Yuan Longping's first greenhouse raising of giant rice in Tianjin

On April 17, the new high-stem and high-yield rice variety "Giant Rice" cultivated by Professor Xia Xinjie of Yuan Longping's team started to raise seedlings in greenhouses at Luluo Family Farm in Ninghe District, Tianjin

At the seedling raising site, with the roar of the machine, grains of rice seeds were sown into the cultivation soil, neatly stacked in the greenhouse, waiting to take root and sprout

It is understood that the seed cost of giant rice is low and the cost of planting is lower.

"The core advantage of giant rice is that it is tall enough to achieve 'co-culture with rice and fish'

Tian Junquan, head of Luluo Family Farm in Ninghe District, said that under normal circumstances, rice seeds can emerge in 7-10 days, and the seedling-raising cycle is about 30-40 days

Li Xueyan, deputy director of the Ninghe District Agricultural and Rural Committee, said that in 2021, the rice planting area in Ninghe District will reach 375,000 mu, and the sea rice planted in cooperation with Yuan Longping's team has also achieved a bumper harvest
