So that farmers can find suitable seeds anywhere.

Recently, during an interview in Wenquan Village, Mashan Town, Xiangdong District, Pingxiang City, Jiangxi Province, the reporter saw that in the endless rice fields, different varieties of early, middle and late rice competed to grow, each with their own characteristics, attracting dealers and big growers who came here to stop one after another. The small wooden plates erected in the rice tell the identity of these rice.

When we take a closer look, it turns out that Jiangxi Tianya seed Industry is holding a new product release meeting of "Yazhan-China", and the protagonist of the meeting is a rice strain called "Yazhan".

It is reported that "Yazhan" is a male parent variety obtained by crossing "Huazhan" and "Zhanhui 15" on the basis of the "Huazhan" variety selected by the Tianya seed industry scientific research team in China. The yield, rice quality and blast resistance of rice are higher than those of Huazhan.

"in fact, we can regard 'Yazhan' as an upgraded and enhanced version of 'Huazhan', and the adaptability of this variety is relatively good. At present, the experimental performance of several kinds of 'Yazhan' is quite good, and it will become one of our main strains in the future." Zhang Shaohu, general manager of Tianya seed industry, introduced to the reporter.

Good varieties are very popular.

"I have 200 mu of land, and this year I have tried to plant 50 mu of 'Nongxiang elegant Zhan'. Judging from the current growth trend, it is obviously better than the varieties in previous years, and a bumper harvest is certain. We will plant all of this variety next year!" Lu Yongguo, a big grower from Xiangjia Village, Hongyan Town, Leping City, Jiangxi Province, said proudly to the reporter.

"not only can the seed setting rate of our variety reach 86.4%, but the rice quality can also meet the national standard of second-class high-quality rice, which is very popular among farmers." Zhang Youhe, general manager of East China Division of Tianya seed Industry, which is responsible for managing "Nongxiang elegant occupation", told reporters.

"in the past, there were relatively few three-line medium rice on the market, but in fact, this kind of high-yield and good resistance could reduce the risk and be easier to control for enterprises. at that time, we cultivated this variety for this purpose. it can also be regarded as filling the gap in the market of three-line medium rice in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River." "Nongxiang elegance occupies" to grow up, Tianya seed breeding expert Tang Xianyan told reporters.

It is understood that Tianya seed industry relies on a strong scientific research team and makes use of the high-quality father of "Yazhan" to successively create ten varieties of Yazhan, such as "elegant agricultural fragrance", "elegant occupation of heaven", "elegant occupation of auspiciousness" and "two elegant occupations of C". The product pattern of "Yazhan" strain has been initially formed, which is well received by growers and dealers. Farmers don't have to worry about their needs

With good varieties, it must also be docked with the needs of farmers. "at present, the information in the seed market is not very symmetrical, often there are good varieties but farmers do not know, and sometimes the needs of farmers can not be really met." Zhang Shaohu told reporters, "because of this, our variety research and development is two-way, not only to promote good varieties to farmers, but also to understand the real needs of farmers, so as to provide a direction for our breeding."

It is reported that Tianya seed Industry, relying on regional departments and subsidiaries, has set up thousands of variety display sites throughout the country, and regularly sent technical personnel to villages to enter households, while publicizing and recommending good varieties and guiding farmers on how to plant scientifically. Also listen to the situation reflected by farmers, and further improve the varieties. "the heat damage caused by high temperature in the south is relatively common this year, and after years of experimental feedback, our varieties have shown relatively good comprehensive resistance, and the common people are very satisfied." Zhang Shaohu said.

In recent years, Tianya seed Industry has introduced new scientific research achievements every year by combining modern breeding methods with market demand analysis, recommending to farmers a large number of high-yield rice varieties with moderate maturity, high quality and multi-resistance and suitable for simplified cultivation, which can better solve the problem of "the last kilometer" of farmers' seed needs.

"it is not difficult to launch good varieties, the key is how to form a series, so that farmers no matter where they can find suitable varieties to grow, is our original intention of variety research and development and promotion." Zhang Shaohu said.

Scientific research talents can be retained.

Perfect product lines should be supported by strong scientific research. "if the seed enterprise is only a single seed production, not only the added value of the product is low, but the risk will also increase, and if you do not master the core technology, there will be no market dominance." Zhang Shaohu said. For this reason, Tianya seed industry has established an innovation-driven development strategy at the early stage of its development, constantly promoting the scale of production, the integration of breeding, breeding and promotion and the modernization of scientific research.

It is reported that Tianya seed Industry has worked closely with scientific research institutions such as the National Hybrid Rice Research Center and Jiangxi Super Rice Research and Development Center, and has introduced many well-known domestic breeders and set up six breeding research groups. In addition, we have cooperated with Yan Longan, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and professor of Jiangxi Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and Zhu Ying, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and professor of Wuhan University, to set up an "academician workstation", and the company's scientific research strength is growing day by day.

"with the support of these experts, not only our scientific research strength has been enhanced, but our vision of breeding has also been expanded, which is also the basis for us to build a large strain." Yu Qiuping, scientific research director of Tianya seed industry, told reporters.

In terms of base construction, Tianya seed industry has received strong support from the government. Not only 100 mu of experimental fields have been built in the company's headquarters, but also through land transfer, a 300 mu scientific research base has been established in Wenquan Village, which has excellent natural conditions. it has successively undertaken important topics such as the national production test in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the preparation test of first-season rice in Jiangxi Province. In addition, the company also inherited the fine tradition of seed production in Pingxiang, and established a 150-mu southern breeding base in Sanya, which provided a guarantee for the research and development and testing of varieties.

"the introduction of talents and investment in scientific research are important, but what is more important is to cultivate our own breeders." Zhang Shaohu said. In recent years, driven by the goal of building a commercial breeding platform, Tianya seed Industry has successively set up two major innovation platforms: Jiangxi Hybrid Rice breeding Technology Innovation team and Jiangxi Huahao Rice Collaborative Innovation Technology Co., Ltd. committed to the simultaneous promotion of talent training and scientific and technological research and development. Among them, Hua Hao Company, which is jointly built with Jiangxi Agricultural University, has become a new technological growth point of Tianya seed industry because of relying on the superior resources of colleges and universities.

"We should not only build a 'big strain' in the product, but also create a 'big Tianya' in the operation." Zhang Shaohu introduced to the reporter, "our various business departments and subsidiaries can make use of these scientific research advantages of Tianya to train their own outstanding talents and jointly contribute to the growth of the company."

"I think Tianya seed Industry attaches great importance to the work and life of researchers, and the company has invested a lot in scientific research, so that we breeders can feel at ease to work here, which is also the foundation for the lasting talent advantage of the enterprise." Tang Xianyan told reporters about his working experience here from the point of view of researchers.
