Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, January 30th. Title: Promote the increase in large-scale yield of grain and oil crops. Why emphasize "large area"?

Xinhua News Agency reporter Gu Yiping

The reporter learned from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs that in 2025, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs will continue to make large-scale yields of grain and oil crops an important task in the "three rural" work, and continue to make efforts to improve the technology in place and equipment matching, and provide solid support for stable grain production and increase production. In promoting work, we will strive to highlight the "large area".

Liu Luxiang, chief scientist of the National Wheat Industry Technology System and secretary of the Party Committee of the Institute of Crop Science, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, told reporters that in recent years, with the support of the national modern agricultural industry technology system, the national joint crop breeding research and major agricultural scientific and technological projects, the creation of high yields of major grain and oil crops has achieved remarkable results, and has appeared for many years with a high yield of 100 mu and 100 mu of slabs.

For example, in 2023, the per mu of the experimental fields in the area of ​​major grain crops such as rice, wheat, and corn in my country have reached 600 kg, 420 kg and 650 kg respectively. However, the per mu of the field production is only 475 kg, 385 kg and 435 kg respectively, and the gap is relatively obvious. It emphasizes that the "large-area" yield improvement aims to strive to convert the display output of the test field into the actual output of the field production.

What are the difficulties in achieving large-scale yields of 100 mu square meters and 100 mu pieces to achieving large-scale yield improvements in grain and oil crops?

Liu Luxiang introduced that the current agricultural field production technology rate in my country is not high, and a pattern of "multi-technology integration and large-scale popularization" has not yet formed a balanced increase in production. Agricultural technology, plant protection, soil and fertilizer and seed links have not yet truly formed a joint force.

How to convert typical yields into large-scale field yields, and radiation drives large-scale balanced increase in grain and oil crops? Liu Luxiang said that we should make every effort to promote the integration of fertile fields, good seeds, good methods and opportunities according to local crops, promote yield improvement, strengthen the guidance of agricultural science and technology personnel to various new business entities such as large growers, promote comprehensive scientific and technological solutions to fields and households, improve the technology in place, and drive large-scale balanced production and income growth.

The reporter learned that the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs established the large-scale yield improvement of grain and oil crops in the entire township, county and city as the main focus, and will guide all localities to adhere to goal-oriented and problem-oriented approaches, refine plans, clarify paths, and promote the improvement of whole-built yield based on various engineering projects.

In addition, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs will also play the role of various new business entities, guide farmers' cooperatives, family farms, and social service organizations, take the lead in using new varieties, new technologies and new equipment that can increase yields, and take the lead in providing small farmers with custody services to increase yields, not only to increase the main yields, but also to increase the yields of small farmers, truly achieving large-scale yields.
