Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to get crude drugs that depend on imports from China, it is necessary to clarify the cultivation method in Japan. In this study, I will clarify the cultivation method of Kudzu plants, which is the raw material plant of the crude drug "Kakkon", which is consumed in large quantities in Japan. On this program, the seedling supply method, cultivation environment and root system enlargement or starch content in the cultivation were investigated, and a manual for individual production method derived from seeds was completed, there was no difference in growth depending on the light environment. Furthermore, they were clarified that it was easy to cultivate in polyvinyl chloride pipes, and that the growth process and the temporal transition of starch content in Kudzu plants.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
生薬「カッコン」の原料植物であるクズを大量に確保するための栽培技術として,種子由来個体を育成して栽培可能であること,塩ビパイプを用いて栽培することにより,クズ根を容易に確保できること,クズの生育過程に応じて収穫のタイミングが決定できることが挙げられる。こうした栽培マニュアルにより,日本国内での生薬「カッコン」の需要に対して国内独自で供給が可能となり,農業の活性化あるいは地域農業への貢献に寄与できる。また,他の薬用植物への応用が可能になり,高品質な生薬の生産が可能となる。さらに,増産によっては日本国外への生薬の輸出が可能となる。
