Chapter 236 Continuous Cultivation of New VarietiesPastures generally last 3 to 4 years, and if you persist, you can still mow them for a few more years. However, Guo Yang plans to rotate his crops to produce seed corn and other seeds after this year. This was also the initial plan. The current soil and irrigation conditions can fully meet the requirements for seed production. Xie Shijie and Yu Xiaochuan also followed Guo Yang, and the three of them had a brief exchange. Although Yu Xiaochuan and Xie Shijie were reluctant to let go, after all, these 20 acres of grassland could bring nearly 10 billion yuan in revenue every year in the hands of Alfalfa. But the boss is right, this is fertile land and its value should be fully utilized. Moreover, as alfalfa grows over time, some stubborn weeds may appear. For example, Cuscuta australis. Rotating a season of corn at this time can also help control pests and diseases.
Waiting for the next rotation season and planting alfalfa again can bring greater economic benefits. The soil can also be further improved in this process. At the same time, Guo Yang asked Xie Shijie to find the Agricultural University team to survey the new saline-alkali land plots, and the existing team would directly start new projects nearby. When the three of them arrived at the cafeteria, it was already quite lively. Muhe's cafeteria was not as luxurious as Jiahe's. But it is also fully equipped, and bursts of fragrance are already wafting from the kitchen next door. "The fish today is absolutely amazing, especially the wild crucian carp. If any woman who needs milk drinks it, there will definitely be a sufficient source of milk." "I want to go fishing next time." "I'm just afraid you don't have the skills of a boss." Guo Yang looked at the group of people chatting and laughing, and said with a smile: "You can fish, but don't go fishing in the prohibited areas. It would be fun if you get caught." "Hahaha……" Xie Shijie said at the side: "The boss is just trying to scare you. Jiahe may invest in building an international fishing sports base." "Then you'll have to go fishing every day." Guo Yang listened to a group of people bragging and enjoyed the occasional flattery. He felt that such days were pretty good. Both the body and mind are relaxed. Lunch was ready quickly. Braised white-spotted pike, pike stewed with tofu, crucian carp tofu soup, and braised crucian carp. Twenty to thirty kilograms of fish filled several large tables. Paired with some other dishes, you can also have a drink and a good chat on weekends. "Boss, you have to come more often in the future. It's been almost half a year and you've only come once." "Aren't you afraid that I'll come and cause trouble?"
"Go ahead and look for it. If we can find it, we will definitely change it." "The main thing is that every time the boss comes, the food will definitely be improved." Guo Yang paused, raised his glass and said loudly: "I have indeed come less frequently in the past year or so. It's mainly because you guys are doing a good job. There is no need for me to come, and I may not come often in the future." "But I will always remember your contributions." After saying that, Guo Yang also drank it all in one gulp. Guo Yang's alcohol tolerance is not that good, he can only drink a little. He is also very restrained in normal times. Except for work needs, he basically does not drink at all. After eating and chatting with employees for a while, it was already past two in the afternoon. The car sped on the way back, and there was a breath of spring on both sides of the road. Even though they got up early in the morning, Xie Shijie and Luo Xiu were still excited and talked about fishing all the way. Luo Xiu looked through the rearview mirror and noticed that his boss was also awake, so he asked, "Boss, when the private plane arrives, are we going to Altay?" Guo Yang thought for a moment and said, "It may be a little early. The temperature in Altay is lower and the fish haven't started to bite yet. It's best to wait until June." "There's no rush. Without a lure boat, it's hard to play in Xiangyang Lake." Guo Yang still remembers that the lakeside of Xiangyang Lake was full of tall and dense reeds, which was not very friendly to the moving fishing method of lure. Xie Shijie said: "For my level of fishing, I haven't even figured out how to do it yet, so Jiayuguan and Jiuquan are good places to practice." Luo Xiu didn't say anything. He had to go wherever the boss went. Judging from the boss's personality, he will definitely be busy for a while before going to the Asafoetida Desert. …… After two days of fishing over the weekend, Guo Yang felt much better. In the new week, Guo Yang came to the laboratory of the germplasm resource bank early. He decided to cultivate new seeds. Another two months passed. Natural energy also increased from 303 points to 405 points, and the accumulation speed became slightly faster. 405 points is more than enough to achieve this training goal. My mind sank into the laboratory. Guo Yang decided to start with corn. The most important target traits were drought resistance and low water consumption. The second is yield, and resistance to diseases and pests. Many corresponding genes have been screened out before, and only some seeds taken out from the germplasm resource bank last time have not yet completed screening and evaluation. Therefore, Guo Yang first spent a morning completing the screening and evaluation of the remaining germplasm resources. It was not until the afternoon that we began pairing seeds with corresponding high-quality genes.
I have to say, this method is much faster. In just a short while, Guo Yang extracted the drought-resistant gene of a desert forage plant and paired it with a small variety of corn. Guo Yang was also very impressed by this small variety, Tangdan No. 5, which has shown immunity to rust in the Huanghuaihai production area in the past two years. The seed store shows that the newly cultivated varieties have extremely excellent drought resistance and disease resistance. The estimated natural energy consumption also reached 51 points. Comparing from the perspective of natural energy alone, this variety is of higher grade than Tianyu No. 1. The Celestial Jade consumed 47 points of natural energy. However, Guo Yang was not very satisfied with its production performance. The average yield per mu was about 1,000 kilograms, which was as ordinary as it could be. Most farmers pay most attention to yield, followed by disease resistance. As for drought resistance, it is basically not within the farmers' consideration. So, Guo Yang tried again. After several rounds of selection, a variety with comprehensive performance and strong resistance to impact appeared in front of him. 【Category】: Corn [Variety]: Unnamed 【Characteristic 1】: Drought-tolerant variety. Moderate drought is beneficial to the increase of -grain weight of corn, but will reduce fresh weight... 【Characteristic 2】: High-quality protein corn, the crude protein content of the whole plant is content is ... 【特性3】：产量在1200～1500 kg/亩，生物学鲜重8000~10000 kg/亩，可粮饲兼用和带棒青贮。 【Characteristic 4】: The variety is early maturing, moderately resistant to large and small leaf spot, stem rot, highly resistant to smut, moderately resistant to corn borer, and highly resistant to rust. 【Feature 5】…… 【Natural Energy】: 267 points. [Success rate]: 76%. A series of characteristics and data made Guo Yang feel his scalp tingling. Generally speaking, when corn is used as feed, some soybean meal needs to be added to increase the protein content in the feed. my country's soybeans are basically dependent on imports. Although the price is cheap at present, we have lost our dominant position. High-quality protein corn, as feed for livestock and poultry, can improve the utilization rate of corn, thereby improving animal production performance, reducing the use of grain and protein feed, and saving costs. In other words, it means using less feed to produce more and better quality pork, beef, milk, eggs and other products. Guo Yang also knows a little about the protein content: and the lysine content: . I can only say that it is very valuable. And it is a whole plant, which means it is also an excellent silage corn variety. Compared with grain corn, the whole corn plant can provide rich sugar, vitamins, etc. as feed, and it can also process the straw at the same time. The output is not low either.
The grain yield is one level lower than Tianyu No. 1, but the yield of silage corn is high. Based on Guo Yang's experience in his previous life, the fresh weight yield of corn silage is only about 4000 to 5000 kg. This directly doubled. The only drawback lies in its drought resistance. It can tolerate drought, but it can only maintain high grain yields. If silage is to have high yields, basic moisture must be guaranteed. But Guo Yang was also satisfied. This success rate is totally worth a try. Click [Cultivate]. I kept my eyes on it, and soon, a familiar green icon appeared in front of me. Guo Yang breathed a sigh of relief. But there are only 138 points of natural energy left. The plan also aims to produce high-yield and high-resistance wheat, sea rice, and vegetables and flowers. After thinking about it, the breeding goal for sea rice and wheat can be blue grade. Soon, two varieties were successfully bred. 【Category】: Wheat [Variety]: Unnamed [Characteristics]: The yield per mu is 700~750kg, high yield and high quality, and all wheat varieties are excellent. 【Region】: Northern winter wheat area [Natural Energy]: 36 points ... 【Category】: Rice [Variety]: Unnamed [Characteristics]: In soil with salt content of , it can produce about 500kg per mu. It needs fresh water irrigation and has a certain soil improvement effect. 【Area】: Soil salt content is less than 1%. [Natural Energy]: 32 points Guo Yang is quite satisfied with both varieties, which are also in urgent need at present. Especially sea rice, its tolerance to salt and alkali is higher than Guo Yang expected. Generally speaking, rice that can grow in soil with a salt content of to and produce more than 300 kg per mu can be considered salt-alkali tolerant rice. Most of my country's later sea rice also meets this standard, and the upper limit of newly cultivated varieties is obviously higher. The only crop that Guo Yang knows of that can grow in soil with a salt content of more than 1% is Alfalfa No. 1. After cultivating the two varieties, there are still 50 points of natural energy left for cultivating vegetable and flower varieties. At present, there are more than 1000 approved vegetable varieties in my country, and even more flowers.
Guo Yang was stunned for a moment, and he really hadn't decided what variety to cultivate. "Never mind, let's cultivate flower varieties first." Flowers are much simpler, the main focus is to produce large quantities and ensure adequate supply. Guo Yang has cultivated more than 20 varieties of flowers in a row. Only then did I stop to think about what vegetables to grow. (End of this chapter)
