Yuan Longping: hybrid rice is on the way to fulfilling its potential
Abstract
2014 was a banner year for Yuan Longping, "the father of hybrid rice", and his team. The yield of "super rice" hit a new record of 1,026.7 kg per mu (about 15.4 t per ha), which represents an earlier than expected achievement of their target of 1,000 kg per mu.
