Chapter 62 Cultivation
Seed processing center, seed production and propagation base, pasture processing plant, dairy farm, etc., multiple projects of Tianhe and Alfalfa are under intensive construction.
As the temperature gradually drops, there will be more snowfall. The further back, the greater the impact on project construction.
But fortunately there is no complicated engineering construction. Although the efficiency has been slowed down to ensure safety, the work has not been completely stopped.
In short, it should be completed this winter.
Guo Yang can also take advantage of the winter time to improve the organizational management and personnel structure of Tianhe Seed Industry and Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry.
Next year, Tianhe Seed Industry will begin to set sail, and Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry also plans to contract the ecological restoration project of the local government.
Therefore, the staff of each department must be replenished in advance.
In addition, the 200,000 mu saline-alkali land improvement project has also come to an end.
The emergence rate of alfalfa is not high, but because the amount of seeds used is sufficient, the overall coverage rate is not bad.
The last batch of alfalfa sown has also grown to five or six centimeters tall.
It’s just that alfalfa seedlings grow slowly, have weak resistance, and are easily affected by insect pests, weeds and harsh environments. In addition, the first snowfall this year came early. Lao Xiang estimates that the overwintering rate of late-sown alfalfa is only Reaching more than 80%.
As for alfalfa, which is the first to be sown, management of pests, diseases, and weeds must also be strengthened.
The complete set of Claas silage imported by Guo Yang also came into play at this time, and it was also equipped with several domestic agricultural machinery.
Cultivating, weeding, water and fertilizer management, basically there are machines working every day.
The agricultural machinery operation team also took the opportunity to expand to 10 people.
Zhang Wei is still quite motivated. According to Lao Xiang, the operating proficiency of the entire agricultural machinery team has also improved a lot, and operating procedures have gradually been established.
At least the operators rarely injure the seedlings when working now, and they also have a basic understanding of the equipment of pesticides and the depth and quantity of cultivating and fertilizing.
Looking at this situation, Guo Yang feels that this team may really be able to go out for a walk next year.
As for the Capital Investment Company, Guo Yang felt that Yang Cheng had become a little restless during this period.
After soybean futures rose rapidly in the early stage, they have recently entered a period of shock adjustment, but Guo Yang still has no intention of closing his position.
This made Yang Cheng a little anxious.
According to Yang Cheng, the natural rubber market has begun to change recently
Take the June 2003 contract as an example. The futures price of natural rubber has been 9,085 yuan per ton since October 2002. So far, It has risen to 10,850 yuan/ton.
This gave Yang Cheng the idea of changing positions.
But Guo Yang flatly refused.
In his previous life, there were too many varieties in the futures market, and he did not have the ability to study them one by one. He had no understanding of natural rubber.
And since we know that soybean futures will not peak until mid-December next year, then holding a position during this period is a sure profit.
Why bother lying in the muddy water of natural rubber?
……
In the temporary germplasm library.
After recent collection, we have collected all the corn, wheat and bell pepper seeds that can be collected in a short time nearby.
Even Tianhe Seed Industry has introduced 12 red bell pepper varieties and 6 yellow bell pepper varieties from multinational companies.
Guo Yangdian opened a seed store and started cultivating new varieties.
It was the first time to breed, so he decided to give it a try first.
So we chose to cultivate an unplanned Northwest local pepper variety.
The parent materials cultivated are the "pig large intestine" screw pepper and the newly purchased sheep's horn pepper.
Ding...
Sequence 1:
[Type]: Chili pepper
[Parent]: Male parent
[Variety]: 'Pig Large Intestine' screw pepper
[Characteristics]: Thin outer peel, low fiber content, moderate spiciness, green aroma, good taste Good... It has low yield, poor resistance and poor adaptability, and can only be planted in small quantities in dry and cool parts of the northwest.
Sequence 2:
[Type]: Chili pepper
[Parent]: Female parent
[Variety]: Lamb's horn pepper [Characteristics]: The plant has strong growth potential, early maturity, the fruit is curved like a horn, green, with grooves...High yield, strong disease resistance, suitable Cultivation in open fields in spring and summer in Long Province and similar climate areas...
Guo Yang chose to cultivate.
Then there is the choice of production area, which is still mainly in the northwest region.
The next step was to retain and enhance the parent traits. Guo Yang chose the taste of the screw pepper, as well as the yield and disease resistance of the horn pepper.
At this time, the cultivation interface shows that 15 points of natural energy are required, but the success rate is still as high as 90%.
This is definitely excellent in Guo Yang's recent tests.
It also proves from the side that "pig large intestine" screw pepper and sheep's horn pepper are very suitable varieties.
After thinking about it, Guo Yang added two more items in the traits column: it can be used for both fresh food processing and mechanized production.
The reason for this selection is mainly to make the cultivated pepper varieties have better promotion value.
The northwest is a vast territory, and there are many areas suitable for growing peppers. If the varieties can be mechanized for planting and production, the difficulty of promotion will be much reduced.
In order to avoid conflicts, he deliberately did not select the trait of strong growth potential of horn peppers. Strong growth potential is not conducive to mechanized production.
After adding it, the success rate suddenly dropped to 70%, and the natural energy consumed also reached 22 points.
Although the success rate has dropped, it also means that if the cultivation is successful, you will harvest blue-level pepper seeds.
And the success rate of 70% is actually not low.
Guo Yang has even seen that the success rate is less than 10%. He feels that even if this variety is successfully cultivated, it will be picked up everywhere in the future.
For example, the pollination rate is extremely high...
After checking again, Guo Yang finally determined the number of seeds.
No need to say, it is definitely 1,000 pounds, which is top-level, and only requires 1 point of natural energy.
"Ding... A total of 23 points of natural energy will be consumed. Do you want to cultivate it?"
"Yes."
The round vessel began to vibrate violently, making Guo Yang nervous.
He kept mumbling, "Bless Master Guan... I will burn more paper for you in the coming year."
After a long time, the seed shop stopped, and a round vessel appeared on it. A turquoise icon.
It seemed that the cultivation was successful. Guo Yang also breathed a sigh of relief and clicked the button.
[Type]: Chili pepper
[Variety]: Unnamed
[Characteristics]: Used both as fresh food and for processing, medium-early maturing, compact plant type. The fruits are bright in color, spicy and fragrant, with excellent quality and good taste... The yield of fresh peppers is 9,000 kilograms per mu, and the yield of dried peppers is 1,000 kilograms per mu.
[Region]: Suitable for open field planting in spring and summer in the north.
After studying it carefully for a while, Guo Yang felt that this variety should be excellent.
Because it was the first variety of Tianhe Seed Industry, Guo Yang named it ‘Tianjiao No. 1’.
From the perspective of characteristics, Tianjiao No. 1 retains the excellent quality of the ‘pig intestine’ screw pepper and the high-yielding characteristics of the goat’s horn pepper.
It has even been enhanced to a certain extent.
Old farmers’ output of fresh peppers does not exceed 8,000 kilograms at most.
However, the average yield of Tianjiao No. 1 given by the seed store is 9,000 kilograms. Due to the difference in planting level, the high yield of Tianjiao No. 1 must be more than 10,000 kilograms.
The first seed cultivation went very smoothly, which made Guo Yang feel relieved, and he started researching the directional cultivation of corn, wheat and sweet pepper.
There are just too many seed resources collected from corn, wheat and bell pepper, even after filtering through the list, there are still many.
For three days, Guo Yang tried various seed combinations in the resource library.
