Dianthus acicularis is an excellent drought-tolerant, water-saving groundcover plant
Most parts of northern China are resource-based severely water-scarce regions, with per capita water resources of less than 300 cubic meters, only 1/8 of the national average, and far below the international water-scarcity threshold of 1,000 cubic meters per capita. With the vigorous development of landscaping, water consumption for greening is growing ever larger, and this contradiction with the scarce water resources of northern China is becoming increasingly prominent. Dianthus acicularis has good drought tolerance and is an excellent water-saving plant material in landscaping. According to calculations, Dianthus acicularis consumes only 0.

Water-saving and high-yielding rice, with a jasmine fragrance in every bowl
Wearing shoes to go into the paddy field, water-saving rice cultivation has become a reality. After the team led by researcher Luo Lijun at the Shanghai Agrobiological Gene Center created the world's first hybrid upland rice "Huhan 1A", it has achieved another breakthrough. Hanyou 3 has been approved, and under the condition of saving 50% of water resources, its actual yield per mu exceeded 500 kg for the first time. Shanghai's hybrid upland rice research took scientists 10 years, screened 10,000 resources, and selected more than 100 relatively drought-tolerant resources as parents for breeding. "The characteristic of hybrid rice is high yield, just like

Lily Harvesting and Seed Saving Methods and Technical Key Points
1. Timely harvesting (1) For vegetable edible lilies, early harvesting can be done from the Summer Solstice to before Minor Heat, when the lower 1/3 of the lily leaves turn yellow, the bulbs are near their maximum size, and the sugar content of the scales reaches its peak. To fetch a high price, "green-stalk lilies" can be harvested early from late June to early July for use as a vegetable. Edible lily bulbs, because of their high water content and high monosaccharide content, are not suitable for seed saving or storage; when used to process dried lilies, the finished product rate is not high. (2) For medicinal and processing lilies, yellow harvesting is suitable around Major Heat, when 2/3 of the lily leaves turn

What are the water-saving and drought-tolerant management and care methods for Hokkaido euonymus?
Hokkaido euonymus is an evergreen broadleaf small tree in the Celastraceae family, genus Euonymus. When Euonymus bungeanus is used as rootstock to graft Hokkaido euonymus, the tree has an upright posture and stays evergreen in all four seasons. After winter arrives, the mature fruit splits open to reveal the red aril, with green leaves and red fruit, giving extremely high ornamental value. It is a rare evergreen broadleaf tree in the cold regions of the north. It is not demanding about soil and can grow very well in sandy soil, sandy loam, loam and soil with a soil organic matter content above 0.8%. It adapts to soil with a pH value of 6 to 9 and a total salt content within 2‰. The high graft height is 1 to 1.8 m, and the low graft
