Recently, some media reported that experts from Chengdu Agricultural Research Institute of China Academy of Agricultural Sciences have worked hard to develop a rice with a growth period of only 60 days and a yield of 1.300 kg per mu. The key is to ensure the nutrition and taste of rice.
As we all know, under normal circumstances, the growth cycle of early rice is 60-90 days, and that of late rice is 2 10-240 days. Under normal circumstances, the growth cycle is 120- 160 days. Although the growth cycle of early-maturing rice is short, its taste is poor and its nutrient content is low, so farmers are unwilling to plant it.
The rice developed by experts this time can reach a growth cycle of 60 days without affecting the taste and nutrition.
In addition, due to climate restrictions, rice can only be planted for two seasons in most parts of China, three seasons in some areas such as Fujian, Guangdong and Hainan, and even one season in Northeast China.
Thanks to science and technology, the rice developed by experts in Chengdu can be harvested for 5-6 seasons a year, and the yield per mu per season is 1.300 kg, so the annual output of one mu of land is as high as 6500-7800 kg.
This "magic" rice variety is "Zhefu 802M". Compared with ordinary rice, the appearance difference is short. The plant is usually only about 50 cm, which is significantly lower than that of ordinary rice.
Being able to achieve such a short growth cycle and such a high yield is not only related to varieties, but also related to five factors: light, temperature, water, gas and fertilizer.
In fact, this powerful rice is not planted in the open air, but in a device called "plant factory rice breeding accelerator"
Through the extreme research on rice, the five factors of "light, temperature, water, gas and fertilizer" are matched according to the scientific model to ensure the rice in the "accelerator" to grow in the best quality environment and shorten the growth cycle without affecting the yield.
At present, this technology has been patented in China and the United States.
In fact, this technology is not for ordinary people, but for desert or Gobi desert, because the biggest cost of "accelerator" rice planting lies in electricity. As long as the problem of electricity is solved, it can meet the requirements of commercialization of plant factory breeding accelerator.
In China's desert and Gobi desert areas, although the natural soil conditions are not suitable for growing rice in these places for a long time, this problem will be solved with the "plant factory rice breeding accelerator".
The desert or Gobi desert has sufficient sunlight, and the annual illumination time can reach 2550-3500 hours, which creates favorable conditions for photovoltaic power generation. With electricity, you will also use the "plant factory rice breeding accelerator".
In March this year, China Academy of Agricultural Sciences signed an agreement with Kashgar to strengthen cooperation in vegetables, modern seed industry and high-quality cotton.
In April this year, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs officially approved the Institute of Urban Agriculture of China Academy of Agricultural Sciences to establish a "Kashgar Research Base" in Xinjiang, which means that this super rice is one step closer to entering the Gobi Desert.
For this super rice, netizens have also praised it, and the joy is beyond words.
Some netizens said: "Good! Clap your hands and cheer! Not only to breed, but also to breed well.
It is necessary not only to break through the predicament of relying on imported seeds, but also to cultivate seeds with high yield and high quality, which are suitable for various soils, climates and generations.
Agriculture is prosperous and food is self-sufficient.
Some netizens also said, "This is great news. Harvest five to six times a year, mature in 60 days, and the yield per mu can reach 650 kg. For the 654.38+04 billion people in China, it's really great news. Once it is promoted, we will not import if we are self-sufficient.
"
However, some netizens expressed their concerns. "This estimate is the same as the growth cycle of rural chickens and broilers. Broilers have short cycle and high yield, but the taste is far from good.
""Although we can harvest five or six times a year to solve the food crisis, will we use hormones to promote growth like pigs, ducks, chickens and fish, so will it affect human health after eating it? Especially on the growth of children? "
Some netizens directly commented, "Can it be delicious? The food is crazy, and people are even crazier.
"Some netizens expressed their admiration for scientists," like great scientists.
"
Conclusion: The author thinks that this rice variety developed by Chengdu experts is only one aspect, and the five factors of "light, temperature, water, gas and fertilizer" are also very important.
From the introduction of experts to the fact that this kind of rice can accept customized taste in the future, it can be inferred that these rice may be genetically modified.
There may be many people who are afraid when they talk about genetic modification. In fact, many of our crops now involve genetic modification, such as cotton, soybean and rape.
What's more, let's imagine that chocolate-flavored rice, steamed bread-flavored rice and mango-flavored rice are all very appetizing. Who cares if it's genetically modified?
