When can the "last kilometer" from the laboratory to the field be played?

New agricultural technologies emerge one after another, new achievements continue to flow, and new ideas are updated rapidly, but why is the field still basically the same? Some farmers and agricultural experts told reporters that although some benefits have been achieved by relying on new agricultural technologies in recent years, it feels that many new technologies are still far from the fields.

Jiang Chuanbao, a villager from Shaojia Village, Liuhe Town, Liuhe County, Jilin Province, planted more than 50 mu of corn this year. At the Changchun Agricultural Expo held not long ago, Jiang Chuanbao saw many new technologies for high yield of corn. While envious, he was also a little anxious: when can I use such a good technology?

"the new technology is certainly very helpful in improving output and quality, but there is usually no one to teach it, and the agricultural technology publicity carried out above is not very deep." Jiang Chuanbao said.

Shang Tingyu, a villager of Renhe Village, Songshan Town, Panshi City, Jilin Province, also encountered the same confusion. "I especially want to know about the new techniques of accumulated temperature, pesticide application and topdressing of corn. I can usually see some agricultural technology publicity, but very few technicians come to teach us." He said.

Some farmers say that the publicity of new agricultural technologies carried out by the agricultural sector is indeed very useful for farming, but the rural areas are too large to reach every village, and this kind of "sesame salt" promotion is very difficult to achieve practical results.

Zhang Xishan, an expert in agricultural technology and general manager of Jilin Laixing Feed Co., Ltd., often goes to rural areas to popularize technology, and he is deeply touched by farmers' eagerness for new technology. "We hold training courses for farmers and distribute materials. Farmers are very happy and look forward to our frequent visit." Zhang Xishan said.

Wang Wansheng, an agricultural expert at Changchun Pastoral Agricultural Science Research Institute, said: in order to truly increase grain production and change farmers' production concepts, science and technology is the only way to help agriculture and revitalize agriculture through science and technology. However, judging from the current situation, there is still a long way to go between the new technology and farmland. "our high-yield corn technology has been very mature, but due to the lack of promotion, many farmers dare not do it." Wang Wansheng said.

The reporter learned that farmers are very much looking forward to the regular promotion of new technologies and methods in rural areas. "I really hope that agricultural experts can give us more guidance, especially some regular technical guidance, which will help us improve the scientific and technological content of farming." Jiang Chuanbao said.

Zhang Xishan suggested that the agricultural sector should organize more experts and often teach the technology of touring to the countryside, so as to connect the new technology with the "last kilometer" of the field, so as to benefit farmers.

Wu Yiyan, chairman of the Taiwan Ecological Agriculture Development Association, told reporters that closely combining scientific and technological achievements with farmers' production is a common practice in Taiwan's agriculture at present, and with the promotion of new technology, farmers have seen benefits and their enthusiasm for production has also increased significantly. "it is true that new technology is very good, but the most important thing is to let farmers have more exposure to new technology and feel the role of new technology. This is the fundamental purpose of developing new agricultural technology." Wu Yiyan said.
