The newly bred sweet potato variety Qin Shu 13 has also shown excellent performance.

Hou Wuzhou is a direct beneficiary of these agricultural achievements. "I've been planting sweet potatoes for over 20 years, and the new varieties from the academy are the most satisfying," he said. "Their taste is great, and the varieties are constantly updated, with yields increasing year by year."

Wang Zhouyu, president of the academy, said, "Our goal is to grow more good crops and bring more smiles to farmers' faces."
