Xinhua News Agency, Changsha, July 25 (Reporter Zhou Mian) The reporter noticed a new agricultural trend when interviewing "Double Grab" in Dongting Lake District, Hunan Province recently: many large grain growers and cooperatives actively connect with colleges and universities and undertake agricultural research projects Specific implementation work. Interviewees felt that such cooperation not only allows farmers to obtain the latest technology and concepts, but also allows scientific researchers to conduct research more grounded.
Xiong Jiaojun is a major grain grower in Qianshanhong Town, Datonghu District, Yiyang City, Hunan Province. The reporter saw on her farm: On one side, more than a dozen local peasant women were planting late rice seedlings, and on the other side were several students in their early 20s collecting Test sample. After finishing their work, the students walked directly into the rice field opposite to help the farmers with their farm work.
"This is our experimental field for the selection and breeding of ratooning rice varieties." Xu Jianlong, a researcher from the Institute of Crop Science of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, who had just instructed the students and washed their feet by the field, said that many cooperatives have sent them invitations to set up sites, but they Still think this is the most suitable. In addition to the fertile soil, contiguous fields, and convenient transportation in the Datong Lake area, the most important reason is that Xiong Jiaojun, who understands and loves agriculture, has a very rich experience in "courtyard cooperation".
"I have cooperated with more than 10 units such as the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, China Rice Research Institute, Hunan Agricultural University, Zhejiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and have undertaken more than 20 scientific research projects this year." Xiong Jiaojun introduced that she transferred more than 1,000 acres of arable land There are 100 acres of experimental fields. The cooperation mode is to design scientific research plans and allocate scientific research funds for institutions and universities, and they are responsible for the specific implementation of the project. In order to ensure the accommodation of hundreds of scientific researchers and different teams who go to the farm every year, Xiong Jiaojun deliberately built a two-story building and installed air conditioning in each dormitory. And she herself became the "field tutor" and "life manager" of the students.
The win-win cooperation model has strongly promoted the development of modern agriculture in China. Xu Jianlong said that this is conducive to colleges and universities "writing papers on the land of the motherland" and can transform scientific research results faster and on the spot. From Hainan to Hunan and then to the Northeast, my team has set up more than 10 similar test sites across the country this year.
"This is really good for our farmers!" Xiong Jiaojun said. The most obvious thing is that the farm has become a "technical special zone", and he and surrounding farmers can enjoy the latest agricultural technology for the first time. "Everyone often sends out'Oh! It turns out that it can still be farmed like this.'" Xiong Jiaojun introduced. For example, Hunan Agricultural University and other teams implemented the "weight loss and efficiency" and "high-grade high-quality rice cultivation technology" experiments. The results have been used in the previous two years. In actual production, the amount of chemical fertilizer applied per mu of rice fields in the local area was reduced by 50%, and the income per mu was increased by more than 400 yuan.
A few days ago, Zhongyi Modern Agricultural Development Co., Ltd., located in Quanjiaohe Town, Heshan District, Yiyang City, assisted Hunan Hybrid Rice Research Center in a production test and acceptance. Peng Weifeng, general manager of the company, said that each year they undertake about 10 national, provincial and municipal agricultural research projects, including green cultivation, soil management, and variety breeding. To this end, the company not only sent special personnel to serve the scientific research team throughout the process, but also gave up 30 labors during the "double grab" period for priority use by the project.
"Learning cultivation, management, medicine control, and fertilization are all'dry goods knowledge' that allows us to increase production and income." Peng Weifeng told reporters that in the past three years of cooperation, he and local farmers have not only mastered the most accurate cultivation model. In addition, tens of thousands of acres of rice varieties with good resistance and high quality have been planted in the "close to the water and the terrace," with an increase of more than 200 yuan per acre. And because there are scientific research projects throughout the year that require a large amount of labor for field management and other tasks, this has led to stable employment of at least 40 local people, and an average annual income of 30,000 yuan per capita.
Xiong Jiaojun and Peng Weifeng are currently actively striving for new agricultural research projects. They told reporters that in the future, more graduate students and doctoral students will come to the fields, and the cause of farming will become more professional and modern.
