HOME > Kurume original species breeding society > Facilities / equipment Entrance hall The Kuiku Group's facility information pamphlets are distributed in the bright and open entrance hall where the sunlight shines brightly. In addition, we are exhibiting the actual "Toumi (wall insert)", which is an ancient seed sorting device, so please have a look when you come to our office. Wall insert 2F corridor Research building In the research building, which conducts research and technological development of plant pathology and heredity day and night, we are working to improve the efficiency and advancement of breeding of Cucurbitaceae crops, including cucumbers. Variety development field [25 buildings] It is a field where you search for materials and make parents from the materials, which is the first step in creating varieties. The strains selected by evaluating the resistance to disease and the ability to adapt to heat and cold will be the parents of the test varieties. Open-air farm A total of 50a fields for investigating test varieties of summer-autumn cucumber (outdoor varieties) and bitter melon and developing parent lines. Pot farm We are developing technology for hydroponic cultivation of cucumber. We are exploring the creation of new fields that do not require soil preparation by aggregating the wisdom and experience of our ancestors and cultivating them as data. Test hojojutsu / production [4 buildings] We are investigating the characteristics of newly developed test varieties (prototype). Yields and fruit shape surveys are conducted, and varieties suitable for the production area are commercialized. On the other hand, in the production field, we are increasing the production of seeds of commercialized varieties. Storage warehouse We carry out thorough storage management by creating a manual for all processes, including quality maintenance through uniform temperature and humidity control, bag refilling, and hygiene control. Dryer A large amount of sterilization can be performed by dry heat treatment under constant high temperature conditions. In addition, the drying process reduces the water content of the seeds, achieving long-term quality preservation. Seed counter We are fully equipped with the latest infrared seed counters. Based on the precise measurement of the number of seeds on the seed counter, we carry out stable bagging shipments to our customers.
