China News Service, Hohhot, October 16th.
China News Agency reporter Zhang Wei
In late autumn, picturesque pictures of harvests spread across the land of China
Every seed sown in Hunan, Shandong, Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, Hainan.
Recently, the reporter interviewed Qi Shaowu, director of the National Hybrid Rice Engineering Technology Research Center.
academician The "dream of enjoying the coolness under the grass" in the saline-alkali soil
The "dream of enjoying the coolness under the grass" in the saline-alkali soil "The more fertilizer is used, the more water resources are wasted, and the more serious environmental pollution will be
Fellow Fellow The field test production, Hing'an quality rice per mu of 715.
academician Recalling the progress of scientific research on saline-alkali-tolerant rice, Qi Shaowu said that increasing the total grain output is the goal that Academician Yuan Longping has pursued all his life
academician "Today, we have built a national innovation center salinity rice technology, is headquartered in Sanya, Hainan Province, and gradually built sub-centers in Qingdao, Xinjiang, Hing'an other places
academician There are 400 million to 600 million mu of saline-alkali land in Xinjiang, and a "Xinjiang oasis" is to be built here.
"Hybrid Rice Covers the Global Dream": Will be the first to be realized in Africa
"Hybrid Rice Covers the Global Dream": Will be the first to be realized in AfricaAcademicianYuan Longping took the lead in conducting research on the utilization of rice heterosis in China in the 1960s
academician "At present, 60% to 70% of the area in the United States is hybrid rice, and it pays us more than 5 million US dollars in royalties each year
Over the years, Academician Yuan Longping has always adhered to the original intention of solving world food security issues.
academician The yield of many grains in Africa is very low, the previous yield was only two to three hundred catties per mu
Qi Shaowu told reporters that today, the global area of hybrid rice is expected to exceed 100 million mu
"Now Madagascar is planting hundreds of thousands of mu of rice every year, and the harvest is good.
The National Hybrid Rice Engineering Technology Research Center has dispatched its technical force to Madagascar
.
"We plan to use 3 to 5 years to completely solve the food security problem in Madagascar, so that the people across the country can eat
.
"
"Firm the Chinese people's rice bowl": store food in the ground and store food in technology
"Firm the Chinese people's rice bowl": store food in the ground and store food in technology Hainan only has more than 2 million mu of saline-alkali land along the coast.
Why is the headquarters of the National Saline-Alkali Tolerant Rice Technology Innovation Center located there?
"If the problem of planting saline-alkali-tolerant rice in Hainan is solved, and the varieties and technologies are mastered, then won't you be able to be in the forefront of the country and even the world! That's great!" Qi Shaowu often encounters such questions, he Always explain patiently
.
"The problem of food for the people of our country has been solved long ago.
What we are now facing is a complete solution to the problem of
eating good food.
" Qi Shaowu said that currently about 50% of China's area is planted with hybrid rice, and "the Chinese people's rice bowl" is China.
The people went from being full to eating well
.
Each region should have rice varieties suitable for its own geographical and ecological environment.
"So we have established academician workstations in different provinces to help local areas solve local agricultural problems on the one hand, and on the other to engage in scientific research
.
"
academician Yuan Longping once said: "The characteristic of the National Hybrid Rice Engineering Technology Research Center is the variety.
It is necessary to create some good varieties to further increase the yield
.
"
"Yuan
Lao 's goal of'increasing production by 100 kg per mu' has been achieved, and we will move towards a higher goal .
" Qi Shaowu told reporters, "We will hold a work promotion meeting at the end of this year, according to different latitudes, climates, soils and other environmental attributes.
, To study some local varieties in Xinjiang, Jiangsu and the three eastern provinces to fill the gap
.
"
Yuan Longping put forward the "Super Rice Program" in the late 1990s, with a yield of 700 kg, 800 kg, 900 kg per mu.
.
.
until 2014, when he exceeded the target of increasing the yield of 1,000 kg per mu
.
"It only took more than ten years.
This is something that many countries in the world can't do
.
" In Qi Shaowu's view, the construction of rice bases in various parts of China is actually step by step to complete Yuan Longping's dream-"The Dream of Enjoying the Cool under Hexia" and "Hybridization".
Rice covers the global dream"
.
"To cover the whole world, we must first cover the whole of China!" (End)
