Agricultural Machinery Promotion “Field Day” Helps Mechanized Production of Strawberries

Recently, the Beijing Agricultural Machinery Test, Identification and Promotion Station, together with the Mechanised agriculture General Station of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, and the Mechanised agriculture Technology Promotion Stations in Changping and Daxing Districts, organized and held the strawberry and watermelon production agricultural machinery promotion field days in Xiaotangshan Town, Changping District, and Panggezhuang, Daxing District.

Unlike other production processes, strawberry ridge breaking and watermelon sorting have strong crop planting professionalism. Mechanized operation experiments and demonstration operations were conducted on the selected processes at the activity site. Firstly, exploration and experimentation were conducted on evaluation indicators for mechanized operations. In the process of strawberry ridge breaking, indicators such as operation depth, soil fragmentation rate, and vegetation coverage were selected; In the watermelon sorting process, indicators such as weighing accuracy, qualification rate, and loss rate were selected, and the measurement methods of indicators were studied and improved based on the specific needs of crop production professional operations. The second is to carry out technical discussions on the mechanization of strawberry and watermelon production, focusing on issues such as “appropriate mechanization requirements for plastic greenhouses with shoulders and no columns” and “the impact of turning radius of machines and tools on the operation of machines and tools in facilities”. Relevant parameters such as facility mechanization and machine suitability are studied and proposed, laying the foundation for optimizing the mechanization integration technology of strawberry and watermelon facility production in the next step; The third is to carry out observation on the operation and use of machinery, provide training to relevant technical personnel of surrounding agricultural machinery socialized service organizations and agricultural production parks, and promote the promotion and application of mechanization technology in strawberry and watermelon production.

It is reported that in 2022, the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the Beijing Municipal Commission of Planning and Natural Resources, the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Finance and other units jointly issued the Implementation Plan of Mechanised agriculture Improvement Action in Beijing (2023-2025), which clearly stated that “encourage each district to form a batch of district level main mechanization technologies and models that conform to the characteristics of local industrial development, and actively undertake the” Field Day “activity of agricultural machinery promotion in the city.” To this end, The Municipal Agricultural Machinery Testing and Evaluation Promotion Station will continue to collaborate with the headquarters and relevant district level agricultural machinery promotion departments to fully leverage the professional production advantages of characteristic crop variety clustering, stubble clustering, and regional clustering, strengthen the research on mechanization technology and models of Changping strawberries and Daxing watermelon, and further deepen the creation of Changping strawberries and Daxing watermelon agricultural machinery promotion field day work brands, and improve the level of mechanization production and application.
