Shanxi Xiaoyi Fudong Agricultural Machinery Cooperative: taking multiple measures to ensure stable Maize yield and bumper harvest

Since its establishment in 2009, Fudong Agricultural Machinery Cooperative has been mainly planting corn for nine consecutive years. By improving varieties and introducing advanced cultivation techniques, Fudong Agricultural Machinery Cooperative has become a model of modern agricultural cultivation in Xiaoyi City. This year, Xiaoyi Agricultural Technology Center strengthened its services, adjusted the planting pattern for cooperatives, changed the planting structure, and paid close attention to the growth of corn in various periods to ensure stable corn production.

This period is the critical period of corn jointing. The recent continuous high temperature weather has seriously affected the corn in the critical growth period. In response to the adverse effects of high temperature and drought weather on crop growth, Fudong Agricultural Machinery Cooperative has urgently taken effective measures to replenish water for the farmland.

Fan Zhong, head of Fudong Agricultural Machinery Cooperative:

Lift it from the Fenhe River and cross the Wenyu River and water it with a U-shaped channel. If you look at the situation of the corn, it will be dry enough, much drier than last year. Now is the most critical jointing stage of corn, need water, all irrigated with water, the yield will be no problem.

According to the person in charge of the cooperative, at present, the cooperative dispatches 20 to 30 people a day, which can irrigate more than 200 mu on average a day, and it is estimated that about 7,000 mu of irrigated area of the cooperative can be completed in a month. On the one hand, replenishing water is one way to ensure the yield and efficiency of corn. During the corn sowing season this year, the Municipal Agricultural Technology Center helped cooperatives adjust the planting structure and methods of corn, greatly reducing the planting cost.

Moving picture

Fan Zhong, head of Fudong Agricultural Machinery Cooperative:

In the past, only corn was planted, but this year, more than 1000 mu of beans and corn have been planted. Next, the most important thing is to adjust the seeder. The distance between seeds and chemical fertilizer is six or seven centimeters. When the corn comes out of the ground and grows more than a foot tall, it will all eat chemical fertilizer. In that case, applying half a bag of chemical fertilizer is equivalent to applying a bag of base fertilizer in previous years, and the investment will come down.

It is understood that a total of 150000 mu of corn has been planted in Xiaoyi City this year. In order to ensure a stable and high yield of corn, the Municipal Agricultural Technology Center paid close attention to the agricultural situation, took the initiative to provide services, and issued relevant information in a timely manner to help growers solve the difficulties in the production process.

Zhang Wensheng, Director of Standardization of Municipal Agricultural Technology Center:

In view of this situation, water is quickly watered where there is no water, and where there is no water, it is combined with ploughing and weeding to reduce evaporation to the land and alleviate the drought of corn as far as possible. The next step in the corn borer control, what we want is unified control, modern flight control, to strive for our Xiaoyi corn yield can not be reduced, high yield.
