The construction of cultivated land emphasizes "reform, cultivation, protection and control".

On October 29, the Ministry of Agriculture held a national on-the-spot meeting on cultivated land quality construction in Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province. The reporter learned from the meeting that the Ministry of Agriculture will vigorously promote the protection and improvement of the quality of cultivated land next year, with soil improvement, soil fertility improvement, water and fertilizer conservation, and pollution control and restoration as the main contents. focusing on the built-up areas of high-standard farmland projects, the project areas of occupation-compensation balance of cultivated land, and areas with prominent cultivated land quality problems, efforts will be made to improve the internal quality of cultivated land and lay a long-term foundation for grain and agricultural production.

The meeting stressed that in the construction of cultivated land quality at present and in the future, it is necessary to strengthen the "two ideas" and improve the "two mechanisms", that is, to establish the concept of "both quantity and quality" of cultivated land resources. establish the concept of "quality red line" of cultivated land protection, improve the management mechanism, improve the construction compensation mechanism, and gradually realize the normalization, legalization and standardization of cultivated land quality management. Explore and promote the establishment of compensation policies for the construction and protection of cultivated land, so as to provide financial guarantee for the construction of the quality of cultivated land.

In terms of development goals, we should improve the level of field facilities and the basic fertility of cultivated land, and improve the quality and environment of cultivated land around the realization of quantitative safety, quality safety and agricultural ecological security of agricultural products. We will ensure that 800 million mu of high-standard farmland with drought and waterlogging will be built by 2020, the basic soil fertility of cultivated land will be increased by 0.5%, and the content of soil organic matter will be increased by 0.5%. The utilization rate of organic fertilizer resources increased by 20%, straw returned to the field reached 80%, zero growth in the use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers was achieved, and problems such as acidification, salinization and pollution of cultivated land were effectively controlled.

In the path of development, we should co-ordinate the current and long-term, production and ecology, engineering and technology, agricultural machinery and agronomy, highlighting the four essentials of "reform, cultivation, protection and control". Among them, "reform" is to improve soil, with emphasis on improving soil acidification, salinization and other obstacles, and improving cultivation methods; "cultivation" is to improve soil fertility, with emphasis on increasing the content of soil organic matter and improving the basic soil fertility of cultivated land; "conservation" is to conserve water and fertilizer. the key point is to popularize soil testing formula fertilization and the integration of water and fertilizer, promote deep ploughing and deep loosening, and carry out contour planting. "Control" means pollution control and remediation, with emphasis on the application of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, the prevention and control of heavy metal and organic pollution, and the control of agricultural film residues.
