What is the reason for the heavy loss of 1400 jin per mu of wheat?

Jiang Rongnian planted 11 mu of "Xinmai 26" wheat in 2014, with a yield of more than 1200 jin per mu. A year later, Jiang Rongnian, who planted "Xinmai 26" again, was in trouble during the wheat harvest-the yield per mu dropped to more than 400 jin. There are nearly 300 farmers in a similar situation, and they do not understand the heavy losses: what went wrong? A deputy director of the Agricultural Bureau of Xiping County, surnamed Zhao, said that the yields of the two adjacent plots of land may be different for many reasons, including seeds, and may also be related to plots, weather and diseases. Moreover, scab is indeed more serious this year than in previous years.

In 2014, he planted 11 mu of "Xinmai 26" wheat with a yield of more than 1200 jin per mu. For publicity, a pesticide factory asked him to stand in the field holding a pesticide poster and took a picture on the poster.

A year later, Jiang Rongnian, who planted "Xinmai 26" again, was in trouble during the wheat harvest-the yield per mu dropped to more than 400 jin. There are nearly 300 farmers in a similar situation, and they do not understand the heavy losses: what went wrong?

The yield per mu changed from more than 1400 jin to more than 400 jin.

The "high quality" wheat seed has shrunk seriously.

Tian Guoyin, 66, of Dongkeng Village, Yangzhuang Township, Xiping County, spoke of this year's wheat harvest with tears in his eyes. As his voice trembled and lowered his head, tears fell down the corners of his eyes.

Tian Guoyin is a member of Huitong Cooperative. In 2015, the cooperative promoted the cultivation of strong gluten wheat variety "Xinmai 26" and provided it to members free of charge. Because of the bumper harvest of planting the wheat the year before, he planted "Xinmai 26" on his 13 mu of land this time. However, the blessings are not yet here.

"after the Winter Solstice, all the fresh wheat seedlings froze to death." Tian Guoyin said that later, people from the county agricultural bureau provided him with 600 jin of other wheat seeds free of charge. after replanting in winter, when the wheat was harvested, the average yield per mu was more than 400 jin. "Last year, the yield per mu was more than 1400 jin, sold more than 20,000 yuan, and there were still more than 1000 jin left as rations. But this year, even if it is all sold out, it will not be able to get back to the cost. "

Song Jingchun, a villager of Zhaogao Village in Township, encountered a similar situation. He planted 16 mu and the yield per mu was only 400 jin. "in the 30 years of growing wheat, there has never been such a low yield." According to the directors of Huitong Cooperative, nearly 300 members have received "Xinmai 26" from them for planting this year, with a planting area of about 3000 mu, with an average yield of more than 400 jin per mu.

[question]

The "Xinmai 26" planted this time

Is there a problem?

The cooperative provided its members with high-quality seeds, originally to lead farmers to get rich together, but this time Huitong Cooperative got into trouble because of "Xinmai 26." in the words of Yang Jincheng, chairman of the cooperative, "good intentions did not succeed."

Yang Jincheng said: in fact, some members have been planting "Xinmai 26" for three years. In the previous two years, the wheat seeds were purchased by cooperatives after an inspection in Xinxiang, where they originated. The output was high and the quality was good. Before the wheat was harvested, some flour mills came to buy.

This year's "Xinmai 26" was tendered by the government and provided free of charge to Huitong Cooperative. The winning bidder was Henan Dunyuan seed Industry Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "tonnage Source") in Zhumadian, and the wheat seed was also provided directly by the company.

"this batch of original seeds not only has a low bud rate, but also freezes to death in a large area, and there are many miscellaneous wheats. we suspect that there is something wrong with this seed, or that it is not 'Xinmai 26' at all." He said.

[survey]

The wheat seeds were sent for testing twice.

The two results were different.

At the time of this year's wheat harvest, the Huitong cooperative fulfilled its promise to buy the wheat produced by its members planting "Xinmai 26", but the previous contract with the flour mill was annulled because of its poor quality. At present, more than 1.4 million jin of wheat is still in the warehouse.

Zhu Mingzheng, director of Huitong Cooperative, said that in April, the cooperative reflected the problem of "Xinmai 26" to "ton source", but the two sides could not reach an agreement on the issue of compensation to growers.

At the end of April, the Agricultural Bureau of Xiping County invited agricultural technicians to the field to investigate and identify "Xinmai 26". In May, the Agriculture Bureau, the cooperative, and the "tonnage source" sampled the unopened original species of "Xinmai 26" in the cooperative and sent it twice to a testing company in Zhengzhou for testing, but once it was "unqualified" and the other was "qualified."

Zhu Mingzheng said that in the case of inconsistency between the two test results, on August 15, they received a conclusion report from the county agricultural bureau that there was no problem with the per-ton source of "Xinmai 26" wheat.

Henan Business Daily reporter saw that the report has no unit registration, no official seal, no date, only in the fifth "mediation situation" appeared "through the comprehensive law enforcement brigade of the Agricultural Bureau of Xiping County."... " Words.

A captain of the law enforcement brigade of the county agricultural bureau, surnamed Wang, told Henan Business Daily that the conclusion of the investigation without official seal and date was agreed by the unit leader, and it was not stamped because there was no provision requiring it to be stamped.

[results]

The county agricultural bureau determined that the seeds were qualified.

Farmers question "non-compliance with re-inspection"

According to the above investigation report, the field yield measurement identified that the wheat ear withering and death of "Xinmai 26" planted by some farmers was caused by the recurrence of wheat scab. The purity of the initial test (the sample submitted for inspection in May) is not up to the standard, and the retest (the sample submitted in July) is up to the standard. According to Article 36 of the measures for the Administration of Product quality Supervision and spot Inspection, the wheat seed does not meet the inferior conditions, and the "ton source" recognizes the results of the second retest and will not mediate.

For this survey conclusion, a number of damaged farmers and Huitong cooperative directors said that the official conclusion is too hasty, there are many unreasonable.

Zhu Mingzheng said that the reinspection should be submitted within 15 days of receiving the report, while the reexamination mentioned in the conclusion was two months away from the first test. "this does not meet the reinspection criteria, but the conclusion is based on the results of the reexamination as the final conclusion."

On August 19, a reporter from Henan Commercial Daily found the above testing institution in Zhengzhou. The auditor surnamed Wang on the test result list said that due to the long interval between the two tests and the fact that they did not test the same package of samples, they did not meet the criteria for re-inspection and belonged to two separate tests.

In addition, with regard to the wheat ear withering and death caused by the recurrence of wheat scab mentioned in the conclusion, Dong Guoyan, a damaged farmer, questioned that Dongguo, a villager close to his wheat field, had also planted more than 3 mu of "Xinmai 26", but the Dongguo had purchased seeds from the county seat with a yield of more than 1170 jin per mu, while his own yield was only 420jin per mu. "they are all 'Xinmai 26'. Why do they get sick here, but not there?"

Progress

Officials say they will report the situation.

A final conclusion will be made after the study.

On the afternoon of August 18, a deputy director of the Agricultural Bureau of Xiping County, surnamed Zhao, said that the two adjacent plots had different yields, which could be due to many reasons, such as seeds, land plots, weather and diseases. Moreover, scab is indeed more serious this year than in previous years.

As for growers' doubts about "non-compliance in re-inspection", he said that the report had been reported to the law enforcement team of the Zhumadian Agricultural Bureau, and they had also consulted experts and lawyers to agree with the investigation report. After the masses raised questions, the personnel of the law enforcement team reported the situation to the city and waited for the study before making a conclusion.

Is there anything wrong with this batch of "Xinmai 26" seeds? What will be the progress of the official investigation? Henan Business Daily reporter will continue to pay attention.
