenness is convex, and the rough surface of the fruit is slightly rough. , The thickness of the pericarp and the percentage of the pericarp are medium, and the difficulty of peeling is easy. The hardness of the sac is soft, the shape and size of the sac are medium, and the color is dark orange. The juice is abundant, the sweetness is high, the acidity and aroma are medium, the number of seeds is absent, and the number of embryos is polyembryony. The germination period, flowering period and maturity period are in the middle of the growing area in early March. Biennial bearing is medium, no floating fruit occurs, and fruit cracking and storability are medium. Compared to “Shiranui”, the color of the pericarp is orange, etc., compared to “Kiyomi”, the shape of the pericarp is low-colored concave, the color of the pericarp is orange, etc. It is said that distinction is recognized. This variety discovered a sport of “Shiranui” in a breeder's field (Wakimoto, Akune City, Kagoshima Prefecture) in 1997, and since then, it has continued to investigate its characteristics while proliferating, and its characteristics became stable in 2004. It was confirmed that the training was completed. In addition, it seems that the name at the time of filing was “Beni-masaki”. At the Kagoshima Prefectural Agricultural Development Center, a new project type test research project research period 2018 : Outline In heated cultivation, we developed a soil moisture visual meter and a maldori cultivation technology using a hiryu rootstock to produce high-quality fruits. It seems that it aims to ship within the year. In open-field cultivation, we are enthusiastic about developing early cultivation, stable production technology by simple rain protection cultivation, and long-term storage management technology. Around mid-November 2021, Kagoshima Prefecture announced that it had confirmed positive results in a simple bird flu test on hens collected at a poultry farm in Takaono Town, Izumi City. This was the second suspected outbreak at a poultry farm in the prefecture this season. 11,000 birds were bred at a location about 2.5 km west of the poultry farm in Heiwa-cho, the city that occurred on the 12th. At 10:30 am on the 14th, the Hokusatsu Livestock Hygiene Service Center entered and was weakened to 5 dead birds because 23 chicken farms within 3 km from the first outbreak farm were suspected of being infected. It seems that two birds were briefly inspected and three dead birds were confirmed to be positive for type A bird flu. The National Institute of Animal Health (Ibaraki Prefecture) is proceeding with a detailed genetic (PCR) test, and the results will be revealed on the 15th. If the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries suspects that it is highly pathogenic and determines that it is a “pseudo-patient” to be slaughtered, the prefecture will start culling. Within a radius of 3 km, a restricted movement area will be set, and 25 farms in the area will not be able to move chickens and eggs. Within 3 to 10 km, there will be restricted export areas, and 93 farms will be restricted from taking chickens and eggs out of the area. I sincerely hope that the effects of natural disasters, the fight against the natural sciences, and the management and producers will do their best without losing. I think we must reaffirm that even the foods we eat naturally have a food chain and the enthusiasm of the workers involved supports Japanese ingredients.

The stem length of spring crops is about 10 cm shorter than that of Norin No. 1, and it is shorter than “Unzen potato” among the cultivars grown in warm regions, and it seems that it is easy to cultivate because the growth in the late stage of growth is small. It seems that the autumn crop is not much different from Norin No. 1. The number of stems is larger than that of Norin No. 1 and other warm-season varieties in both spring and autumn, but the stems are a little thick and upright for the number of stems, and the grass is a little strong and there is also lodging and breakage due to wind and rain. It seems that there are few. The leaf color is a little darker green than “Dejima potato”. The size of the leaflets is rather thick inside, and tends to arrive a little sparsely. The flowers are white and small, and many of them fall in the buds, and the number of flowers seems to be very small. The anthers do not develop normally and there seems to be almost no pollen. Although it is used for cooking, it does not easily crumble, so it seems to be suitable for stewed dishes such as curry and stew that are heated for a long time, and oden ingredients. It is also used in our favorite Kinpira potato with meat. It seems that the suitability of powdered butterbur sprout, salad and fried mashed potato is slightly inferior to that of “Dejima potato”.

Red clay is a general term for red soil. Most of them are produced by weathering of volcanic ash, and because they are rich in iron, they are reddish (the source is iron oxide as a weathered product of volcanic ash, and the origin of clay is the altered secondary minerals of volcanic glass and volcanic rock fragments. It seems that (mainly allophane) fine particles) are tinged brown to dark red, and in some cases yellowish. The greater the amount of iron, the stronger the redness tends to appear.

It seems that the agricultural college students who used the JA Kagoshima Izumi student support “Izuru-kun Scholarship” left for the first time in 2021. Under the system, repayment is postponed or exempted if certain conditions such as farming are met. The JA created a scholarship in 2019. It seems that it was set up to maintain the production base in the jurisdiction, to alleviate anxiety about farming and to arouse the desire to farm. It seems that students who want to get a new farm or get a job at JA are targeted. This year marks the fourth year. The lovely “Izuru-kun” system name seems to have been taken from the name of JA's mascot character.
