Engineering in Plants In the 1920’s‚ a man named Henry Wallace founded a company called “The Hi-Bred Corn Company.” He began selecting corn plants that flourished in certain aspects and bred them with other prosperous plants to make a hybrid.

This idea of ‘selective breeding’ would go on to become the norm in that era of agriculture because it produced bigger and better plants. Because

Jaw crushing plant is primarily used for reducing various kinds of stones and lump materials into medium-grained gravel. The materials to be crushed can be hard‚ medium-hard and soft minerals which compressive strength should be not more than 320 MPA. Our PE series jaw crusher result in higher crushing efficiency. Currently‚ these products become the preferred jaw crusher machine in the production of stone. They are widely used in many industries‚ such as mining‚ metallurgy‚ building material‚ railway
