Development Strategy of Internet Plus Modern Seed Industry

Abstract

The seed industry is the chip of agriculture and seed industry modernization is a significant symbol for agricultural modernization. Internet Plus Modern Seed Industry is an important application scenario of modern agriculture and a concentrated embodiment of scientific and technological innovation in the seed industry. Based on the concept definition and main characteristics of Internet Plus Modern Seed Industry and using field investigation and expert consultation, this study analyzes the characteristics, supporting technologies, and typical applications of application scenarios for different subjects such as government departments, scientific research institutions, and breeding bases. The challenges and demand for the infrastructure, data sharing, key technologies, and commercialization system of the Internet Plus Modern Seed Industry in China are analyzed. Additionally, we propose the development strategy, technical roadmap, and major demonstration projects, to provide a scientific reference for the development of modern seed industry. Specifically, major demonstration projects are urgently required for big data platforms for germplasm resources, new infrastructure for Internet Plus Modern Seed Industry bases, Internet Plus Modern Seed Industry data sharing platforms, and big data intelligent services for the seed industry. Moreover, the intelligent equipment research, development, and manufacturing industry as well as the commercialized breeding software industry should be encouraged to comprehensively promote the intelligent development of modern seed industry.
