Xinhua News Agency, Changsha, September 3 (Reporter Xie Ying) Hybrid rice must not only solve the problem of “having enough to eat,” but also bear the responsibility of “eating safely.” On the afternoon of the 2nd, Academician Yuan Longping, while unveiling the “Huilonghu Organic Super Hybrid Rice Research and Development Base,” expressed the hope that by combining super hybrid rice production technology with organic production technology, the per-unit yield and benefits of organic rice could be increased, thereby promoting food safety and increasing farmers' income.Өгүүлэл нь ...-аас авсанFOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/mn/11261/
The Huilonghu Organic Super Hybrid Rice Research and Development Base is the first organic super hybrid rice research and development base in Hunan Province, jointly established by the China National Hybrid Rice Research and Development Center and Hunan Huilonghu Modern Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd. It will take the lead in conducting research on related cultivation technologies and serve as a demonstration and public exchange platform for organic hybrid rice across the province. The base plans to establish 350 mu of standard organic super hybrid rice research and development base from 2009 to 2011, and from 2011 to 2015 will focus on establishing a 200,000-mu organic super hybrid rice extension base in northwestern Hunan.Өгүүлэл нь ...-аас авсанFOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/mn/11261/
The reporter observed at this research and development base that the organic super hybrid rice, which uses proprietary organic fertilizer and adopts physical methods and biological technologies for pest control and disease treatment, is growing well. Base researcher Peng Jiming told the reporter that under the guidance of Academician Yuan Longping, the 180 mu of rice fields cultivated by organic methods had all reached full heading by the end of August, with an estimated per-unit yield of 600 to 650 kilograms, more than 30 percent higher than the per-unit yield of conventional organic rice. Both the yield and quality of the rice have been greatly improved, and large-scale trial planting will be carried out next year.Өгүүлэл нь ...-аас авсанFOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/mn/11261/
Academician Yuan Longping stated that while ensuring increased rice yields, super hybrid rice has also intensified research on further improving rice quality. Among the super hybrid rice combinations that China has already developed, some rice varieties are even comparable in quality to the world-renowned Thai rice. He said that at present, the experiment and demonstration of organic super hybrid rice, first launched in Changsha, is a new exploration to improve rice quality through ecological cultivation and help rice farmers increase the economic benefits of grain production.Өгүүлэл нь ...-аас авсанFOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/mn/11261/
