Northeast "Strange Rice" succeeds in trial planting in Heilongjiang and begins to be promoted to farmers within the province
Sitting on a pile of plump rice sacks with a beaming smile, Jin Yushi, a farmer from Xiangfang District, Harbin, is very gratified by the bumper harvest of the 8 mu of "Northeast Strange Rice" he planted this year.
This year, low temperatures and scant sunshine caused reduced yields in some rice-producing areas of Heilongjiang Province. However, some rice growers who applied new technologies and new varieties still steadily achieved high yields. Among them, rice farmers Jin Yushi, Zhang Zibin and others obtained a good harvest by accepting the suggestions and guidance of scientific and technical personnel, introducing "Northeast Strange Rice" and applying biological technologies such as "three agents and two fertilizers", with sacks of high-yield rice filling their own small courtyards. Although "Northeast Strange Rice" is unremarkable in appearance, not bright in color, and its grains are not neatly shaped, when cooked it has the advantages of fragrant taste, good mouthfeel, and not spoiling within a few days. Because of this, people also call it "Northeast Strange Rice."
It is reported that 46 hectares of "Northeast Strange Rice" produced using the "green agriculture model" in Cheng Gaozi Town, Xiangfang District, Harbin, achieved a great harvest, with a yield of more than 9,000 kg per hectare. The "strange rice" not only has advantages such as drought resistance, waterlogging resistance, cold resistance and resistance to pests and diseases during its growth process, but the "strange rice" it produces is also glossy and soft, rich in nutrients, and has a special flavor.
A professor from Northeast Agricultural University introduced: After years of purification and rejuvenation by scientific and technical personnel of Heilongjiang Shuaiyi Group, this unremarkable "Northeast Strange Rice" has been gradually promoted and planted among farmers within the province and has become a key variety for taking Heilongjiang Province's rice planting industry to a new level.
