CCTV News: At present, spring plowing and spring sowing in my country is fully carried out from south to north. As one of the main producing areas of early rice in my country, what new measures will Guangdong take in rice yield this year? Let’s take a look at the reporter’s observation of spring farming.

Taishan, Guangdong is one of the counties in the country to promote the overall system of rice yield improvement this year. Early in the morning, the reporter followed experts from the Guangdong Academy of Agricultural Sciences to Taishan. In the paddy fields of Haiyan Town, Taishan, Guangdong, farmers are driving agricultural machinery to plant rice. The spacing of each rice plant is 16 cm, while the spacing of each rice plant in the past is 20-22 cm. Through reasonable dense planting technology, the spacing of rice has been shortened, and the yield per mu of rice is expected to increase by about 10%.

Rational dense planting technology is one of the important measures for rice yield. Last year, the Guangdong Academy of Agricultural Sciences conducted reasonable dense planting experiments in Huizhou, Zhongshan and other places, with the highest increase in yields reaching 28%. This year, the province decided to promote the technology in the experimental field to the field on a large scale, but it was not smooth.

Rongfu, senior agronomist at the Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Jiangmen City, Guangdong Province, said: "Many small plots in hilly areas cannot be mechanized. The weakest part was the machine transplanting process. The proportion of machine transplanting process has now reached about 80%. We must strive to achieve the machine transplanting process to more than 90%. "

During the interview, the reporter learned that although the production increase in experimental fields is obvious, many fields have gaps in quality, management ability, farming level, etc. After large-scale promotion of dense rice planting, everyone has no idea whether it will be "unacceptable to the environment" when encountering the impact of summer typhoons and rainfall. In addition, what farmers are most concerned about is the "economic account".

In order to dispel farmers' worries, the local government subsidizes farmers who carry out reasonable dense planting at a price of 150 yuan per mu, and organizes experts to actively provide assistance and guidance. Up to now, Taishan has promoted the reasonable dense rice planting technology on 10,000 mu of paddy fields in ten towns, and has gradually expanded the reasonable dense planting area through pilot promotion, so that more farmers can accept this technology.

Guangdong: Intelligent seedling cultivation is about one week shorter than field seedling cultivation

Promoting reasonable dense rice planting technology requires a large number of high-quality seedlings with lodging resistance and strong disease resistance. Therefore, it has also brought new challenges to rice seed selection and seedling cultivation. Let's continue to look at the reporter's research.

In Duhu Town, Taishan, the reporter noticed that many trucks transporting seedlings were driving in the fields. During the interview, the reporter learned that the town has established a new intelligent seedling cultivation factory this year, which gives farmers in surrounding areas more efficient seedling cultivation options.

In this intelligent seedling cultivation factory, the production line is developing at full capacity to cultivate rice seedlings. Through automatic circulation from bottom to top, rice seedlings are concentratedly sprayed with moisture and fertilizer and obtain sufficient light. With the help of intelligent seedling cultivation equipment, not only saves land resources, but also reduces the time by about a week compared to field seedling cultivation.

In order to seize the farming season, the factory has received a large number of orders since its trial operation in February. Since the production line still needs to be improved, the factory can only overcome difficulties and first accept part of the orders, and improve the factory's seedling cultivation capacity as soon as possible.

In order to breed better rice varieties, experts told reporters that every year they will improve on the existing rice to allow farmers to plant better varieties.

The "one picture" of spring farming to grasp the implementation of yield improvement

This year, Guangdong issued funds in advance to support 32 counties in the province to carry out reasonable rice planting and yield placing projects. So, how can these projects be implemented in place?

In the Guangdong Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the reporter saw that staff were busy collecting and summarizing the spring plowing situation in various cities and counties, and drew reasonable dense planting tasks and technical measures into a "one map" to fully grasp the implementation of grain yield improvement.

In order to better serve the needs of farmers, Guangdong has dispatched two to three agricultural technical commissioners in more than 1,100 agricultural towns, and has driven large-scale planting entities to use reasonable dense planting technology and high-yield and high-quality grain varieties through financial subsidies.

As of now, the sowing and transplanting of grain crops in Guangdong has reached 1.6 million mu, and the progress of early rice seedling cultivation has exceeded 80%, which is faster than last year. In order to ensure the smooth progress of spring farming, Guangdong has pushed all the 450,000 mu of green manure crops planted during the winter period to return them to the fields to improve the farmland's fertility.
