CCTV News (News Network): At present, winter wheat has entered the rebirth period one after another, and early rice in the south has entered the seedling cultivation period. All regions rely on new technologies and new equipment to help field management and consolidate the foundation for high-quality summer grain production.
The 85 million mu of wheat in Henan have gradually returned from south to north, which is a critical period for wheat to promote weakness and strength. In Anyang Hua County, the reporter saw a large-scale translating sprinkler irrigation machine operating to replenish water and fertilizer for wheat fields and prevent and control pests and weeds.
Laying a good foundation for a bumper harvest, Henan Province sent 18 wheat expert guidance groups to work with agricultural technicians from all over the country to guide farmers to use scientific and technological means to control prosperity, prevent drought, and prevent diseases and weeding. At present, the first and second-class seedlings in the province account for 87% of the wheat overwintering period, which is better than the same period in the previous year. More than 33 million mu of winter wheat in Hebei have fully launched spring irrigation. The local government has stepped up efforts to promote a variety of integrated water and fertilizer irrigation models such as micro-irrigation and vertical sprinkler irrigation, which not only saves water and fertilizer, but also accurately and efficiently.
This spring management, more than 1.5 million mu of wheat in Taihe County, Anhui Province have a "smart brain". Relying on the Internet of Things monitoring platform built by the county, farmers can grasp the wheat field seedling conditions, soil moisture conditions, pests and diseases by just turning on their mobile phones. Once there is an early warning, they will immediately transfer unmanned plant protection machines, self-propelled sprayers, etc. to operate. In the East China Sea of Jiangsu, satellite remote sensing technology is used to monitor wheat growth in real time remotely to help farmers manage the field efficiently.
The southern early rice seedling cultivation is busy. Guangxi, Chongqing and other places promote seedling cultivation in factories according to local conditions to provide seedling support for rice planting. In this modern seedling cultivation center in Yangjiang, Guangdong, the production line integrates functions such as automatic partitioning and soil laying, and can also automatically adjust the seedling volume. The seedlings bred are neat and have a high germination rate. In the intelligent seedling cultivation workshop in Zhongxiang, Hubei, three fully automatic seedling assembly lines operate at a high speed. After the processes of soil sprinkling, sowing, watering, and covering the soil, standardized seedling cultivation trays are completed at a speed of 40 plates per minute, and the production efficiency is three times that of the ordinary assembly line seedling cultivation capacity. According to reports, the planting area of early rice in Hubei this year is expected to be more than 1.9 million mu, of which more than two-thirds are seedling cultivation and planting.
