Experts from Northwest A&F University guide farmers in production.
Yangling was born from farming. As the country's first "national brand" agricultural high-tech zone. At the beginning of its establishment, it was given a "national mission" to explore the development of modern agriculture in arid and semi-arid areas of China.
There is such a set of the latest figures: up to now, the Yangling Demonstration Zone has accumulated 768 new varieties of animals and plants that have passed the examination (recognition); 350 demonstration and promotion bases have been built; the scientific and technological demonstration and promotion area has exceeded 100 million mu, and the cumulative promotion benefits have reached 191 billion yuan; only the new varieties of wheat and corn series in the Huanghuai Wheat Area, the cumulative promotion area has exceeded 800 million mu, the increase in production is 43 billion jin, and the annual seed transaction volume is about 800 million yuan, accounting for 50% of the province's annual trading volume...
Behind the numbers is a pattern, symbol, sound, high quality and efficiency. This new agricultural science city with strong scientific and educational strength and distinctive industrial characteristics has become an agricultural high-tech zone with great influence in the country and the world, and has set a model for modern agriculture.
Demonstration and promotion——
Provide "Yangling Program" for the construction of the national agricultural science and technology service system
In Yangling, innovative temperament and innovative genes are deeply imprinted in every inch of land.
Yangling Demonstration Zone Agricultural Science and Technology Demonstration and Extension Base is a booster that integrates technology research, testing and demonstration, providing consultation for government decision-making, providing services for technology users, and providing technical demonstration for farmers.
Taking the Yangling Demonstration Area Agricultural Science and Technology Demonstration and Extension Base and the Yulin Potato Comprehensive Experimental Station as an example, the station tailors the needs of different enterprises for different varieties and screens new varieties for enterprises. "Since the operation of the base, 20 new potato varieties have been demonstrated and promoted, of which 9 are new varieties or new strains selected and bred by the potato research group of Northwest A&F University, and 4 varieties have been protected by the national variety rights." Zhang Xiaoyan, head of the test station, said.
In addition, the base also focuses on the development needs of the potato industry in Shaanxi, and vigorously carries out work in the experimental demonstration of potato seed selection and breeding, research and demonstration of factory rapid propagation technology of potato detoxified seed potato, and has made a number of breakthroughs.
The promotion base is not a simple scientific research in the laboratory, nor is it a simple grass-roots service, but a combination of the two. In Luochuan County, Shaanxi Province, Wang Xinlin and his Panli Apple Professional Cooperative are the direct beneficiaries of the agricultural science and technology demonstration and promotion base in yangling demonstration area. Through Professor An Guiyang of Northwest A&F University to provide technical guidance to the base fruit farmers, introduce new varieties, etc., and adopt the development model of "base + cooperative + fruit farmer + market", the annual output value of the cooperative is nearly 50 million yuan.
During the interview, the reporter found that the agricultural science and technology demonstration and promotion bases established by Yangling throughout the country have achieved good exemplary demonstration results. Among them, Yangling has carried out training in high-quality and high-yield cultivation technology for crop seed making and facility agriculture in Gansu; training in ecological forestry and efficient animal husbandry and breeding technology in Qinghai; training in high-quality melon and fruit and cotton cultivation and management technology in Xinjiang; technical training in small grains, apricots for kernels, facility vegetables, sheep breeding, and red dates in northern Shaanxi; and economic forest fruits, Chinese medicinal materials, silkworm mulberry, tea, and ternary hybrid pigs in southern Shaanxi, all of which have promoted the rapid development of regional agricultural industries and characteristic industries.
Up to now, Yangling has successively built 350 agricultural science and technology demonstration and promotion bases in 18 provinces (regions) such as Gansu and Ningxia, of which the vast majority of bases are concentrated in contiguous areas with special difficulties in the country, with a scientific and technological demonstration and promotion area of more than 100 million mu, a cumulative promotion benefit of 191 billion yuan, and a beneficiary of more than 90 million people.
In particular, around the needs of agricultural technology in arid areas, a vocational farmer training system has been established, and 500,000 professional farmers and "three rural" cadres have been trained nationwide, of which 16,000 farmers have obtained the certificate of farmer technical titles in Yangling Demonstration Zone.
At present, Yangling Science and Technology has successfully radiated the agricultural field in arid and semi-arid areas of China, and has become a "Yangling model" for the development of modern agriculture in China.

District-school integration——
Contribute to the "Yangling Power" to seize the commanding heights of the world's agricultural science and technology
In recent years, Yangling has focused on agricultural scientific and technological innovation, accelerated the gathering of innovative elements focusing on talents and technologies, deeply implemented the strategy of "integration of districts and schools, integrated development", established a multi-level communication and contact mechanism with Northwest A&F University and Yangling Vocational and Technical College, fully implemented the innovation-driven development strategy, and actively built a collaborative innovation system for agricultural science and technology.
In order to give full play to its own institutional advantages and scientific and educational advantages, we have explored and formed a new mechanism for the development of "combining agricultural science and education and integrating production, education and research", and the ability of regional collaborative innovation has been significantly enhanced. A total of 768 new varieties of crops have been approved, and only the new varieties of wheat and corn series in the Huanghuai wheat area have accumulated more than 800 million mu and increased production by 43 billion jin. In particular, new varieties of apples such as "Ruiyang and Ruixue" are expected to become the main varieties of apples in the main apple-producing areas in the north.
The soil erosion control technology system constructed has overcome the world problem of ecological environment construction on the Loess Plateau, boosted the green map of Shaanxi to move 400 kilometers to the north, and played an important role in the implementation of the national project of returning farmland to forest (grassland).
As a national strategic and basic core industry, the seed industry is related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and is the "chip" of the entire agricultural industry. At the beginning of 2021, the Yangling Seed Industry Innovation Center was officially inaugurated, and a seed industrial park was established with an investment of 2 billion yuan. Relying on this platform, Yangling will further integrate the scientific and technological strength of enterprises, universities and governments, innovate institutional mechanisms, and create a big brand in the seed industry while promoting high quality and high yield of grain.
From the development path of this group of agricultural science and technology enterprises in Yangling Seed Industry Innovation Center, we can glimpse the vivid practice of this national agricultural innovation demonstration park driven and supported by science and technology and talents, and deeply carry out comprehensive agricultural innovation.
At present, the laboratory of the center's Syngenta breeding technology has been put into use, the main body of the planting area has been completed, and the relevant supporting facilities are being intensively constructed. "After the completion of the project, it is expected that the genotype identification laboratory will identify more than 30,000 maize germplasm materials and establish corresponding molecular fingerprints." Introduction of the project leader.
The pace does not stop, only because the mission is on the shoulders. Global innovation resources are constantly gathering to the Yangling Seed Industry Innovation Center. With the well-known seed industry enterprises Xianzhengda, Kedihua and Shaanxi Hybrid Rapeseed Center, Jintang Seed Industry and other seed industry research institutes and enterprises have landed, Yangling has gradually formed a complete industrial chain in the "chip" of germplasm, and many enterprises have gradually formed a complete industrial chain in terms of basic research on biological breeding, technology application research and industrial demonstration and promotion.
Nowadays, leading the high-quality development of the industry with technological innovation, a number of high-tech agricultural enterprises are continuing to exert efforts in the center. It has introduced 87 seed enterprises, including 14 provincial-level "breeding and breeding integration" enterprises, with an annual seed transaction volume of about 800 million yuan, accounting for 50% of the annual transaction volume in Shaanxi Province.
Since the beginning of this year, Yangling Demonstration Zone has successively established four agricultural industry innovation centers, including seed industry, fruit industry, agricultural intelligent equipment, farmland protection and quality improvement.
In particular, entering the "14th Five-Year Plan", Yangling will build more than 10 state-level industrial technology innovation centers around the fields of modern seed industry, farmland protection and quality improvement, intelligent agricultural machinery and equipment, deep processing of agricultural products, fruit industry, animal husbandry, water-saving engineering, green prevention and control of pests and diseases, etc., launch a number of new technologies, new products, new industries, and new formats, and form an achievement transformation chain of "original innovation - achievement pilot - enterprise incubation - industrial growth".
