Chapter 291: A New Breed of Turtle Cultivation Method!
However, the reason why Chen Hao planned to try breeding himself was actually because of the existence of the real BUG of [Mu Dun Chakra].
You want to!
When cultivating new plants and crop varieties, experts in general agricultural disciplines are assisted by the world's top cultivation equipment.
What bionic ultraviolet lamp, high-concentration nutrient solution, the top compound fertilizer, 24-hour constant temperature and humidity environment air conditioning, at most can only be said to accelerate the growth of plants. Even the top Nobel generals will never escape the long process of waiting for plants to blossom and bear fruit.
Eldest brother!
It's the law of time!
Even if human technology extends for another 30,000 years, it may not be able to break the constant laws of the universe!
For example, some graduate and doctoral students from agriculture and forestry universities in China, such as them, who are from special majors, have set their thesis topics early since they entered the university. Then I followed the professor and spent 4 or 5 years of my college youth cultivating new types of crops as my graduation thesis.
Wasn't there a news report some time ago that the corn of some scientific research base was stolen and the "original seeds" of new varieties of corn worth tens of millions were lost?
The loss of tens of millions of dollars mentioned in this news article is not to say how precious this corn is.
It's just a few corn cobs, are they inlaid with gold or drilled?
Have you eaten all the corn?
The goods in the vegetable market weigh only a few dollars!
However, what is really lost in the scientific research base is the precious time that was consumed before!
It took several years for people to go all the way from seed selection, to hybrid breeding, to do everything possible to care for the seedlings, as well as to screen and analyze from the massive observation data, to arrange the optimal hybrid direction, and then grind tofu for several years or even decades, in order to cultivate a few "original seeds" with promotion and production value.
Let's not mention the lost labor costs and material costs. The delay alone would have taken years to re-equent.
After all, there are cultivation methods and cultivation materials preserved, which can only mean that there can be fewer detours to start again.
But from the seedlings of crops, to generations of hybridization, to the selection of high-quality genes, you always have to spend time waiting, right?
Time is an insurmountable mountain for agricultural researchers!
But the problem is that Chen Hao's [Mu Dun Chakra] just circumvents the biggest difficulty of hybrid seedling cultivation - time!
Therefore, after pondering for a while in his own closed warehouse, Chen Hao quickly made up his mind and planned to use the power of [Mu Dun Chakra] to cultivate new apple varieties.
Of course, the cultivation of this new variety is not as easy as simple plant catalysis.
Chen Hao first collected several simplified variety cultivation theories on the Internet, and then bulldozed all the vegetable fields previously opened up in the warehouse, and then used the tip of the 240-pound big steel rod to re-divide these vegetable fields into dozens of experimental fields of similar size, and by the way, a piece of eye-catching digital markers were erected on the ridges.
After completing this step, Chen Hao began to set his sights on the 5 apple trees that had catalytically matured the Yanfu series. Let's call them the Mother Tree here!
"The most important thing in cultivating new varieties of fruit trees is the selection of the mother species. ”
"Since this Yanfu series of apples can flourish for a long time, it must have its unique advantages. ”
"Let's choose them as the mother seed!"
Chen Hao's mind was racing quickly, and then he picked up the iron scissors and began to cut the branches from the five mother trees that had been identified.
As soon as the dozens of branches were collected, the boy began to learn from the farmer to grow crops, and planted the mother branches one by one in the marked experimental fields.
The turtle deserves to be the turtle!
The branches of the apple trees were cut and carefully grafted with good rootstocks.
But what about Chen Hao, a turtle cub?
Directly the branches of these apple trees, like nails, were nailed into the mound one by one. This method is called cuttings in botany, and many crops are bred using this simple and crude method.
Like the grafting mentioned earlier, cuttings are also a method of vegetative propagation of fruit trees.
However, there are two big drawbacks of this method, the first is that the survival rate of seedlings is extremely low, 100 cuttings can take root and sprout at most only a dozen or twenty plants.
The second is that in the process of cuttings, the branches are affected by the external soil, water and temperature, and there is a high probability of growing deformed fruit trees.
As for the fruit produced by this deformed fruit tree, it is natural to have affected deviations in taste.
Therefore, in the eyes of those skilled fruit growers, good apple trees are selected for grafting this safe way to reproduce. Moreover, in terms of the time when the fruit trees bear fruit, the speed of [grafting] will be 1-2 years faster than that of [cuttings].
But the problem is that Chen Hao, a little turtle, is an out-and-out agricultural layman!
He had just taught himself about breed cultivation from the Internet, and he definitely didn't care so much.
According to his original words, it can be as simple as it can be!
Then, relying on the domineering power of the [Mu Dun Chakra], he began to catalyze these freshly cut branches from the mother tree in large quantities.
"Rustle!"
After cuttings, the branches begin to take root and sprout at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then grow rapidly.
About 5 minutes later, after spending dozens of [chakra], a total of about 40 apple trees of small size rose from these marked test fields.
After doing this step, Chen Hao began to walk around the experimental field again.
As he walked, he first removed all the crooked and forked fruit trees, and then added a batch of new branches to the empty experimental fields for re-cuttings and catalysis.
In the end, he had a total of 50 second-generation mother trees that were asexually propagated from the first-generation mother tree.
After preparing these 5 Yanfu varieties, 10 second-generation mother trees of each type, Chen Hao's next cultivation action became more cumbersome.
Because he's going to start trying cross-pollination!
And it's a cross-cross experiment of 50 second-generation mother trees!
Although the process seems to be very simple, for example, the pollen of the second-generation mother tree of Yanfu No. 3 is used to pollinate the pollen of the four second-generation mother trees of Yanfu 5, 6, 7 and 8.
After all, the apple trees are cross-pollinated before they can produce new fruits.
But the problem is, there are many results of this cross selection!
In addition, the 50 second-generation mother trees are not exactly the same, and they themselves have some genetic differences.
Therefore, a total of 10 cross-pollination options for 5 varieties can be multiplied by the number of 50 second-generation mother trees, and a total of 500 experimental results can be obtained.
Boy!
With such a huge combination of data, if you were to replace those graduate students and professors of Agriculture and Forestry University, you would not be able to get the corresponding experimental results after a few years of hard work.
But what about Chen Hao?
As soon as he raised his arm, he pressed his dark palm into the test field, and then muttered a few words of [Mu Dun: Plant Catalysis] for a moment.
500 experimental apple "seeds" with different colors, different textures, and different tastes have popped up on these second-generation mother trees one by one!
These chapters are too brain-consuming~
