CCTV News: Rice in Jiangxi is now entering the tillering bond period one after another. In Quannan, Jiangxi, agricultural technicians and growers seize the farming season and use intelligent drones to carry out efficient fertilization operations, laying a solid foundation for a bumper grain yield in 2025.

In the rice fields of Longyuanba Village, Longyuanba Town, Quannan County, Jiangxi Province, two plant protection drones flew at a constant speed above the continuous rice fields, and atomizing fertilizers were evenly sown. Agricultural technicians hold a display screen, monitor the operation trajectory, and view data such as fertilizer application, flight altitude, etc.

At present, the new stems that tilt out of the roots of rice seedlings are clearly visible. According to the person in charge of the base, the tillering stage of rice is a key growth stage from transplantation to the differentiation of young ears. During this period, top dressing can promote early growth and rapid growth of tillers, increase effective ears, and lay a good foundation for a bumper harvest. Spray prevention operations rush the farming season, scientific protection and bumper harvest

The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs dispatched that at present, winter wheat, the main crop of grain and oil in summer, has entered a grouting period, and summer grain has entered a critical period of production formation. Now, it is also the peak period for diseases and pests. In Hejin City, Shanxi, the local area seized the sunny weather and carried out spray prevention operations, helping more than 240,000 acres of wheat to grow healthily, and ensuring high yields and increased income in summer grain.

Early in the morning, in the wheat field in Lianbo Village, Hejin City, the pilots got busy, put the mixture into the unmanned plant protection machine, and started spraying and prevention operations.

After wheat enters the flowering and grouting period, in addition to sufficient moisture, it is necessary to prevent the occurrence of pests and diseases such as strip rust and gibberellosis. To this end, the local area has set up a special working team to uniformly allocate drones and unify operating standards to efficiently promote the "one spray and three prevention" operations. At the same time, real-time monitoring of the height, speed, line spacing and other data of the unmanned plant protection machine.

At present, a total of 110 unmanned plant protection machines in Hejin City carry out flight defense operations, and it is estimated that the prevention and control of more than 240,000 acres of wheat can be completed in 7 days. The new plastic film degradation cycle is short. The "gantry crane" is more efficient in transporting seedlings

The farming is busy during the beginning of summer. In Hai'an City, Jiangsu Province, the local area has strengthened the promotion and application of agricultural scientific and technological achievements such as new agricultural supplies and new equipment to make farming more environmentally friendly and efficient.

In this farm in Qutang Town, Hai'an City, the top film has been unveiled. The corn plant is growing vigorously and will be available in about 10 days.

The person in charge introduced that when planting corn, they generally use the method of covering the mulch to provide more suitable conditions for corn growth. In 2025, they used all biodegradable plastic film when coating. This kind of plastic film uses bio-based materials such as corn stalks, which can not only achieve the effect of insulation and water retention, but also provide a good growth environment for the plants. Its degradation cycle is generally between 3 and 4 months.

At the same time, the preparations for rice seedling cultivation are also underway. In this farm in Hai'an, a tall "gantry crane" seedling transportation system has been installed. This system is more than 6 meters high and has a width of more than 40 meters. It can operate in the fields through four railway tracks that are more than 400 meters long, so it can realize the mechanized operation of transporting seedlings into the field and lifting seedlings out of the field.

The farm leader introduced that they will start indoor seedling cultivation around May 15, and after 3 to 6 days of darkening and germination, the seedling cultivation tray can be placed in the seedling pond through this seedling transportation system. In late June, seedlings can be planted in paddy fields for planting.
