CCTV News: Farming is busy in the beginning of summer. In order to make full use of the idle winter fields and open up new ways to increase production and income, in recent years, Hechi, Guangxi has begun to try to grow winter wheat. At present, a variety of winter wheat trial-planted in some areas have entered the harvesting period one after another.

In a 1,800-acre wheat field in Fengshan County, Hechi City, the wheat tried to plant here has matured, and the heavy ears bent the wheat straw. The harvester is shuttled through the wheat fields and speeded up the harvesting operations.

After the rice is harvested in some areas of Hechi, land is idle. Therefore, starting from 2024, local wheat varieties will be distributed free of charge to growers in multiple different climate regions to carry out trial planting, and 14 wheat varieties will be planted in each region.

Because the high humidity in the south is high, wheat is susceptible to pests and diseases. If you try to see different varieties, you can observe its disease resistance and yield. After production measurement and evaluation, high-yield wheat varieties and supporting cultivation technologies suitable for local cultivation are screened out, and the best machine harvest and planting plans for the next year are formulated to improve land utilization and help farmers increase their production and income. 300,000 mu of rapeseed are welcomed, and mechanical harvesting is cost-effective and efficiency is increased. In Xiaochang County, Xiaogan City, Hubei Province, more than 300,000 mu of rapeseed are now entering the harvest period one after another. Farmers are scrambling to speed up harvesting during the farming season and sharing the joy of a bumper harvest.

In the thousand-acre rape field in Huaxi Township, Xiaochang County, Xiaogan City, the full-grained rape pods bent their stems. Modern harvesters are busy working in the fields, rows of rapeseed are wrapped in machinery, golden rapeseed is returned to the warehouse, and the crushed straw is returned to the field on site, saving time and effort.

Gao Wenwen, a large grain grower, planted more than 1,500 acres of rapeseed in 2025. With the help of a new harvester, 80 acres of rapeseed can be harvested every day. After the harvest is over, another crop of rice can be planted immediately.

In order to ensure the smooth progress of rape harvesting, the local government organized more than 2,100 agricultural machinery (sets) and devoted all efforts to summer harvest and summer seed production. At the same time, we actively promote green production methods such as straw return to the fields to achieve sustainable development of agriculture. 75,000 mu of pepper seedlings have entered the transplanting stage. The area of ​​new varieties is more than half. Shiqian County is a large pepper planting county in Guizhou Province. Entering the Beginning of Summer, the 75,000 mu of peppers here have reached the transplanting stage. More than half of the area has planted new varieties in 2025. Experts from Guizhou Academy of Agricultural Sciences went deep into the fields to provide technical tracking services.

Since 2024, the Guizhou Academy of Agricultural Sciences has conducted a local evaluation of pepper varieties and selected this new variety planted in 2025. Since it is the first large-scale planting, in order to ensure the smooth progress of transplanting work, agricultural technicians came to various pepper planting bases to carry out tracking services, laying land, ridges, making nests, laying seedlings, and covering soil. Each process must comply with technical specifications.

The pepper planting area in Shiqian County has been stable at 75,000 mu for all year round, and there are 43,000 mu of new varieties in 2025. According to the test yield data of the trial seed, the yield per mu is about 2,900 kilograms, which is more than 10% higher than the local traditional varieties. In addition to improving varieties, the local area also actively promotes organizational forms such as "company + cooperative + large households" and develops order agriculture. At present, more than 18,000 households have participated in the planting. "Smart greenhouse" makes agricultural production "intelligent" and "quality"

At present, it is a critical period for field management. Supervision does not require people, work depends on mobile phones, and greenhouse competition factories. In a flower base in Niuzhuang Town, Dongying, Shandong, the greenhouses show the hard-core "technology style".

In this flower base, on the seedling bed, anthracite flowers bloom; under the seedling bed, the water flows up and down regularly in the pallet. This is a "tidal irrigation system" that can achieve precise regulation of water and fertilizer, allowing flowers to "drink water" and "eat" according to their own needs. Staff open the smart agriculture digital management software on their mobile phones to check the situation of the greenhouse.

Jiang Bingfeng, production manager of a flower company, introduced that real-time data can be seen from mobile phones. According to the limited numerical requirements, workers can adjust the most favorable growth conditions for crops with a light click, and achieve accurate control of the entire process of the environment and water and fertilizer. It not only saves time and effort, but also effectively solves the problem of "relying on the weather to make a living". Which crops are "thirsty" and "fearing from heat" are clear at a glance.

The person in charge of the base introduced that the "smart greenhouse" not only supports the "tidal irrigation + fertilizer and water recovery" system, increasing the utilization rate of water and fertilizer to more than 95%, but also equipped with modern equipment such as spray drip irrigation, internal and external sunshade to provide a suitable natural environment for flower growth. At present, the 20 greenhouses in the entire base have achieved digitalization of planting and management.
