３．In agriculture
| ◆Potato |
Potato come out spear in case we leave it unattended for a long time, and become to have poison gradually. Keeping in low temperature is one way to stop germination, but we can eschew it by using radiation, without keeping low temperature.
How to use?
The way to use radiation is so easy that we have only to expose it to radiation (gamma radiation). Not only potato undergo budding cell killing and lose budbreak ability, but also we can do bacterial killing at once.
Japan allow us to expose radiation only to potato, but in some country has already permitted to expose radiation to broad kinds of food from spice to cereal.
| ◆Tomato |
It is pest “Melon fly” that lay eggs on tomato and bell pepper, papaya, lots of kinds of crop. The sterile insect pasturage method which use radiation is used the way to pulling up this flies.
How to use?
First, expose radiation (gamma radiation) to Melon flies’ pupa. This enable us to break or to cause aberrance in their genitals (sterilization).Just unhitch them to outside.
You may think “Is it OK to do like this?!” but the eggs of copulating a sterile insect and a wild insect don’t enclose so we can decrease the number of Melon flies on following generation. Run over this lead to more and more bring down the amount of Melon flies and we could uproot them.
This enables us to pull up Melon flies completely on Okinawa prefecture, Japan.

| ◆Japanese pear |
Cultivar improvement is essential for making crops which have resistance to disease and harmful insects. Radiation sometimes uses on cultivar improvement.
How to use?
Main reason of animals and plants’ biological evolution is a mutation which is occurred the time when DNA of cells are injured by background radiation. A facility, Gamma Field, do a cultivar improvement by exposing radiation (gamma radiation) to crops and causing the mutation by design.
For example, ”Gold 20 century” bore from the 20 century Japanese pears which are found at Gamma Field and which have resistance to purple spot on a plant. Using radiation is not only like this but also seeping into our daily life broadly, for example, invent allergy-free crops and a lot of colors of flowers, rice plants, wheat plants and so on.
