Chapter 287 Farming is a Science

The veteran said: "Different varieties vary, the maximum weight is 2000 kilograms."

Although Bai Xi didn't have a deep understanding of the concept of this number, he knew it must be very strong, so he praised it sincerely: "It's amazing."

The elder shook his head, pointed to the "winter rice" on the field, and said: "For example, if we set up an experimental field like this, the yield per mu is 2000 kilograms, but when it is given to ordinary farmers, the yield will be reduced by %. If the soil is poor Some have to be folded in half.”

Bai Xi asked curiously, "Why is there such a big difference?"

"The bottom line is that there are problems with management. The same seeds, the same fertilizers, and the same climate are used by ordinary farmers, but the yields just cannot be achieved, fertilizers are spread unevenly, and pest and disease control is not in place. There are many problems. Planting crops is a matter of technology. To live, it doesn’t mean just scattering seeds casually.”

"Whether it's fruit, grain, or vegetables, the Academy of Agricultural Sciences has been teaching us all the time, but when it comes to actually working, every farmer is different. Some are diligent, some are lazy, some are smart, some are stupid..."

"Your 'Gou Mang', improving efficiency is one thing, but standardizing operations is crucial. Only with standardization can we promote it. Otherwise, even if my experimental fields can produce 3000 or 5000 kilograms per mu, it's meaningless if only scientists can grow it!"

Bai Xi nodded, indeed...

This is a point that was overlooked before.

Farming is a science, and a modern science at that. It needs development, summarization, and education and guidance...

The best farmers are definitely not the farmers themselves, but the agronomists...

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the elder walking, and suddenly his eyes lit up and he jumped into the field. Bai Xi hurriedly followed.

The old man picked up one of the countless plants and looked at it for a long time, and finally said to the people behind him: "Mark this, this is a male-sterile plant. Send it back to keep a sample."

Bai Xi was greatly shocked. In her eyes, all the plants on this ground looked completely the same...

Not to mention that the other party is over 80 years old.

Someone came to mark him from behind, and the elder continued walking and said:

"Hybrid rice is also being developed in the United States. Their experimental fields have a yield of 1200 kilograms, and when they hand it over to farmers, they can get 1000 kilograms. Our experimental fields have a yield of 2000 kilograms, but many farmers only get 800 kilograms. Many people say that Xiaguo's hybrid rice technology is not good and is a scam. Some people even say that Xiaguo people are not good. It makes me angry."

The elder's expression is quite vivid and he is an interesting old man.

"They're all big grain traders, and they're growing grain through corporations. We're all farmers, and the management level is so different. If we all adopt corporate farming, the livelihoods of small farmers will be affected, and it will be very difficult..."

"If you could standardize some of the intermediate links, it would be great."

For example, today's "new farmers" generally don't worry about "farming and harvesting" because these things are highly mechanized.

If you have a small scale, you need machinery, and the seeds are all high-yielding crops developed by the agricultural science department, and they are all standardized operations.

What really leads to the gap in yield and quality is precisely the fields of "drugs, fertilizers, and insects" that cannot yet be mechanized on a large scale.

And this realm is Gou Mang’s realm.

......

After walking around for a while, they found a restaurant and started eating.

As soon as he sat down, the elder asked, "Is this thing common in the market?"

Bai Xi said honestly, "We only launched it last year. We just solved the production problem this year and are promoting it. We have dozens of them in East China, and our goal is to put 200 into use during the spring plowing season."

The elder glanced at Bai Xi and suddenly asked, "If our institute buys two, how much is one? Can we get a discount?"

Bai Xi also smiled and said, "No fight."

Elder: ...

This kid's words are really annoying...

"I'll give you two. Is that enough?"

The elder smiled again. This child looked so good!

But he still said: "There is no need to give it away, just give it a discount."

Bai Xi imitated the elder's accent and said, "It's okay. I have money. It belongs to my big boss!"

The old man and the young man laughed, and the hearty laughter resounded in the fields, frightening away a few foraging birds.

In fact, no matter from which angle you look at it, the use of "Gou Mang" by the "Hybrid Rice Research Center" under the elders is more beneficial to Bai Xi, even if it is a gift...

Even if this is not a golden brand, it can be driven to various experimental fields by teams led by veterans, and the advertising effect is very strong, and it can attract more attention from above.

At this time, Director Li behind him said: "Senior, it's almost time to go to dinner."

The elder patted Bai Xi on the shoulder and said, "Boss! Do you want to have dinner together?"

Of course Bai Xi would not refuse.

The group of people walked out again, including Xiang Qingliang, who all joined in the fun. They didn't go too far, but found a restaurant with farm food nearby. It was obviously not the first time for people from the institute to come.

During the meal, Bai Xi and Director Li discussed the matter of sending "Gou Mang". Although as a national research center, they are not short of this amount of funds.

But the gift is always good!

At the same time, Baixi also hopes to carry out some in-depth cooperation with the "Hybrid Rice Research Center" to jointly assist in the standardization of high-yield grain fields.

This conversation with the elder also made Bai Xi realize that Gou Mang still has a lot of room for improvement.

That is standardization, more detailed and more practical standardization.

In the past, Gou Mang’s standardization was: you say how much to sprinkle, and you say what to sprinkle.

The future standardization of Goumang: You just tell us what you want to plant, and then the system will tell you what to sow, when to sow, and how much to sow based on the region, climate, water and soil, and agricultural knowledge.

Even through Goumang's data records, remote reminders can be given to determine which crops need additional fertilizer, which crops need pesticides, and which crops have unsatisfactory growth and need topdressing.

Connected to the weather forecast system, it can even guide operations in advance.

In this way, Goumang was introduced later, that is, scientific planting was introduced, combined with the "plowing, planting and harvesting" of traditional agricultural machinery, it may be possible to realize "fool-proof agriculture" in the future.

You don't know anything, just prepare the "land".

Bai Xi shared this idea with the elders and received their strong affirmation.

"That would be great! Everyone is an agriculturist!"

Then he asked again: "But it's very difficult, isn't it?"

Bai Xi thought for a moment and said, "One is that it requires a lot of agricultural science support, and the other is that we need to build a data center for statistics and centralized processing. Of course, agriculture and geography are both sensitive areas and require national support."

The veteran said: "The steps can be smaller, just like when we set up experimental fields. You can try a part of the area first, understand a crop, and then slowly expand."

Bai Xi immediately said: "Then what do you think..."

"How about rice? Your agricultural science is definitely the best. I'll study rice first."
