The recommended Capsicum annuum Group has the image of a crop in a warm place, but it seems that it is also cultivated in cool Hokkaido in the hot summer. In Furano, several producers have been planting for a long time, but I heard that they introduced a sorting machine in 1996 to expand the production area. Since then, the area has been expanded since the merger in 2001, and the planting area is about 4 hectares; 40000 m2, producing about 170 tons of green peppers. Originally, it is famous as a kind of chili pepper that is said to be native to the tropics of Central America and South America. In French, the large and sweet one is called piment, and it has come to be called piman in Japan. Bell pepper is a general term for chili peppers that are not spicy.

From the northern country, winter edition of 1983: Goro Kuroita (Kunie Tanaka) and Kuma-san (Yusuke Nagumo) went to work in Tokyo from November, and Jun (Hidetaka Yoshioka) and Hotaru (Tomoko Nakajima) were in a hut. I lived away from home. The Goro and his friends came back at the end of the year to celebrate the New Year at our house. Overjoyed Jun and Firefly. However, from New Year's Eve to New Year's holidays, problems arose one after another around Jun and his friends. First, Shokichi (Yoshihito Nakazawa), the son of Midori Kasamatsu (Michiko Hayashi), left home. I can't leave my friends Jun and Kaede alone. Masakichi finally found spends the New Year at Jun's house. Around that time, an old man named Matsukichi Sawada (Chishu Ryu) appeared in hamlet for the first time in 30 years. A long time ago, he was one of the pioneers who pioneered this foothills, and although he succeeded once, he hasn't heard of him since he abandoned his wife and children and ran off with a woman. At the foot of the town, there is only a granddaughter Taeko (Jun Fubuki) who works at a ramen shop in the city. She said she was a huge success in Tokyo, but something is wrong. Suddenly, Goro has a difficult problem. As a guarantor of green debt, he was obliged to repay 7 million yen ... Can salvation be offered to the Kuroita family? Matsukichi graybeard (Chishu Ryu) is a legendary person who was called the Minister of Beans during the pioneering era. He hears about Goro's debt and says, “Sell a pile of eagles,” but in reality he has no pile or property.  Matsukichi had dementia.

Business description Breeding, research, testing, production and sales of vegetable seeds, Headquarters location: Onodai, Midori Ward, Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture. “Botchan Squash” is also known as a type of western pumpkin(A climbing annual plant native to Central America.). Compared to the large varieties, the leaves are small but strong and compact, and the late vegetation declines slowly. However, it is a rich variety that can be harvested for a long time and can harvest around 10 fruits per plant. I hear that female flowers grow every 3 to 4 nodes and can be harvested 35 to 40 days after flowering and fruiting. Keep the fruits in a cool place and in cold conditions. Drys the fruit surface and promotes shelf life. Due to the dryness of the fruit stalk, it suppresses post-shipment rot and improves shelf life. Prevents Bacillus anthracis(A disease caused by filamentous fungi (mold) that produces gray-brown to black lesions and salmon-pink spore masses on stems and branches. Leefs and fruits develop round to irregular, grayish-white to brown lesions. Blackish brown, slightly concave, spindle-shaped lesions are formed on the stems and branches. When the humidity is high, black grains can be seen in the central part of the lesion, and salmon pink mucilage (spore mass) also adheres.)disease caused by invasion from a wound. The skin is dark green and the flesh is bright orange. In this way, mini squash grow relatively well even on thin land, are resistant to diseases, and do not require much effort. The weight of one piece is not so much, but it is the weight because of love. JA Furano was established in February 2001 by combining the six agricultural cooperatives of Kamifurano Town, Nakafurano Town, Minamifurano Town, and Shimukappu Village, centering on Furano City. With a planted area of ​​about 22,729 hectares at that time, it is one of the largest agricultural cooperatives in Hokkaido. Originally, Furano City was developed as a paddy field, but after the reduction policy, food that produces a wide variety of agricultural products, including livestock such as rice, paddy rice, wheat, etc., centering on fruits and vegetables such as onions and carrots, which account for the majority of total sales. It seems to be a base. Furano City is located in the center of the Furano Basin, which is long from north to south, surrounded by the Yubari Mountains with the Tokachidake mountain range and Ashibetsudake as the main peaks, almost in the center of Hokkaido. No one knows that it was the setting for the 1980 drama “Kita no Kunikara(“From the north country” is a TV drama produced by Fuji TV and set in Furano in Hokkaido.)”, and that it is also famous as a place visited by many tourists every year during the lavender season. The cumulative temperature from April to October during the farming season is around 2,700 degrees Celsius, the annual rainfall is around 1,100 mm, and the average temperature from July to August is over 20 degrees Celsius, making it an agricultural town blessed with agricultural weather conditions. In addition, efforts for farming cooperation using compost are being seen all over the country with the aim of sustainable agriculture through resource recycling. In addition, in response to the recent rise in international prices of feed raw materials, it seems that there is an urgent need to improve the feed self-sufficiency rate from the perspective of stabilizing livestock management. JA Furano, located in Hokkaido, is working to establish a farming cooperation system that connects the two to solve the problems of establishing a crop rotation system to improve the productivity of cultivated farmers in the jurisdiction and securing self-sufficient feed for dairy farmers. It seems that it is. The opportunity for JA Furano to work on establishing a farming cooperation system was the farming cooperation measure demonstration project that started independently in 2007. The aim is to solve each of the issues of establishing a crop rotation system for improving the productivity of cultivated farmers, mainly onions, and securing self-sufficient feed by increasing the production of feed corn (dent corn: Also called dent corn, the sides of the grain consist of a hard starch layer and the crown consists of a soft starch layer. As the grain matures, the soft part contracts to form a dent in the crown, which looks like a horse tooth. Dent corn is mainly used for starch (corn starch) production, feed, and in recent years as a raw material for bioethanol production.) for dairy farmers. Onions are widely known as the core crop of Furano, which has been actively cultivated as a crop for paddy fields since around 1970. It is a crop that requires capital investment such as a refrigeration storage facility in addition to planting machines and harvesters, but since the beginning of cultivation in Furano, we have been trying to establish production technology with onions as the main crop and continue to make capital investment. rice field. As a result, the number of onion farmers in the jurisdiction was 430 (at that time: the average planted area was 5 to 7 hectares; 50000 m2 to 70000 m2 / unit), and the onion kingdom Hokkaido, which accounts for 60% of the national shipment, is the second largest yield after JA Kitamirai. It is said that it is a large production area that boasts. It is a crop that is relatively strong against continuous cropping and many farmers continue to grow in the same field for decades. Onion farmers in the jurisdiction are no exception, and onion cropping is generally single crop or incorporating other crops such as melons and spinach. It is said that there are cases where only onions have been produced continuously for nearly 40 years since the cultivation began around 1970. As expected, recently (2007 to 2008), the yield has been decreasing due to continuous cropping disorders such as the outbreak of pests and diseases and the increase of soil bacteria in the onion fields of single-cropping farmers, which seems to have bothered onion farmers. Normally, it is desirable to suspend the production of onions by incorporating sunflowers and oats in the form of fallow green manure or to introduce crops other than onions about once every four years. However, there are no crops that can secure high profits comparable to onions, and in order to incorporate new crops into the crop rotation system, capital investment such as seed machines and harvesters is required, so the yield will decrease. It seems that the situation of continuing to make onions was unavoidable inside. On the other hand, the dairy farming that was introduced in the jurisdiction as a supplement to upland farming and rice farming from that time seems to have progressed from a field dairy farmer to a large-scale dairy farm. Moreover, dairy farmers in the jurisdiction generally grow grass and dent corn themselves for feed, and purchase raw materials such as grains to make up for the shortfall in the form of self-mixing, but imported feed raw materials from 2006. It seems that the rise in production costs due to soaring prices put pressure on management, and securing and increasing production of self-sufficient feed became an urgent issue. However, the production of dent corn in parallel with dairy farming has a heavy workload, and in Furano City, where the price of agricultural land is high, it seems that even if one wanted to increase the acreage, it could not be increased. Among the onion farmers in the jurisdiction where there is plenty of farmland, those who pay attention to the good compatibility and voluntarily make efforts to plant dent corn and sell it to neighboring dairy farmers several years before the demonstration project starts. Seems to have existed. A survey of onion yields by the Furano Branch of the Kamikawa Agricultural Improvement and Extension Center also revealed that dent corn was the most suitable crop to be incorporated into the crop rotation system. In order to investigate the effect of green manure crops on onion yield, the extension center planted onions on the site of each test plot in the continuous cropping plot, white karashi plot, oat plot, sunflower plot, and dent corn plot, and verified the yield. However, it seems that the dent corn plot had a high standard yield and standard ball count rate. In addition, since dent corn has a large amount of dry matter per unit area, it has a high soil improvement effect, and unlike other fallow green manure, it can be sold to dairy farmers for cash crops. In addition, since the dairy farmers who grow the plants own seed machines and harvesters, it seems that there was an advantage that the cultivated farmers did not need to make new machinery investment. Agricultural cooperative officials in the jurisdiction have launched a demonstration project to support cultivated farmers and dairy farmers at the suggestion of the Ministry of Agriculture at that time to expand the circle of farming cooperation that had already started from the territorial connection. In response to the efforts of dairy farmers to supply compost to dairy farmers instead of cultivating dent corn for sale to dairy farmers, JA mainly cultivates onions, and JA provides dent corn seeds to both dairy and dairy farmers. It seems that the amount equivalent to the cost (5,000 yen / 10 ares) and the amount equivalent to the compost to be supplied (5,000 yen / 10 ares) will be subsidized. The demonstration project is said to start every year from the end of November of the previous year. JA summarizes the feed dent corn cultivation wishes of cultivated farmers and presents the cultivation conditions to JA Furano Dairy Subcommittee. Upon receiving the presentation, the Dairy Subcommittee summarizes the dairy farmers' wishes to purchase dent corn for feed and presents the purchase conditions to JA. After that, JA and the Dairy Subcommittee will connect individual dairy farmers and cultivated farmers, taking into consideration the distance and cultivation conditions, and the dent corn sales contract will be. After concluding the contract, the onion farmer will cultivate and level the land in his field, seed the dent corn of the variety specified by the dairy farmer, and share the work up to weeding. On the other hand, dairy workers are said to share the supply of compost (5 tons per 10 ares, including transportation) as well as the harvesting and preparation of dent corn. As for the dent corn price from the dairy farmer to the cultivated farmer, JA collected 6.3 yen (tax included) per kilogram from the dairy farmer at the request of the cultivated farmer around the beginning of November when the harvest was finished, and the assembling fee (dent corn price), 3%) is deducted and paid to the cultivated farmer. However, if it is difficult to grasp the yield, the area will be paid based on the yield survey based on mutual agreement. In addition, JA will pay 5,000 yen per 10 ares for onion farmers (equivalent to dent corn seeds) and 5,000 yen per 10 ares for dairy farmers (equivalent to 5 tons of compost) after confirming the settlement of the dent corn price and the supply of compost. It seems that it was a mechanism to subsidize the amount). In recent years, the Furano area has been hit by moisture damage and drought, and the difference between fields where compost is continuously applied and fields where it is not applied has become extremely different. It is said that the price has increased since before 2008 when the price soared. Many farmers are eager to continue the new farming cooperation efforts of purchasing dent corn and supplying compost even after the end of the demonstration project in 2009. It will be two years after the participation of the project that the cultivating farmers who participated in the project and cultivated dent corn can confirm the effect of the project when they return to the cultivation of onions. Therefore, although the measurement of business effects is still in the future, efforts to solve each problem of establishing a crop rotation system for cultivated farmers and securing self-sufficient feed for dairy farmers seems to be steadily infiltrating the region. In addition to this demonstration project, JA Furano is working to improve soil fertility using compost, such as having its own organic matter supply center that also handles vegetable residue processing and soil preparation. 
Agriculture in Furano City began in 1899 when Mr. Sadatsugu Kurigami (1848-1919) in the Ogiyama district(The origin seems to have been established around 1919 by Mr. Tamaki Koizumi (Principal of Ogiyama Elementary School), who named it from the shape of the mountain at the shrine. From Furano city area, take Route 38 toward Obihiro for about 2.6 km, then enter the side road and go straight for about 650 m. The Ogiyama reclamation monument is also scattered nearby. )made a prototype of “Ishikari Akage” seedlings. Although it became a key industry, the rice market became unstable from around 1967, and uniform production adjustments were implemented nationwide from 1970, promoting crop conversion in the city, and now it is a major vegetable producing area such as onions, watermelons, and melons. It seems that he has established his position. In recent years, the future of agriculture in the city has been affected by the slump in agricultural product prices due to the liberalization of imports of agricultural and livestock products, which is symbolized by the TPP problem, the shortage of farmers due to the declining birthrate and aging population, and the decline in rural functions due to the declining population. Seems to be extremely worried. In particular, I hear that the shortage of farmers is the biggest crisis factor for the survival of the city's agriculture and rural areas, and that it was positioned as a priority issue in the second Furano City Agriculture and Rural Basic Plan formulated in March 2014. It seems that they have been working on measures for farmers, but in order to implement effective measures for this priority issue in the future, related organizations and organizations will newly own them in cooperation with the local community. It is necessary to establish a system for gathering know-how. For this reason, the Furano City Agricultural Leaders Training Organization was established to centrally support the employment of new entrants and former farmers, and to secure and train agricultural workers. It seems that they are trying to secure human resources who will contribute to the formation of agriculture. Partial excerpt from the website of Furano City Agricultural Leaders Training Organization (Yamabe: The history of pioneering begins with the investigation of geology and topography by Sapporo Agricultural College (now Hokkaido University) in 1897, and a development plan was made in 1899. It seems to start when recruiting people. The railroad opened from Furano to Furano in 1900, but the section between Takikawa and Furano has not been opened, so it seems that migrants had to go through Asahikawa. The first settlers in the recruitment year were the three households, Mr. Chokichi Hashimoto, Mr. Hideyoshi Kawahara, and Mr. Tomokichi Nobori, who dropped the hoe on the 22nd line, which was the beginning of the Yamabe reclamation. After four years, 50 households have finally lived, and in 1908, the number of settlers increased to 406, and the loan was almost completed. It is said that a memorial monument was erected. As a research farm under the direct control of the Faculty of Agriculture, which is a school field at Hokkaido University, various tests and experiments are conducted. It is said that it was an extraordinary difficulty to cultivate a spirit of autonomy and create a beautiful style of mutual encouragement and mutual assistance because it is a group of diverse people with different languages ​​and customs. Surrounded by mountains on three sides, it opens only to the north and connects to the Furano Basin. In other words, it creates a narrow valley between the heavy snow and Tokachi mountains, which can be said to be the backbone of Hokkaido, and the Yubari mountains. The Sorachi River, which runs north-south in the eastern part of the region, and its tributaries, such as the Yamabe River, the 25th Line River, the Autumn Leaves River, the Yufure River, and the Juhachisen River, originate from Mt. The basins of these Morokawa rivers, which run on a 4 km flat land and flow into the Sorachi River, form an alluvial fan due to the accumulation of earth and sand, and it seems that they are cultivated land of less than 2,000 ha tilted to the east. The mountainous area is steep and is occupied by national and public forests, but the forest area seems to be about 7,600 ha. The mountains that occupy the eastern part are mountains at an altitude of 500 m and outside, and belong to the jurisdiction of the University of Tokyo Hokkaido Experimental Forest. Was being done. The Yubari Mountains are lined up in the western part, and the main peak Ashibetsu (1,726.1 m) rises like a folding screen, and you can see Mt. Hachimori (1,453 m) and Mt. , Ochachadake (1,331 m) and then to Furano Nishidake (1,330.9 m) via Gokurakudaira. Yamabe Village was separated from Shimofurano on April 1, 1915, and the government office was set up in the precincts of the current Sokouji Temple in the south of Nijo-dori, Yamabe City. In November of the same year, the government building, which had been under construction for some time, was completed, so the Kocho government office was relocated. After that, Higashiyama Village was separated from Yamabe Village in 1940. The decision of the branch village was completed in 1934, but it was approved by the Secretary of the Prefectural Government in 1940. On January 1, 1965, Yamabe Village enforced the town system and became Yamabe Town. After that, it merged with Furano City on May 1, 1966. According to “Origin of Hokkaido Station Name” (published in 1929), the origin of the place name seems to be (Ainu language) “Yam Pe” (cold water). It seems that it is written.): Furano Town wetland rice Birthplace(Minami Ogiyama Higashi): It was erected in August 1952 as part of the 50th anniversary of the opening of Furano Town in order to pass on the achievements to posterity. In 1894, he traveled with his family and moved to Ebeotsu Village, Sorachi District. After that, he found the need for paddy field development, borrowed rice seedlings from the prefectural government, and started development, and he made a great contribution to the paddy field development of Ebeotsu. In 1898, he moved to Furano on the recommendation of Mr. Chikara Nakamura. He cultivates about 148.7 m2 as a peasant on the Kamidai farm. He receives some of the land transfer and he becomes a pioneer of homegrown farming. In 1899, in order to try to grow wetland rice, he ordered red-haired rice seedlings from Mr. Kumezo Kurigami, who was in the colonization battalion of Ebeotsu, and made a prototype of 5495.8 m2 behind the house, and it seems that he got a harvest of about 108.2 liters. From 1900, it took four years to formulate a rice-building plan, but it was difficult to guide water, so a plan to draw water from the upper reaches of the Kitafurebetsu River was made and construction was started. I heard that he was responsible for the construction with 5.6 people from the whole family. It was completed several tens of days later, and it seems that the water was able to flow to the destination. This is also the first irrigation canal in Ogiyama and is said to be the current fourth trunk line. In 1928, a celebration was held to commemorate the breakthrough of 1.000.000 Koku of rice produced in Kamikawa. Nine new varieties and excellent varieties were selected, and six excellent agricultural tool creators were commended, and Mr. Sadatsugu (Sadaji) was among them. “Furano City”, The city is located in the southern part of the Kamikawa jurisdiction. It is 32.8km east-west and 27.3 km north-south, almost in the center of Hokkaido, and is famous as the central city of the Furano basin. The total area is confirmed to be 600.71 km2 (As of October 1, 2016). Furano maunt in the Tokachidake mountain range to the east and Ashibetsu maunt in the Yubari mountains to the west. There is the Tokyo University Experimental Forest in the south, and under the natural conditions that forests occupy about 70% of the city area. The climate is typical of continental nature due to the terrain surrounded by the Mt. Taisetsuzan system and the Yubari mountain range in the inland area of ​​Hokkaido. The daily and annual range of temperature is large, and there is a tendency of torrential rain in the summer season, and the snowfall period is from mid-November to early april. The depth of snow is said to reach 1m inside and outside, and 2-3 m in the mountains. The city was cultivated in 1896 when the Furano Wilderness Colonial District was set up. The following year, in 1897, Mr. Chikara Nakamura and others from Fukuoka Prefecture settled in the current Ogiyama district. Utashinai Village Outer Ichika Village Kocho Office was set up. In May 1899, the Furano Village Kocho Office was established in what is now Kamifurano Town. Notification of the Hokkido Agency on July 8, 1903: The Shimofurano Village is located in the south of the Sorachi District Furano Village in Ishikari. September 1 Shimofurano Village Kocho government office opens in what is now Furano City(Furano Village was renamed Kamifurano Village.). Sorachi District yamabe village is a branch village in 1915 april. The town system was enforced in april in 1919 and became furano town. Higashiyama Village was separated from Yamabe Village in April 1940. In September 1956 Application of the Municipal Merger Promotion Law. Merged with Yamabe Town in May 1966 (the town system came into effect in January 1965). Furano City was born as the 29th city in Hokkaido. Agriculture, which is a key industry, is responsible for the industrial structure of the city due to changes in the environment surrounding Agriculture and the aging of the bearers. However, the number of workers in the primary industry has been declining significantly. However, the proportion of workers in the tertiary industry, mainly tourism-related, is on the rise.It seems that changes can be seen even on an industrial production value basis. Furano boasts a national name recognition in Japan. Of course, even people who have never been there should have heard of it. Two historic sites were designated as cultural properties of the city on December 22, 2003 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the opening of Furano City. 北大第八農場富良野成墾記念碑(嘉禾是豊成墾紀念碑), 北大第八農場山部成墾記念碑: Designated as a cultural property of the city with two historic sites. Furano Lion Dance (Designated on February 19, 1969): Etchu Lion Dance,It started in 1902, and after a while, it was revived by volunteers of students in 1969. Hokkaido Central Latitude Observatory (Designated on July 13, 1971): Measurement of earth gravity and latitude and longitude. Dr. Shinzou Shinjyo and others. A rectangular concrete pedestal with a length of 95 cm and a width of 65 cm was erected in the schoolyard of Furano Elementary School. By the way, the city is north latitude 43 degrees 09 minutes 24 seconds ~ 43 degrees 24 minutes 05 seconds, east longitude 142 degrees 16 minutes 17 seconds ~ 142 degrees 40 minutes 40 seconds. It seems that the Hokki Belly Button Festival is being held grandly(July 28 and 29 every year.). City flower: Rhododendron dauricum L. City tree: Magnolia obovata. City bird: Dryocopus martius (Linnaeus, 1758). City animal: Sciurus vulgaris orientis. Furano area: The Furano basin, which is surrounded by mountains, is characterized by an inland climate, with large daily and year-round temperature differences, which can exceed -30 ° C in winter and the opposite in summer. It can exceed 30 degrees for several days. The average temperature from July to August is over 20 degrees Celsius, making it an ideal land for agriculture. Also, in a snowy area, it is said that the fields will start to be cultivated around mid-April in spring. The foot of Mt. Tokachi in the east is a gentle hill that continues from Biei and is suitable for upland farming. I've heard that the crops are unique. “Kamifurano Town” is located in the northern part of the Furano Basin, with Tokachidake in the Daisetsu Mountains in the east and the tip of the Yubari Mountains in the west. , It is said that it is a diversion ridge between Kamikawa and Sorachi District. I hear that the hills that surround the city in a horseshoe shape are fields and larch plantations, and that Mita spreads out on a flat land that opens to the Furano Great Plains toward the south. Lavender, which is a town flower, is said to be an important tourist plant that colors the summer in Kamifurano. “Nakafurano Town” is located in the Furano Basin in the central part of Hokkaido, and is a town blessed with scenery, with the ridges of the Tokachidake mountain range in the east and the symbol of the town, Hokuseizan, in the west. It seems that it is possible to produce many kinds of agricultural products such as rice and wheat, as well as garden crops such as melon and watermelon, and field crops such as horse bells, onions, and carrots. Lavender, which is also a town flower, seems to have been cultivated as much as 130 hectares; 1300000 m2 from around 1948 to its peak. Cultivation has gradually decreased due to the artificial fragrance, but it has been continuously produced by people who love lavender such as Farm Tomita. In the 1975s, it seems that the lovely shade and scent of purple came into the limelight again. Nowadays, it is popular with the townspeople as a town flower, and every household has a sweet scent in the garden in July. “Minamifurano Town” is located in the south of the Furano Basin, and the average area of ​​cultivated land per household is 26 ha, which is mainly for large-scale agriculture under the weather conditions where the temperature difference is large. In addition, 90% of the total area of ​​666 km2 in Minamifurano Town is forest, and agricultural land seems to be only 4% of the total. Agricultural land spans five villages, Kanayama, Shimo-Kanayama, Ikutora, Kitaochiai, and Ochiai, and is said to be farming based on paddy rice, upland farming, and vegetables. Among them, I hear that horse bells and carrots, which take advantage of the cold weather, are one of the best producing areas in Hokkaido. In August 2016, the typhoon heavy rain disaster caused great damage to JA Furano's jurisdiction due to record heavy rain. In particular, the Ikutora district of Minamifurano Town, where the Sorachi River broke, suffered unprecedented damage such as the runoff of agricultural land and the flooding of houses and warehouses. I think you all remember it vividly, too? “Shimukappu Village” is located at the southernmost tip of the Kamikawa jurisdiction, and when you go south on Route 237 and get off at Kanayama Pass, the villages are scattered there. 94% of the total area is forests, and the weather is typical inland weather. In winter, the temperature can drop below -30 ° C and there is a lot of snowfall. It seems that it has changed. Japanese Wagyu Beef(This category focuses on cattle breeds, and includes only four breeds, such as the Japanese Black breed, which have been bred over a long period of time in Japan, and their hybrids. Other than that, it seems that it cannot be displayed as “Wagyu Beef”. The Japanese Black breed was improved by crossing with a foreign species in the Meiji era, and was certified as a beef cattle unique to Japan in 1944. Currently, more than 90% of Japanese beef raised all over Japan and fattened in Japan.)is shipped nationwide as fattening cows. With the mountain resort “Alpha Resort Tomamu”, which is rare in Japan, the Doto Expressway interchange is scheduled to open in 2007, and it is said to be a key point of transportation. I would like to introduce the special products I posted on another site the other day. “KURI YUTAKA” : A large-sized variety with stable fruit set and high yield of strong powder, black-skinned chestnut seeds mainstream in the Japanese market. The fruits are large balls weighing about 1.8 to 2.0 kg, and the balls are particularly well aligned. It is a little dark green and has a high waist and a round shape. The meat is very mixed and has a strong sweetness, which is popular with children. The grass is a little strong and the vines tend to be a little big. The petioles are strong, the leaves are less likely to break and fall, and they are strong against the wind. In addition, the incidence of powdery mildew(Filamentous fungi)is low. Female flower epiphytes are about the same as conventional varieties. Fruit set is very good and the yield tends to be high.Wide range of cropping, greenhouse, tunnel, open field cultivation: Also suitable for seasonal extension, multi-faceted. Pumpkin vines can grow up to 15 cm a day, so attract them early. When the vines grow 15 to 20 cm, leave two good vines. (In the case of double tailoring) Remove the side branches up to the fruit setting position early to enrich the ovary of female flowers. Be sure to leave the male flowers at the root of the plant, and remove the side branches of the fruit-bearing node as they can cause vine wounds. Regarding the fruit-bearing node position, the fruit is usually set in the 12th to 13th sections, but it is ideal for Kuriyutaka to set the fruit in the 10th to 12th sections. (70 cm from the vine). Mating should be done early in the morning. Honey Bee mating is recommended for labor saving (in cloudy weather, bees do not fly, so artificial mating is required). Be careful when using pesticides to avoid killing visiting insects. The harvest days for chestnuts are generally around 50 days after mating. If the fruit is unripe, the powderiness will decrease, leading to a decrease in storability and taste. “See from Mikado Kyowa Co., Ltd”. Yes!
