The national spring sowing has passed 30%, and the green grain production model will be carried out

According to the agricultural situation regulation of the Ministry of Agriculture, all kinds of crops have been sown nationwide accounting for 35.0% of the intended area of spring sowing crops, which is the same as that of the same period last year. Among them, 27.8% of the sown grain, 42.1% of the sown cotton, 36.0% of the sown oil, 80.2% of the sown sugar, and 64.7% of the sown vegetables.

At present, the cultivation of early rice seedlings across the country has basically been completed, and the planted area accounts for 79.0% of the intended area of early rice, with a slightly slower progress, including 87.8% in South China and 73.5% in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. The area of medium rice (single cropping rice) has been raised (folded field) accounts for 82.9% of the intended area of medium rice, and the progress is 1.4% faster than the same period last year, of which the southwest is basically over, and the four northeastern provinces are coming to an end.

At present, agricultural departments at all levels are making every effort to implement various measures of spring ploughing and spring sowing. The first is to optimize the stable area of the structure. We will properly implement policies to support grain production, guide farmers to grow good grain, and stabilize the area of grain rations such as rice and wheat. Adjust measures to local conditions to reduce corn cultivation in high latitudes and arid areas, and change to drought-tolerant crops such as miscellaneous grains, beans, potatoes, silage corn, and so on, so as to maintain a stable grain area. Second, we should pay attention to scientific and technological innovation and attack per unit area production. We will continue to do a good job in technical guidance on important links, do a good job in field management in spring, promote the combination of promotion and control according to seedling growth and climate characteristics, and implement key technologies by region and crop. We should focus on the establishment of high grain production and the green production model, make every effort to overcome the technical bottlenecks affecting the improvement of per unit yield, quality, efficiency, and environmental improvement, and integrate a set of technical models of high and stable yield, saving cost and increasing efficiency, and green environmental protection can be replicated. we will create a number of demonstration areas that increase production and efficiency, and promote balanced production. The third is to strengthen the capacity of infrastructure construction. We will speed up the delineation of permanent basic farmland, strengthen the construction of farmland infrastructure, and speed up the construction of a number of high-standard farmland with drought and waterlogging to support the stable development of grain. In particular, we should strengthen the protection and improvement of the quality of cultivated land, carry out a good "action to protect and improve the quality of cultivated land", improve soil, improve soil fertility, balance nutrients, and restore cultivated land, so as to realize "storing grain in the land".

According to reports, this year, the Ministry of Agriculture will also organize to tackle key problems of green grain production throughout the country, focusing on "12 major actions" such as water-saving irrigation for rice in Northeast China, continuous cropping of rice and wheat in Jianghuai region, potato staple food products and industrial development, and so on. We will strive to achieve the "three improvements" and strive to increase grain yield by an average of 1 percentage point a year by 2020, increase the comprehensive mechanization rate of cultivation and income of key grain crops by 10 percentage points, and increase the utilization rate of chemical fertilizers and pesticides to more than 40%. Strive to achieve "two zero growth" and strive to achieve zero growth in the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides in grain and agricultural production by 2020.
