On December 23, 2021, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF), Japan announced the selection of the “10 Major Advancements in Agricultural Technology” for 2021.
Among them, "BNI-enabled Wheat Development: Maintaining yield even with reduced nitrogen fertilizer" was selected as TOPIC No. 7.
JIRCAS, in collaboration with the National Agriculture of Forestry Research Institute (NAFRI) of Laos and its affiliate Forestry Research Center (FRC), has been conducting dietary surveys and non-timber forest product surveys in rural areas of Laos for many years, and has documented the wildlife used by local residents. This time, we have created a wildlife database providing information in local language on the wild animals and plants consumed by people in the rural areas in Central Laos.
An article on "Evaluation of greenhouse gas reduction effects of BNI-enabled wheat by LCA" was published in 'Environmental Science and Pollution Research'.
2021-12-16
In collaboration with the International Center for Maize and Wheat Improvement (CIMMYT), Japan International Research Center for Agricultural Sciences has developed a new model for BNI (biological nitrification inhibition) enhanced wheat, which exhibits high productivity with low nitrogen fertilizer, to evaluate the total greenhouse gas emissions generated at each stage of wheat production as "life cycle analysis on greenhouse gas emissions". An article on the new model was published on September 1st in Environmental Science and Pollution Research.
