The high yield of Danyang rice "soil expert" depends on him.

The rice ears in the fields under the guidance of Ma Suobao are very dense.

Notice of acceptance of patent.

At the end of the autumn harvest, Ma Suobao, who lives in Xinggong Tangxiang Village, Yanling Town, Danyang City, was very happy. Because according to the "new technology" he studied, the yield of rice planted by the villagers reached more than 650 kilograms per mu, at least 50 kilograms more than the fields planted by traditional methods. You know, it was only sown after the flood (July 3), more than half a month later than the normal year.

Ma Suobao, 61, fumbled out a new rice planting method three years ago. After trial planting with his neighbors, he not only had a high yield, but also applied less chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and the rice was of good quality. In June this year, he applied for an invention patent for his "direct seeding method for rice on dry land and paddy land".

Busy season

When people plant rice seedlings, he rolls them.

A few days ago, when the reporter went to Tangxiang Village, Xinggong, Yanling Town, he saw that the fields where Ma Suobao served as technical guidance had gratifying rice growth, many and dense ears of rice, no weeds in the fields, and stout stalks, while the nearby fields lodged with rice.

"the rice is too late to sow. If you sow seeds at the right time, you will grow better! " Ma Qiugui, a 74-year-old farmer in the village who paced along the ridge of the field, said that he planted it with the method taught by the old horse last year, with a yield of 730 kilograms per mu. "the yield is high, there is no grass growing, and 30 to 40 jin of chemical fertilizer can be saved per mu. Lao Ma's technology has obvious advantages."

The reporter learned that the water direct seeding planting method invented by Ma Suobao includes the steps of deep turning the previous crop straw, soaking seeds to promote germination, sparse sowing and raising strong seedlings, field tillage, and field management, among which the field tillage link is the most special: when the seedlings grow to four leaves, apply 40% to 50% high concentration compound fertilizer 25kg per mu, and then use a rotary tiller to roll the seedlings into rows (first cross-rolled once, a week later until the soil condenses. Vertical rolling again), retain 25% / 35% of the seedlings to continue to grow.

"the anti-skid wheel of the small rotary tiller is about 14 centimeters wide. In the process of rolling, the root system of the seedling has been moved to varying degrees by the extrusion of the anti-pulley, which is equivalent to the traditional transplanting. This not only greatly reduces the amount of labor, but also avoids the damage to the root system in the traditional rice transplanting process, and promotes the good growth of rice. 65% to 75% of the seedlings rolled into the soil can be directly used as organic fertilizer. At the same time, the air permeability of the seedling field is improved by rolling, and the fertilizers are brought into the soil to promote the attraction and utilization of rice. " Ma Suobao explained.

Another special feature of water direct seeding technology is that the field keeps a deep water level until the later stage of filling. Ma Suobao said that the advantage of this is that it is not easy to grow grass in the field, and there is no need to spray herbicides, because the water is deep, the grass is not easy to grow because of lack of oxygen, and rice grows early, which will "choke" large weeds to death; rice grows fast and grows well. In addition, by controlling the fertilization time and appropriate amount of fertilization, the application amount of chemical fertilizers and pesticides was reduced, so the rice yield was high, the rice quality was bright, and the taste was better.

Be happy to ponder

Planting wheat and vegetables also has a high yield.

Ma Suobao, who returned to work in his hometown after graduating from junior high school, has been obsessed with learning and studying agricultural planting techniques for many years. He says he spends 300 days a year thinking about farming. In 1990, when he sold hybrid rice, the Grain Administration Office said that his rice was "special rice." in 1998, he drove a transport vehicle at a construction site in Danyang. In order to study the high-yield technology of wheat, he brought the wheat seed to the construction site to promote sprouting.

With the delay of rice harvest, the yield of wheat was affected by late sowing in the south of the Yangtze River. Thanks to the seed soaking and sprouting technology, Ma Suobao advanced the growth period of wheat by a month. Similarly, in December, he used agricultural machinery to "trench" the wheat field and control the "spike" through proper fertilization to prevent wheat from getting scab. As a result, the yield of wheat he planted reached 425 kg to 450 kg per mu, while that of wheat without this technology was only 350 kg per mu.

Ma Suobao also has a "knack" for growing rape: he uses the "sparse planting method" to control row spacing and plant spacing; when people sprinkle chemical fertilizer on the field, he dissolves it in water to irrigate it; others water the seedlings three times before they can survive, and he can water them once. In recent years, the output of rape he planted is more than 300kg. "in 2013, he planted more than 6 mu of rapeseed and hit more than 4000 jin of rapeseed. This is very rare. "

Ma Suobao still remembers clearly that when he was driving a tractor to roll seedlings for the first time, the driver said timidly, "the villagers are going to call us crazy." the big grain grower mocked him, "his brain is out of his mind." his mother also chased and scolded him, "Why did a good seedling run over it?" Now, seeing that they can indeed increase production, many villagers have turned to him for advice from suspicion to belief. Last fall, after watching his live broadcast of water, the agricultural technician of the Danyang Municipal Committee of Agriculture also thought that it was really good, and the estimated yield was not less than 700 kilograms.

After the transfer of land this year, Ma Suobao no longer farmed on his own, but became a professional "technical consultant", responsible for guiding the cultivation of more than 170 mu of farmland by three large farmers. Not long ago, Xu Fatang and several other big farmers, including Xu Fatang, who contracted nearly 600 mu of farmland in Dantu Baoyan, Yanling, and other townships, made a special trip to "learn from the experience." after an on-the-spot investigation, Xu Fatang said with emotion that this "soil expert" had made painstaking efforts. He has been planting the land for more than 30 years and is ashamed of himself. He is going to promote Master Ma's skills next year.
