Abstract: |
Peanut is the second large crop in Guangdong Province, the cultivated area of which ranks only second to that of rice, perennially maintaining at 300 000~350 000 hectares, and ranks the third nationwide, after Henan and Shandong. The present situation of peanut production, breeding and seed industry was reviewed, and the existing problems and development countermeasures were discussed. In terms of production, the peanut cultivated area in Guangdong kept at a stable level, the unit yield increased gradually, total yield increased steadily, but the small planting scale and low mechanization degree restricted the scope of peanut production. In terms of breeding, the high-yield breeding project realized three breakthroughs, unprecedented successes were achieved in the resistance breeding of bacter ial wilt and rust disease, however, the variety with high oleic acid, high oil and fit for eating and processing was still insufficient. In terms of seed industry, Guangdong was the most primary base of peanut seed production and marketing in south China, but the relatively backward development mode of peanut seed industry could not reach the modernized standard. In regard to the above-mentioned problems, some development countermeasures were proposed as follows: (1) subsidy for peanut planting should be brought into the government schedule of agricultural subsidy, encouraging peanut planting and expanding the planting area; (2) improving the mechanization level of planting and decreasing the labor cost; (3) accelerating the process of diversified breeding to meet the market demand; (4) enhancing the promotion of new peanut varieties and further improving the unit yield; (5) strengthening law enforcement to ensure the virtuous development of seed industry; (6) creating a propagation system for south peanut varieties to be cultivated in north regions, improving the efficiency, quality, and reducing the cost of seed production. |
