Academy of Agricultural Sciences Develops Speedy Rice Breeding Technology

Pyongyang, August 27 (KCNA) -- According to Rodong Sinmun, the Academy of Agricultural Sciences has developed the Korean-style speedy rice breeding technology.

The technology is a ultra-modern one that artificially creates environmental conditions to speed up the growth of rice and reduce the growth period to the maximum.

The development of the new technology makes it possible to considerably shorten the cycle of breeding new rice varieties and increase the efficiency of relevant research while saving manpower and materials.

The development of the latest breeding technology for handling several generations of rice a year and the provision of necessary material and technical foundations have laid additional sci-tech foundations for breeding high-yielding rice seeds at an early date. -0-
