At this critical stage of paddy breeding, journalists at the special food institute in dalian, liaoning province, have seen the construction of a system of “smart plant protection” based on advanced equipment provided by the centre for the development of modern agricultural production in dalian city. Real-time collection, smart early warning and precision control of pests and pests are achieved through the deployment of 16 devices, such as signal lamps, small climate stations and remote real-time monitoring systems, in conjunction with ai image identification and large data analysis. It was described that the system could cover 20 acres to observe isolated fields and open isolated nurseries, forming a stereo-monitoring network from the ground to the sky and significantly increasing the effectiveness of pest response。
As a result, on 23 april, a training session on pest identification and monitoring techniques for dalian city was held at the special food research institute of dalian city on the bounty street in the prean district. With the deeper application of technologies such as the internet of goods, big data and artificial intelligence, agricultural pest and disease monitoring is moving towards intellectualization, precision and the injection of scientific and dynamic energy into establishing food security lines. The training will mark a key step forward in the development of new quality agricultural productivity in the city of dalian。

At the seed research and development end, the institute has introduced “electronic accelerator mutagenic breeding techniques” to achieve technological self-reliance in the seed industry. This year, on the eve of the seedling of rice, the institute selected the first generation of soft rice “lynthetic 4” from darren city's seed bank, which was radiation-treated by the sanya electronic accelerator modified laboratory, immediately after the seed was sent back for leaching, pharmaceutical mixing and then into the plastic shed on 28 april. At this moment, the paddy is growing, and it will break out。
The accelerator mutagenic seeding is a combination of mutagenic techniques, genetic measurements and seed-like statistical analysis of rice species, with high-energy electronic beams or x-rays for the radiation processing of breeding materials, resulting in changes in dna structures, changes in mutagenic structures and mutations。

Compared to traditional breeding patterns, these are characterized by high biological effects, wide mutations, high mutation rates, stable mutagenic progeny, and a short selection cycle for new varieties. The radiation mutagenic technique, genetic testing techniques and the integration of plant chemical selection techniques were the first international crop breeding. This is the first major scientific device in our country and in the world for plant mutagenic breeding and was awarded a national patented invention certificate in october 2023。
The "land 4" is the only rice main plant that was pushed by the city of dalian in 2024-2025. “technology is becoming a central force in safeguarding the grain silos of the great powers, with more than 200,000 acres to be distributed throughout the city this year.” the head of the special food institute of dalian city said that in the future, intelligent monitoring would be further integrated with seed industry innovation to provide “hard core” support for national food security。
