In early June 2022, bananas grown in the tropics and subtropics are growing at the public swimming pool “Mizutopia Fujioka (designated manager: NSP Gunma Co., Ltd.)” in Fujioka, Fujioka City, Gunma Prefecture. Because it is a heated pool, the indoor temperature is as high as 25 to 30 degrees Celsius, and it seems that the tropical environment is reproduced by adding humidity. In addition to planning to sell frozen ripe bananas, it seems that they are also selling seedlings. Apparently, an employee of NSP Gunma (Takasaki City), a designated swimming pool management company, personally cultivated it at home. I heard that the company, which learned about cultivation, thought that it would be easy to grow by a warm poolside all year round, and planted two trees in 2020, thinking that effective use of energy would lead to SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals). there is The cultivar is cold-resistant “Ice Cream Banana”. Also known as Blue Java banana. It grows naturally in countries with high temperatures such as Southeast Asia and Hawaii. However, among the edible bananas, it has strong cold resistance and is resistant to pests, making it easy to grow at home. It seems that 50 to 60 trees have ripened by the pool this spring. A single plant bears fruit only once, but other plants that grow from the root also bear fruit. Currently, about 100 20-centimeter-diameter stocks have grown green, and the pool users warmly watched over them, eagerly waiting for them to ripen. JA Tanofuji is located at the northern end of the Kanto Plain within 100 km from central Tokyo, and consists of Fujioka City, Takasaki Shinmachi, Takasaki City Yoshii Town, Tano District Kanryu Town, and Ueno Village in the southwestern part of the prefecture. This area is the site of the Takayama company, which has become a World Heritage Site (one of the constituent assets of the World Heritage “Tomioka Silk Mill and Group of Silk Industry Heritage Sites”, and is a nationally designated historic site. The Takayama company ruins are the founders of the “Takayama Company for Improving Silkworms”). The birthplace of Chogoro Takayama (1830-1886). As an excellent breeding method that adjusts the temperature and ventilation of the silkworm room according to the situation, it was once a national standard sericulture instruction method. In addition, phytophthora, which is a white mold called Koshari that adheres to silkworms, causes serious damage, and the income of farmers is extremely low. “Seioniku,” which allowed silkworms to grow healthily and lead to a stable income, quickly spread throughout Japan as a groundbreaking modern sericulture method. It seems that one of the factors that increased the number of employees was the practical instruction method by the traveling instructors, which was actively promoted by his disciple Kikujiro Machida after Chogoro’s death. , Takayama company developed as a sericulture school) and provided guidance to employees. In 1873, Chogoro organized the “Takayama-gumi for improvement of sericulture”, improved sericulture methods at home, and became a member of the union. In 1884, the name was changed to “Sericulture Improvement Takayama Shrine,” and he became the first president. After that, the number of requests for teaching increased, so in 1887, the office and training center were moved to Fujioka Town, and his home was It seems that it continued to teach younger generations as a branch school in Takayama. Currently, a sericulture room (a house for sericulture) and an attached building remain, and traces of the sericulture room can be seen in the surrounding area, so not only the existing building but the entire site is a World Heritage site. It is also a nationally designated historic site) and the Nanakoshiyama Kofun (an ancient Imperial graves built in three stages in the first half of the 6th century. At that time, it was one of the largest kofun in eastern Japan, with a total length of 150 meters and a front width of 150 meters. 115 meters, the diameter of the back circle is 85 meters, and the height of both the front and back circles is 16 meters. The excavated relics include cylindrical haniwa, morning glory-shaped haniwa, human and horse-shaped haniwa, as well as Sue ware and Haji ware. In particular, the cylindrical haniwa is 40 centimeters in diameter and 110 centimeters in height, and has seven ridges around it. Good and rare. The mounds of the burial mounds are green and covered with sparse forests of pine and cherry trees. Thanks to the cooperation of the local community, its beauty has been preserved, making it one of the eight views of Fujioka. It seems that the inner moat, the middle bank, the outer moat, the outer bank, the fukiishi（stones covering the surface of a burial mound）, and the haniwa line have been confirmed in four surveys since 1972. In particular, it seems that the middle embankment had a square-shaped structure at the front and southwest corners of the main axis of the burial mound. In addition, two rows of haniwa were found on the flat surface of the middle bank.), Hirai Castle, the base of the Kanto Kanrei Uesugi clan, Maniwa-Nen Dojo (Nen-ryu was founded by Soma Shiro Yoshimoto (Jionnen Yamato-osho). Tomomatsu Gian Ujimune, the 7th generation of Nen-ryu (Kozuke country who revived Maniwa-Nen-ryu Tomomatsu Gian Ujimene taught “Mirai-Kinen-style” in the Hikone clan, and his disciple Nagai Shingozaemon founded the “Tomoaki Edake-ryu orthodox strategy,” combining the two styles of Yagyu-Shinkage and Mirai-Kinen. , Tomomatsu conveyed the Nen style to the Hikone clan and the Joshu farming village, respectively. In terms of technique, the content of “Inu no Maki,” “Elephant scroll,” and “Tora no Maki,” etc., was common to both). became the 8th generation of the Nen school and was regarded as the founder of the restoration. It is said that only one generation of the Nen school teaches the book of secrets. The 13th, 14th, 16th, 18th and 19th generations are Edo. The date of establishment of the Nen-ryu dojo is unknown, but it is believed to have been established before 1796. The existing dojo was built by a disciple in 1867, during the generation of the 20th head of the Nen-ryu school, Sadahiro. The name of the dojo is Koshi Hall, which means to study samurai. The jurisdiction is located in the southwestern part of Gunma prefecture（The area’s about 538 square kilometers）. 藤岡市, 高崎市（新町区域, 吉井町区域）, 多野郡神流町, 多野郡上野村の4市町村で構成.「相互扶助: Mutual aid」He grew up watching the production of his parents who are engaged in agriculture, and helped him when he was young. At the age of 26, he returned to Gunma prefecture because he was fascinated by the freedom of agriculture. To make full use of my experience in Tokyo. He has taken over management from his father since 2002, and has been making seedlings himself since 1999 or 2000. I spent four years from my precious experience. Even if it takes time and effort, I want to compete in a convincing way. The recommended way to eat is grilled eggplant. Yield target from 2015（50000 kg / 50 t, about 1.102.300000 Ib）As of 2014, 40 t.「選果機利用部会, 2014」会員同士で情報を共有化され, 互いに努力「切磋琢磨」（Apply oneself closely to one’s study）しながら地域産業の活性化を図る. At JA Tanofuji, okra can continue to bear fruit (pods) from summer to late autumn, and yellow flowers resembling fuyou are admired for ornamental purposes, and are recommended for home gardens, gardens, and planters. The mallow-like flowers are also worthy of admiration, and are said to continue blooming until late autumn. In addition, it seems that it can be said that it is a useful vegetable that has both flowers and fruits. It has a unique stickiness and is known as a perfect vegetable for replenishing stamina in the summer. It can be eaten not only raw by chopping it, but also boiled, stir-fried, salad, tempura, pickled in miso, or pickled in lees. This excellent agricultural product is heat-resistant, and the optimum temperature is 25 to 30 degrees Celsius during the day and 20 to 23 degrees Celsius at night. The reason why we often hear that the seedlings planted in the field do not grow at all, fall off the leaves, and die is that the seedlings are often exposed to low temperatures or the field where they are planted is too cold. If you misunderstand this as a lack of water and overwater, the soil temperature will drop further, causing excessive humidity and the occurrence of damping-off disease, which will encourage failure. The characteristics of the growing method are that the seedlings are soaked in water overnight and sown 4-5 seeds in a No. 3 plastic pot and then heated to about 20 degrees to grow, or you can buy commercially available seedlings and re-raise them in a warm place. Then, when it gets warm enough, it can be planted in the field. Recently, it seems that the seedlings are lined up in the store quite early, but it is forbidden to buy in a hurry, and it seems that you will have to buy the seedlings again. It seems to be good to mulch with black poly film and raise the soil temperature before planting. If you look closely at the growth, it does not branch in the early stages, and the number of flowers and fruits per plant is small. Recommended. In the first half, the leaves are not so crowded, so this seems to be just right. In addition, when the branches grow vigorously, the upper part of the main branch is removed and the side branches are exposed to the sun so that they grow healthily. Add 1 teaspoon of chemical fertilizer to each plant once every half month. Notarcha derogata (a type of moth whose larvae feed on the leaves of the Notarcha derogata). In terms of damage, it seems that the leaves are rolled up and hidden inside, and eats the leaves from the inside. It seems to be good to catch them as soon as they are found, or spray them with an adaptive insecticide to control them. Okra is an ancient vegetable that is said to have been cultivated in ancient Egypt 2,000 years ago. It has been widely cultivated in the United States since the beginning of the 19th century, and in Asia, it has become an important vegetable in subtropical regions, including India, and is widely popular. It is said to have arrived in Japan at the end of the Tokugawa period, and the first record is in 1873. In Japan, it was called American Neri because it came from the United States, but now the English name okra has become the Japanese name. American Neri’s Neri means tororo-aoi (Tamo), and it seems that it was called tororo-aoi because the root contains a large amount of mucilage. positively between mosaic virus and okra mosaic virus previously reported to infect Okra. In reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), oligonucleotide primers designed to amplify the entire coat protein region of TSV were used to obtain ~ 800 bp DNA fragments from purified virus and Okra (OFDM). Apparently not from healthy okra. Based on host range, serological relationships, electron microscopy, and RTPCR amplification, the virus causing OFDM is an ililivirus closely related to TSV. Also, since okra is a plant grown in temperate regions, it seems to be so sensitive to cold that it dies with even a little frost. This excellent agricultural product, which can be seen all year round in tropical regions, does not survive the winter in Japan, so it seems that it is common to sow the seeds around May and harvest them in August. Blessed with a mild climate, Kagoshima Prefecture is well-suited for okra production, and is widely known to boast the largest production volume in Japan. It accounts for about 40% of domestic production, 80% of which seems to be produced in Ibusuki City. Ibusuki City seems to be promoting a project using okra under the theme of “Creating citizens’ health promotion and health business utilizing local resources”. Since 2015, research on the functionality of okra and okra seeds has been promoted as a collaborative project between industry, government and academia. In the Tano Fujioka area, okra is actively cultivated. Seeds are sown from late April to mid-May, and harvesting begins in late June. The peak harvest season is July-August. JA Tanofuji, which provides excellent agricultural products, covers an area of about 538 square kilometers. Blessed with water and greenery, the area is home to a wide variety of agriculture, including rice, wheat, gardening, livestock, and flowers. Safety is what we always keep in mind. Relief fresh. That seems to be what everyone wants. I want to eat safe, secure and fresh agricultural products. That’s what everyone thinks. The JA delivers high-quality agricultural products to consumers through efforts such as the introduction of traceability and certification as an environmentally friendly farmer.
