CCTV News: Summer oil crops refer to oil crops harvested in summer. Now, there is still about a week before the large-scale harvest of summer oil crops - winter rapeseed. In 2025, the area of winter rapeseed in my country was 110 million mu, an increase of 7 consecutive years. At the same time, the climate is generally suitable and the growth is good, and summer oil crops are in sight.
Jiangxi is an important area for rapeseed cultivation in my country. At present, more than 9 million acres of rapeseed in the province have gradually entered the harvest of sickle. In 2025, Jiangxi will increase the planting of early-ripe rape demonstration varieties.
At the Thousand-Acre Rapeseed Demonstration Base in Suichuan County, the Institute of Oil and Materials of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences is organizing experts to conduct actual harvesting and measurement of early-mature rapeseed variety "Central Oil Early No. 1". The average yield per mu in the demonstration area reached 177.65 kilograms, setting a new record of rapeseed yield under the "rice-rice-oil" three-ripe planting model in my country.
"Rice-rice-oil" refers to the rotation of three crops of early rice, late rice and rapeseed in a year. It is an important way for southern regions such as Jiangxi to use winter idle fields to increase the supply of oil crops. Therefore, the variety is the key to how to achieve the calm connection between rapeseed and rice on the basis of ensuring the double-season rice planting.
Du Dezhi, a job scientist at the National Rapeseed Industry Technology System, introduced that in the three-ripe areas, late rice will only be harvested in late October, and early rice will need to be planted around April 20, and it will only be 180 days. Therefore, short-term breeding varieties must meet this time requirements.
At present, the "rapeseed-rice" crop rotation model has been widely promoted in the southern regions. Anren County, Hunan Province is located in a hilly area with fragmented plots. By adapting early-mature rapeseed varieties with machine-harvested technology, the utilization rate of winter idle fields has increased to more than 90%.
Long Jun, a large grain grower in Anren County, Chenzhou City, Hunan Province, introduced that after the rapeseed is harvested, early rice was planted manually, and now the machine can plant 30 mu a day, which has increased by nearly 30 times. Rape straw is returned to the field to replace fertilizers, and the per mu of early rice is expected to increase by 2%.
The agricultural situation dispatch of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs shows that the climate conditions in the main winter rapeseed production areas in my country are generally favorable in the winter of 2024 and spring 2025. In addition, the technical induction rate of production increase measures is high, and the growth of rapeseed is the best in recent years, and a bumper harvest is in sight.
