Good seeds "breed" new hopes (seeds are the "chips" of agriculture)

This year is the first year for China to accelerate the construction of an agricultural power. The grain output of spring sowing accounts for about 60% of the whole year, and the grain output of spring tube accounts for nearly 40% of the main rations. After the solar terms, from the Jianghuai land to the northeast plain, from Jiangnan to Tianfu granary, spring ploughing and spring planting began one after another, and the fields were full of vitality.

Spring ploughing, seeds first. Recently, the reporter went to the processing factory of Xinjiang Huaxi Seed Industry Co., Ltd. located in changji city High-tech Industrial Development Zone, Xinjiang. Three production lines are producing corn seeds.

Liu Huai Ming, workshop director of the processing plant of Xinjiang Huaxi Seed Industry Co., Ltd., said: "Spring ploughing is about to start, and now it is the peak period of listing. Now the processing plant produces about 60 to 70 tons of corn seeds every day to meet market demand. "

In recent years, Xinjiang has accelerated the development of modern seed industry and continuously improved its breeding innovation ability. At present, the coverage rate of improved varieties of grain production in the whole region is over 99%. Last year, Xinjiang's grain planting area, output and total output all increased, and grain production increased for seven consecutive years, thanks to seeds.

"For farmers, high-quality seeds with high germination rate, high vitality and high purity can increase crop yield and increase farmers' income. Our scientific research is to apply new technologies and methods to the fields and firmly grasp the variety resources in our own hands, thus promoting high-quality development and ensuring national food security. Jing yuan, director of the Innovation Laboratory of Jiushenghe Seed Industry Co., Ltd. said.

A seed goes through a long and strict process from seed selection, cultivation, examination and approval to listing.

Chen Chufeng, a researcher at Tianya Seed Industry Research Institute, said: "We crossed two varieties of rice, the female parent and the male parent. After the hybridization, we gained the advantages of the two varieties. After getting the seeds, we tried to plant them in different areas and then passed the national examination and approval. After the approval, we can promote the listing. "

The reporter walked into the production workshop of Jiangxi Tianya Seed Industry Co., Ltd., and the production line was busy. In addition to high standards and requirements in the breeding process, the storage environment of seeds is also very strict. "Because the temperature of the seed storage environment is high, it will cause insects, and secondly it will have an impact on the quality of the seeds themselves. We must control the temperature at 9 degrees to 15 degrees. " Xiao Qingyan, director of the quality inspection department of Jiangxi Tianya Seed Industry Co., Ltd. said.

According to the relevant person in charge of the company, the company's orders are saturated at present. In order to ensure the production of spring ploughing, the staff are stepping up the shipment.

He, deputy director of the Seed Industry Management Office of Jiangxi Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said, "In order to do a good job in preparing for spring ploughing this year, we have planned and deployed in advance, and we have already reserved early rice seeds19.83 million kilograms, an increase of 3.9 million kilograms over previous years. In addition, a batch of high-quality late rice has been reserved. "

So as to plant good seedlings. In Qixing Farm Branch of Beidahuang Kenfeng Seed Industry Co., Ltd., laboratory technicians are conducting the third germination test of seeds planted in 2023 to determine the germination rate of seeds and provide farmers with safe and satisfactory seeds. The rice seeds in the seed intelligent illumination incubator have broken out of the ground, and the staff are checking the germination rate of rice seeds and making test records.

Liu Meina, director of the quality inspection department of Qixing Farm Branch of Beidahuang Kenfeng Seed Industry Co., Ltd., said, "On the basis of the original germination test, we added more inspection batches. According to the test requirements, we will check the water supplement every day and count the normal seedlings on the specified days to ensure that the germination rate is above 85%. We will provide scientific data through indoor germination tests to provide safe and high-quality seeds for agricultural production in the new year. "

In order to strengthen the supply guarantee capacity of important agricultural products and ensure the high quality, stable yield and high yield of the main varieties in the jurisdiction, Qixing Branch of Beidahuang Agricultural Co., Ltd. further optimized the planting structure and grasped the standards of seed production, processing and storage from the source. At the same time, strictly control seed samples, seedbed settings, humidity and other links to ensure that the germination rate of each seed and other life activities reach the highest value.

So Chol, director of seed processing department of Qixing Farm Branch of Beidahuang Kenfeng Seed Industry Co., Ltd., said: "Improved varieties are the chips of agriculture. We test the germination potential of seeds through multi-batch experiments, and compare the quality of different batches of seeds at the same time, so as to provide an estimated value for field sowing, thus strengthening the basic leading role of agricultural production development, promoting agricultural efficiency and increasing farmers' income.

Seeds are the "chips" of agriculture. Since 20 13 proposed to build a seed industry power, more "good seeds" have taken root and sprouted in the vast land.

Liu Mingkun, chairman of Yongsheng Agricultural Machinery Cooperative in Jixian County, Shuangyashan City, said, "Last year, our cooperative planted 35,000 mu of land, about 20,000 mu of soybeans and 0/0.5 million mu of corn. Last year, soybean production was relatively good, with an yield of more than 400 kilograms per mu. Last year, the overall income was still relatively good, and we are full of confidence in future agricultural production. "
