Guangdong: Intensify efforts to promote rice mechanization

This year, Guangdong Province will continue to intensify efforts to promote the mechanization technology of rice seedling transplanting, and accelerate the development of facility agricultural equipment to promote the comprehensive development of agricultural mechanization in the province.

Since 2010, the mechanization of rice transplanting in Guangdong Province has taken a big step forward. The pace of construction of the county has been accelerated, and the laying area has increased. On the basis of the construction of 20 mechanized demonstration counties for rice transplanting, the agriculture of Guangdong Province The machinery promotion station selected 10 out of 40 grain-producing counties as the second batch of mechanized demonstration counties for rice transplanting and transplanting in the whole province, and deepened the development results of rice transplanting. The first “Agricultural Machinery Promotion Cup” rice cultivating skill competition held on the eve of the spring ploughing in the beginning of the year set off a wave of rice machine insertion promotion in the province, and the development of rice transplanting technology was rapid. While “the rice is on the steps, the characteristics are first-class”, while promoting the mechanized development of rice breeding and transplanting, the provincial agricultural machinery promotion station has carried out work in all parts of the province to speed up the development of agricultural equipment in the facility and focus on improving the level of agricultural mechanization in Guangdong.

Machine insertion skill competition pick up machine insertion promotion boom

In order to further standardize the technical regulations of Daejeon breeding, the basics of transplanting the machine, the backbone of the medium layer and the strengthening of experience and interaction, further stimulate the enthusiasm of the majority of grain growers, agricultural machinery professional households and agricultural professional cooperatives to develop rice transplanting, and promote rice transplanting in Guangdong Province. Rapid development, on the eve of spring ploughing in 2010, Guangdong Agricultural Machinery Promotion Station held the first “Agricultural Machinery Promotion Cup” rice machine transplanting skill competition in Taishan, Jiangmen City. 78 players from 18 prefecture-level cities across the province participated in the competition. The contest set up the Daejeon Nursery Theory Examination, the breeding, the transplanter maintenance and field operations, and produced 35 winners, including 4 first prizes, 8 second prizes, 14 third prizes, and 9 awards. name.

The competition was a complete success and achieved the expected results. The contestants are highly representative and have a high level of skill. The 78 contestants of this competition came from 18 prefecture-level cities in the province, all of which were large grain growers with large household registration in Guangdong Province, large agricultural machinery majors, and members of agricultural machinery social service organizations. These players have been trained and selected by various counties and cities. They have good theoretical knowledge of transplanting and transplanting, high level of rice transplanter operation and maintenance skills. They are the main technical force for promoting rice transplanting technology in Guangdong Province.

The content of the game is comprehensive and competitive. In order to comprehensively assess the players' understanding and understanding of rice transplanting technology, the competition will be used to further enhance the participants' ability to apply rice transplanting technology. The competition is divided into four parts: machine insertion basic knowledge test, Daejeon nursery practice, rice transplanter operation and maintenance, and transplanter field operation competition. Each link adheres to the principle of “practical”, and the content of the competition is necessary for daily production. Problems encountered or encountered frequently. Daejeon nursery practice mainly assesses the operation of the Datian silt breeding technology. Each contestant requires the production of a standard trampoline in Daejeon within the specified time, and the operation of tiling, pulping, and germination. The use and maintenance of the rice transplanter mainly assesses the precautions and maintenance contents of the use of the rice transplanter. The player must complete the process of loading and unloading a twisting machine and adjust the relevant parameters within the specified time. The rice transplanter field operation competition mainly evaluates the ability of the player to drive the rice transplanter for transplanting.

This skill competition has received positive response from domestic and foreign rice transplanting machine manufacturers. Jingguan, Kubota, Datong, Yanmar, Bilang, Dongyang, Fulaiwei, Changfa, Xieli, Xiaojing, a total of 10 transplanter manufacturers and Guangzhou Kexin, Shantou and Shengli produced a generous commitment by the two companies to give the winners in the competition a “purchase (selling) offer” reward, that is, the winners are in the process of purchasing the transplanter (snap) subsidy procedures, enjoy After the state and Guangdong Province have subsidized the farmers' purchase of the rice transplanter (snap tray), the transplanter can be obtained free of charge (the tray), and the rest will be given to the winners by the rice transplanter (selling tray) manufacturer that provides the prize. The competition rewarded 35 different rice transplanters of different brands and models, and more than 60,000 soft and hard twisted discs. The winning rate was close to 45%, and the total prize value exceeded 1 million yuan.

Driven by the demonstration of the “Agricultural Machinery Promotion Cup” rice machine transplanting skill competition, all cities and counties in the province seized the favorable opportunity of spring ploughing and further strengthened the training and promotion of rice transplanting technology. According to incomplete statistics, as of March 30, 2010, more than 50 live demonstrations of rice transplanting have been held in all cities and counties of the province. Almost every prefecture-level city has held more than one municipal-level machine transplanting site meeting. Most of the live demonstrations took the form of “training + live demonstration”, focusing on technical training for large grain growers, agricultural machinery professional households, and agricultural machinery professional cooperative members. Combined with on-site demonstrations, the combination of theory and practice, agricultural machinery and agronomy The combination of technology has further deepened the students' understanding and perceptual understanding of technology, and has trained one and succeeded one to drive the effect. Among them, Zhuhai City held a municipal-level machine transplanting skill competition, which was highly valued by the municipal government; Jiangmen City used the favorable conditions for the launching ceremony of the province's “agricultural machinery to promote spring farming” in Taishan City under its jurisdiction, and launched various counties and districts to promote it. Machine plugging technology, so far, the city has held a total of 14 types of machine plug-in live demonstrations and machine transplanting technical training classes, and has implemented or intentionally purchased about 125 transplanting machines, continuing to maintain the momentum of rapid development of machine insertion technology.

Rebuild 10 demonstration counties to deepen development results

In the past two years, the mechanization of rice transplanting in Guangdong Province has developed rapidly. In 2008, the construction of 20 rice transplanting mechanized demonstration counties in the province was significantly improved. The comprehensive mechanization level of farming and harvest increased by 4.8% per year. The magnitude is higher than the national average growth rate, reaching 46% in 2009. According to the demonstration effect of the first batch of demonstration counties, with the approval of the leaders of the Department of Agriculture of Guangdong Province, in 2010, the provincial agricultural machinery promotion station was based on the first batch of 20 rice transplanting mechanized demonstration counties, from 40 grain-producing large Ten counties were selected as the second batch of mechanized demonstration counties for rice transplanting and transplanting in the province, bringing the total number of mechanized demonstration counties in the province to 30.

In order to deepen the results and promote the rapid development of rice transplanting in the province, the Provincial Agricultural Machinery Promotion Station held the “Working Symposium on the Second Batch of Rice Cultivation and Mechanization Demonstration Counties in Guangzhou” at the end of March 2010 in Guangzhou. The tenth batch of the second batch of rice cultivating and mechanized demonstration county agricultural machinery (agriculture) director of the province attended the meeting. The meeting carefully analyzed and exchanged the preliminary basis, favorable conditions and existing problems of rice transplanting in various counties, and arranged the tasks and related requirements of the second batch of rice transplanting mechanized demonstration counties.

After the spring ploughing, in order to understand the mechanized advancement of the pupa in the first half of the year, and to find out the existing problems, the provincial agricultural machinery promotion station timely learned the tracking statistics of the machine transplanting situation in the first half of the year. At the same time, the leaders of the three stations personally led the team to supervise and investigate the mechanized demonstration counties of rice transplanting and cultivating in the areas of Yuedong, Yuexi, Meizhou and Heyuan.

Through the above measures, the mechanization of rice transplanting in Guangdong Province has developed rapidly. So far, the province has added 706 transplanting machines this year, and the area of ​​early rice transplanting is 420,000 mu. The number of new rice transplanters is equivalent to the new quantity added last year.

Organizing water-saving irrigation seminars to promote facility agriculture development

“The rice is on the steps, the characteristics are first-class”. In line with this goal, the Guangdong Agricultural Machinery Promotion Station not only pays attention to the development of rice transplanting mechanization, but also focuses on improving the level of agricultural mechanization in Guangdong. It was in Xuwen County, Zhanjiang City in April 2010. The “Water Saving Irrigation Mechanization Technology Promotion Seminar” was held to promote the development of facility agriculture in the province. More than 150 people from the heads of agricultural machinery management and promotion departments of Zhanjiang, Maoming, Zhaoqing and Yunfu, and representatives of large crops, agricultural machinery cooperatives, agricultural leading enterprises and water-saving irrigation equipment manufacturers of vegetables, bananas and citrus The meeting.

At the meeting, Xuwen County Agricultural Machinery Bureau gave a typical experience to the conference. Xuwen is located at the southernmost tip of the mainland of the motherland. It is a natural treasure for the development of tropical economic crops. The planting area, output and total output value of sugar cane, banana, sisal, pineapple, off-season vegetables and sweet corn rank among the top in the country. However, Xu Wensu has been suffering from drought for ten years, with little annual precipitation and uneven distribution; regional and seasonal droughts are common; surface water is small, and groundwater cannot be over-utilized. Therefore, in recent years, Xu Wen vigorously introduced the promotion of water-saving irrigation mechanization technology, and built a three-dimensional water-saving agricultural model based on three modes: underground, surface contact and micro-spray irrigation, forming eastern sugar cane and pineapple, central Four water-saving agricultural demonstration bases for bananas, western vegetables, northern sisal and flowers.

Participants visited the banana, aloe plantation of Xuwen Luyuan Agricultural Company and the application of the drip irrigation mechanization technology of watermelon, sweet corn and vegetable plantation of Xuwen Modern Agriculture Irrigation Development Company. The meeting also invited experts such as the inventor of the drip irrigation technology and the global facility agricultural equipment leader, Mr. Neil, the chief engineer of Israel Netafim, to introduce the development of water-saving irrigation agriculture in Israel, and to modern water-saving irrigation. Mechanized technology for special explanation.

Through the on-site promotion meeting, the delegates really felt the benefits of water-saving irrigation mechanization technology: improving water utilization rate, using drip irrigation technology, the water utilization coefficient can be as high as 0.95, effectively improving the ability to resist drought and develop modern agriculture in water-deficient areas. To increase labor productivity, the labor input of traditional agricultural irrigation accounts for more than 50% of the labor input in the whole agricultural production process. For example, a 200-acre banana garden needs to hire more than 30 irrigation workers for irrigating and fertilizing, and only 1~ using water-saving irrigation mechanization. 2 people can complete irrigation; improve crop yield and quality, apply drip irrigation technology, planting powder banana can increase production by about 20%; help protect ecological environment, water and fertilizer integrated irrigation, fertilization target is stronger, can save more than 70% of fertilizer, reduce Fertilizer waste and residue in the soil.
