Transforming Low- and Medium-Yield Farmland Helps Break Through the Hu Huanyong Line
In 2014, China's grain production achieved a record eleventh consecutive increase, with total output reaching 1214.2 billion jin, an increase of 10.32 billion jin over the previous year. Eleven consecutive years of grain growth is gratifying, but how can grain production maintain its growth momentum in the future? As economic development enters the new normal

Rising Temperatures Reduce Wheat Yields: It Is Not Too Late to Breed New Varieties
If adaptive measures are not taken, for every 1°C rise in temperature in the future, global wheat production could fall by 6%, which would cause a worldwide reduction of 42 million tonnes, equivalent to 1/4 of the current global wheat trade volume. In feeding the global population, wheat plays

No-till farming yields are low, and the conservation strategy faces a crisis
Compared with conventional tillage systems, no-till often leads to lower output. However, no-till has still shown yield gains in dry regions. No-till farming, a key strategy based on conservation agriculture, can prevent conventional tillage from damaging the soil, yet it may not offer hope for boosting crop yields in most parts of the world.

After more than three years of deep cultivation, the peanut industry has increased yield per mu by nearly half
Last October, a foreigner came to my family's field to look at the peanuts. Seeing how well the peanuts were growing, he picked up a bunch of peanuts and started studying them. The foreigner mentioned by Yu Minggang, a farmer from Liangcun Town, Gaotang County, Shandong Province, is the chief expert of the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics. Chief

What exactly does crop yield mean?
What is crop yield? This seemingly simple question has had different understandings and connotations in different eras. Over the long course of agricultural production practice, breeders' and farmers' understanding of yield, from experimental plots to large fields, from small environments to large environments

Preliminary research for the 13th Five-Year Plan begins to yield results
On April 1, the Ministry of Agriculture held in Beijing a briefing on the results of major preliminary research projects for the 13th Five-Year Plan for agricultural and rural development, reviewing and evaluating the research results, which also marked that the major preliminary research projects for the plan had entered the "yielding results" stage. On that day, from the Chinese Academy of

Media: Yield loss and total crop failure not the fault of super rice; rice blast epidemic is the trigger
[Finance Exclusive]Yield loss and total crop failure: the fault is not with super rice. The event half a year ago in Anhui, where ten thousand mu of super rice suffered yield loss and total crop failure, triggered strong public attention to super rice. However, according to a reporter from Caijing, in this event, the local rice blast epidemic was the trigger

A compensation mechanism for large-scale crop yield reduction and total crop failure urgently needs to be established
According to the appraisal, the important reason nearly 10,000 mu of rice in Anhui suffered yield reduction and total crop failure was extreme weather. Although all parties discussed relief plans to reduce farmers' losses, this incident reflects that China's agriculture still has the weak point of depending on the weather, and unpredictable factors leading to large-scale yield reduction

National spring sowing progress has exceeded 30 percent; research on green grain yield increase models will be carried out
According to the agricultural situation monitoring of the Ministry of Agriculture, all types of crops sown nationwide account for 35.0% of the intended spring sowing crop area, with progress comparable to the same period last year. Among them, 27.8% of grain has been sown, 42.1% of cotton, 36.0% of oil crops, 80.2% of sugar crops, and 64.7% of vegetables. At present,

Initial results achieved in the research on green yield-increasing models for rapeseed
The middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River are an important rapeseed production area in China. In recent years, in accordance with the deployment and requirements of the Ministry of Agriculture for carrying out regional research on yield-increasing models, the Hubei Provincial Department of Agriculture, together with the agricultural departments of Hunan, Jiangxi, Jiangsu, Sichuan and other provinces, has strengthened collaboration and jointly carried out research, with Fu Tingdong
