We conduct research on improving the productivity, stability, and sustainability of crops such as rice, wheat, and soybean, focusing on crop physiology, ecology, and cultivation techniques. Our work includes not only pot and field experiments on campus but also field surveys at actual farmers' fields. Internationally, we carry out field research in China, India, the Philippines, and Myanmar. We are committed to developing researchers who can observe the world with their own eyes and solve real problems.

Research life progresses alongside the growth cycle of crops. When working with rice, cultivation begins in April–May with seeding and concludes around September with harvest. Activities include morphological observation and sample collection in the field. Seeding, puddling, transplanting, and harvesting are group efforts involving all students and faculty. Field experiments require students to support each other's research, not just their own. After harvest, research shifts to indoor experiments, with the final one to two months focused on data analysis. Weekly seminars include research progress presentations and reviews of English-language papers.
