Why do scientists plant "dogs eat" wheat fields?

The so-called "dog food" wheat field is because all kinds of wheat in the wheat field are high and low, green and yellow, fat and thin, and some grow very tall, and they have to be supported by bamboo poles to avoid lodging. This is the experimental field of China Academy of Agricultural Sciences in Shunyi District, Beijing, and it is the largest field display of drought-resistant and heat-resistant wheat germplasm resources in China. There are 455 kinds of wheat germplasm materials planted here, so there will be different growth.

After 39 years of drought and artificial simulated high temperature environment experiments, scientists screened out more than 1 10 wheat germplasm resources with outstanding drought resistance and heat resistance, which provided solid support for wheat drought resistance breeding.

Experimental field of China Academy of Agricultural Sciences

The experimental field of China Academy of Agricultural Sciences refers to a piece of land near Zaojunmiao Road in Beijing North Third Ring Road, which is opposite to China Academy of Agricultural Sciences. This farmland is the experimental field of China Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the only farmland in Beijing's Third Ring Road, with an area of 150 mu. Because it is located in a bustling city, it is nicknamed "the best farmland" and "the most expensive cornfield in the world" by netizens.

This farmland is the experimental field of China Academy of Agricultural Sciences, where experimental crops such as wheat and corn are planted. Every year, the wheat here matures after planting awns. A large wheat field in Huang Chengcheng is hidden in the high-rise buildings of the city, which always attracts many photographers to take pictures here. The only wheat field in the Third Ring Road has become a unique scenery in Beijing.
