Hybrid rice output sets world mark
Print Edition
Yuan Longping, the 鈥渇ather of hybrid rice,鈥 and his team have set a new world record in super hybrid rice output, the science and technology department of northern Hebei Province said on Monday.
The new world record was set in test fields in the city of Handan, which achieved an average yield of 1,203.36 kilograms of rice per mu (about 0.07 hectares) of farmland. The tested rice variety was Xiangliangyou 900.
Yuan, who developed the world鈥檚 first hybrid rice in 1974, has set multiple world records in hybrid rice yield. In 2017, he achieved a yield of 1,149.02kg of rice per mu with the same variety in the same test fields.
Since the beginning of 2016, Yuan鈥檚 team has managed 42 hybrid rice test fields in 16 provincial regions across China, including Yunnan, Sichuan, Shaanxi, Guangdong and Hunan provinces as well as Chongqing City.
About 65 percent of Chinese depend on rice as a staple food.
