There are two research directions of forage breeding and ecological application, aiming at safety and efficiency, ecological cycle and green development. The team carries out research on key technologies about forage germplasm innovation, forage breeding and livestock raising, soil improvement and ecological restoration and utilization. The team also carried out technical integration and demonstration and promotion. The research of forage breeding includes the breeding of new forage varieties, collection, evaluation and preservation of germplasm resources, research of forage breeding technology; the ecological application research includes high quality and high efficient forage cultivation techniques and ecological applications.
