Shochiku Tankan on a farm, you do not use pesticides! It appeared to solve this problem is a blur this EM. The mix is ​​fermented rice bran, fish meal, oil cake in the EM. Mix the soil around once a year, which ended the harvest of Tankan. By doing so, prepare for the coming season is not healthy to give nutrients to the Tankan was taken Thurs.

Non-use of chemical fertilizers ②!

Liquid in the middle is a liquid fertilizer EM. Is made of abrasive juice, rice, molasses to EM. This liquid fertilizer is not mixed into the soil is the thing, sprayed on the tree and then diluted with water and absorb nutrients directly to leaves and fruit. Only the harvest season, and then sprayed about two or three times a month. By doing so, the sugar content of fruit is higher.

Non-use herbicide ③!

"Herbicide, Las blight thing. It Tankan people sow to eat grass - it is unpleasant" says Shochiku said. Shochiku Tankan on a farm, do not use herbicides. Not only not every herbicide, you're pulling weeds by hand one by one. I have appeared Shochiku's affection is applied to the Tankan.

I went to the field in 2009 Tankan.

In order to check the can of Tankan of the season, we went to the plantation of Yanbaru Tankan Shochiku.

Liquid fertilizer over the EM, it is not raising the sugar content of oranges that.

Herbicide is not sown Yappari, but pulled by hand. It is not sow the tatami straw grows weeds so as not to be.

Protects the Tankan from crows and bats covered the net.

Shochiku Tankan farm is located in the northern part of Okinawa Prefecture Teniya = Yanbaru in Nago City (Teniya). Yanbaru the district is known as virgin forest in the northern part of Okinawa main island.

There is heat and cold of night and day difference Yanbaru, in the region are suitable for the cultivation of oranges, citrus fruits, such as most of the Okinawa Shikuwasa has been cultivated in this area.

All harvesting is done manually. Say "cut twice" to harvest carefully so as not to damage the wood and fruit. Quite time consuming because it's one-man all Shochiku. Tankan from ripe yellow, and then harvested twice a week.

Shochiku on a farm, because it does not use pesticides or herbicides, etc. There are a lot lizards eat newt, insects and snails, them.

It is evidence that EM blurs and EM liquid fertilizer, which is harmless human safety, but also on insects and lizards. EM has been also applied to the actual food.

Since being eaten by birds and has become yellow Tankan, in the ordinary farmer, you may want to harvest early or even if not a little ripe, green ship leave. However, in the Tankan Shochiku plantation until harvest will not ripen properly yellow. Therefore, it will eat the birds from near the top. As a countermeasure, but not hanging CD tentatively, the effect is ·. Yield is very bad compared to other plantations.

"It is being eaten by birds. Certain percentage. What - I will not be helped and not return to God"
Mr. and Shochiku.
