On September 2 , 2020 , the People ’s Government of Kaiyuan City of Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture , Nanjing Agricultural University , and Kaiyuan Tianhua Biological Industry together with held the unveiling ceremonial of the " Chen Fadi " workstation of Nanjing Agricultural University in Zhihua Town , Kaiyuan City .

This mark the opening move of the Kaiyuan National Modern Agricultural Industrial Park in full term of germplasm resource trade protection , Modern specie inquiry and ontogeny , seedling breeding , and high - calibre efflorescence planting through institute - administration - enterprisingness cooperation . It has also laid a solid foundation for Kaiyuan to advertize biodiversity preservation , accelerate the modernization of husbandry and rural areas , and in full realize rural revitalization through the combining of industry , instruction , and inquiry .

The expert workstation builds an intelligent multi - span greenhouse for soilless cultivation of 5,000 m2as a foot for combining scientific research and practice , supporting the construction of intelligent piddle and plant food ascendency systems , mist system , external respiration system , temperature control systems , shading scheme , blackout systems , and other facility .

" swear on the high - lineament geographic and climatical conditions of Kaiyuan , school novel flower kind , work on the development points of the local flower industriousness , and make Kaiyuan blossom bigger and strong . " Chen Fadi , President of Nanjing Agricultural University tell .

In May of this year , a research team compose of 6 PhDs and postgraduates in ornamental gardening from Nanjing Agricultural University was stationed in the workstation . Relying on a series of projects such as the national research and evolution programme and expert workstations , enquiry on new chrysanthemum varieties , seedling breeding , variety comparison , precise control of water and fertilizer , caliber maintenance , and soil health direction are carried out here .

Here , each appendage of the inquiry team has their own humble data-based greenhouse and their own inquiry topics . Through different fostering method , traits such as electric resistance are present into cultivars , and newfangled and classifiable varieties are selected to make heyday more outstanding and immune , or to increase the flowering full point .

" In Nanjing , prime are more often than not plant only once a year , and one round of intercrossed breeding or selection is carried out . After we cooperate with the Kaiyuan floor , we can use Kaiyuan ’s innate advantageous light and temperature to produce 3 to 4 crops of flowers each year . In this direction , multiple round of breeding can be carried out each twelvemonth , greatly shortening the procreation cycle , " explain Liu Huahao , a graduate educatee in the research chemical group of the Kaiyuan Base of Nanjing Agricultural University .

Seven climatic zones , including river valley mood , northern tropical climate , southern subtropical clime , mid - subtropic climate , northern subtropical climate , warm temperate mood , and tableland climate coexist in Kaiyuan . The diversity of soil as a result of these diverse climatic weather makes Kaiyuan copious in biodiversity , and thus suitable for a multifariousness of flora to survive and breed .

While the workstations use scientific and technical method to carry out inquiry about varieties , developing , and seedling breeding , another master task of the researchers is the protection of germplasm resources .

The expert workstation has built a germplasm imagination preservation nursery , which will include 5000 chrysanthemum germplasm resources collect and uphold by Nanjing Agricultural University , more than 3800 flower germplasm resourcefulness preserve in vivo by Kaiyuan Tianhua Biological Industry , and about 280 pull together from the secret sector . The traditional Taiwanese chrysanthemum germplasm resource have been transpose to the workstation for planting , and they are being preserved while also being developed and utilized .

panoptic data direction can be see in the nursery . There are sensors to collect information on short , humidness , and temperature . There is also a QR code at the door , which offer the great unwashed with data about the flora and the processes in the nursery . moreover , researchers can monitor micrometeorology and grime conditions in substantial - time to ascertain that germplasm resources are preserve in a suited environment to avoid loss and degradation .

The Kaiyuan National Modern Agricultural Industrial Park has signed a contract with 25 well - known flower company at home and afield , such as Ball Horticultural Company from the US , and Anthura and Schreurs Roses from the Netherlands . Moreover , the Park and China Agricultural University , Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences , Nanjing Agricultural University , Yunnan Agricultural University , Yunnan Academy of Agricultural Sciences , and eight other universities and institute have cooperated to build workstations , promote the deep integration of production , education , research , and diligence , and accelerate the transformation and program program of scientific and technological achievements .

Up to now , the Kaiyuan National Modern Agricultural Industrial Park has independently acquire 29 varieties of chrysanthemum and wintersweet peak , introduced and developed 168 novel flower mixture with self-governing rational property right , and preserved more than 1,000 germplasm resource . From January to July , it produced 265 million seedlings , with a flower yield value of 870 million RMB . It has patented seedling such as rosebush , genus Gerbera , phalaenopsis , and chrysanthemum , break dance the long - stand monopoly of extraneous peak variety .
