I build an oasis in the northwest

Chapter 60 The Professor is Really a Good Man
Forestry companies belong to Category A in the four industry classification categories of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery.

So the company in front of us is not so much a company as a large forestry area.

It includes research institutes, seedling fields, breeding bases, forestry fields, experimental fields, etc. It occupies a very large area and is surrounded by protective nets.

Stopping on the side of the road, Chen Mu directly called Fu Yan.

"Brother, I'm here."

"Well, wait a minute, I'll go pick you up now."

A few minutes later, a young man in a shirt and trousers who looked very good-tempered came out quickly, said a few words to the security guard, then waved and shouted.

"Chen Mu, drive in."

Chen Mu obeyed and drove in. Under Fu Yan's command, he stopped in the parking lot not far from the security booth.

After getting out of the car, he stretched out his hand and said enthusiastically, "Senior brother."

Fu Yan shook his hand and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go see the seedlings first."

He patted the two electric cars beside him: "The nursery is a bit far away and it's not easy to walk. Let's ride there."

A few minutes later, the two of them rode towards the nursery base one after the other.

Chen Mu looked at the forestry area and the staff coming and going, and asked curiously: "Brother, how big is your forestry area?"

"About twelve thousand acres."

Hearing this, Chen Mu blushed a little.

Thinking of the fact that he dared to apply for the registration of a forestry company based on the sandy land of only [-] mu, and then looking at the forestry area in front of him, which has almost [-] football fields and everything... He was suddenly a little embarrassed to mention that he had a forestry company up.

"Chen Mu, do you want to use seeds to raise seedlings? Or use cuttings to raise seedlings?"

Fu Yan explained: "From a normal perspective, after you sign the authorization contract, we will only give you saplings, and you need to cultivate the saplings yourself."

This is an unspoken rule, even if it is clearly written in the contract that the authorized party gives the seedlings, it is useless, because there is a lot of room for manipulation between seedlings.

Seedlings are closely related to the degree of drought tolerance, resistance to diseases and insect pests, and genetic characteristics of their offspring.

Just like breeding pigs, breeding cattle, and breeding sheep all need to be carefully selected, seedlings also need to be selected from the best.

Depending on the variety, a good seedling can be sold for a four-digit price, which is equivalent to hundreds of times.

Therefore, after signing the authorization contract, most forest farm owners will buy directly at a high price, or cultivate slowly by themselves.

Fu Yan continued: "With our relationship, after the contract is signed, our company will provide you with high-quality seedlings. But there will also be some subtle differences between the seeds and the seedlings inserted into the poles, which I have to ask clearly. "

Chen Mu nodded to express his understanding.

Although both seedlings and Haloxylon can be raised by seeds or stems, but in the unspoken rules of the industry, the seedling selection standards of these two seedling methods are different.

For example, the survival rate of cuttings depends on the age of the seedlings, their growth status, the condition of the spikes, and the location of the branches and branches. Therefore, when selecting, we will prefer those with luxuriant branches and many branches as seedlings.

The advantage of growing seedlings from cuttings is that they can maintain the excellent genetic characteristics of the mother plant and save time, eliminating the need to go through the process of seed germination and seedling growth.

The disadvantage is that the number of available cuttings depends on the number of branches of the mother plant body, the number is small, the yield is low, and because rooting is required, it is necessary to use rooting nutrient agents during the maintenance process.

Seed seedlings are relatively simple, and those who are healthy and produce more seeds are mainly selected as seedlings.

The advantages of seed seedlings are low cost and large seedling yield. Because they grow from the seed stage, they have developed root systems and vigorous growth.

The disadvantages are high technical requirements, complex management procedures, large labor input, and high requirements for nutrients, moisture, and nutrients in the soil.

As Chen Mulai, who is currently very poor and doesn't know how long he will have to wait to get the money, he can only choose the cuttings that will see the money the soonest, and the investment is not so much.

And before coming, he specifically asked the system about the efficacy of seedling medicine.

According to the system, the seedling medicine is to maximize the various values ​​​​of the saplings within one year, and the degree of quality is improved to the best, and the drug resistance, drought tolerance, root grip ability of the cultivated offspring, and resistance to diseases and insect pests are enhanced. ability.

And because the medicine can enhance the cell vitality in the saplings, the growth rate of the broken branches will be about three times faster than that of ordinary saplings in a short period of time, but because they are separated from the seedlings, as time goes by, The vitality in these branches will slowly decrease until they become ordinary saplings.

"Brother, I want to use cuttings to grow seedlings."

"Ah."

After riding for more than half an hour, the two first arrived at the Haloxylon ammodendron nursery.

Fu Yan pointed to the nursery that was divided into three parts in front: "On the left is the native species developed by the teacher. In the middle is the native species that has been genetically improved to increase drought tolerance and root hardness."

Chen Mu was puzzled: "Enhance the hardness of the roots? Is this to prevent gerbils from biting?"

Fu Yan nodded: "Yes, do you know about the rat plague in Wulashan, Mongolia Province three years ago?"

Chen Mu nodded.

Wulashan in Mongolia Province is the largest Cistanche deserticola production area in the country, accounting for more than 90% of the country's output. It is an important local specialty and economic source.

Unfortunately, three years ago, farmers failed to discover the gerbils underground in time, resulting in an overrun of gerbils.

Gerbils live by gnawing on the branches and roots of the Haloxylon tree. If they eat too much, the roots of the Haloxylon tree will die. die.

Therefore, when Cistanche was unearthed in April and May, people discovered that there was such a serious rat plague.

But gerbils can only be trapped and killed with poison bait or mouse traps, the effect is slow, and the killing is also slow. With the breeding speed of gerbils, it is impossible to kill them all.

Because of this, the production of Cistanche was greatly reduced that year, and the purchase price once soared to around [-].

And because it takes three years for replanted Haloxylon ammodendron to mature, and another three years for Cistanche deserticola, the Cistanche deserticola market in Wulashan has not returned to its former glory until this year.

"Because of this incident, the teacher wanted to strengthen the hardness of the tree roots to prevent gerbils from biting and gnawing."

Fu Yan pointed to the piece on the right again: "This is the teacher's use of tissue culture technology to enhance and maintain the vitality of cell genes, so as to speed up the growth rate, shorten the maturity time, and shorten the length of time for planting Cistanche deserticola."

"The technologies for these two saplings are not yet mature, and they are both in the experimental stage. However, I suggest you take these two saplings away. First, you can expand the planting range, and second, you can increase planting data and templates." Fu Yan paused and looked towards Chen Mu: “These studies on teachers are very important.”

Chen Mu was taken aback for a moment, and looked back for some unknown reason.

Fu Yan let out a sigh of relief. He was just as stupid as the teacher said, so he insisted on saying it clearly.

"Did you do experiments with the teacher when you were in school!"

Chen Mu reacted for a long time, and then suddenly realized, and his heart was hot.

The professor and senior fellow students are really good people!
