Chapter 555 Has it been a long time?
After talking about the advantages, we naturally have to talk about the disadvantages.
3527 continued: "Its disadvantage is that its maturity cycle is long and takes more than 170 days. There is no way to plant two crops."
It takes a 170-day maturity cycle. That's really long enough.
Lin Lang asked: "What is the purpose of planting it now for testing?"
"To test the regenerated rice."
Lin Lang also learned about recycled rice. Recycled rice has quite high requirements for the accumulated temperature of rice. It is usually not necessary for a long growth cycle. The rice seeds usually selected should not exceed 145 days.
This kind of variety with a growth cycle of more than 170 days is obviously not suitable for planting recycled rice.
3527 must know this. Logically speaking, I wouldn’t think about doing this experiment.
Lin Lang thought about it for a moment and remembered that it mentioned an advantage of this rice: "Is it taking advantage of its low temperature resistance?"
"Yes, Lord. As long as the temperature of this rice is not below zero for a long time, it can still grow under the temperature of the soles of the feet. It can withstand frost drops. It can be grown half a month earlier than other rice seeds and planted rice seedlings. It can also be harvested one month later than ordinary rice seeds."
Lin Lang asked: "If it is regenerated rice, how long will it take for the second crop to be harvested again after the first crop is harvested?"
"Theoretically, it should be possible to harvest again within eighty days after the first harvest."
"What's the quality of that kind of rice?"
"The protein content can reach 9.1%, and starch is easier to hydrolyze, and contains a variety of trace elements needed by the human body. However, the taste is slightly worse, and according to our scoring standards, it can be rated at 96 points."
Lin Lang nodded, knowing that this can only be used for making wine. If the taste is worse than Roger rice, Lin Lang really thinks he can't eat it directly.
The yield of a single crop is high. If it can be planted as recycled rice, the annual output will definitely exceed two tons.
This rice seed is indeed very suitable for use as winemaking material production.
I just don’t know how much you can harvest when planting on the earth without the blessing of spiritual elements in the spiritual array and illusion.
Lin Lang doesn't have much hope.
However, this tall plant is very suitable for rice field farming.
Whether it is raising fish, crabs, or even ducks, it will not have any human or influence on rice.
He thought for a while and said to 3527: "Next year, we will combine this kind of rice with raising fish, crabs and ducks."
He saw that the rice was more than 25 cm in length, and its roots were well developed and its stems were thick, so there was no need to worry about being ruined by ducks.
Especially with long growth cycles, and the possibility of being used as regenerated rice, the breeding cycles of farmed animals in rice fields can also be longer.
That's a perfect match.
However, he also saw the situation of rice fields. The heights of the nearby rice fields and the canals and paddy fields are not much different.
This kind of high-plant rice can completely flood 20 to 25 cm of water. It is more suitable for the survival of breeding animals. But one problem needs to be solved.
That is the issue of water diversion.
Then you can only find paddy fields with a relatively different height from the rice field and the drop of the canal.
He picked it up and floated slowly over the rice fields.
"Dad, what are you looking for?"
In the past, my father flew very quickly with her holding her. Now why is it flying slower than a butterfly? And my father kept looking into the paddy fields.
Lin Lang smiled and said, "I'm looking for a suitable paddy field to grow the rice that kind of rice just now."
"Oh. Dad, do you want to have more rice of that kind?"
"yes."
"Why?"
"Because it is a kind of rice suitable for raising fish in rice fields or crabs, ducks and geese."
"Can ducks be raised in the fields? Are you not afraid of ducks eating rice?"
"I'm afraid. But when the rice is about to ripen, you can drive the duck out."
That’s how you do duck raising in rice fields. And raising ducks in rice fields does not mean that you don’t need to worry about driving the duck into the paddy fields.
Ducks cannot be fed in the paddy fields, and they have to be fed separately every day.
The purpose of driving the duck into the paddy fields is to prevent insects, and it can also eat weeds in the paddy fields and fatten the fields.
The most important thing is that ducks walk and forage in shallow waters in paddy fields to increase the soil’s lifting content. In addition, they can also leverage the soil to the roots of rice so that the rice will not be easily lodged.
The last benefit is that the rice just now should not be needed. Since it has a strong ability to resist lodging, that benefit is a bit useless.
So he planned to find suitable rice fields and put them in high water levels to flood them. At the same time, raising fish and ducks should not have to walk in the soil. When the fish species are put in, if they are larger, they don’t have to worry about being eaten by the ducks. The two should coexist harmoniously.
"Dad, how long does it take to harvest half of the rice?"
"It's usually between 130 and 150 days."
"Then why do those take 170 days? Is it because they want to grow taller?"
Hey, he never thought about this question.
He smiled and said, "Xixi observed it very subtlely. I think it is because of this. Look, rice can only grow by absorbing nutrients from the soil. That kind of rice must grow taller and stronger than other rices. So it takes longer to prepare before it blooms and bears fruit. So it matures later."
"So that's really that way. Dad, what does the recycled rice you just told Yuan Gengganu just now mean? Is Dad doing an experiment? Can I go with you too?"
Lin Lang knew that his daughter had a "100,000 Whys" recently, but he still patiently told her about the concept of recycled rice that he knew.
"It turns out that if the rice is harvested once, can it grow again?" Xixi was surprised. She thought that the rice stubble would die after the rice is harvested once.
Did she see something wrong before?
"Then why do we have to step on the rice stubble into the mud after harvesting the rice we planted and plant it again?"
"Because the second rice yield will be much lower, and the rice grains will be smaller."
I just don’t know what the regenerated rice of rice that kind just now would look like.
While flying, he answered his daughter's 100,000 whys.
Finally, he found a suitable paddy field in an area near the lake. Then he landed and called 3527: "Next year, this rice field will plant the rice seeds just now."
He also asked 3527 to ensure that the water depth of these paddy fields is not less than 20 cm throughout the year: "Prepare to hatch some ducks and some carp fry. After planting rice, the fry should grow to a length of more than ten cm. In addition, some river crabs are also prepared."
River crab refers to hairy crabs.
As for whether you can raise crabs in rice fields, what specifications you have reached before putting them, and whether you can raise them like fish and ducks or geese, Lin Lang needs to know more.
The rice cultivation area just now seemed to be all experimental varieties.
Lin Lang has not paid much attention to the waterway planting here for "several years". He just asked Ah 3527 to do more experiments, but the specific arrangements were not made.
Now it seems that 3527 is still very conscientious. He didn't even look at it, and it still did it meticulously according to his previous requirements.
The experimental field area just now seems to have more than 30 different varieties.
He asked 3527 and found out that those are newly crossed with stable and relatively good varieties with new traits. They are still planting now, and they want to see if there will be trait separation.
The final result of the experiment is that if it is determined that it is a variety with stable traits, it will be harvested and kept for rice seeds. If not, then you can only give up.
In other words, the preserved hybrid varieties can actually be planted on Earth.
This is the first time Lin Lang knows that he already has so many good varieties that may be helpful to the cultivation of the earth's grain.
Well, it seems that he hasn't paid attention to these rice fields for a long time...
