As part of its efforts to combat hay fever, a research group at Tokyo University of Agriculture will begin a demonstration experiment later this month to spray chemicals to prevent the spread of cedar pollen across approximately 15 hectares of city-owned forest in Annaka City. The chemical kills only the male flowers of cedar trees, uses a food additive as its main ingredient, and its safety has been confirmed. Tests up to last year have proven its effectiveness, and this time, with the city's cooperation, the group will test it on a wider scale with the aim of commercializing it.
