Walking into the Color Wheat cultivation Base of Zhongpu Resource Garden

Color wheat seed nursery

Data show that at present, the number of people in the world has exceeded 6.5 billion, and according to relevant experts' estimates, it will reach 9.5 billion in 2050. Due to the process of urbanization and the expansion of modern industry, there will be less and less cultivated land. According to the current wheat grain output, there will be a huge gap. Many countries are making efforts to increase grain production, and the topic of studying high-yield wheat seeds is also in front of the world.

Henan, as a major grain province in China, many experts and scholars are also involved in the research of high-yield wheat. Wheat has reached the harvest season. The wheat seed resource nursery located in the beach area of the Yellow River is planted with white wheat, rye, green wheat, purple wheat and other varieties. Most people can not see any difference, but in the middle of the week, it is the "golden eye", which can be clearly distinguished one by one. He selected fine ears of wheat to mark them for cultivation in the coming year. Zhou said that colored wheat is rich in iron, selenium, zinc, iodine and other trace elements, which is extremely beneficial to human health.

Wheat seed production is a project with a long cycle, large investment, and slow results. In the middle of the week, Pu encountered problems such as funds, which nearly interrupted his painstaking efforts for half his life. when Fan Guofu and Fan Anfu brothers learned of this situation, they put forward funds for joint development. in Fan Anfu's words, these 50 mu wheat resource nurseries are the hope of China's wheat seed industry and should not be allowed to give up halfway.

Zhou Zhongpu, 85, enjoys a special allowance from the State Council, but he has chosen the uninhabited beach of the Yellow River to carry out his road to high wheat production. In his words, he likes farming. At present, there are 16000 wheat breeding resources in the resource garden, which has won the reputation of "magician" in the breeding circle. Not only that, the colored wheat he cultivated has many colors such as black, green, purple, and red, which has caused a sensation at home and abroad, and is known as the "father of colored wheat." some even compare him with Yuan Longping, saying that there is Yuan Longping in the south and Zhouzhongpu in the north.

Zhou Zhongpu believes that the successful cultivation of colored wheat varieties is only a small step. The planting and popularization of color wheat will help farmers to increase their income, and it has a broad market prospect to develop functional food and health food in the right market by making use of the high nutritional quality of color health wheat. And let the color health wheat food into the homes of ordinary people as soon as possible, and then improve the quality of life of the people, this is the real "color wheat dream" in the heart of the week.
