New Type of Disease Resistant and Saline Resistant Cotton---Shannon N02

The Shannong N02, a new strain of high-quality cotton that is resistant to disease and salt, has been successfully cultivated at Shandong Agricultural University. Recently, it passed the acceptance test of the Chengdu Institute of Agricultural Sciences, China Agricultural University and the Ministry of Agriculture. It is understood that this new line of field production in heavy salt and alkali production yielded 113.8 kilograms per mu, achieving a new breakthrough in salt-resistant cotton breeding. Shannong N02 is characterized by its strong stress resistance and its resistance to salinity and alkalinity. In the saline-alkali land where salinity reaches 0.4%, the seedling rate is 80% under normal conditions, while the control variety is difficult to grow seedlings; this new The varieties are resistant to Helicoverpa armigera and have strong resistance to aphids; they have strong resistance to diseases, especially resistance to wilt and Verticillium wilt; after testing, the fiber quality is good, reaching the national standard of Grade 2 high-quality cotton.
