Direct seeding: This is the stadard way of seeding in the world of sugar beet.<br \/>\nBackground: the reason why majority of Hokkaido farmers choose the transplanting system is below,<br \/>\n1. Get longer growth period  \u21d2it makes yield get more than direct seeding.<br \/>\n2. One of the importnat points is secure of getmination. Because transplanting beet is controled at the greenhouse, it make certainess of germination than that of direct seeding.<br \/>\nDemerit<br \/>\n1. transpalanting: take higher cost, labor imput, use fuel for heating the green house<br \/>\n2. direct seeding: germination rate and floust damage at spring. But recently some of the farmers have been gotten high yield more than farmers of transplanting.<br \/>\nAnyway, my farm have been transplanted sugar beet for almost 30 years, let me show you how it made.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"CIMG0307.JPG\" src=\"https:\/\/co-mugi.jp\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/CIMG0307.JPG\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"mt-image-none\" style=\"\" \/><br \/>\n1. Storage of soil: Almost of all farms stock soil into the green house for seeding beds because of rejecting freeze soil during winter.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"CIMG1815.JPG\" src=\"https:\/\/co-mugi.jp\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/CIMG1815.JPG\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"mt-image-none\" style=\"\" \/><br \/>\n2. Level ground: It is very important to level ground for better hundle of seed bed. Since paper pot is made by a piece of paper, it might be eazy to break a piece if ground is heaved.<br \/>\n3. Prepar machinery: soil shatter machine, conveyers, soil stuffer, etc.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"CIMG1878.JPG\" src=\"https:\/\/co-mugi.jp\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/CIMG1878.JPG\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"mt-image-none\" style=\"\" \/><br \/>\n4. Stuff soil into paper pods. Shattered soil with fertilizer is stuffed into paper pods.<br \/>\nPaper pods are set by the board which has projections.<br \/>\nThis projection (about 1cm depth) makes paper pods seed holes.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"CIMG1873.JPG\" src=\"https:\/\/co-mugi.jp\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/CIMG1873.JPG\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"mt-image-none\" style=\"\" \/><br \/>\n5. Seeding: there is two ways of seeding, manual and automatic by the vacume seeders.<br \/>\nSeeds have to be sowm seed holes of paper pods properly.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"CIMG1866.JPG\" src=\"https:\/\/co-mugi.jp\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/CIMG1866.JPG\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"mt-image-none\" style=\"\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"CIMG1874.JPG\" src=\"https:\/\/co-mugi.jp\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/CIMG1874.JPG\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" class=\"mt-image-none\" style=\"\" \/><br \/>\n6. Cover soil including fungicide on the surface of seed holes.<br \/>\nFugicide is for avoiding stand off.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"DSCN1752.JPG\" src=\"https:\/\/co-mugi.jp\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSCN1752.JPG\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"mt-image-none\" style=\"\" \/><br \/>\n7. Arrenge pods at the green house<br \/>\nSpecial carrier make it easear. At my farm, Almost 600 pods are lined at a green house.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"CIMG1893.JPG\" src=\"https:\/\/co-mugi.jp\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/CIMG1893.JPG\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"mt-image-none\" style=\"\" \/><br \/>\n8. Set up curved bars for making a tunnel.<br \/>\nTunnel makes sugar beet pods warm and reduce heating cost.<br \/>\n9. After a few days from seeding, start water sprey.<br \/>\nFor enhancing germination rate, it is very important to give seed pods water equally by a pump spray.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"CIMG1912.JPG\" src=\"https:\/\/co-mugi.jp\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/CIMG1912.JPG\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"mt-image-none\" style=\"\" \/><br \/>\n10. Keep warm and give water properly for better germination<br \/>\nWhen irregular sprout of beets is occured, it might be difficult of nursing it, and be occured time cusuming,<br \/>\nThan&#8217;s why nylon sheet is covered air duct for circulating air.<br \/>\nWind in the tunnel is able to avoid freezing out, stagnation of germ.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"CIMG2070.JPG\" src=\"https:\/\/co-mugi.jp\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/CIMG2070.JPG\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"mt-image-none\" style=\"\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"CIMG2058.JPG\" src=\"https:\/\/co-mugi.jp\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/CIMG2058.JPG\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"mt-image-none\" style=\"\" \/><br \/>\n11. After 45 days from seeding, get ready to transplant beets on the field.<br \/>\nIn our region, Tokachi district of Hokkaido, farmers start to tranplant from last week of April.<br \/>\nAlso, direct seeding starts this period.<br \/>\nHowever, we have to be careful strong spring wind, and flost.<br \/>\nWeater forecast is usufull imformation of farmeres in the world, as you know it.<br \/>\n12. 2 times a day, our farm have green tea time for short rest.<br \/>\nEverybody lough at taking about nothing and enjoy green tea time for relaxing.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"CIMG1862.JPG\" src=\"https:\/\/co-mugi.jp\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/CIMG1862.JPG\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"mt-image-none\" style=\"\" \/\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, I try to explain how sugar beet in japan is grown on the field. \u4eca\u56de\u306f\u3064\u305f\u306a\u3044\u82f1\u8a9e\u3067\u30d3\u30fc\u30c8\u751f\u7523\u306b\u3064\u3044\u3066\u8aac\u660e\u3057\u307e\u3059\u3002 \u3069\u3046\u3057\u3066\u304b\u3068\u3044\u3046\u3068\u3001\u4e16\u754c\u4e2d &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/co-mugi.jp\/blog\/2011\/03\/01\/_sugar_beet_seeding_in_japan\/\" class=\"more-link\">\u7d9a\u304d\u3092\u8aad\u3080 <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Sugar Beet Seeding in Japan<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[22,7],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/co-mugi.jp\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1036"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/co-mugi.jp\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/co-mugi.jp\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/co-mugi.jp\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/co-mugi.jp\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1036"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/co-mugi.jp\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1036\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/co-mugi.jp\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1036"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/co-mugi.jp\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1036"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/co-mugi.jp\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1036"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
