01

Peace (1976)

Was rated as the greatest rose variety in the 20th century. Its greatness lies not in itself, but in its legendary experience. It was cultivated by Frenchman Francis Mayang in 1939, and was named “Peace” by the American Pacific Rose Association in April 1945. At this time, Germany was conquered. In September, this rose called “Peace” was awarded the Gold Medal of the All-American Rose, and at this time, Japan announced its surrender. And at the first meeting of the United Nations that followed, every United Nations representative who participated in the meeting was presented with a “peace” rose, and the accompanying message was “We hope to promote the maintenance of lasting world peace.” The most legendary Color rose, peace. No one, it has witnessed the peace of mankind.

02 Queen Elizabeth (1979) It is well-deserved for being selected into the Hall of Fame. Prior to it, there was no classification of strong rose. In 1954, the Americans cultivated this kind of rose, which is known as a new classification of rose flowers. Why is it called the rose? Not only the flowers are much larger, but it can also open in clusters. And why it is called Queen Elizabeth, is not known. 03 Xiangyun (1981) Listening to the name, you know that this rose is famous for its fragrance. It was cultivated in Germany in 1963. When it blooms, it emits a strong aroma of citrus and roses. A glorious avenue with soft hands. 04 Iceberg (1983) A floribunda rose with excellent overall performance was born in Germany in 1958 and won the highest honor award of the British rose in the same year. It is one of the most popular rose varieties at present, and its outstanding features are: disease resistance, cold tolerance and excellent growth habits. 05 Double Happiness (1985) When you hear the name, please don’t think that it is Chinese. It is an American hybrid tea rose. It was bred in 1977, and now it has basically one plant, which shows its popularity. As for why the breeder gave it such a name, and the popularity of the Double Happiness Rose in China, it is hard to explain. 06 My Ang Papa (1988) I didn’t want to talk about this name, but when I saw this velvety black and red four for the first time, I was still shocked. It looked graceful and magnificent. With it as the parent, many new rose varieties that are beautiful and resistant to disease have been bred. 07 Pascali (1991) It is regarded as the most famous white rose. Since it was bred in 1961, it has become the most outstanding hybrid tea rose variety. The most loved by people is the high-hearted and quasi-feeling pattern and the almost pure white color. In 1963, it swept the world of rose all over the world at that time. But it wasn’t until 1991 that it was elected to the Hall of Fame of the Rose World, and it was a bit late for it. 08 Jajoy (1994) After being cultivated in the UK in 1972, it quickly occupied one of the top five hybrid tea roses. It is the descendant of Xiangyun. It not only inherits the most outstanding floral fragrance of Xiangyun, but also color, flowering form and disease resistance. All the characteristics and qualities are outstanding, and the top 5 is well deserved. 09 New Dawn (1997) It is the earliest existence cultivated in the rose palace in the world. It was born in England in 1930. It was the best large-flowered vine rose at that time, with excellent flowering. The height can reach 300-450 cm, the crown width can reach 180 to 300 cm, the flowers bloom in 3 seasons, and various resistances are extremely strong. So far, it is one of the best multi-season flowering vine roses. 10 Ingrid Bergman (2000) It is also a classic rose variety that has won this honor for its comprehensive performance ability. It was bred in 1984. It is a rose variety that can withstand -30℃ ultra-low temperature. In addition to being able to withstand ultra-low temperature, it is also not afraid of being exposed to rain. It is very heat-resistant, and the different climate and environment have little effect. It is simply a small strength in the world of rose flowers. 11 Bonica (2003) The magical Bonica, a floribunda rose cultivated in 1981 at Meon International in France. A rose flower that has been given a magical effect. The magic is that it is a variety that can be used flexibly. It can be cultivated as a floribunda rose or as a vine. Not only can it bloom in multiple seasons, but it also has strong disease resistance and hardly gets powdery mildew and black spot. 12 Lonza Gem (2006) A new variety bred by Meon International in France in 1985, but it was not favored at the time. Just when it was about to give up, it was discovered by a German company. Only then did the current Lonza gemstone become popular throughout the rose world. It has been a legend for several years, basically with one tree in hand 13 Irina (2006) So far, one of the most frequently flowered rose varieties. As a kind of yellow rose, the most surprising thing is not the large number of frequent flowers, but its excellent disease resistance. It has won many awards worldwide. . It was cultivated in Northern Ireland in 1984. 14 Graham Thomas (2009) One of the most successful rose varieties bred by David Austin of the United Kingdom. Since its birth in 1983, it has successively won more than 40 world awards as one of the most parental rose varieties. Among its descendants, there have appeared one after another, Charlotte, Grams Castle, Kind, Hyde Manor, Pat Austin and other outstanding rose varieties. 15 Sally Holmes (2012) The rose, which is said to cry after being seen by a single dog, is the most romantic rose flower, not one of them. This is a single rose. The reason why it is known as the most romantic rose is because it was named after the cultivator’s wife. And it is very flowery, 25 flowers can be bloomed on one branch. Nowadays, this romantic love rose has been planted in every corner of the world. 16 Cocktail (2015) It is still a shrub rose cultivated by the French Mayang, which can be planted as a vine. The most fascinating thing is its color difference. The yellow in the middle will continue to evolve into white with the flowering period. It is also a very disease-resistant and heat-resistant rose variety. I introduced you to the 16 most popular roses in the world today, all of which were once popular in the world, and there are no two in the limelight. I have not found the list afterwards, but there will definitely be more in the famous rose palace in the future. Yes, the new rose varieties, we will wait and see. I am @花房姑娘娟子, please pay attention, like, thank you!

Khan’s farm is located in Malihabad, a mango paradise in northern India with more than 10,000 hectares. Amir Khusro, the Indian-Persian poet, has called mango, native to India and tropical, subtropical climate, as “the most beautiful fruit of Hindus”. The cultivation of mangoes in India began many centuries ago during the Mughal Empire. This country is also the largest mango producer in the world, with more than 1,000 varieties and accounting for more than 40% of production. Mr. Khan and the mango season were good last year. The story of “mango trees 300 kinds of fruits” With the help of his son, Khan has grown mangos on 22 acres of farmland, a property cultivated by his grandfather since the 1900s. When Khan dropped out of high school and started his life, his family planted only a few local varieties, similar to nearby mango farms. Khan’s dream of grafting mangoes rekindled at the age of 15, when he saw a rose-hybrid tree in a friend’s garden. The flower tree had flowers of different colors that made him wonder if a single tree could produce such fruits. “Naturally I want to propagate the mango tree like what I saw on that rose bush,” he said. The 300-fruit mango tree is inspired by a hybrid rose bush. At the age of 17, Mr. Khan successfully grafted 7 varieties of mango into one tree. After the flood killed the tree, he determined to learn more about grafting in the family orchard. Over the years, Khan has been steadily improving his art of grafting. In 1987, he started grafting different varieties onto a 100-year-old mango tree. These mango varieties were collected by him from all over the country, including rare varieties. Mr. Khan said that the tree currently has more than 300 types of mangoes and he calls it Al Muquaraar. “Miracle Mango Tree” has a wide canopy, large enough to accommodate 15 people sitting under it. The branches are heavy with fruit with leaves of different colors such as gray green or olive green … The mango fruit on each branch also has its own shape: round or oval, some green, yellow, others have orange, pink and purple. The variety of each type is identified by a small label on the stalk: Dasheri mango from a nearby village, Himsagar from West Bengal, Langra from Bihar or prized Alphonso mango, sweet, saffron-colored mango in demand. high domestically and internationally. Mr. Khan’s three famous mango varieties are Tommy Atkins, Suvarnarekha, and Husn-e-Ara. “This miraculous mango tree is not just a tree, but an orchard, a universe,” said Khan. Free fruit donation, breed new breeds When asked how to protect trees from birds and insects, Mr. Khan said: “I don’t drive them away. The well-being of nature is for all to share.” During the harvest season, Khan and his son pack farm produce for sale and export. They give free fruit of “miracle tree” to visitors to the garden. “Like two kids from the same parents but different in looks and personality, mangoes sprouting from the same seed can also be completely different,” Khan said of each mango, as if it were kids. In addition to grafting, Mr. Khan also bred new varieties of mango, experimented with flavor and texture and gave them creative names. He named his new mango variety after Prime Minister Narendra Modi (Namo Aam) and Bollywood actor Aishwarya Rai. Khan said: “I created a mango after the famous cricketer Sachin Tendulkar. He called to thank him and expressed his happiness.” Most recently, he named two new mangoes “doctor aam” and “police aam” to thank the work of the rescue pioneers during the pandemic. Many famous people visited Mr. Khan’s farm. Mr. Khan won many awards, including the Padma Shri, one of India’s highest civilian awards, and recorded in the Limca record book. He visited Dubai and Iran to teach the art of grafting. In 1999, he created a mango tree with more than 54 varieties for the Mughal garden inside Rastrapathi Bhavan, the official residence of the President of India. “Mango grafting is just an art and has no commercial value,” said DK Sharma, vice president of the Mango Growers Association of India. Mr. Khan disagrees, saying that grafting is very common in commercial fruit and nut production. He considers it an art of practical value.

The program offers 26 promising rice varieties for farmers to choose Most of the varieties selected are adapted to climate change After visiting the fields, the program interviewed farmers to know how they chose rice varieties Farmers answered the questions of the program The characteristics of promising rice varieties are hard, high yield, good quality rice, meeting export demand This is a cooperation program between Can Tho University and An Giang province in the current period. This cooperation aims to help 224 seed groups in the province, select and create promising rice varieties, and then the program supports farmers to do the following procedures, proposing to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. receiving nationwide circulation. The program gave 26 promising rice varieties for farmers to choose. Accordingly, the majority of farmers choose rice varieties 1,2, 9 and 26. On the basis of the evaluation of promising rice varieties, the institute will do the following procedures to support farmers to carry out the manual procedures. received nationwide circulation and named new rice varieties.

Customers come to Mr. Loi garden to order flowers. Photo: Thanh Nghia.

Currently, the selling price of these flowers is dozens of times higher than that of ordinary flowers, helping his family have an attractive income source.

Anh Loi said that these flower varieties originated from Thailand, which he imported and began to experiment and propagate for about 2 years and this was the first year he launched to the market. The special feature of these varieties is that the plants flower all year round, with strange flower colors, looking very beautiful.

Currently, the orange and golden phoenix flowers have just been propagated for more than a month, only about 1 inch high, the selling price ranges from 150 to 180 thousand VND, only the plants are about 5 feet high and have given flowers the selling price. up to several million dong per tree.

The mutant flowering tree with 2 colors on the same tree sells for several million dong. Photo: Thanh Nghia

In particular, in Mr. Loi, there are several plants that produce 2 kinds of flowers on the same rare tree, so the selling price is 3 times higher than that of conventional trees.

According to Mr. Loi, this cultivar flower blooms all year round, currently most of the seedlings in his garden have been ordered by traders, many customers have come to buy but supply is not enough.

That is because the farmer owns a grafted mango tree to create 300 different types of mango per tree.

Mr. Kalimullah Khan has been passionate about grafting mangoes on the same tree since he was 17 years old.

The man with a skillful hand is called Kalimullah Khan, 80 years old, also nicknamed “the mango man”.

The mango varieties he grafted onto trees were brought from a nearby village or from other locations across India.

Currently, India is the largest mango producer in the world with 40% of global production and the country has up to 1000 different varieties of mango.

The special thing is that Kalimullah Khan has not finished high school and has cultivated on the agricultural land left by his grandfather with the support of his son.

Mango tree with 300 different fruits impresses many people when coming here.

At the age of 15, Mr. Khan was delighted to see hybrid roses planted in a friend’s garden.

On a persimmon tree there are flowers of different colors that motivates him to think of a unique mango tree with many fruits. At the age of 17, Mr. Khan grafted 7 different types of mango on the same tree. Unfortunately, flash floods caused this tree to be damaged, but this old man still retains his passion.

Today, he personally creates many different varieties of mango and is known by everyone.

In 1987, Kalimullah Khan started grafting different types of mango onto a 100-year-old mango tree. In addition to grafting, he also created new varieties of mango and named after famous people in the fields …

Currently, he has a farm located in a belt specializing in growing mango up to 10,000 hectares of India. During the harvest season, he and his son pick mangoes and put them in barrels for sale, export or give them free of charge to visitors.

Many famous people visited Mr. Khan’s farm. This old man also won many awards including Padma Shri – the noble award in India.

He also went to Dubai and Iran to teach grafting, in 1999 he created 54 different varieties of mango trees for Mughal gardens in the presidential mansion of India.

Initially raised and developed well

On April 14, Research Institute for Aquaculture 3 (Institute III) in collaboration with USC University (Australia) organized a workshop to evaluate the results of the project to improve production of high value sea cucumber through the public. molecular turmeric.

Accordingly, the above project comes from the project idea: Strength of cooperation between USC and Institute III on sea cucumber research.

Workshop scientists evaluate the results of successful production of white breast sea cucumber by molecular technology. Photo: KS.

In Vietnam, the component selected white-breasted sea cucumber (Holothuria fuscogilva) to research on hatchery production and rearing experiment led by Dr. Nguyen Dinh Quang Duy (Institute III).

According to Professor Abigail, USC (Australia), white-breasted sea cucumber is a species of high economic value, and Institute III is a place for reproductive research in sand sea cucumber, so it is very suitable to study white-breasted sea cucumber. have a lot of experience in this field.

Currently, aquaculture in Vietnam needs 20 million sea cucumbers. But currently there are only about 1 million breeds of ginseng. Therefore, the breeding of white-breasted sea cucumber is very necessary to meet the needs of the market, while increasing the economic value of sea cucumber.

White-breasted sea cucumber. Photo: KS.

With the use of a hormone produced at USC, extracted from the nerves of the sea cucumber itself, and then transplanted to a large-scale multiplication of mem fungi in the laboratory, the hormone has a stimulating effect. Like high reproduction and does not affect the health of the parent sea cucumber.

Dr. Nguyen Dinh Quang Duy confirmed, the use of hormones instead of traditional methods has stimulated the reproduction of white-breasted sea cucumber successfully.

Accordingly, the technology has produced nearly 20,000 breeders for experiments and commercial trials on cages in Khanh Hoa and Quang Ninh with 3 participating households.

Results after 8 months of farming, white breast sea cucumber achieved good results. Specifically, from seed with a weight of about 0.3 grams raised to 60 grams of weight and 92% survival rate.

Regarding the initial results of the experimental release of white-breasted sea cucumbers on cages, Mr. Nguyen Duc Thoai, from Dam Mon village, Van Thanh commune, Van Ninh district (Khanh Hoa) said that sea cucumber grows and develops well, high survival rate. Therefore, he wants the project to continue breeding on a large scale to serve farmers in need.

Dr. Nguyen Dinh Quang Duy shared: Initial project results bring very good results when successfully producing white-breasted sea cucumber, which has an economic value 5 times higher than that of sand sea cucumber. At the same time, opening up opportunities to create livelihoods for farmers in the coming time, as well as reducing the pressure on exploiting natural sea cucumbers that are endangered, contributing to environmental protection …

Mr. Andrew Barnes, Deputy Embassy of Australia in Vietnam highly appreciated the cooperation between USC and Institute III that successfully produced white breast sea cucumber with a new method, opening up valuable opportunities to produce valuable sea cucumber for the industry. this row.

Not only that, when he surveyed the sea cucumbers farmed at sea in Van Ninh, the more clearly he saw that the project goal was very clear, initially creating a new profession for farmers, as well as reducing pressure to exploit sea cucumbers in natural, thereby protecting the environment better.

Reducing pressure on natural exploitation, opening up new economy

At the seminar, representatives of Quang Ngai Department of Agriculture and Rural Development expressed concern about the successful application of white breast sea cucumber varieties.

According to this representative, Quang Ngai does not currently have any model to raise white-breasted sea cucumber. Sand sea cucumbers have been cultured in the area for about 3 years now with good development results and efficiency. Therefore, Quang Ngai province is oriented to develop sand sea cucumber on a large scale.

Mr. Andrew Barnes, Deputy Embassy of Australia in Vietnam visited the model of raising white-breasted sea cucumber in Van Phong bay, Van Ninh. Photo: MH.

GS. Dr. Ngo Xuan Binh, Deputy Director of the Department of Science and Technology (Ministry of Science and Technology), said that technology to stimulate reproduction by hormones in Vietnam has not been applied much.

Therefore, with the successful production of white-breasted sea cucumber with this technology is truly breakthrough, opening up opportunities as well as creating a livelihood for growers. However, in order for the production of white-breasted sea cucumber to be more successful, commercialization is needed.

For white-breasted sea cucumber, the locality wants in 2021 to have seed to stock at Ly Son marine reserve and soon access research technology to produce white-breasted sea cucumber varieties.

Regarding the stocking of white-breasted sea cucumbers at Ly Son marine reserve, Dr. Truong Ha Phuong, Deputy Director of Institute III, said that it is expected that in the near future, it will coordinate to stocking in this area with seed sources. artificial.

And Mr. Vo Khac En, Deputy Director of Khanh Hoa Fisheries Department, assessed that with the successful production of white-breasted sea cucumber, it will help diversify aquatic breeds, reduce the pressure of natural exploitation, especially serving. strategic direction for fisheries development in the coming time.
