在中西部的3万英亩土地上进行“短玉米”试验,作为高玉米的一种耐气候的替代作物。 Bayer Crop Science tests "short corn" on 30,000 acres in the Midwest as a climate-resilient alternative to tall corn.

拜耳作物科学公司正在中西部 30,000 英亩的土地上测试“短玉米”，作为传统高玉米的气候适应型替代品。 Bayer Crop Science is testing "short corn" on 30,000 acres in the Midwest as a climate-resilient alternative to traditional tall corn. 这种新品种的承受能力风速高达50米,可进行更密集的种植,这样可以提高农民的利润,减少干旱造成的用水量。 This new variety withstands winds up to 50 mph, allowing for denser planting, which can boost farmer profits and reduce water usage amid drought concerns. 随着美国玉米每年以大约9 000万英亩的面积种植,转而种植短玉米可能会对农业产生重大影响。 With U.S. corn grown on about 90 million acres annually, a shift to short corn could significantly impact agriculture. 生产量将在2027年增加。 Production is set to increase in 2027.
