Complete the task of deep loosening and land preparation of agricultural machinery in the whole year by ensuring quality and quantity

At a time when the national large-scale "three Autumn" mechanized production work is about to begin, on September 4, the Ministry of Agriculture held an on-site meeting on the operation of deep loosening of agricultural machinery in Hengshui City, Hebei Province, and organized to observe the demonstration of the operation of deep loosening machinery. to study and deploy work measures to further promote deep loosening and land preparation. Zhang Taolin, vice minister of the Ministry of Agriculture, stressed at the on-the-spot meeting that departments in charge of agricultural mechanization at all levels should compete for agricultural time, solidly do a good job in various organizational management and technical services, and achieve the goal of launching a pilot project of 100 million mu this year in quality and quantity.

Zhang Taolin pointed out that Northeast China, North China, and the Huang-Huai-Hai region are the "main battlefield" for deep loosening, accounting for more than 80% of the country's total land preparation area, and autumn soil preparation is the "highlight" of mechanized production in the "three Autumn". All relevant provinces should firmly grasp this critical point and focus on five tasks. First, we should actively coordinate the implementation of operation subsidy funds, increase support for deep loosening land preparation work, and at the same time give full play to the guiding role of machine purchase subsidy policy, giving priority to meeting the needs of farmers for purchasing high-power tractors, deep loosening machines and other operating equipment. Second, we should step up efforts to improve and refine the implementation plan for the pilot project of deep loosening and land preparation of agricultural machinery in various places, decompose and implement the tasks of the pilot project to the counties and townships, encourage centralized promotion, and enhance the demonstration-driven effect. The third is to actively organize and sign contracts for subsoiling operations, carry out technical services in rural areas, and complete the pilot tasks of subsoiling land preparation operations in quality and quantity. Fourth, strengthen the supervision and management of subsidy funds and organize forces to carry out verification to ensure standardized use. Fifth, widely publicize the important role of deep loosening of land preparation, improve the broad masses of farmers' consciousness of applying technology, conscientiously sum up and popularize good experiences and good practices, and create a good atmosphere of public opinion.

It is reported that the operation of deep loosening and soil preparation of agricultural machinery refers to a farming technique that draws deep loosening machines and tools through tractors to loosen the soil, break the bottom of the plough, improve the structure of the plough layer, and enhance the ability of the soil to store water, preserve soil moisture and resist drought and drainage. In recent years, Heilongjiang, Jilin, Hebei and other provinces have made great efforts to popularize the deep loosening and soil preparation of agricultural machinery, which has effectively solved the problems of soil consolidation, shallower plough layer, and poor ability to conserve water and fertilizer, and significantly promoted the increase of crop production. comparative experiments show that wheat and corn increase by about 10% per mu in deep pine plots.
