The 7th National Vegetable Large-Scale Efficient Seedling Technology Experience Exchange Conference Held
Report from this website On November 19, the 7th National Vegetable Large-Scale Efficient Seedling Technology Experience Exchange Conference and the Founding Conference of the Seedling Branch of the China Vegetable Association were held in Shouguang, Shandong.
China is the world's largest vegetable producer and consumer. Vegetable production is an important source of farmers' income and an important sector that absorbs farmer employment. Therefore, the vegetable industry is not only a major pillar industry of agriculture, but has also become an important industry of the national economy and a livelihood industry related to social stability, and intensive seedling cultivation is a key link affecting whether China's vegetable industry can develop healthily. Through intensive seedling cultivation, soil-borne diseases at the seedling stage can be addressed, disease resistance and growth quality can be improved, and seedling cultivation time and labor can be saved. Driven by provincial governments, China's intensive seedling cultivation has developed rapidly, and a large number of vegetable intensive seedling nurseries with an annual seedling capacity of more than 5 million plants have emerged, strongly supporting and leading the development of the modern vegetable industry, and it has also become a hotspot for social capital investment in modern agriculture. However, in the course of development, intensive seedling cultivation also has many problems, such as a low degree of technical standardization, low production management levels, and poor credibility of individual seedling enterprises. In order to promote and standardize the healthy development of the vegetable seedling industry, the China Vegetable Association decided to establish the Seedling Branch.
Xue Liang, president of the China Vegetable Association, believes that in the face of the problems existing in intensive seedling cultivation, the technical level and development capacity of seedling enterprises can be improved by proposing to relevant national departments that vegetable seedling cultivation enjoy preferential policies such as green channels, carrying out rating activities for member seedling enterprises, standardizing business behavior, and strengthening training and exchanges within the industry. He hopes that everyone will give full play to the role of the association as a social organization and collaboration platform, strengthen contact, exchange and cooperation, and contribute to the healthy development of intensive seedling cultivation and to the healthy development of China's vegetable industry. Ma Dehua, the newly elected president of the branch, said that efforts should be made to run the Seedling Branch well, so that it becomes a platform for members to exchange seedling technology and exchange nursery management experience; a bridge connecting seedling enterprises with the government, reflecting the voices of enterprises and national policies; and an effective channel for learning and absorbing advanced international seedling technology and training to improve China's seedling level.
More than 200 representatives from intensive seedling enterprises, scientific research institutes, colleges and universities, seed enterprises, fertilizer enterprises and machinery enterprises from all over the country attended the meeting. The conference elected Ma Dehua, chairman of Tianjin Derit Special Industry Co., Ltd., as president of the Seedling Branch, elected Shang Qingmao, a researcher at the Institute of Vegetables and Flowers of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, as vice president and secretary-general, and elected other vice presidents and executive directors. After the founding conference ended, a vegetable large-scale efficient seedling technology experience exchange conference was also held, and participating experts introduced to everyone China's vegetable seedling industry development policies and current status, vegetable seed quality control, and intensive seedling technology and application examples.
