Zibima No.2

Zibima No.2 of the Agricultural Science and Research Academy of Zibo City is a middle-late ripe high oil hybrid variety and it is bred from a middle-late ripe high oil group for a female parent with a capsule non thorn type auto gamy group for a male parent.

1. Yield Performance: The yield is 3.75 t./ha.commonly, if in the case of high produce measures, the yield can be more than 4.5 ton /ha.. In 1998, we took part in the whole province new varieties area experiments of castor-oil plant, the average output is 4.347 t. /ha. . Compared with the contrast , the increased production is 31.8%.In 2004, the average yield is 5.399 t./ha. which is the high production demonstration field. On April. 2000, it passed the examination and approval by Crops Breed Examine and Approve Committee of Shandong. In 2001, it passed the examination and approval by Crops Breed Examine and Approve Committee of Ningxia Muslem Municipalities.
