New labor-saving and low-cost production technologies and large-scale rotation systems for lowland crops are required in southwestern Japan. To develop highly productive and stable cultivation technology for lowland crops, we focus on studies concerning water-leakage prevention and seedling establishment using molybdenum in rice and a subsurface irrigation-drainage system in wheat, barley, and soybean. In addition, we improve the outer layer broad seeding machine and harvesting and drying methods for establishing stable and highly productive systems for wheat, barley, soba, and rape. Moreover, we concentrate on the study of integrated weed management (IWM) technology using a method for identifying underground weed seeds. By combining the abovementioned individual technologies and new varieties such as barley and rice for feed, we develop new labor-saving and low-cost cultivation technologies and a large-scale rotation system of lowland crops and then reveal the cost reduction effect of these new technologies.
