Israel's agricultural knowledge attracts worldwide attention. Why is Israel doing so well in agriculture?

Israel has made a detailed study on crop nutrition physiology, and the integration of water and fertilizer is the core technology of agricultural modernization in Israel. The key link of this core technology has changed from the previous equipment design and production to the collection of data such as crop water and fertilizer demand and time nodes.

Technical research such as soil improvement is also a technology that Israel pays more attention to. In natural planting areas, the soil eroded by seawater and underground salt water is seriously salinized. Various agricultural research organizations have specialized researchers to carry out relevant experimental research around overcoming soil obstacles. At present, different progress has been made in the research of nutrient solution formula suitable for container culture substrate, salt migration by using different soil pores (capillaries) around crop roots, and treatment technology to reduce soil surface runoff.

Israel invests a lot of money in agricultural research every year. Sources of funds include government, private funds, enterprises, social donations and other channels. There are many agricultural research organizations. Agricultural research institutions under the Ministry of Agriculture are the most important government research institutions, with 6 research centers, 4 experimental stations and 1 crop gene bank. There are more than 300 agricultural scientists alone. There are also many universities, research institutes and high-tech companies engaged in research related to agriculture. Most educational and research institutions specialize in producing all kinds of equipment and instruments needed for scientific research.

Israel's agricultural technology research and development extension service system consists of scientific research institutions, extension institutions and farmers (agricultural companies). The extension organization consists of eight agricultural experimental stations distributed in the main agricultural producing areas, and more than 800 employees are engaged in agricultural technology extension. Broadcasting companies have relatively fixed service objectives. They regularly visit farms and orchards for guidance and demonstration. Farmers can also contact them at any time.

Israeli extension service personnel keep close contact with R&D institutions, get the latest technology in time and pass it on to farmers. New problems found in production will also be contacted with relevant scientific research institutions in time for targeted research and solution. Most of the business funds for agricultural technology research and development and extension services are funded by the government, and a small part is funded by related enterprises or foundations.
