We discovered that when plants under special conditions are exposed to microwaves (used in microwave ovens and wireless LAN) for several tens of minutes at a time, they are stimulated, thus accelerating growth speed. We also discovered that their growth speed is significantly accelerated in high temperature environments.
In the future, we will study effects on various plant species and conduct field tests.
Can be applied to accelerated plant growth and desert greening
Can be used for planned biomass production
Can be applied to food plants as genetic modification is not expanding
Development of a microwave irradiation device (automatic irradiation device using drones)
By exposing plants to microwaves for a small amount of time at an early stage of growth, it will become possible for anyone to rapidly grow plants
Demonstrative tests have been performed on several types of vegetables, and it has been confirmed that there is no effect on the taste
It has also been confirmed that genetic modification has not occurred and there are no remaining chemical substances.
Special microwave device, solar radiation device, analytic devices for analyzing protein and genes
Companies willing to grow plants in the field, assuming that the technology will be commercialized
