Aerospace breeding and cultivation of space vegetables for agricultural production

As the mission of R&D, production and industrialization of space high-tech series products, Shenzhou Space Group will move the space station astronauts' daily necessities and daily necessities in space life to the ground for the daily life of the public. It will create The infinite possibilities of human life. Linyi Fertilizer Network Copyright

Space breeding fosters space vegetables for agricultural production. Space breeding is also known as space mutation breeding. Simply put, seed seeds or test tube seedlings are sent to space, and space-specific environments are used to induce seed mutations. After the seeds are returned to the ground, the new seeds are selected and the new varieties are finally cultivated. Linyi Fertilizer Network Copyright

On the space manned spaceship, we have seeds such as corn, pepper, eggplant, tomato, and peas. After returning, we have to screen for more than 4 generations, select seeds with valuable and promising prospects, and then select high-quality seeds for hybridization. After the performance is stable and then regional trials and production demonstrations, it is possible to cultivate space vegetables from it. Linyi Fertilizer Network Copyright

So far, China has used returning satellites and Shenzhou spacecraft more than 20 times, carrying thousands of crop seeds and microbial strains, and obtained a large number of new trait varieties, which have been widely applied in agricultural production. Linyi Fertilizer Network Copyright

Shenzhou Space Group pointed out that compared with ordinary vegetables, space vegetables have large fruits and high yields. No matter what kind of vegetables, the fruits are several times larger than ordinary vegetables, but the growth and maturity are the same as ordinary vegetables. Moreover, the vitamin content of space vegetables is more than 2 times higher than that of ordinary vegetables, and the content of trace elements beneficial to the human body is much higher than that of ordinary vegetables. In addition, space vegetables have a good taste, are more delicious than ordinary vegetables, and have much better resistance to pests and diseases. Linyi Fertilizer Network Copyright

Aerospace Breeding and Cultivation of Space Vegetables for Agricultural Production? Shenzhou Space Group pointed out that the use of aerospace technology for crop breeding is an emerging field of research with Chinese characteristics. Although it is still in its infancy, it has been shown to be attractive. Prospects, like biotechnology, nuclear technology agricultural applications, etc., space technology breeding will become an effective way to promote China's grain production and ease food pressure.
