The yield measurement result released on Sunday indicated the average yield per mu (about 667 square meters) in the early season of the rice ratoon crops reached 905.1 kg, nearing the national standard for super hybrid rice. Ratoon cropping is a rice planting model in which rice crops are able to regrow from the stubble after the first harvest, according to experts. Three plots of land were randomly selected for the test within a demonstration area covering 170 mu in the province's Poyang County, said Wu Wenge, head of the expert panel, adding that additional efforts are underway to cultivate the crop.
