CCTV News: In Tianmen City, a major grain-producing area in Hubei, more than 800,000 acres of wheat are in the jointing and earing stage. Farmers seize the farming season, clear ditches, and top-dress the wheat through drone equipment.

The reporter came to the 10,000 mu wheat high-yield demonstration area in Huangtan Town, Tianmen City, Hubei Province. Farmers were clearing ditches and laying accumulation in the wheat fields. There is a local saying that "three ditches in wheat fields, from planting pipes to harvesting." Opening three grooves with high quality can effectively prevent wheat field stains, reduce the occurrence of pests and diseases, and improve root vitality. It is an important guarantee for high and stable wheat yields.

Agricultural technicians told reporters that these wheats are now in the ear-pregnancy stage as a whole. During this period, wheat requires a large amount of water and fertilizer, and more than a dozen drones are being fertilized on site. Each drone has a maximum load capacity of 75 kilograms and can operate about 140 acres in one hour, which is 10-15 times the efficiency of artificial fertilization. They can also accurately set the amount of application per mu of field, and the stirred nitrogen fertilizer is sprinkled out by scattering the tray to ensure that the fertilizer is evenly spread.

The continuous wheat fields can be seen from the picture are the same green, but in fact there are dozens of different wheat varieties planted in this field. Because this area belongs to the experimental wheat variety planting area, it is to facilitate comparison in the same field and under the same water and fertilizer management conditions to screen out excellent wheat varieties suitable for local cultivation, high yield and strong anti-epidemic ability.

The field opposite the reporter is called a demonstration planting area, and there are 3 preferred varieties that have been tested and planted. In the critical periods of wheat emergence and harvesting, growers will be organized to observe on site, so that they can personally experience the growth of the new varieties and promote the popularization and promotion of excellent varieties in the local area.

Tianmen City, located in the hinterland of the Jianghan Plain, has always been the main grain production area. Through rice and wheat rotation and bean and wheat rotation, we make full use of every field in different seasons. This spring, the local wheat area in the field was 866,800 mu. Through timely and moisture-friendly field management, the wheat is growing well. The agricultural department expects that the wheat yield in Tianmen will increase by more than 10% this year compared with last year.

Quzhou, Hebei: Seedlings are divided into policies and strengthen wheat field management

As the temperature gradually warms up, more than 33 million mu of wheat in Handan, Hebei have gradually entered the rebengagement period. Agricultural technology experts have conducted full research and used advanced means such as drones to implement seedlings and measures to strengthen field management.

In a wheat field in Quzhou County, Handan, Hebei Province, teachers and students from the Quzhou Experimental Station of China Agricultural University are monitoring and recording wheat soil and seedling conditions. For wheat fields with poor seedling conditions, drones spray humic acid foliar fertilizer on wheat to promote wheat growth.

In response to the special climatic conditions where the temperature has rebounded rapidly this year and the average temperature is higher than in previous years, Quzhou County and the Quzhou Experimental Station of China Agricultural University launched the "Hundred Experts Entering Hundred Villages" scientific and technological service activity to guide farmers to strengthen wheat field management.
