Harvesters Ensure Agricultural Production During The 'Three Autumn' Season!

Currently, it is a critical period for production during the "Three Autumn" season. On the morning of October 15th, in the ten thousand acre cornfield, golden waves surged and agricultural machinery roared. Large tractors and combine harvesters shuttled back and forth under the control of operators. The city's "Three Autumn" agricultural machinery operation demonstration and verification activity was held here. The reporter learned on site that the city has invested more than 5000 corn combine harvesters, 12000 tractors with over 100 horsepower, and 20000 wheat seeders for maintenance and upkeep. During the "Three Autumn" period, the city is expected to deploy 180000 sets of various agricultural machinery and equipment to fully ensure agricultural production in the "Three Autumn" season.

I. Intelligent agricultural machinery strikes, creating a "technological sense" harvest scene

More than 40 sets of full chain agricultural machinery covering corn harvesting, straw processing, tillage, wheat sowing, and plant protection operations are neatly arranged on site. The demonstration area is centered around the "one-stop" operation process, with intelligent equipment such as unmanned tractors controlled by Beidou navigation terminals, compound precision strip sowing machines, and crop protection drones appearing in a concentrated manner. The intelligent cloud platform displays real-time data such as operation trajectory, area, depth, and speed, giving the scene a strong sense of "technology".

Eight large corn combine harvesters are arranged in a straight line, and the corn plants are precisely "swallowed" wherever they pass - picking ears, peeling, threshing, and collecting grain in one go. Grain trucks shuttle back and forth, and the golden corn pours into the warehouse. The baler follows closely behind to process the straw, while the crushing and returning machine converts the straw into an organic fertilizer source. The process of straw leaving the field and returning to the field is orderly connected, and harvesting, clearing the field, and fertilizing are interrelated.

II. Precision cultivation and sowing to build a solid foundation for a bountiful harvest

After the harvest process is completed, the plowing and land preparation work immediately follows: the hydraulic flipping plow deeply breaks the bottom layer of the plow, the rotary tiller follows closely to finely grind and level the soil blocks, and the land preparation machine finally compacts and lifts the ditch. The soil in the field quickly becomes soft and delicate. The on-site technical personnel emphasized that high-quality tillage and land preparation are the key to planting whole wheat seedlings. Mechanized combined tillage and land preparation can effectively improve soil water storage and moisture retention capacity, creating a good seed bed for wheat growth.

III. Promote the 'double late' technology and tap into the potential for increased production

The focus of the event is to promote the "double late" mechanized production technology of "corn harvesting at the appropriate time and wheat sowing at the appropriate time". In response to the overall high temperature and continuous extension of solar and thermal resources in autumn this year, based on the demand for increased production, we will explore the potential for grain production through the "double late" technology.

Late harvest of corn in the later stage of grain filling for 7 to 10 days can fully utilize the light and heat resources in the later stage, prolong the grain filling time, increase grain weight, and increase yield by about 50 kilograms per mu. The late stage of corn grain filling is a critical period for increasing grain weight. When a black layer appears at the base of the grain and the milk line completely disappears, it reaches the mature stage, and the highest thousand grain weight is harvested at this time, "said the head of the Grain and Oil Crop Department of the Agricultural Technology Center on site.
