Space breeding brings business opportunities to China's organic selenium-enriched agriculture

According to news from the working meeting of the China Organic Selenium Alliance, starting in January 2016, the China Aerospace Department will convert part of China's military high-tech products to civilian use, meaning the state will support the establishment of several aerospace high-tech incubation civilian enterprises, especially science and technology enterprises in the agricultural field.

Food is the first necessity of the people, and seed is the first priority in farming. Superior varieties are the decisive factor in agricultural development and play an irreplaceable role in increasing crop yields and improving crop quality. At present, the vast majority of new crop varieties in China are bred through several years of ground selection and cultivation under conventional conditions.

China's aerospace scientists and agricultural scientists have applied their wisdom and talent to combine the most advanced technological field of aerospace with the oldest traditional industry of agriculture, using space mutation technology for crop breeding, which is of great significance for accelerating China's breeding pace and improving breeding quality.

Carrying out space-carried seeds, namely space breeding, is about to enter the field of organic selenium-enriched agriculture. Through aerospace science and technology breeding, the disease resistance of selenium-enriched crops is enhanced, grain output increases, and the quality of agricultural products improves.

“Science and technology are the primary productive forces.” With the support of aerospace technology, organic selenium-enriched agricultural products will use the space-carried trademark, effectively guaranteeing product quality for the Chinese people. It is believed that in the near future, people will eat selenium-enriched grains bred in space, painting an even more brilliant chapter for the healthy agriculture of humanity!
