What is super hybrid rice?

Super hybrid rice is the result of the super hybrid rice cultivation program of the Ministry of Agriculture, which was proposed in 1996, and Yuan Longping, the "father of hybrid rice", presided over the cultivation program. In 2000, the super hybrid rice varieties reached the first stage single rice yield standard, that is, the yield per hectare exceeded 10.5 tons; in 2004, the super hybrid rice reached the second stage yield target; on September 24, 2012, the expert acceptance team organized by the Hunan Provincial Department of Agriculture announced the successful realization of the third stage of super hybrid rice with a large area yield of 900 kg per mu.

Third, is super hybrid rice delicious?

For this kind of variety with high yield as the main goal, don't expect it to be delicious. Fortunately, after decades of efforts, the rice quality has been raised to a higher level, and the "untasty" materials have been basically eliminated, so the current high-yield rice, even if it is not delicious, is not much different. If an ordinary citizen is allowed to "eat blindly" (no labeling, two bowls of rice, so that you can tell which is delicious), it is generally very difficult to tell, so there is no need to worry too much about it.

All right, that's all for today. Super hybrid rice is the result of the Ministry of Agriculture's super hybrid rice cultivation program. Over the past few years, its yield per mu has gradually increased, and there are some different varieties distributed in each region. The taste of this kind of rice is not very delicious, but it is not delicious either.
