The farming is busy during the Qingming Festival, and all regions seize the farming season.
Nanchang, Jiangxi: Seize the farming season, early rice planting is fully launched
Ever the Qingming solar term, all regions are seizing the farming season to carry out agricultural production, laying the foundation for a bumper harvest of crops in summer and autumn. In the south, early rice production is developing in an orderly manner. This year, Nanchang, Jiangxi Province actively promoted new machinery and new technologies, and the city's 1.965 million mu of early rice planting has been fully carried out.
In Liangmen Village, Changyi Township, Xinjian District, Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, Tao Hailiang, a large grain grower, is busy planting seedlings. In the flat paddy fields, more than 10 high-speed rice transplanters are shuttled back and forth. Wherever the machine passes, tender green seedlings are neatly inserted into the soft soil.

The large grain grower in Changyi Township, Xinjian District, Nanchang, Jiangxi Province Tao Hailiang: With modern agricultural machinery, we not only save time and effort, but also have lower costs than labor, and a bumper harvest is more guaranteed.
Early rice is an important beginning of annual grain production, which is directly related to annual grain production and food security. This year's spring plowing, the Nanchang Municipal Agricultural Department actively promotes new technologies, new varieties and new equipment for grain production, and optimizes guidance and services. This year, Nanchang City has invested 37,800 sets of various agricultural machinery and equipment (sets) in spring farming production.

Se Qiang, Deputy Director of the Agricultural Mechanical and Mechanical Division of the Agricultural Technology Promotion Center of Nanchang Xinjian District, Jiangxi: This year's spring plowing, we have coordinated 25 standardized seedling cultivation centers and 69 agricultural social service organizations in the district to provide one-stop services for farmers to cultivate, plough, transplant, fertilize and spray pesticides.
Shandong: New landscape of science and technology spring irrigation, and drink "smart water" in wheat fields
Winter wheat in many places in the north is now entering a critical period of spring pipelines. As the temperature gradually warms up, more than 60 million mu of wheat in Shandong Province entered the jointing period. In order to ensure the use of water for spring irrigation, various regions continue to invest a series of new irrigation technologies and new equipment.
At present, 155 large and medium-sized irrigation areas in Shandong Province have successively launched spring irrigation, with a total of 2.12 billion cubic meters of water diversion and an irrigation area of 30 million mu, of which 24.5 million mu of wheat fields have been watered. In a wheat field in Wucheng County, Dezhou, a winch sprinkler is working in an orderly manner, and the spray head sprinkles water evenly into the fields, accurately moistening the wheat seedlings.

Sangzhuang Village, Luquantun Town, Wucheng County: After using machinery to irrigate last year, my family's wheat harvested a lot more than the previous year. The key is to save time and effort. The growth of wheat seedlings this year is definitely not bad.
This year, some cooperatives in Wucheng County purchased various high-tech agricultural machinery and equipment, showing off their skills in this year's spring pipes and irrigation.

Wucheng County Taoying Agricultural Machinery Professional Cooperative Chairman Song Shutao: In the long run, due to the reduction of labor costs and waste of water, fertilizers and pesticides, the overall cost has actually been reduced. Moreover, the mechanical operation is better, and the yield and quality of crops are improved.
Lanzhou, Gansu: Promote scale cutting propagation, lily planting improves quality and increases yield
Ear April, as the temperature rises, farmers are busy transplanting lily planting balls in greenhouses at the lily seed breeding base in Qilihe District, Lanzhou, Gansu. In recent years, the local government has continuously explored and used scale cutting propagation technology as a breakthrough to shorten the lily planting cycle from 6 years to 5 years, which has also increased the yield while improving the quality of lily.

Scale cutting technology is to use single-headed or double-headed lily as the parent. Through chemical treatment, drying and other links, the lily scales can be cut into the soil. One scale can grow 2 to 7 smaller species.

Farmer Zhang Tianlin, a farmer in Xiguoyuan Village, Qilihe District, Lanzhou City: What we transplant now is commercial planting balls. After the first fertilization, loosening of soil, and irrigation, digging and transplanting.
In recent years, Lanzhou City has built a lily scale cutting breeding production base, and the total number of small seed balls produced by Lanzhou lily scale cutting propagation is more than 3 million. Using the promotion and application of new technology for fast breeding of lily scale cutting, it has effectively solved the problem of deterioration of the quality of lily scale bulbs and the shortage of high-quality species.
