Qilu Network Lightning News, February 15, he immersed himself in the study of potato breeding for twenty years, in the saline and alkali land planing out of the golden lump; he, with scientific and technological support to promote the integration and development of the industry, twenty years of continuous attack, let the "potato" light ignite new hope. He is Hu Bogeng, a provincial-level industrial leader in Shandong Province and the general manager of Leling Heessen Potato Industry Group Co., Ltd.
In the studio, guest guest Hu Bogeng introduced the potato varieties of different colors to the host. Among them, there are those whose yields have exceeded the world record, and there are also special varieties that replace imported processed potato chips. There are also colored potatoes, which are rich in anthocyanins and polyphenols, and are functional and nutritious potatoes.
Hu Bogeng said that seeds are the "chip" of agriculture, and seed resources are the source of breeding and material security, so potato selection and breeding is a very difficult process. Generally, it takes more than 8 years or even longer to breed a new variety.
In the potato tissue culture workshop, Hu Bogeng said that there are many bottle seedlings, which are used to produce miniature potatoes for potatoes. The tissue culture workshop has an annual production capacity of 250 million grains, which is the largest potato tissue culture workshop in Shandong Province, and the company is also the first seed industry enterprise integrating breeding, breeding and pushing in China. Through the construction of the potato breeding system, the first three-level breeding system was established in the country, and finally the seed potato for the use of the people was produced.
At present, the varieties of Heathan Potato Industry Group have been promoted by a total of 31.5 million mu, creating 19.02 billion economic benefits in the country. In the market, including sales, taste, nutritional ingredients are very popular. The tissue training workshop is for the entire production process.
Breeding is not only complicated but also very difficult. Hu Bogeng has been dealing with the "golden lump" of potatoes for nearly 20 years.
"Because the potato is the fourth largest staple food crop, in many provinces in the western part of our country, the potato is the main cash crop of the local people. Like Tengzhou in Shandong, the income of local potato farmers can exceed 10,000 per mu of land, and the net income can reach 60,000 or 7,000. So it's a 'golden lump'. Hu Baigeng said.
Potatoes like acid and anorexia. However, there are nearly 1.5 billion mu of saline-alkali land in the country, and there are 30 million mu in the Bohai Rim region of Shandong alone. In 2017, Heathan Group undertook the Shandong Provincial Fine Seed Project - Potato Salinity Tolerance Breeding Project. A research base was set up in the Yellow Triangle of Dongying to carry out research on the breeding of salinity-tolerant potato varieties and supporting cultivation techniques.
Hu Bogeng introduced: "One of the most important problems in the breeding of new varieties of saline-tolerant potatoes is the lack of seed resources for saline-tolerant potatoes. So we undertook this project, united 18 scientific research institutions across the country, and collected more than 6,000 different seed resources. Then, salt tolerance screening is performed. After so many years, we have finally screened out resources that are more tolerant to moderate salinity. ”
"In the process of potato breeding, the biggest difficulty encountered is to first have good and high-quality seed resources. Because they all use traditional hybrid breeding, they must have good seed resources to breed good hybrid offspring. Of course, there is also a very important point here, that is, to persist. Hu Baigeng said.
Hu Bogeng said that recently, Xisen Group undertook major key innovation projects in Shandong Province and built a seed resource bank. "We now have an innovation laboratory for the key utilization of seed resources in Shandong Province, and the next step is to strive to create a national-level, then open, joint-use laboratory."
In addition, Hu Bogeng said that in the future, enterprises will also select and breed new varieties for different purposes that are suitable for different regions, especially to promote their application to countries along the "Belt and Road".
Award speech: A piece of obsessive sprinkling the field can breed good seeds. Breeding is a long-term work, a process of continuous accumulation, which not only tests eyesight and intelligence, but also tests heart and perseverance. The key word given to Hu Bogeng is to tackle tough problems. From hybrid breeding of new varieties to micro-potato breeding, and then to the production of seed potatoes in the field, it is inseparable from the scientific and technological breakthroughs in the seed industry in the past 20 years. Small potatoes and large industries, a land condition for agriculture to plug the wings of science and technology; a breeding dream, so that potatoes become the western part of the mainland poverty alleviation and rural revitalization of the industrial support.
