Chapter 237: The seed industry borers must be eliminated in one fell swoop
From the perspective of the output value of the vegetable seed industry, the overall data ranking over the years is cucumbers, followed by peppers.
Bell peppers, eggplants and cabbage also have higher seed industry output values than other vegetable varieties.
The smallest output value is radish.
The main reason is that the demand for radish seeds is small, while the market demand for cabbage, tomatoes and cucumbers is large and the prices are not cheap.
In terms of seed unit price, the most expensive seeds are tomatoes, followed by bell peppers.
Thought for a while.
Guo Yang decided to cultivate another tomato variety.
The varieties cultivated before were processed varieties, which were not very interesting in terms of product appearance and flavor quality.
Tomatoes are also hardest hit by the proliferation of foreign varieties.
In order to make the voice of domestic vegetable seeds no longer "weak", Guo Yang decided to breed a variety with comprehensive performance and resistance to attack.
Twenty points of natural energy is enough.
After some attempts, a new tomato variety was soon born.
[Category]: Tomato
[Variety]: Unnamed
[Characteristics]: Flavor tomato variety, rich in flavor, sweet and sour, rich and layered taste, suitable for fresh eating... Lycopene **, Vc content **, sugar-acid ratio **.
Cultivation completed.
Guo Yang doesn’t understand some data indicators very well, but it’s okay to think about them.
Commercial varieties such as high yield, disease resistance, storage and transportation resistance should not be too bad, because one of the parents is the processed variety cultivated by Guo Yang before.
The natural energy has just been used up.
But just as Guo Yang stared at the seed store for a while, the natural energy jumped a little higher.
This intuitive change seemed to inject energy into his body.
Work, work!
Achievement makes me happy.
But he was not in a hurry to leave the breeding laboratory, but planned to use this mentality to study and recharge for a while at Tianhe Seed Industry Science Academy.
Only later can we come up with varieties.
In the next few days, Guo Yang’s daily routine was to screen and identify germplasm resources and conduct molecular experimental research with scientific researchers.
——
In Wuyuan, located in the Hetao area, agricultural machinery is speeding up spring sowing, and the seeding machinery is operating in an orderly manner.
Yang Xiaobing’s body was full of stains.
But he told the visiting XH News reporter while directing the agricultural machinery operators.
“The variety we grow is the domestic variety Tianmai No. 1. The yield per mu is expected to reach about 450 kilograms. Combining planting subsidies, order sales, multiple planting after wheat and other income, the net income per mu of land reaches 2,000 Yuan or more is no problem.”
The reporter nodded with satisfaction, and the camera turned to the agricultural machinery.
More than 10 graders and seeders shuttled back and forth to complete land leveling, sowing and other operations in sequence. The sowing progress was very fast.
Reporter Li Yunping couldn't help but sigh: "What a modern agricultural park!"
Liu Jun, deputy secretary of Xinmin Town, followed with his hands folded in front of him and said with a smile:
“When the county organized a farmland competition, the number of laborers at sunrise in this village alone reached 3,000. , dredging, building canals, and preparing the land, it took a month or two to take shape.”
“The original nearly 100,000 acres of low- and medium-yield fields in the town have been transformed in the past two years. All have become high-yield fields."
Li Yunping asked curiously: "Is there any specific statistical data on how much the people's income has increased?"
"Is there any 200 yuan?"
< br>
Liu Jun's thoughts were immediately brought back to a year and a half ago.
At that time, he was also with Yang Xiaobing. Yang Xiaobing, who is now very impressive in the village, was just a shaky farmer at that time.
But there was a young man who kept cheering him up.
Liu Jun also predicted an increase in income at that time, 100 to 200 yuan/mu, which was the increase in income he predicted for medium- and low-yield fields.
At that time, he was opposed by Guo Yang.
Jiahe's confidence is to increase income by at least 500 yuan per mu.
But in fact it far exceeds this data.
Liu Jun smiled and faced the camera, "Now the lowest income increase per mu is close to a thousand yuan."
"This year, the town plans to plant 32,000 acres of wheat and 147,000 acres of corn. , Encouraged by the income increase and grain subsidy policies, farmers are very enthusiastic about planting.”
“Seize the farming season to plant wheat and corn, ensure that the grain planting tasks are completed as planned, and strive to maintain high grain production. Contribute to ensuring national food security”
At a field sowing demonstration not far from here, the sales scene of Tianhe Seed Industry was still lively.
Tianyu No. 1 is a famous brand seed. When the planting season really comes, the sales of seeds have already ended early.
However, the popularity of Jiahe Snow Flour has made the Tianmai No. 1 variety also popular in the market this year.
Especially in Wuyuan.
The sowing party was crowded with people, and the farmers present were in high spirits. While learning the key points of sowing, they also did not forget to place orders for seeds.
In this emotionally charged scene, two people were so calm that they seemed out of place.
Qu Yang and his first-hand recommendation promoted Cheng Liming, vice president of sales.
Compared with Qu Yang's light and sparse hairstyle, Cheng Liming looks much younger and behaves more elegantly.
Cheng Liming said: "The order price of Tianmai No. 1 this year is still 1.2 yuan/catty, and the profit per mu of wheat has reached 1,080 yuan, which is higher than the profit of ordinary corn.
Many people did not plant it in previous years. Farmers who want to switch to Tianyu No. 1 this year did not buy the seeds in the early stage. Now the technical and service personnel are taking the opportunity to promote Tianmai No. 1. ”
Qu Yang said with a smile: "It's bright in the east and also bright in the west. This is really an unexpected surprise."
"Hahaha...it will be more difficult to sell corn seeds this year."
This year There is a structural surplus of corn seeds. The best seed, Tianyu No. 1, has been sold out and occupies the most fertile market.
The rest are divided into several echelons to compete for the remaining stock market.
Denghai-Pioneer's Xianyu 335 let the deck go, which put Zheng Dan 958, who was struggling to fight against counterfeiting, into a dilemma.
The lower the seed cost of the deck, the lower the selling price.
Faced with the competition from a large number of low-priced seeds, Denong’s dealers could not bear it anymore and started selling at reduced prices. The phenomenon of ‘increase without increasing profit’ is very common.
It can only be described with one word: miserable.
I thought it had nothing to do with Tianhe and just wanted to watch the show. Unexpectedly, Tianmai No. 1 appeared halfway.
Spring wheat is sown at this time.
Spring wheat is grown in places with very cold winters. Because winter is too cold to sow seeds, it is planted after the beginning of spring and is called spring wheat;
The main producing provinces include Heilongjiang Province, Xinjiang Province, Long Province and Mongolia Province.
In recent years, the sown area of spring wheat across the country has been around 30 million acres. Because the benefits are not as good as those of crops such as corn and cotton, the sown area has been decreasing year by year.
At this time, Tianmai No. 1 suddenly popped up.
Caught all corn seed companies off guard.
Qu Yang felt very comfortable when he thought about Tianmai No. 1 competing with corn for the seed market.
At the same time, it will also change farmers’ original seed usage habits.
Unlike corn, which has a high commercial rate, wheat can be planted by oneself, and farmers also have the habit of planting it by themselves.
And many provinces have government guidance prices for wheat seeds, so the price space for wheat seeds is limited.
Tianmai No. 1 is priced at only 2.5 yuan/jin despite the upper limit.
The seed quantity per mu is 26 to 28 kilograms, and the seed cost is 65 to 70 yuan. A simple calculation by farmers shows that the cost performance is not much worse than Tianyu No. 1.
In areas with conditions for spring wheat planting, farmers who could not buy Tianyu No. 1 seeds have switched to Tianmai No. 1.
The already fierce competition for corn seeds is even worse.
Cheng Liming also feels that the sales work this year is particularly easy, and farmers come as soon as they smell the smell.
This is the brand value of Tianhe.
As long as you build a reputation among the majority of growers, the subsequent promotion work will be much easier.
However, there are also hidden dangers that have not been resolved.
Cheng Liming said: "The deck situation of Corn Seed is not optimistic. Weiguan said two days ago that there is a trend of emerging in many places."
"The profits of Tianyu No. 1 are too huge. There will never be a shortage of people who take risks."
Qu Yang said: "These people may be thinking that during the summer sowing season, Tianhe may relax their vigilance against counterfeiting."
"What does the boss mean?"
"We will carry out the crackdown on counterfeiting to the end."
"Continuing like this is not an option. There is no way to guard against thieves for a thousand days."
"The boss will find a way." Qu Yang said with a smile: "Believe in the boss, Jiahe's background is very strong."
Cheng Liming was surprised. In fact, many people had privately discussed who was behind the boss and Jiahe.
But the boss was born as a farm boy, and his educational background was that of a potential academician.
Jiahe's equity is also relatively simple. The only known cross-shareholdings of a few subsidiaries are the three shareholders of Agricultural Development, China Development Bank, and National Grain.
Qu Yang saw his confused look and didn't say much.
He has communicated with the boss, and the boss’s determination to crack down on counterfeiting has never wavered, but now Weiguan’s anti-counterfeiting team is still collecting evidence.
Qu Yang asked: "What's the situation with Tiandou No. 1?"
The 100,000 acres of organic soybeans developed in cooperation with Jiusan Grain and Oil have not yet reached the season for returning green manure to the fields this season.
But in addition to these 100,000 acres, there are nearly 200,000 acres of seeds.
Cheng Liming smiled and said, "It's almost sold out. Crops that can grow on soil with a salt content of more than 0.5% are rare."
"Tiandou No. 1 seeds are comparable to alfalfa He No. 1 is much cheaper, 5 yuan/jin, the price difference is 100 times.”
“That’s twice as high as the average price.”
Soybeans are a crop with low unit yield, low land yield and low comparative efficiency.
In addition, the current low soybean price makes farmers The enthusiasm for planting soybeans is not high, and even many farmers in Black Province no longer plant soybeans.
The oppression of imported soybeans from abroad reminded Qu Yang of what his boss said.
“There is no need to worry about soybean pricing, and the first purpose is to quickly expand the promotion area.”
Tianhe has indeed done this. Considering the salt-alkali tolerance and yield of Tiandou No. 1, the price of 5 yuan/jin is indeed very low.
However, except on saline-alkali land, the benefits of Tiandou No. 1 on ordinary land of 700 to 800 yuan per mu are still not as good as that of corn.
The decline of domestic soybeans can only be reversed by relying on saline-alkali soil.
……
“Boss, what good corn seeds are there now?”
In a seed market in Northeast China, Wei Guan, dressed as a farmer, followed several farmers into a seed sales store.
And set their sights on a corn seed called ‘Tianyu No. 1’.
Seeing that several people were attracted, the boss stepped forward and led Weiguan and others to another corn seed called 'Dongdan 1311'.
Weiguan pretended to have some doubts, "Is this?"
The boss tried his best to promote, "This is a new corn variety that was just released this year. It is disease-resistant, lodging-resistant and high-yielding."
Wei Guan asked: "How did you grow it?"
"Same as Tianyu No. 1, it is a dense-tolerant and high-yielding variety, and the cultivation points are also very similar."
Compared with Tianyu No. 1, Jade No. 1 and Dongdan 1311 are much cheaper, only 12 yuan per catty.
Weiguan made the decision: "Okay, let's take this Dongdan 1311, 400 pounds."
This is just an ordinary scene Weiguan saw in the seed market during this period, Dongdan 1311 New varieties that had never been heard of were suddenly promoted in the Northeast.
He checked all the national-approved and provincial-approved corn varieties in the three eastern provinces, but found no such person.
He thought of a word.
Publish before review!
Coupled with some of the evidence collected previously, Wei Guan tightened his grip. He should be able to kill many big tigers this time.
Fengtian, East Asia Seed Industry.
Chief breeder Zhu Hong rushed into the office with an angry face. Xu Fuchun looked up and asked in surprise: "What's wrong, Lao Zhu?"
"Why did Dongdan 1311 start selling?"
Zhu Hong's dissatisfaction was clearly shown on his face. When he learned the news, his whole body felt numb.
This was completely beyond his intention.
Xu Fuchun stood up, walked to Zhu Hong's side, and wanted to pat Zhu Hong's shoulder with his hand, but Zhu Hong stepped away and avoided it.
Xu Fuchun smiled nonchalantly, "The province has already taken care of it. Now there is a shortage of high-quality seeds on the market. Farmers can harvest more grain and we can make more money. Isn't it just right?"
Zhu Hong pointed at Xu Fuchun with a trembling hand.
He never imagined that in just a few years, the comrade he once regarded as his own would now look like this.
Zhu Hong said in a low voice: "It is a violation to push ahead without trial!"
"Which law was violated?"
"Seed Law!"
Xu Fuchun raised his eyebrows and said nonchalantly: "According to the provisions of the Seed Law, it is recommended before trial and handled by the agricultural department at the county level and above. What is there to worry about? "
"And how can this be considered illegal? Even if the public security department comes, they will say that it has not caused any harm to the farmers."
Zhu Hong smiled and shook his head, regretting it. .
He originally had his own breeding philosophy, and he also bred a once-splendid variety like Dongdan 90.
Although the blow brought by Tianyu 1 was huge, it also brought new research directions to the breeding community.
Relying on the accumulation of germplasm resources in the East Asia Seed Industry over the years, he is confident that he will be able to cultivate dense-tolerant and high-yielding varieties with true Dongdan style within a few years.
I didn’t expect to end up on this path.
He sighed: "Sooner or later something will happen."
——
Jiuquan, Guo Yang's study trip was interrupted by a phone call from Wei Guan.
After carefully reading the information sent back by Weiguan, Guo Yang thought for a while and contacted various breeders and victims through various channels.
For example, the breeders of Zhengdan 958, Du Lao, Nongda 108, wheat variety Xinong 979, sunflower variety SH303, Zhongjiao No. 5...
Then they sorted out the materials and described the variety approval. current situation, loopholes in relevant regulations, and suggestions.
The attachment is an anti-counterfeiting case of Tianhe and other seed industry companies, as well as similar situations in East Asia Seed Industry, the dangers of fake seeds, and the innovation of the seed industry has been extremely suppressed.
The data continued to be collected, when the data began to be compiled by Bi Qiang and his mentor Weng Lixin.
Guo Yang dialed a certain number.
A phone number that he had saved for several years but never contacted.
While waiting anxiously, the call was answered.
"Hello, Lin Bu, I am Guo Yang."
In the capital, a look of surprise flashed across Lin Bu's face, remembering the young man he had met four years ago.
The opening is 200,000 acres of saline-alkali land!
In fact, others not only did it, but also did it unexpectedly well.
Lin Bu said: "I am, you say."
"Lin Bu, I would like to report to you in person about some situations in the domestic seed industry. Can you make an appointment in advance? ”
After a long silence, Lin Bu was also thinking, there is something in this young man's words!
But it’s okay to meet him. After all, the big leader has also communicated with him.
Jiahe has made brilliant achievements in saline-alkali land improvement, desert control, and the development of seeds and agricultural machinery.
Also often boasts that it is a project approved and guided by the Ministry of Agriculture, so why not see it.
“I will be in the capital the day after tomorrow, so I can spare half an hour.”
Two days later, Guo Yang met Lin Bu as he wished.
Without much greeting, Guo Yang handed over the prepared folder.
The catalog title at the beginning caught Lin Bu’s attention.
[On the shortcomings of the variety approval system, reform is imperative]--Signature: Du Xin, Xinong, Corn Research Institute of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences...
[The seed industry FB is connected from top to bottom, National crop variety approval is worth hundreds of millions per year] - signed by the director of a provincial seed station, Tianhe Seed Industry, Sanrui Agriculture.
[Case and Pictures]
[Anti-Counterfeiting Scene]
[Chain of Evidence]
…
For more than half an hour, only the Lin Department was in the office The sound of flipping through paper documents.
Guo Yang observed carefully. Lin Bu's expression seemed unchanged, but he was browsing faster and faster. This was because he was angry.
After a while, Lin Bu closed the folder and said with a half-smile: "You are really serious. If you don't come, you will give me the whole big news."
" I was forced to have no choice but to go to my parents.”
