CCTV News: Farming is busy during the Qingming Festival. Entering the Qingming Festival, all regions are scrambling to carry out agricultural production to lay 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 launched.

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.

Early rice is an important beginning of grain production in one year, 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 invested 37,800 sets of various agricultural machinery and equipment (sets) in spring farming production.

Shandong: New landscape of spring irrigation in science and technology, and drink "smart water" in wheat fields

Winter wheat in many places in the north is now entering a critical period of spring management. 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 to allow wheat fields to drink "smart water".

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 are 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.

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.

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 in Qilihe District, Lanzhou, Gansu. In recent years, through continuous exploration and breakthroughs in scale cutting propagation technology, the lily planting cycle has been shortened from 6 years to 5 years, which has 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.

In recent years, Lanzhou City has built a lily scale cutting breeding production base, and the total number of small seed balls produced in Lanzhou lily scale cutting breeding is more than 3 million. Using the promotion and application of new technology for fast breeding of lily scale cuttings, the problem of deterioration of lily scale bulbs and shortage of high-quality species bulbs has been effectively solved.
