Technological elements such as drones are constantly empowering spring farming and helping Qingcheng District to seize the farming season. As of April 10, Qingcheng District had 100,400 mu of seedling cultivation area, 104,700 mu of farmland area, and 99,800 mu of seedling transplanting area. The overall situation of spring plowing production is good.
On the farmland of Jiepai Village, Shijiao Town, Qingcheng District, a drone hovered continuously under the control of technicians to sow rice seeds. “At present, the main planting methods are organic transplanting and drone live broadcast,” Qingyuan City Zhen According to He Feiming, the person in charge of Fei Agricultural Service Co., Ltd., the fields with convenient drainage and irrigation can be sowed by drones, and the fields with inconvenient drainage and irrigation can be transplanted by machine or manually thrown.
“Now drones can sow about 37.5 mu in an hour, and can complete 300 mu of farmland in a day, and it has the effect of precise sowing and uniform particle size.” He Feiming introduced that the live drones broadcast rice seeds after soaking and urging. There is no need for traditional raising of seedlings, manual transfer of seedlings and other links, which greatly reduces the time cost. In addition, drones also have various functions such as spraying pesticides and fertilizing, which greatly improves the efficiency of spring plowing while saving labor costs, and promotes agricultural efficiency and farmers’ income.
On April 11, in Yunman, Jimei, Longtang Town, farmers are skillfully planting seedlings. “The seedlings used this time are a new type of rice – giant rice, with a plant height of up to 2.2 meters. To ensure the harvest, the seedling spacing is wider than that of ordinary seedlings.” Bai Jianhua, deputy director of the planting management department of Qingcheng District Agriculture and Rural Bureau According to the introduction, the “giant rice” has a tall plant type, moderate distribution, straight leaves and deep color, and high photosynthetic efficiency. It is estimated that the yield per mu will reach 1,600 jin. This year, about 600 mu were mainly planted in Dongcheng, Zhouxin, Henghe and Longtang, Qingcheng District.
It is understood that the root system of “giant rice” can be as deep as 40 to 50 centimeters. Compared with ordinary rice, it can better absorb soil nutrients and has stronger disease resistance and lodging resistance. “If the trial planting is successful, we will explore multiple symbiosis models such as ‘rice shrimp, rice fish, rice duck’.” Bai Jianhua said that taking advantage of the advantages of “giant rice” such as high plant size and lodging resistance, it can be grown in rice fields. Breeding fish, shrimp, ducks, etc., “these animals can eat the pests in the rice fields, and the feces they produce can provide nutrients for the rice, which can increase the yield.” This three-dimensional planting mode can not only save manpower and capital costs, but also realize More harvest per mu, win-win for fish and food, help farmers increase production and income.
