Hunan: Plaudit for new plow

2012/11/15

A plowing machine invented by two rural inventors caught the attention of Yuan Longping - the renowned agricultural scientist known as the "father of hybrid rice" - due to its innovative concepts and technologies. 

The machine exhibited at a recent science and technology fair in the capital city Changsha can help rice better absorb nutrition in the plowed soil, while deeper furrows increase yields and improve quality. 

Yuan invited the two inventors to join his research team working on higher yields. 

They will fly to the national hybrid rice research center in Hainan in November with their patented machine.
