China News Service, Hulin, October 6 (Hao Dong Wang Nina) Currently, Heilongjiang Province is the season for a bumper rice harvest. Cheng Youdong, a farmer in Hulin City in the province, smiles, because this year his family’s “dry live broadcast” rice grows particularly gratifying. According to local agricultural experts, the output of rice per mu will reach more than 1,300 catties, which is higher than last year's output.

Heilongjiang Province is a large japonica rice planting province in my country, and its planting area has ranked first in the country for many years.
This year, Cheng Youdong, a grower in Fuxian Village, Dongfanghong Town, Hulin City, planted more than 400 acres of rice fields with a new method of "dry field live broadcasting".
"Dry direct seeding" is to sown rice seeds directly in the field without raising seedlings, soaking the fields, let alone planting seedlings, which saves time and effort and greatly reduces labor costs.
In previous years, the traditional planting of seedlings took nearly a month, but this year, his family’s dry direct seeding planting took only 6 days to complete the planting.

According to He Yanjie, a senior agronomist from the Agricultural Technology Extension Center of Hulin City, through actual measurements in the past few days, the yield per mu of dry direct seeding reached 1,300 jin, which is about the same as the yield of traditional rice planting.
"After 8 years of popularization, the technology of dry direct seeding of rice has become more mature and perfect. Looking at this year's output, it will be able to collect more than 100 catties of grain per mu of land last year." Ji Xin said.
Farmer Cheng Youdong said: “Through expert production measurements, our rice is about the same as transplanted rice in terms of yield. However, because the dry direct seeding technology saves labor, time, and water, the benefits of dry direct seeding rice are far greater. Higher than rice transplanting.

At the production site, a farmer from Fujin City, Ge Qixia, specially came here to observe the dry direct seeding rice harvest. He said: "Today I saw dry direct seeding rice and I was very touched. I calculated it in my heart and calculated from the total benefit. The net income of dry live broadcast can reach 10,000 yuan. If it is planting seedlings, it will be a few thousand yuan. In terms of efficiency, the difference is still very large. I also want to grow rice like this next year. I plan to plant 3,000 yuan next year. Mu of land. (End)
