Let me tell you the good news. According to the results of the machine-checked production today, the average yield of late rice is 936.10 kg per mu. In addition, the yield of early rice is 667.8 kg per mu. The total yield of the two seasons is 1603.9 kg per mu. We extend our warm congratulations.
[Explanation] On October 17, the Hunan Agricultural Society organized experts to test and accept the third-generation late hybrid rice combination "Sanyou No. 1" planted in the third-generation hybrid rice experimental demonstration base in Hengnan County.
Xie Huaan, leader of the expert group and academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, announced the above results on the spot.
In December 2020, Yuan Longping, the "father of hybrid rice", made arrangements for super-high-yield research in 2021 during the propagation of southern Hainan, and proposed to implement double-cropping in Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Hunan and other double-cropping rice regions. The research and demonstration of rice yield of 1500 kg per mu, Hengnan County Demonstration Base is one of the research points of 1500 kg per mu of double-cropping rice in Hunan.
Gan Zongheng, a senior agronomist from the Hengnan County Agriculture and Rural Bureau, who participated in the growth and management of the third generation of hybrid rice from soaking and raising seedlings to transplanting seedlings, to fertilization and irrigation, and pest control, told reporters that Hengnan County belongs to a subtropical monsoon humid climate zone. Conducive to the growth of crops, it is one of the "Top 100 Counties in National Grain Production".
In 2020, the third-generation hybrid rice experimental demonstration base in Hengnan County has achieved a major breakthrough of "1500 kg per mu in double cropping".

The difference between this year’s (2021) late rice test field and last year’s (2020) late rice test field is that the early part of this year has always been hot and dry, and every day is 378 (Celsius). The temperature did not drop until a few days ago. This year's temperature and light resources are better than last year, and our seed setting rate is higher than last year.
[Explanation] Gan Zongheng said that according to the experimental and demonstration technical plan formulated by the Hunan Hybrid Rice Research Center, the early rice variety at the base of Hengnan County is hybrid rice Liangyou 168, with a yield of 667.8 kg per mu.
In order to ensure the smooth progress of the late rice research, Hengnan County has organized a dedicated work class with a strong sense of responsibility and exquisite business, through timely sowing, careful seedling cultivation, appropriate age transplanting, reasonable dense planting, reasonable fertilization, ensuring soil fertility, green prevention and control, Eco-environmental protection and other measures, in the late rice production test and acceptance, the final yield per mu reached 936.1 kg.

Realizing high-yield and super-high-yield rice has always been a dream pursued by Teacher Yuan (Longping). Last year, he held a meeting in Hainan on December 20, called the Rice Super-High Yield Cultivation Conference, a national conference. I attended that conference. .
Teacher Yuan said that the goal of super high-yield must be pushed forward with great effort, so we just want to use the good seeds that he has researched, and we must use good cultivation methods to tap the high-yield potential of it.
