Chapter 58 A word that wakes up the dreamer
Bell pepper is a subspecies of Capsicum that can produce sweet berries. It is an annual or perennial herb that evolved in North America from peppers native to tropical areas of Central and South America. Come.
Guo Yang previously learned from the city’s seed management department that the average seed production output value in Jiuquan in 2001 was approximately 1,300 yuan/mu.
The average income from vegetable seed production in the net room has reached 0.6-0.7 million yuan/mu, among which the average income from hybrid bell pepper and hybrid tomato seed production has reached 20,000 yuan/mu, and the highest can reach 100,000 yuan/mu. mu.
Of course, if you want to earn more than 100,000 yuan, you can imagine how stringent the conditions are.
Entering the seed store, Guo Yang chose the variety customization.
Then two round vessels appeared.
Guo Yang tried to put a portion of corn seeds into it.
Ding...
Sequence 1:
[Type]: Corn.
【Parent】: Female parent.
[Variety]: Self-bred line ly404.
[Characteristics]: Ordinary corn, with purple stem base and yellow anthers...the ears are cylindrical and 20.2 cm long...the seeds have strong germination potential and the seedlings are strong...
Wait to see clearly The word 'Mother' was clearly displayed on the interface, and Guo Yang couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Holy shit, cross breeding! Is it so traditional?"
Female parent, one of the parents participating in the cross.
In plant reproduction, the female plant of the previous generation also refers to the plant that receives pollen when flowers of different plants undergo cross-pollination.
He originally thought that the seed store's breeding method would directly generate seeds based on the needs input by users.
No matter how bad it is, there are cutting-edge breeding methods such as molecular breeding or genetic engineering breeding.
But I didn’t expect it to be a hybrid… No!
It cannot simply be called cross-breeding, although I can’t figure it out for a while.
But Guo Yang undoubtedly thinks that this method is excellent.
There will be no public opinion risks such as genetically modified seeds, and there will be no hidden dangers such as food safety.
And the seeds cultivated in this way have a clear source and bear less risks.
As for whether others can breed the same variety in the same way?
He has no control over it.
After roughly figuring out the logic, Guo Yang found another male seed and put it in.
Sequence 2 of the same style appeared.
And below the two, a breeding option appears.
Guo Yang pressed it with his fingers.
"Ding...please enter the crop production area (or natural geographical conditions), retain the characteristics of male and female parents, and the number of breeding..."
Behind the text, there are two numbers. .
One of them represents the probability of breeding success: 100%
The other represents the consumption of natural energy: 4.
Guo Yang continued to ponder for a while before he completely understood the logic of targeted cultivation.
It is indeed very similar to cross-breeding, but it also has a bit of genetic selection. In short, it feels very strange.
But what excites him is that the number of seeds to be cultivated can be selected. Depending on the amount of natural energy consumed, a maximum of 1,000 kilograms of seeds can be selected.
Guo Yang looked up to the sky and sighed, finally no longer having to work hard to propagate...
In addition, the user can choose to retain any or more traits of the male or female parent, or choose to produce area.
Generally speaking, the more and more special the traits, the wider the production area required, the lower the probability of success, and the more natural energy is consumed.
Guo Yang concluded that the grade of cultivated seeds can be judged based on the amount of natural energy consumed.
White, 1-20 points;
Blue, 20-100;
Purple, 100-500;
Red, 500-1000, you need to spend 5,000 points to unlock the purchase qualification;
Orange, more than 1,000, you need to spend 10,000 points to unlock the purchase qualification.
It is not a simple and crude breeding, but Guo Yang thinks this is very reasonable.
Just like this, the demand for parent materials is huge.
It seems that it is imperative to establish your own germplasm resource bank.
In addition to collecting known species, some wild germplasm resources also have to be searched and collected.
After becoming familiar with the operating logic of the seed store, Guo Yang did not panic and started cultivating in a targeted manner.
Natural energy is limited, so parent materials must be carefully selected!
It is too troublesome and tiring to try one by one.
In the future, he can’t let him try dozens or millions of germplasm resources next to each other in a seed store.
Therefore, Guo Yang found the person in charge of the seed resource bank.
Ask him to compile a list and list the types and various characteristics of each seed in a table.
The same work must be done for germplasm resources collected and introduced in the future. Germplasm resource banks must also move closer to specialization.
You can also take advantage of this period to introduce targeted species at home and abroad.
...
Guo Yang received the materials from his teacher Weng Lixin and read them carefully.
The Qaidam Basin is the granary of Qinghai Province.
The altitude of the agricultural area at the bottom of the basin is 2650~3200m.
The annual average temperature is 2.3~5.2℃, the average temperature in January is -10~-14.3℃, and the average temperature in July is 15~17℃.
From 1954 to 1960, large-scale reclamation was carried out in the Qaidam Basin, with an area of 1.26 million acres.
Later, due to drought, salinity, sandstorm and soil degradation, it was abandoned and abandoned year by year.
By 2002, there were only about 620,000 acres of cultivated land left, of which about 81% were medium- and low-yield fields and only 19% were high-yield fields.
The management mode is mainly state-owned farms, supplemented by small-scale decentralized operations by farmers. Among them, 362,000 acres are state-run pastures and 259,500 acres are rural farmers.
But the actual sown area of state-owned farms and ranches was only 270,000 acres last year.
The cultivated area is only 21% of the peak in 1960, that is, the abandoned farmland accounts for almost 4/5.
The main agricultural products are ordinary soft spring wheat and ordinary spring rapeseed, accounting for 68% and 29.5% of the sown area respectively.
However, due to the low protein and gluten content of spring wheat, flour mills are unwilling to process it, residents are unwilling to eat it, and livestock are prone to diarrhea after eating it.
Leading to a large backlog of wheat and low economic benefits.
At the same time, the quality and efficiency of spring rapeseed are also not good.
So Qing Province has the idea of adjusting the planting structure of the Qaidam Basin.
With the advancement of the development of the western region, it is required to enclose severely degraded grassland, lightly graze severely degraded grassland, and use grassland for livestock in the grassland contracted by herdsmen.
Grassland control has been tightened, but Qinghai Province has more than 5 million cattle and more than 15 million sheep annually, which are the number of livestock necessary for the lives of ethnic minority people.
As a result, the feed required for cattle and sheep supplementary fattening and beef cattle and dairy farming is increasing year by year.
However, the only vegetable protein in the feed resources in Qinghai Province is rapeseed cake, and all soybean meal needs to be transported from outside the province.
Therefore, planting alfalfa and using low-cost and low-cost alfalfa meal instead of soybean meal as protein feed has become the choice of the Qinghai Provincial Government.
It’s just that it’s just getting started.
According to the assumption of the expert team, in the agricultural cultivation of the Qaidam Basin, the cultivated land area owned by several agricultural reclamation enterprises accounts for 50% of the total cultivated land area of the basin, and they are concentrated together.
So the focus of development can be on agricultural reclamation enterprises to promote the development of surrounding rural areas.
In addition, the climate conditions for alfalfa cultivation in Qinghai Province are suitable; the terrain is flat and concentrated, which is conducive to mechanized operations and centralized procurement, processing, storage and transportation.
At the same time, the planting area is large. In addition to the Qaidam Basin, alfalfa can be planted in Tanggemu Farm, Yuan Xinzhe Farm, and Wayuxiangka Farm from the Gonghe Basin to the Chaka Basin.
With the reconstruction of the railway from the provincial capital to Golmud, transportation from the Qaidam Basin to the mainland will become more convenient.
In addition to meeting the needs of the province, the alfalfa powder produced can also be sold outside the province and surrounding countries.
The Qinghai Provincial Government really wants to adjust the structure of the planting industry, but planting alfalfa is only the suggestions and assumptions of experts.
The main reason why instructor Weng Lixin was invited to go was to study the causes of grassland degradation and how to repair it.
According to what the teacher told him, pasture degradation is nothing more than overgrazing, seasonal conflicts between grass and livestock, backward animal husbandry methods, and indiscriminate digging and harvesting of herbs.
Guo Yang asked again, what causes rodent and insect pests?
The reason is actually related to the indiscriminate harvesting of medicinal herbs.
The grassland in the pastoral areas of Qing Province is huge, rich in rare vegetation, and contains many precious Chinese herbal medicines.
For example, Qinghai Rhododendron, Cordyceps Sinensis, Fritillaria, etc.
In order to increase their economic income, herdsmen dig up medicinal herbs on a large scale, destroying the root system of the grassland and causing serious desertification of the grassland.
At the same time, the ecological balance of pastoral areas is out of balance, causing wolves, eagles, birds, etc. to lose their habitats, and causing harmful animals such as rats and insects to multiply in large numbers.
They dig holes in the ground and gnaw at grass roots, destroying the nutritional structure of the soil, resulting in contiguous "black soil shoals", exacerbating grassland degradation.
Finally, Weng Lixin did not forget to make suggestions to Guo Yang.
"You have the channel to contact me above, and I am somewhat thin in the industry."
"Your Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company can definitely expand the grassland ecological restoration project. Taking advantage of the development of the western region, it will be very easy to take on some government projects such as returning farmland to grassland and grassland restoration in the five northwest provinces."
"This is the right way. If you want to make money in agriculture, you still have to follow the policies."
Guo Yang nodded thoughtfully.
You earn money from the government by doing projects, but you spend your own money by running a ranch.
But it seems that both are ecological restoration and can accumulate natural energy.
One is to make money and the other is to spend money.
For a moment, he seemed to have discovered something extraordinary.
