CCTV News: May 5th ushers in the beginning of summer. After the beginning of summer, the temperature rises and the rain increases significantly. The seeds of crops sown in spring also emerge one after another at this season. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs' Agricultural Situation Dispatch shows that the national spring sowing has reached its peak. At present, nearly 100 million mu of spring sowing grain has been reached in the Northeast, reaching more than 20%. Winter wheat, the main crop of summer grain and oil, has now entered the grouting period, and summer grain has entered a critical period of production formation. The winter rapeseed in the upper and middle reaches of the Yangtze River has now been harvested on a large scale. This year, the national winter rapeseed area has increased steadily, reaching 110 million mu, and a bumper harvest is in sight.

Xinyu, Jiangxi: Waspital fields are busy, drone top dressing is used to ensure stable production

Recently, the planting task of more than 530,000 acres of early rice in Xinyu, Jiangxi has been completed. Growers and various bases are launching the first round of field management operations, including top dressing and insect situation monitoring, to ensure the completion of the first round of field management in early May.

In Nan'an Township, Yushui District, Xinyu City, a large grain grower Gong Lingbao dispatched 3 drones through the agricultural machinery service platform to top-dress more than 1,300 acres of rice in his home.

The drone operator Gong Xin, who took the order, is a new farmer born in the 2000s. He is about to graduate from university in July this year. During his time at school, Gong Xin studied computer application technology major. In his spare time, he taught himself agricultural knowledge and participated in drone operator training. In the last semester of university, he came to the agricultural machinery cooperative in Nan'an Township for an internship and decided to take root in the countryside. Nan'an Township is one of the main grain-producing areas in Xinyu City, with fertile land and convenient irrigation. Locally integrate agricultural machinery resources such as drones to form a linkage mechanism to provide efficient mechanized operating conditions for rice field management.

This year, the early rice planting area in Xinyu City reached 533,000 mu. At present, various places are stepping up operations to ensure that the first round of field management is completed in early May.

Dezhou, Shandong: 80,000 mu of cotton are sown one after another

At present, 80,000 mu of cotton are sown one after another in Xiajin County, Dezhou, Shandong. Cotton farmers seize the sunny weather and strive to sow early and emerge early, laying a solid foundation for a bumper cotton yield and harvest.

In the thousand-acre high-standard cotton field in Xinshengdian Town, Xiajin County, multiple seeders shuttle through the fields, and the sowing, fertilization, coating and other processes were completed in one go. It is understood that Xiajin County adopts an order-based planting model, and from sowing to acquisition is managed by the cooperative, which reduces the cost of planting. In addition, cotton planting also enjoys state subsidies, ensuring farmers' income.

This year, Xiajin County has reached 80,000 mu of cotton planting area. Xiajin County has also leveraged the advantages of a national-level cotton seed-making county and built 5 cotton seed breeding bases with high standards. At present, the total scale of seed production has reached 20,000 mu, the total output of seedlings has reached 3 million kilograms, the planting area has reached 2 million mu, and the output value of the cotton seed industry has reached 400 million.

Taonan, Jilin: Seed-making corn begins sowing, new models help farmers increase their income

Recently, as the temperature gradually warms up, Taonan City, Jilin Province has entered the season of corn planting. Among them, seed-making corn, as a corn variety produced by seeds, has also begun to be sown on a large scale.

In a seed-making corn field in Cheli Township, Taonan City, multiple integrated seeds are sowing seeds in an orderly manner along the preset trajectory. It is understood that this seeder combines multiple functions, integrating navigation, trenching, sowing, fertilization and coating. The machine can complete each process efficiently and accurately.

In addition to the help of seeds, the local area is also actively promoting new planting models, such as the "small ridge double-row, sub-membrane drip irrigation, and integrated water and fertilizer". Growers use land resources by narrowing the traditional ridge distance and planting double-row corn on a single ridge. Under-film drip irrigation and integration of water and fertilizer can effectively control weeds and retain moisture and fertilizer.

At present, 28,000 mu of corn farming in Taonan City adopt this cultivation model. In addition, the local area also implements the "company + cooperative + farmer" business model. The company provides high-quality seeds to the cooperative and provides supporting technical services. It participates in the planting of seed-making corn throughout the process, and signs a purchase contract with the cooperative, so that the growers can take a "peace of mind" and increase their income.

Heilongjiang: Agricultural machinery is busy, and dryland crops are sown about 28 million mu.

During this period, many places in Heilongjiang seized the favorable opportunity of rising temperatures and sunny weather, and carried out comprehensive work on seedling cultivation, field sowing, etc., and the vast fields are full of busy scenes. As of May 4, the sowing of corn, soybean and other dry land crops in Heilongjiang Province has completed nearly 28 million mu.

In a farmland in Nenjiang City, large agricultural machinery is conducting precise corn sowing operations. While sowing, fertilization, soil covering and other processes are also completed simultaneously. This "seeding fertilizers in the same machine" operation method improves sowing efficiency. In the farmland of Daxijiang Farm in Beidahuang Group, many agricultural machinery are carrying out sowing, suppressing, fertilizing and other work of soybeans. By adjusting the sowing distance, the distribution of plants is more reasonable. In the intelligent seedling cultivation base of Qixing Farm of Beidahuang Group, Jiamusi City, the inspection robot carefully "caresponsible" the healthy growth of rice "baby". Growers only need to click on their mobile phones to "pattern patrol the fields" of the seedling shed two kilometers away.

The reporter learned from the Heilongjiang Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs that since the field sowing work was launched, as of May 4, the sowing of corn, soybean and other dry fields crops in Heilongjiang Province has completed nearly 28 million mu.
