Crop Cultivation & Environment Research Division


We strive to respond proactively to environmental changes in crop production, such as production stability in response to climate change, improvement of land utilization rates, comprehensive pest and disease management, etc.
  • Identify critical temperatures for major growing periods of rice to enhance utilization of climate resources
    • Refining critical temperature to determine transplanting and harvesting dates
  • Develop stable production technology for paddy field cultivation of maize for feed
    • Implementing mulching techniques for corn cultivation in paddy fields reduce silking time by 2 days for Kwangpyeongok and 4 days for Dacheongok, compared to conventional upland farming method
  • Realize maximum productivity of soybean through integrated management of yield-limiting factors such as pests and diseases
    • Soybean yield increased by managing risk factors that may damage yield
  • Determine optimal time for managing Fusarium head blight in winter cereal crops and apply biological control methods
    • Chemical intervention is best applied during flowering season, after 3 consecutive days of rainfall
    • Biological control agents such as M. indicus proven effective
