K-IPM Laboratory
Research Theme
To ensure a stable food supply in the future, it is essential to harmonize agriculture with the global environment. However, conventional agriculture has relied heavily on chemical pesticides in high-input systems. To sustainably utilize natural capital and produce food with minimal environmental impact, efforts to reduce the use of chemical pesticides are necessary.
With the movement toward sustainable food production, establishing a new agricultural system that reduces chemical pesticide use is expected to enhance the value of agricultural products in Hokkaido and contribute to the revitalization of agriculture in this region.
With these issues, our laboratory is working on developing pest control technologies based on the concept of Integrated Pest Management (IPM), with a particular focus on the use of biopesticides. Through this approach, we aim to develop comprehensive pest and disease control technologies that reduce chemical pesticide usage, supported by environmental data.
Characteristics of Laboratory
- K-IPM Laboratory is an endowed laboratory by Kubota Corporation.
- We are developing integrated pest and disease control technologies by combining early warning systems, machinery systems that optimize pesticide application, and biopesticides.
