Rice bacterial blight: successful control of rice bacterial blight, Xingdapu two kinds of disease-resistant rice

The bacterial blight of rice has retreated! Xingda pushes two kinds of disease-resistant rice. Do you know which two kinds of rice they are? Let's take a look.

In the process of rice planting, farmers are most worried about bacterial blight, rice fever and sheath blight. The emergence of the disease means that the yield will be reduced and the quality of rice will be affected. Take bacterial blight as an example, the disease invades plants through rice wounds, and the yield will be reduced by 30% after being infected with bacterial blight, and there will be cross-infection, the most serious of which will affect the entire rice field.

Wang Qiangsheng, a professor in the department of agronomy of National Chung Hsing University, announced on the 14th that two new rice varieties "Xingda 9" and "Xingda 11", which are resistant to bacterial blight, were improved by Tainan 11, which has the largest cultivated area in Taiwan, and Taijing 9, which is the most popular in the domestic market. in addition to maintaining the characteristics of good rice quality and easy farming, it is more resistant to bacterial blight, which is common in rice. After more than 3 years of regional trials, excellent performance, in the past, diseased rice need to use three times, planting disease-resistant rice only need to use once, effectively reduce the cost of pesticides.

Wang Qiangsheng said: in addition to the rice resistant to bacterial blight published this time, rice resistant to rice fever and sheath blight will also be launched after this.At present, rice resistant to double diseases is also being actively studied, with the ultimate goal of breeding rice resistant to the three diseases. so that rice can be protected from bacterial blight, rice fever and sheath blight, consumers can enjoy safe rice, and it will also be the first choice for organic and friendly planting.
