The flower industry in Huanglou Street started in the 1980s. Flower cultivation was mainly operated by individual households. The independent innovation ability of seedling research and development was insufficient, mainly relying on foreign imports. New varieties and new technologies independently researched and developed account for a minority.
In order to promote the transformation and upgrading of the flower industry, Huanglou Sub-district adopts a cooperative research and development method of enterprises, experts, and the government, integrates scientific and technological resources, and strengthens key research. The sub-district is actively recruiting talents, colleges and institutes, and has established cooperative relationships with 13 higher scientific research institutions including the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Shandong Academy of Forestry, Beijing Forestry University, etc., to create an integrated platform for R&D and promotion, and establish the first Arrowroot Breeding Center in China, Phalaenopsis Tissue Culture Center, Orchid Breeding Engineering Research Center and other high-tech institutions.
Today, Huanglou has successively developed 16 new flower varieties with independent intellectual property rights such as "Qingzhou Jinfeng", "Yunmensu", "Shuangyi Tonghui", etc., achieving a breakthrough in orchid breeding in Shandong Province.
This year, the Shandong High-end Flower Breeding Technology Industrial Park invested and constructed by Lvsheng Orchid was listed as a provincial key project in 2021. "With the help of scientific research, we want to promote Qingzhou's own Phalaenopsis seedlings across the country," Jia said.
"We adopt the development model of 'grasp the two ends', focusing on improving the quality of flowers on the one hand and expanding the sales method on the other, driving the transformation of the flower planting model in the middle of the chain, and embarking on a path of characteristic flower development." Pang Dezhen, Secretary of the Party Working Committee of Huanglou Sub-district Office Say.
