The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations has recently proposed that rice growers should make full use of biotechnology and hybrid strains to improve the current decline in crop yields. Mr. Mahmoud Solh, Director of the Plant Protection and Production Department of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, said: “The output of crops has risen significantly in the 1970s and 1980s, but it has declined sharply since 1990, and crop resistance to diseases and insect pests has increased. Still weak.†About 75% of the world’s rice relies on farmland irrigation systems, but the amount of land and water is limited relative to rising crop yields. As the total population continues to grow, land and water resources used for irrigated rice production are inevitably decreasing. It is therefore likely that the increase in global rice production in the future will increase with the rice yield and output value per unit area of ​​land. According to statistics, in the tropics, the yield of rice planted using hybrid rice lines is much higher than that of the conventional lines. Mr. Mahmoud Solh said: “The successful portrayal of the rice genome provides more opportunities to identify and recognize the genes and biochemical pathways that increase rice yield, thereby improving rice quality and satisfying consumers.â€
