People in the seed industry really are remarkable; behind every good seed, there's them.
When the whole world doubted that Chinese people could feed themselves, hybrid rice appeared, and the whole world cheered for China!
People in the seed industry, you really are remarkable!
People in the seed industry, you really are remarkable!
When people firmly believed that wheat was just "tall and thin" with little yield advantage, semi-dwarf wheat appeared, and a yield of a thousand jin per mu became SO EASY!
When everyone said corn grows so big, how could mechanization ever be achieved, corn suitable for mechanical sowing and harvesting appeared, and harvesting corn no longer relied only on manual labor.
When a virus called "TY" (Tomato yellow leaf curl virus) appeared, people thought tomatoes simply could not be grown anymore. Before long, tomato varieties resistant to "TY" appeared, and tomatoes were still just as red.
When foxtail millet could only be grown as a niche crop and people believed commercialization was impossible, hybrid foxtail millet appeared, yields per mu also exceeded a thousand jin, and the planting area increased year after year.
When people wished in their hearts that they could eat watermelon without spitting out seeds, seedless watermelon appeared, and ever since, eating watermelon has become simple too.
People in the seed industry, you really are remarkable!
People in the seed industry, you can be even more remarkable!
According to information from the National Meteorological Center, in recent times rainfall has been frequent in China's main wheat-producing areas, bringing hidden concerns for the summer harvest. According to incomplete statistics, small-scale outbreaks of wheat fusarium head blight have currently been reported in Hubei, Henan, Anhui and other places. In response to the current wheat quality problem, information we have gathered from multiple sources shows that Sinograin and the grain authorities have made it clear that, to ensure food safety, wheat with more than 3% diseased grains from fusarium head blight is strictly prohibited from being purchased and stored. If farmers find a relatively large number of diseased grains from fusarium head blight in wheat, they should handle it promptly. (Grain and Oils Market News, Xinhua Daily, June 3)
Right now, all parts of the country have entered the flood season, and one "yellow rainstorm warning" and "gale warning" after another is sounding. For farmers who have worked hard for a whole season, this is cruel, because what they will face is reduced yield or even total crop failure.
So, people in the seed industry, you can be even more remarkable, so that farmers no longer lose a whole season's harvest because of sudden severe weather. You can make wheat highly resistant to fusarium head blight; you can make mature wheat able to withstand heavy rain and strong winds without lodging; you can make wheat soaked by rainwater less quick to sprout, mold and deteriorate.
People in the seed industry, you really are remarkable, and you can be even more remarkable!
