Research on the production of onion in labor saving and safe manner

Performance

1. Developing the technology to produce onion stably

• Selecting proper covering material in case of plug seed culture: reducing labor by 88% by using net
• Inhibiting Rhizoctonia disease with chemicals: With Pensicuron, the disease can be eliminated by 85 %
• Research on the proper volume in nitrogen fertilizer with Shallot: Increased by 15% to 30kg/10a
• Registering patent for the manufacturing method of onion fermented liquor: It is good for adult disease such as prevention of hypertension, cure of diabetes and heart disease, and control of weight, etc.

2. Developing an automatic onion transplanting machine and seedbeds

• Developed the automatic onion transplanting machine equipped on sulky management machine which was registered as patent : It reduced labor from 50.2 hours/10a to 2.5 hours/10a
• Developing the device to fix the automatic onion transplanting machine to cultivator : Insert it into seedbed → Lift the seedling → Transport and divide → Transplant and suppress → Discharge the seedbed
• Developing the device to fix the automatic onion transplanting machine to cultivator : Insert it into seedbed → Lift the seedling → Transport and divide → Transplant and suppress → Discharge the seedbed
• Developing the seedbed tray proper to the automatic onion transplanting machine (registered as new design) : circular synthetic resin products with 348 holes and rectangular products

3. Developing good onion species

• Selecting good species: 36, verifying the productivity : 5

4. Research on plug seedbed technology for mechanized transplanting

• Selecting proper coating inhibitor, coating material, and coagulants

5. Research on raising good shallot species and how to harvest more crops

• Selecting species, and productions by regions
