Goal:

  1. Research on regional fruit tree breeding, cultivation management, season regulation, and post-harvest treatment techniques, with a focus on crops like passion fruit.
  2. Research on regional vegetable breeding, cultivation management, and post-harvest treatment techniques, particularly for crops such as water bamboo shoots.
  3. Research on the breeding, cultivation management, flower period regulation, and export storage and transportation techniques of orchids, lilies, and begonias.
  4. Study on the recycling of agricultural by-products.
  5. Research on regional agricultural cultivation techniques.

Recent Research Results:

Key Research Achievements:

  • Successful breeding of new varieties, including 'Taichung No.1 Dream Fantasy,' 'Taichung No.2 Red Sparrow,' and 'Taichung No.3 Golden Island' for Cymbidium in 2013.
  • In 2008, the successful breeding of the Taichung No.1 Pink Angel Helleborine, known for its heat tolerance.
  • The development of water bamboo shoots, such as the 'Taichung No.1' variety in 2000, known for high yield, early maturity, and low disease rates.

Cultivation Technology Improvements:

  • Application of TCT768 solid-state microbial preparations and TCT-P001 liquid preparations in high-grafted pear cultivation.
  • Application of liquefied starch bud scale bacterium (Tcba05) in organic cultivation of Taichung No.1 passion fruit for effective disease control.
  • Improvement of passion fruit cultivation management techniques, such as thinning treatment to increase yield and reduce disease incidence.
  • Application of a new wood vinegar formula in water bamboo shoots to reduce disease rates.
  • Development of microbial materials decomposers for use in water bamboo shoot cultivation to quickly decompose plant residues.

Technology Transfer Cases:

  • In 2023, the transfer of Helleborine single strains PC304, PC024, and PC502 with compensation.
  • In 2022, the formula for using the fungus TCT-P001 in the decomposition of agricultural production residues.
  • In 2021, the development of cosmetic raw materials using passion fruit fermentation technology.
  • In 2021, the method of applying bamboo chip composting.
  • In 2020, the large-scale reproduction and application method of fungus TCT-P003 in kitchen waste treatment.
  • In 2019, the technology for producing composite compost fermentation inoculants and their application in chicken coop bedding and compost production.
  • In 2017, the technology for keeping and reproducing the Taichung No.1 water bamboo shoot.
  • In 2017, the authorization of the varieties Taichung No.1 Dream Fantasy, Taichung No.2 Red Sparrow, and Taichung No.3 Golden Island for Cymbidium.
