Whether a variety is good or not, the market has the most say, and farmers have the most say.
Today the rice yield per mu here reaches 1,200 kilograms, and tomorrow it may exceed 1,300 kilograms there. High-yield data are being chased after each other, and various "records" are constantly being refreshed. "Half Moon Talk" questioned this: Agricultural experiments are a rigorous scientific research method. Where did the strange phenomenon of "breaking records in one test" appear?
Agricultural experiments "break records as soon as they are tested", violate scientific laws and are full of all kinds of fraud. They can be called a new "Great Leap Forward". Just like the "launch of high-yield satellites" back then, today's "record breaking at the first test" is also a blatant data falsification. For example, it is reported that there are various cheating methods for illegal yield testing. Some deliberately leave the distance between rice plants wide during the sowing process, and then secretly transplant the same varieties sown elsewhere into the experimental fields a few days before harvest; Hide the prepared rice and sneak it into the rice yield test during harvesting. A more covert cheating method occurs in the planting process: it is said to be "seawater rice", but in fact it is the unrestrained use of fresh water for irrigation; in order to pursue good-looking data, a large amount of chemical fertilizers and yield-increasing agents are invested in the experimental fields, and many professional and technical personnel are arranged to manage it. …
An acre of experimental field earns two to three thousand, but the experimental cost is five to six thousand. What is the significance of the super high yield obtained in this way? Some local departments and relevant associations direct and perform themselves, serving as both referees and athletes, with some experts who have received "consulting fees" to cooperate with the performance. It seems that the production test itself has become an "industry". The yield test results are ridiculously good, the articles are beautifully written, there are a lot of reports, officials’ achievements are pretentious, and agricultural enterprises use gimmicks to sell seeds, but in essence they are shameless cheating and boring word games.
The report also mentioned that the constantly refreshing "records" have put many scientific researchers, especially young scholars, under heavier pressures such as ratings and promotions. Under the guidance of "get the article out first and then talk about it", some researchers who should have been Rigorous and standardized agricultural scientific research has changed. This is anything but normal.
Whether a variety is good or not, the market has the most say, and farmers have the most say. No matter how beautiful the data of "breaking records in one test" is, if it is not recognized in the market and farmers are unwilling to grow it, such a variety will not be much better anyway. In fact, only varieties recognized by the market and grown by farmers are truly good varieties. For this reason, the crackdown on production testing should be tightened, and the strange phenomenon of "breaking records in one test" should be resolutely curbed. Otherwise, bad money will drive out good money in the agricultural experimental fields, leaving no place for those who are willing to engage in scientific research, while liars who practice fraud will thrive. If things go on like this, the market will have less and less trust in yield measurement data, and it will be difficult to promote truly good varieties.
There are manipulations in the experimental fields, fresh water is added to the "sea rice", and agricultural experiments "break records in just one test"... In the final analysis, behind all kinds of strange phenomena is the adulteration of scientific research data, scientific research to help political achievements, and scientific research to benefit. kidnapping. We must be wary of high-yield fraud under the packaging of scientific research, and we must also be wary of exaggeration in the seed industry due to the trend of yield testing. You should ask more farmers whether the varieties are good or not and how their yields are, instead of just looking at the measured yield data. "Placing high-yield satellites" in agricultural experimental fields should never be allowed. In this regard, those who commit fraud should be held accountable for academic misconduct. If the relevant varieties involve false propaganda to farmers, they should also be held accountable for illegal possession, using fabricated facts or concealing the truth to defraud public and private property. responsibility.
