CCTV News (News Network): All localities seize the farming season, do a good job in spring field management, and consolidate the foundation for stable wheat production. The current winter wheat seedlings in various places are better than usual.
After the beginning of spring, 85 million mu of winter wheat in Henan entered the rebirth period from south to north, which is also a critical period for the peak demand for water and fertilizer and the formation of output. The 18 wheat expert guidance groups in the province, together with agricultural technicians from all over the country, went deep into the fields to "consult and take pulses" and accurately prescribed "growth prescriptions" for wheat through the classified management model of "weak seedlings replenish fertilizer and strong seedlings to control growth" to ensure stable production and increase income of summer grain. At present, the first and second-class wheat seedlings in the province account for 87% during the wintering period, which is better than the same period in the previous year.
More than 43 million mu of wheat in Anhui are growing well. At the wheat planting base in Xiyang Town, Bozhou, the wheat greening top dressing machine shuttles back and forth to carry out fertilization operations; in the air, the Beidou plant protection drone sprays pesticides according to the set route, saving time, effort and efficiency.
Every localities in Hebei have escorted the increase in wheat production and income by promoting new water-saving irrigation technologies and other measures. In Feixiang District, Handan City, the reporter saw that micro-spray irrigation pipelines were distributed among the ridges of the field, just like laying "blood vessels" for wheat fields, accurately conveying water and fertilizer to the green winter wheat. Micro-spray irrigation like this costs only about half of the previous flooding. The local area has also formed a team of science and technology commissioners and party member volunteers, divided the areas to maintain and repair spring irrigation equipment, and carried out technical services. In response to the insufficient wheat soil moisture in some areas, Jiangsu formulated technical opinions on field management. Agricultural experts and agricultural technicians went to the fields to guide farmers to replenish water and improve moisture, replenish fertilizer due to seedlings, and promote weakening and strengthening, and the seedling situation continued to improve. At the same time, Jiangsu has issued 19 grain and oil production support policies to ensure the orderly progress of spring agricultural production.
