New Progress of the Three New Technologies - The Special Fertilizer for Rice in Xiaochang Shows Remarkable Results

As autumn is getting deeper and the harvest is approaching, the fields are full of heavy rice ears, as if dressing the earth in a new outfit.

In mid - September, the Soil and Fertilizer Workstation of the Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Affairs in Xiaochang County, Xiaogan City, organized local large growers to carry out an observation and training session on the "Three New" technologies of rice side - deep fertilization. More than 70 people on the spot jointly verified the scientific and technological demonstration achievements of mechanized, light - simplified, and precise fertilization for rice.

At the scene of the observation meeting, Zhang Jianfeng, the head of the Soil and Fertilizer Workstation of the Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Affairs in the county, explained in detail the key technical points of the demonstration fields: "According to the local planting structure and soil conditions in Xiaochang County, we carried out fertilization experiments and verifications on 1,600 mu of rice in 5 townships of the county under different cultivation modes for different rice varieties. Judging from the current performance, for hybrid rice and super rice, an application rate of 40 kg per mu of Yishizhuang special slow - release fertilizer for rice is a more appropriate dosage. For conventional rice, the dosage can be reduced by 5 kg. Combined with the light - simplified application of machine transplanting + side - deep fertilization, it can effectively promote the reduction of fertilizer use, increase in production and income for rice cultivation."

Experiments verify the effects and summarize experiences. "This year, we sold nearly 300 tons of special slow - release fertilizer for rice, and the overall feedback is very good. Growers who use side - deep fertilization + Yishizhuang special slow - release fertilizer for rice have given me several advantages. First, compared with other high - content quick - acting fertilizers, it is easy to apply mechanized, deeply applied next to the rice roots, not easy to lose, and has a high utilization rate. Second, the overall growth is very uniform, the fertilizer effect is long - lasting, and in the later stage, the leaves are green and the seeds are yellow, with a higher setting rate. Third, organic matter components are added, and after use, the soil becomes better, more fertile, and the roots are stronger. Fourth, silicon and zinc required by rice are added, which improves the lodging resistance of rice. We have harvested some of the rice, and overall, the actual yield increase is significant." At the training session, Boss Jiao Dongsheng, the person in charge of the formula fertilizer sales network, shared his feelings about the local application of special slow - release fertilizer for rice this year.

Effective docking between agriculture and enterprises promotes the implementation of new technologies and new products. At the meeting, Deng Tianming, a technical staff member of Yishizhuang, deeply analyzed the advantages and characteristics of the special slow - release fertilizer for rice and demonstrated the application of the "Three New" technologies for rice in various places. For the light - simplified planting of rapeseed and wheat in the next quarter, Yishizhuang special slow - release fertilizer for rapeseed and special slow - release fertilizer for wheat were mainly recommended, and the application methods were introduced to facilitate growers' understanding and application.

The demonstration of the technology of rice machine transplanting + side - deep fertilization in Xiaochang County shows remarkable results, accelerating the implementation and application of the "Three New" technologies for reducing fertilizer inputs and increasing efficiency. Yishizhuang will continue to make efforts to promote scientific fertilization and help farmers increase production and income.
