我省各地有不少蔬菜生产队,由于缺乏蔬菜采种技術,年年依靠向外地或供銷部門購买种子,往往因对所調种子生育特性了解不夠,致使生产蒙受重大損失。例如一九六五年大同市沙嶺生产队自菜子商店买同的五月鮮豆角,因不适应于本地区的自然条件,只長豆秧不开花结莢,十五亩豆角没摘到一个豆莢;太原市許西生产队計划种植一百亩晚熟甘兰,从汾陽县某生产队买囘的种子,發芽率只有百分之五,生長势又十分衰弱,使生产計划完全落空。至于买囘“韭菜子”种出小葱,买同“白菜子”种出芥菜,及由于生产种子的單位不講究选种和隔离采种而造成品种混杂退化的事故更是屡見不鲜。为了避免上述情况的繼續發生,認真貫徹中央提出的良种自选、自繁、自留、自用的方針,我們特請从事我省蔬菜研究的周祥麟同志撰寫这个講座,分期刊登各种主要蔬菜的采种方法,供国营农場、蔬菜生产队及农村知識青年参考。 There are many vegetable production teams in different parts of our province. Due to the lack of vegetable seed collection techniques, they often suffer heavy losses in their production due to the lack of understanding of the characteristics of fertility of the transferred seeds every year depending on the purchase of seeds from the field or the supply department. For example, in 1965 Datong Shaling production team from the rapeseed shop to buy the same fresh beans in May, because they are not adapted to the natural conditions in the region, only long bean seedlings not flowering pod, fifteen acres of beans did not pick one Pods; Xuxi Taiyuan production team plans to plant a hundred acres of late-ripe sweet orchid, from a plant in Fenyang buy back the seeds, the germination rate of only 5%, the growth potential is very weak, the production plan completely lost ground. It is not uncommon to buy back “leek seeds” to grow shallots, to buy mustard seeds for the same “cabbage seeds”, and to produce mixed and degraded varieties due to insensitivity to seed selection and isolation for seed production. In order to avoid the above-mentioned situation from happening, we conscientiously implement the principle proposed by the Central Government for selecting, choosing, propagating and retaining ourselves and using ourselves. We specially invited Comrade Zhou Xianglin, who is engaged in vegetable research in our province, to write this lecture and publish the methods of seed collection for various major vegetables For the state farms, vegetable production teams and rural youth knowledge.
