Ningxia Agricultural Technology system explores a variety of compound technologies to help increase grain production

Since the beginning of this year, the agricultural technology extension department of Ningxia Hui Autonomous region has aimed at increasing farmers' income, adhering to the problem orientation, actively promoting the quality and efficiency of key industries, enhancing service capacity, and promoting the healthy development of planting production.

It is understood that in view of the main problems restricting high and stable grain production in the central and northern regions, technological innovation activities have achieved remarkable results. Agrotechnical departments at all levels of the autonomous region revolved around the improvement of one million mu of saline-alkali land in Yinbei area. 35 water and salt dynamic monitoring sites were established in Yinbei in 2016, and 520 salinization monitoring samples were collected, providing a technical basis for the transformation of saline-alkali land in Yinbei area. Centering on the problem of low utilization rate of water and fertilizer, agrotechnical departments at all levels have built seven cumulative demonstration areas of 4600 mu of corn and potato integrated water and fertilizer demonstration areas in Pingluo County, Litong District, Shapotou District, Yanchi County, Tongxin County, Haiyuan County and Yuanzhou District. We will adhere to the integration and matching of dry farming and rain farming techniques. After years of perseverance, we have successively created a number of comprehensive, permanent, distinctive and rich demonstration bases for dry and rain-fed agriculture, such as Yuanzhou Nanyuan, Pengyang Great Wall Yuan, Tongxin Prewang, Haiyuan Wuyuan, and so on. The agricultural technology extension department of the autonomous region has taken many measures at the same time, and new steps have been taken in the innovation of service mechanism. Lingwu Nonglida agro-technical service station innovated service mode, introduced new mechanisms such as e-commerce and financial services, copied and popularized the Yongning grain bank model by agro-technical service stations in Helan County and Shapotou District, and promoted the extension of high-quality grain industry to leisure and sightseeing agriculture in Qingtongxia City and Litong District, creating a demonstration platform for the integration of primary, secondary and tertiary industries, which achieved good results.
