High oil corn is expected to become the main maize planting type in China (10.4)

According to song Tongming, Professor of China Agricultural University and corn expert in China, high oil corn may become the main cultivation type of corn in the 21st century in terms of scientific and technological content, genetic value-added and application High oil corn is a new type of corn with high added value created artificially It has completed the combination of high yield and high quality It is the most important development of Maize Genetic Breeding since the advent of maize hybrids In terms of grain quality, the oil content, total energy level and protein content of high oil corn are higher than those of conventional corn, and it also contains higher vitamin A and E In terms of yield, the per mu yield of high oil corn has reached the level of conventional corn When the grain of high oil corn is physiological mature, the stem, leaf and straw are still green and juicy, which contain high protein and other nutrients, so they are good fodder for herbivores In this way, the "double quality" of high oil corn grain and straw can achieve "double value-added" Song Tongming said: "high oil corn represents the direction of China's corn structural adjustment, and also conforms to the world's corn development trend Judging from its high scientific and technological content, multiple genetic value-added and wide use, high oil corn may become the main cultivation type of corn in the future " Since the mid-1980s, China's corn breeding experts have successively created the highest number and average oil content of high oil corn population in the world, and successfully bred commercial hybrids of high oil corn The oil content of high oil maize hybrids represented by "high oil maize 115" is more than 8%, which is much higher than that of the high oil maize varieties popularized abroad China's high oil corn varieties have not only been rapidly promoted in China, but also aroused the purchase desire of DuPont pioneer company and Monsanto Company Song Tongming said that the cultivation and commercialization of high oil corn has derived a "brand new family" in the ancient corn planting industry, which has opened up a vast world for the adjustment of planting structure and the development of corn processing industry in China GHX (author:)
