Hangzhi No.1, a new sesame variety, is the only variety in China developed through spaceflight technology.
Variety origin: "Hangzhi No.1" originated from the key project "Ninth Five-Year Plan Crop Spaceflight Technology Breeding" supported by the Ministry of Agriculture. In 1996, parent sesame seeds provided by the Oil Crops Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences were carried aboard China's 17th recoverable satellite, stayed in space for 15 days and then returned to Earth. Since 1997, continuous multi-year ground selection was carried out. Through comparative trials on genetic stability, yield, quality and resistance, it was significantly superior to the control. From 2001 to 2002, it was advanced to the national sesame

Analysis of Cotton Production Misconceptions and Ways to Increase Yield Through Plant Protection (Part 5)
For more than a decade, with the widespread promotion of genetically modified insect-resistant cotton, cotton bollworm is no longer enough to make cotton farmers turn pale at the mention of pests. However, Fusarium wilt and Verticillium wilt have always been the "tightening band" giving cotton farmers headaches, aphids and red spider mites "stir up trouble" every year, cotton stink bugs and tobacco whiteflies have become increasingly rampant in recent years, and together with cotton bollworm suddenly breaking out in certain years, pesticide control of cotton is still an unavoidable matter. At the same time, there are also the following two serious problems in pest and disease control, which directly lead to

Detailed Explanation of Mechanized Potato Production Technology Throughout the Entire Process
Shawan County has an annual potato planting area of 2,250 hectares, which has become a new highlight for increasing the income of farmers and herders in cool and cold regions. Because the traditional manual planting and harvesting methods are backward, labor-intensive, and low in efficiency, it is difficult to achieve large-scale operation. Through practice, advanced potato seeders and harvesters were introduced, and a mechanized technology for the entire potato production process was summarized. At present, this technology has been fully promoted. 1. Pre-planting preparation 1. Soil conditions Choose loam or sandy loam with deep soil layers, high organic matter content, loose and easily crumbled texture, good permeability, and medium or higher fertility.

How to keep turtles safe through early spring? Key points for turtle care management
In early spring, turtles have just woken from hibernation and are very weak in activity. In addition, temperatures during this period are unstable, often fluctuating between high and low, making it a critical time for turtle care. So how can you care for turtles well during this period? (1) According to the turtle's physical condition, if heating is needed, raise the water temperature to about 25°C. (2) For feeding, follow the principle of small amounts and high quality. The amount for the first feeding should not be too much; 1% of the turtle's body weight is suitable, and feed twice a week. (3) When changing the water, the temperature difference between the new and old water should not exceed 5°C,

Yingbuluo Nanguo Pear Builds Its Brand Through Scientific Management
1. Fruit tree pruning: Through winter pruning and spring pruning, the fruiting branches are spread out and an umbrella-shaped canopy is formed to achieve ventilation and light penetration. Pay special attention to summer pruning (mid-summer pruning), removing all water sprouts, back branches and new shoots from mature fruit trees, reducing waste of tree nutrients, maintaining the canopy in a moderate state, and ensuring that all nutrients produced by the leaves are effectively used for fruit growth and tree development. 2. Applying farmyard manure: Farmyard manure has a complete range of nutrients and is the most ideal fertilizer for improving fruit quality. Bao Dianhong's orchard applies farmyard manure once every two years, with 200-250 kg of fully decomposed farmyard manure per tree, plus some chemical fertilizer each year. He believes that doing so can both keep the tree vigorous and control excessive tree growth that causes canopy shading, ensuring fruit coloration and improving fruit quality.

Biological agents developed for pest and disease control throughout the goji growing season
With the creation of 4 compound pure biological agents formulated by the "Research on Biological Control Technology for Major Goji Pests and Diseases" team at the Institute of Plant Protection of the Ningxia Academy of Agriculture and Forestry Sciences, the pests and diseases constraining the development of Ningxia's goji industry have finally met their greatest "natural enemy." The use of these agents will achieve biological control of pests and diseases throughout the entire goji growing season, not only reducing the number of control applications but also improving goji quality. Goji is a traditional medicinal herb cultivated in Ningxia and is also a leading industry designated by the autonomous region's Party committee and government. However, the occurrence of goji pests and diseases is extremely complex,
