Soil message

  1. JSSM was founded in 1954 in Japan to promote investigations of Soil Microbiology under mutual cooperation between the scientists. We aim to increase agricultural production and environmental conservation through our activity. In the Open Special Forum, we will present how soil microorganism important for life to create soil and keep harmony with the environment.
