Glutinous Rice is known nationwide as the largest planted area in Japan. About 90% of paddy fields produce glutinous rice, and one-third of the glutinous rice produced in Hokkaido is Nayoro. I heard that it was around 1970 that eight ancestor farmers gathered and started full-scale cultivation. “Policy of reducing acreage (under cultivation)”: This policy was influenced by the rule of the United States after World War II, and as the westernization of the Japanese dining table progressed, the number of Japanese who This is because there was a surplus in rice, which has continued to increase production. It was implemented for nearly 50 years until 2017, but will be abolished in 2018 It overlaps with the year when. Was started. At that time, ordinary rice from Hokkaido was rated low, and Nayoro, which was the northernmost part of rice cultivation and was not blessed with weather conditions, was hit hard.

The original species seems to be L. serriola L., which is distributed from the eastern Mediterranean coast to Asia Minor. It is said that this is because only this species is freely crossed to produce seeds among several wild species closely related to lettuce. It seems that it is known from the mural painting that it was already used in Egypt around 4500 BC. Furthermore, it seems that it was introduced to Greece and Italy and became an important vegetable. However, I heard that all of these were non-heading lettuce. Heading lettuce seems to be known in Europe only in the middle of the 16th century. In China, around 600-900 AD, stalk lettuce, which is an unusual cultivar group that feeds on enlarged stalks, is being cultivated. It was introduced to Japan through China and seems to have been widely cultivated. At present, ball lettuce has become a common vegetable in Japan. Head lettuce has been introduced and cultivated as a western vegetable in the Meiji era. In addition, it was after World War II that the crisp head type that completely headed was cultivated, and it is considered to be a completely new vegetable. The head lettuce used today has been bred in Europe and the United States since the 16th century, and it seems that it has changed beyond imagination from its former form. Unlike traditional varieties, it prefers a cool climate and the optimum temperature for seed germination is 15 to 20 ° C, but the germination rate drops significantly after 25 ° C. Seeds also go dormant when the temperature rises.
