China News Service, Chenzhou, March 28 (Huang Yuling, Chen Lu) After the trays of seedlings were sprayed, spread with substrate, sown, covered and other processes on the assembly line, they were transferred to the seedling beds and placed neatly for germination... for several days. Recently, in major rice-raising bases in Suxian District, Chenzhou City, Hunan Province, workers were busy sowing rice seedling trays on early rice rice-raising lines.

"If no water comes out at night, it means there is a shortage of water. You should water it 3 or 4 times quickly..." In front of the concentrated seedling cultivation line of Chenzhou Jingxiangxiong Agricultural Machinery Professional Cooperative in Chenjiawan Village, Liangtian Town, agricultural technicians repeated over and over again Once again guide the farmers who come to learn from the experience.
Lei Yongjun, a major grain grower from Qifengdu Town, came to the site to observe and learn. He built 11 concentrated rice seedling greenhouses this year, which can provide seedlings for 600 acres of early rice fields. "We used to hire dozens of people to plant rice in the rice field, but now we use the rice-growing greenhouse to hire up to seven or eight people. The rice-growing speed is accelerated and labor costs are saved, which is good for us as a large grain grower." Lei Yongjun said.
Wang Zhixiong, head of the Beijing Xiangxiong Agricultural Machinery Professional Cooperative Base, said that this rice seedling raising line can grow more than 800 rice seedling trays per hour, and can complete more than 5,000 finished rice seedling trays in one day, which can be used for 200 acres of fields. It is not only highly efficient, but also has a high survival rate. High, which greatly improves the efficiency of seedling cultivation and the quality of seedlings.

"We plan to complete the planting and breeding of rice seedlings in about 4 days. The transplanting of rice seedlings will start after April 20. We will all operate with mechanization." Wang Zhixiong introduced, "This year, the base will prepare 1,000 acres of early rice seedlings. In addition to its own farmland, the base will also provide various facilities for various fields." The village's large grain growers and individual farmers provide rice seedling raising services."
In order to help rice farmers lay a solid foundation for grain production, the Suxian District Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau organized agricultural technicians to visit cooperatives and rice-growing greenhouses of large grain-growing households to check the progress of early rice rice seedlings and provide technical guidance on centralized rice-raising. It is reported that at present, Suxian District has built a total of 26,000 square meters of centralized seedling cultivation greenhouse facilities. This year, it is planned to complete 65,000 acres of centralized early rice cultivation, and the centralized cultivation is expected to be completed in early April.
Cao Xia, chief of the Planting Industry Section of the Suxian District Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau, said that in the next step, technical personnel will continue to be sent to the fields to provide on-site guidance and technical training, so that large growers can master the concentrated seedling cultivation technology and lay a solid foundation for a bumper harvest of early rice. .
