Protect the Black Land in Northeast China and realize "storing Grain in the Land"

The central government has allocated 500 million yuan to support the pilot project of protection and utilization of black land in Northeast China.

Our reporter learned from the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Finance that this year, the central government has allocated 500 million yuan to support 17 major grain-producing counties in Northeast China to carry out pilot projects for the protection and use of black land. A few days ago, the Ministry of Agriculture held a meeting in Heilongjiang to promote the implementation of the pilot project for the protection and utilization of northeast black land, defining tasks, implementing responsibilities, and promoting the pilot work.

The meeting pointed out that doing a good job in the pilot project of the protection and utilization of black land in Northeast China is an important task to carry out actions to protect and improve the quality of cultivated land. The northeast is one of the only three major black soil regions in the world. The grain output of the four provinces (regions) accounts for 4% of the national grain output, 4% of the commodity volume, and 3% of the national volume. It is the most important grain production advantage area and the largest commodity grain supply base in China, and it is the "ballast stone" of national food security. In recent years, due to the long-term high-intensity and overload use of black soil, the increase in crop yield has also brought about the loss of black soil, the decline of cultivated land fertility and soil microbial activity, as well as soil impoverishment, acidification, salinization and pollution, which have seriously affected the sustainable development of agriculture in Northeast China and the food security of our country. Get results.

According to the analysis of the meeting, the momentum of black land degradation in Northeast China is still continuing. in addition to natural factors, there are also some problems, such as weak awareness of protection, serious soil erosion in planting along the slope, unreasonable planting system, poor farmland infrastructure, and so on. Effective measures must be taken to solve them. The meeting stressed that in order to do a good job in the protection and utilization of black land in Northeast China, it is necessary to strengthen the concept of green development, give priority to ecology, give priority to protection, and persist in protecting and developing in the course of development, so as to realize the sustainable utilization of black land resources. promote the combination of land use and cultivation, planting and farming, engineering and agronomy, effectively control the degradation of black soil, and improve the quality of black land in an all-round way. It is necessary to adhere to the principles of combination of use and maintenance, protection and utilization, key points, comprehensive policies, overall arrangements and successive implementation, policy guidance and social participation. In the path, "control, increase, conservation and cultivation" should be emphasized, that is, to control the loss of black soil, increase the content of organic matter, preserve water and fertilizer and cultivate black soil. Do a good job in the four key tasks of organic fertilizer resource utilization and fertilization, grain and bean rotation, fertilizer management and fertilizer conservation on gentle slopes, and apply new technologies to save fertilizer, and strive to achieve the goals of "three improvements": by 2020, the cultivated land fertility in the project area will be increased by more than 0.5%, the content of soil organic matter by 0.5%, and the thickness of the tillage layer by more than 10cm.

The meeting called on all localities to enhance their sense of responsibility and do a solid job in the pilot work in a highly responsible spirit and effective measures. It is necessary to mobilize the tripartite enthusiasm of the pilot county government, farmers in the project area, and agricultural departments for guidance and service; strengthen the "three implementations", implement responsibilities, guide services, supervise and inspect them in place; give full play to the leading role of new business entities, give full play to the leading role of technology, give full play to the incentive role of policies, do good things well, do practical things, and let the pilot project achieve results.
