Storm test
On May 15, thunderstorms and strong winds and heavy rainfall raided Xinyang, Nanyang, Zhoukou and other places in our province, after the wind and rain, the wheat being filled in the Zhoukou area appeared to varying degrees of lodging, and the video of wheat lodging shared in Douyin made people feel heart-wrenching.
However, on May 20, when reporters and delegates stood at the Zhengmai 1860 wheat breeding base in the Zhoukou National Agricultural Science and Technology Park, what they saw was a completely different scene: the wheat here stood neatly and orderly like a sentry, not only without any lodging, but also growing vigorously, the stalks were strong, and a gust of wind blew through, and the wheat was crowded. Delegates pinched an ear of wheat and rubbed out the grain, showing that the grain was well filled.

On the same day, the high-yield, high-quality, high-quality green and efficient national trial Zhengmai 1860 on-site observation meeting was held in Dada Village, Huji Township, Yancheng County, Zhoukou City. Li Liuxin, secretary of the party committee of the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Qin Shengjun, vice mayor of Zhoukou City, Xu Weigang, a zhongyuan scholar and chief scientist of the wheat molecular breeding team of the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Li Jinhui, director of the Rural Division of the Provincial Science and Technology Department, and Tian Yunfeng, director of the Scientific Research Department of the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences, attended the observation meeting, and Li Quanlin, governor of Yancheng County, presided over the observation meeting.
Qin Shengjun, vice mayor of Zhoukou City, introduced in his speech at the scene that the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences and Yancheng County cooperated in the park to demonstrate the new variety of high-quality and efficient green wheat zhengmai 1860, with the purpose of increasing the breeding, demonstration and promotion of wheat varieties, and intensive processing, and promoting the high-quality development of the whole industrial chain of wheat in the province and even in the Huanghuai Plain.
Researcher Xu Weigang first introduced the characteristics of Zhengmai 1860 "one prominence and three high efficiency", of which "one prominence" refers to the prominence of high yield, and "three high efficiency" refers to high quality and high efficiency, production efficiency and processing efficiency. Then he focused on the lodging resistance of Zhengmai 1860, and in the 3 years of participating in the Huanghuai South Area Test and Production Test, there was not a single point lodging. Since the large-scale promotion began in 2019 through the approval, there has been no phenomenon of yield reduction caused by lodging in the province and the Huanghuai wheat area.
Zhang Dongchen, a seed agent in Zhoukou City, told reporters that the planting area of Zhengmai 1860 in Yancheng County reached 150,000 mu, of which 60,000 mu were good seeds in the base, and the overall performance was good, and Zhengmai 1860 did not appear lodging, withstanding the test of storms.
Three special assistance
In the process of order promotion in recent years, Zhengmai 1860 not only showed strong resistance to falling, but also withstood the test of spring cold and a variety of diseases for many times, won the love of the majority of growers, and was also valued by relevant departments, and has been financially supported as a major scientific research project.
The reporter learned at the observation site that the breeding of Zhengmai 1860 was supported by the national key research and development plan project Huanghuai south wheat area high-yield high-quality water-saving wheat new varieties of breeding, and its demonstration and promotion is also one of the key technologies for the selection and demonstration of new varieties of high-quality wheat resistant to gibberellosis in Henan Province, and was listed as a major special project by the Ministry of Science and Technology. With the support of three major special projects, Zhengmai 1860 pins its trust in the party and the government's emphasis on the "three rural areas", the importance of food security, and the dream of the integration of three industries and the homogeneity of the three chains in the wheat industry.
According to Shi Dongfeng, director of the Zhoukou Seed Station, Zhengmai 1860 authorized Dishen Seed Industry, Dinis Seed Industry, Guannan Seed Industry this year order promotion of more than 600,000 mu, has been recognized by Wutory, Snow Key, Huaxing, Miss and other large-scale processing enterprises, promotion and application prospects are broad.
Xiangcheng city seed agent Bai inspired last year's wheat sowing for the first time to promote Zhengmai 1860, in the county 15 townships promoted nearly 6000 acres, after the wind and rain on May 15, some local varieties of lodging is obvious, Zhengmai 1860 anti-lodging ability is strong, does not affect the grouting, the current growth is gratifying.
Li Jinhui, director of the Rural Division of the Provincial Science and Technology Department, said in a subsequent speech that the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences has bred a number of breakthrough wheat varieties such as Zhengmai 9023, Zhengmai 366, Zhengmai 7698, and Zhengmai 1860, which has provided technical support for promoting the development of the province's high-quality wheat industry.
Large planters punch in
The excellent performance of Zhengmai 1860 in Zhoukou has convinced the majority of growers.
Shenqiu County agent Daniel Zhang has been promoting Zhengmai 1860 for two consecutive years, last year's mu yield was about 75 kg higher than the general variety, and this year the county's 21 townships planted a total of 60,000 or 70,000 mu. Gao Xiuli, a large planter in Shenqiu County, planted nearly 600 mu last year, with an average yield of 700 kg per mu, and this year's growth is better, and the yield is expected to reach a new high.
From trial planting to promotion, Wang Jingjing, an agent in Huaiyang District of Zhoukou City, has been dealing with ZhengMai in 1860 for 4 years. Zhengmai 1860 anti-freeze, disease resistance, lodging resistance is strong, stable yield, high yield, good management, planting safety, deeply loved by large planters, planting area has increased steadily, last year wheat sowing promoted 100,000 acres. According to Zhang Zhenfeng, a large planter in Lizhuang Village, Anling Town, Huaiyang District, due to the high volume and weight of Zhengmai 1860 and the good quality of commercial grain, it has signed a purchase order with the distillery, which is 0.2 yuan higher than the market price per kilogram.
In recent days, not only Zhoukou, but also the Zhengmai 1860 order planting base in Luohe, Yongcheng, Minquan, Huaxian and other cities and counties has become the focus of the surrounding planters' punch card inspection.
Li Jianxin, secretary of the party committee of the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences, pointed out in his concluding speech that as a comprehensive agricultural scientific research unit in the province, the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences undertakes the three major functions and tasks of scientific and technological innovation, achievement transformation, scientific and technological services and training. The Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences will take this as an opportunity to innovate ways to serve the industry, further concentrate its superior scientific research forces, increase the research and development and breeding of new varieties, accelerate the technical research of seed source card neck, crack the key core technology of grain production, and promote the substantive transformation of Henan from "national granary" to "national kitchen" to "world table".
