Chinese breeders have created the 2.2-meter tall "Giant Bamboo" variety

The height of a new hybrid rice variety developed by breeders in the experimental fields of China's Hunan province reached 2.2 meters, which was a real sensation. One.uz reports this.

This indicator attracted attention as it is twice as tall as ordinary rice varieties and even taller than the average human height. This variety, developed as a result of scientific research, is called "Giant Rice," and it features a robust root system and a lodging-resistant stalk structure.

Advantages of the new variety Despite the exceptionally tall stalk of the new rice variety, it does not lodge under the influence of wind and weight. Because the breeders have developed the root and stem system of the stalk in a special way, it remains stable.

The size of the stalk contributes to significantly more grain yield per ear than usual and serves to increase the total crop yield from the field. Significance for food security China is considered one of the world's leading countries in agrotechnologies and breeding.

Large amounts of funds are being allocated at the state level for agricultural genetics and the creation of new high-yielding varieties. In conditions where land resources are limited and the population is growing, such discoveries make it possible to obtain several times more products from less land.

In today's world, where the risk of water scarcity and climate change is increasing, studying the experiments of Chinese scientists and adapting them to local conditions is of great importance.
