Seed buy five taboos

One bogey blindly follows: Some peasants like to follow the big stream in planting crops, and they also do so on seeds. They ignore their own soil, water and fertilizer, and management, and buy the same seeds with their neighbors. The result is of course very different. Only according to their own land conditions, choose the seeds according to local conditions, in order to obtain higher economic benefits. Second, avoid the trend of "high": Some breeders in the "high price is a good seed," the idea of ​​thinking, buy seeds there is a "higher" psychology, that the high price of the sale must be a good seed. In actual fact, in general, varieties with low yields, newly validated (identified) varieties, rare varieties, and varieties introduced from other regions are higher in price than general varieties, but these varieties are not necessarily more suitable than general varieties. Planting oneself and blindly selecting high-priced varieties will increase planting costs and may not always achieve ideal economic benefits. Therefore, when purchasing seeds, it is necessary to understand in detail the performance of the varieties, account for the cost of planting, and carefully purchase the varieties with high prices. The three bogey tends to “small”: Some breeders unilaterally believe that “small grain hybrids are of good purity”. When purchasing hybrid varieties, they use small grains as a criterion, which brings opportunities to some illegal seed traders. Specially selected small-commodity corn products are mixed with seeds for sale, and agricultural accidents involving pit farmers have occurred from time to time. Here to remind the majority of species, hybrids because of different combinations, the production of the seeds are small, there are large-grained, do not think that only the purity of small seeds is good, but do not easily buy small business hawker hybrids sold, should be above the county seed company Franchise shop to buy hybrids. 4. Avoiding “new” avoidance: At present, there are many new varieties of crops cultivated by various research and breeding units, but there are not many real-scale applications for production. When selecting new varieties, the majority of breeders must look for varieties that have been examined (recognized) by the Variety Approval Committee above the provincial level. In order to be prudent, they must first try a few new varieties and then plant them in large areas. Five avoidance tends to “outside”: Many breeders are likely to step into the misunderstanding that “local varieties are not as good as foreign varieties” in purchasing seeds, resulting in gullible advertising and serious economic losses. The breeder should select seeds suitable for his own conditions within the scope of the variety declared by the local seed management department. China Agricultural Network Editor
