METHOD FOR CULTIVATING $i(ERIMOSHOZU), AND METHODS FOR HARVESTING AND STORING ITS SEED

The present invention provides a method for cultivating Erimo-shozu, a variety of Adzuki seeds, characterized in that the seeds are cultivated under the condition wherein the average minimum temperature for 30 days before harvest is 18.5 DEG C or less and the average maximum temperature for the same is 29.0 DEG C or less; a method for harvesting Erimo-shozu seeds, characterized in that the seeds are harvested at the time period when the water content of the seed in the lowermost pod of a plant is 10% or more; and a method for storing Erimo-shozu seeds, characterized in that the water content of the seed is kept at 10% or more during storage by preventing a decrease in the water content. Erimo-shozu seeds having quality equivalent to that produced in Hokkaido can be produced even in a low latitude area.
