Drought and water shortage, a large area of desert, this is the label of Israel. But it is such a country that stands on the desert, and its agricultural achievements are amazing. In this desert, Israel forged its own agricultural miracle, and a large desert became fertile land; Agricultural employees, who account for 5% of the national labor force, provide more than 90% of the national food. Israel exports a large number of agricultural products, accounting for 40% of the European melon and vegetable market, and is known as? European fruit basket? .

1. Advanced breeding technology

Israel's natural conditions are harsh, and water shortage is an indisputable fact. Sand control is a long-term project, and there will not be much progress for a while. Therefore, in order to better develop agriculture, Israel is committed to the research and development of crop seeds. Through plant engineering, genetic engineering, hybridization and genetic modification, Israel has continuously improved the disease resistance of seeds and the adaptability of crops, making them adapt to the local natural environment such as climate, soil and water, and producing green agricultural products with high added value and high nutritional value. At the same time, crop seeds with less water demand and a variety of new varieties resistant to disasters and diseases have been cultivated. In the process of cultivating new seeds, Israel has also established the world's first plant resource bank dedicated to storing wild grains, with 80,000 seeds with different genetic genes.

2. Unparalleled insecticidal technology

Israel used to produce the most common agricultural chemicals in the world. In order to improve the agricultural production environment, they vigorously developed biological insecticidal technology and cultivated a spider that specializes in eating insects that destroy strawberries. This kind of spider has been exported to California now.

They also use fine-hole nylon nets to cover the greenhouse to effectively prevent pests from flying in. At the same time, 85% of citrus plantations in Israel have implemented integrated pest management, using natural organisms such as wasps or other insects to deal with pests and minimizing the use of chemicals.

3. Superb water-saving technology

As a desert country, water shortage in Israel is inevitable. Israel has made a lot of efforts to save water. In order to collect the limited rainwater, they developed a tool that can dig small holes in the ground so that the rainwater will not be lost when it rains. This alone can increase the yield of wheat by 500 kilograms per hectare. At the same time, they also developed reusable plastic trays to collect dew from the air and reduce the water needed by crops or trees by as much as 50%. In addition, in order to reduce the cost of water use, Israel has also vigorously developed technologies such as brackish water irrigation and water-saving agriculture, and finally achieved success.

4. Precision irrigation technology

In order to save water as much as possible, Israel invented drip irrigation, which was applied to agricultural production more than 30 years ago. Now it has spread all over the world. Drip irrigation in Israel is to mix fertilizer into water, assemble emitters according to different crops and adjust the appropriate drip speed. Moreover, Israel's irrigation method is controlled by a computer driven by solar energy, and the water is sealed by a plastic pipe irrigation system, and the water containing fertilizer and medicine is slowly and evenly delivered to the roots of plants or sprayed on the stems and leaves in time. Compared with large border irrigation, this technology can save water by 90%, save energy by 50% and increase production by 30% on average.

5. Unique warehousing technology

In order to keep the grain fresh, Israel designed and invented the barn, which was invented by Professor shlomo Navarro, an international food technology consultant. A huge bag can not only moisturize but also expel air, and its application scope has now spread all over the world. In addition, Israel's storage technology has made in-depth research on the biology of stored grain pests, the application technology of phosphine, physical insecticidal and other aspects, and achieved remarkable results, effectively ensuring the country's food security.

6. Magic? Earth? Research and development technology

Despite the help of high technology, the desert area accounts for more than half of the land area, which is still valuable to Israel. In order to make up for this deficiency, the Israelis have developed a new? Earth? , this kind? Earth? At the high temperature of 1000, a substance called vermiculite is formed, which has good air permeability and can keep much more water than its own weight. It is equal to increasing the planting area, and planting crops with it can greatly increase the yield.

7. The world's leading greenhouse technology

Israel is called Europe? Winter kitchen? This reputation benefits from its leading greenhouse technology. Plastic film is the main cover of greenhouse. Israel attaches great importance to the development and utilization of plastic films. Modern plastic films are more durable, can resist the corrosion of sulfides in pesticides, and block some harmful spectra in sunlight. In addition to thin films, greenhouses in Israel mainly use computers to automatically control water, fertilizer and climate, automatically adjust temperature, humidity, air and light, including curtains and skylights, and automatic sunlight reflection systems.

8. Strong soilless culture technology

Israel uses soilless culture technology to grow some vegetables and other crops under complete artificial control? Artificial climate room? In order to get rid of the restrictions of geographical and climatic factors on cultivation conditions. They adopt soilless culture technology, which not only avoids the diseases and pests caused by using soil as plant growth medium, but also is more conducive to controlling irrigation and realizing agricultural mechanization. Israel? Artificial climate room? Tomatoes in China set a record of 500 tons per hectare. Now, the alarm of the world fresh water crisis has sounded, and how to make full use of water resources has become a difficult problem for people all over the world. Israel, a country that is extremely short of water, has become a miracle in the history of agriculture. We should all learn from it and learn from its advanced agricultural production methods and science and technology. Only in this way can we face the unfavorable factors brought about by the lack of water resources.

In a word, to develop global agriculture in the future, the most important thing is strong high technology. At this point, Israel has clearly become the leader.
