The Three New Technologies Yield Results, and the Granary in Hubei Ushered in a Bumper Harvest

Autumn is the most beautiful season of the year, with a bumper harvest filling the granaries. On October 12th, the 3,000 - mu rice demonstration fields in Yunyang Village, Tuanfeng County, Huanggang City, in the "Demonstration Area of the Three - New - Technology Package for Reducing Fertilizer Inputs and Increasing Efficiency in Hubei Province" welcomed the yield measurement and acceptance by an expert group. Through on - site yield measurement, the "Rice Side - Deep Fertilization + Yishizhuang Special Slow - Release Fertilizer for Rice" was tested.

The meeting invited Gong Ximin, Deputy Director of the Hubei Provincial Station for Cultivated Land Quality and Fertilizer Work; Dai Zhigang, Section Chief; Li Xiaokun, Professor from the College of Resources and Environment, Huazhong Agricultural University; Zhao Zhuqing, Secretary - General of the Hubei Fertilizer Application Association; and Wu Peng, Section Chief of the Tillage and Fertilizer Section of the Huanggang City Agricultural Technology Promotion Center to guide on the spot. More than 100 people, including members of the Tuanfeng County Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the township agricultural technology extension centers, and large local growers, participated to jointly observe and witness the achievement acceptance of reducing fertilizer inputs and increasing efficiency and the "Three - New" - technology package in Tuanfeng County. The meeting was chaired by Lei Aimin, the person in charge of the Tuanfeng County Agricultural Technology Center.

In the paddy fields, the heavy ears of grain bent down happily, as if showing the joy of a bumper harvest to people; on the ridges, leaders and experts delivered important speeches, pointed out key technical points, shared progress and achievements, planned implementation plans, and summarized the implementation of the technical model.

At the meeting, Section Chief Dai Zhigang of the Hubei Provincial Station for Cultivated Land Quality and Fertilizer Work mainly explained the application and promotion mode of "Rice Side - Deep Fertilization + Special Slow - Release Fertilizer for Rice" to the participants. He emphasized the strict requirements for the mechanized application of fertilizers: first, the fertilizer should have strong hardness, low hygroscopicity, and be difficult to pulverize; second, it should have slow - release and controlled - release effects, saving labor and time; third, it should be applied according to the soil - testing formula, with comprehensive and reasonable nutrients. Section Chief Dai said that new fertilizer products suitable for rice side - deep fertilization have been developed, promoted, and applied, achieving remarkable results, and suggested increasing the promotion efforts to help more growers increase their income.

Wang Hongfei, Deputy Director of the Tuanfeng County Agricultural Technology Promotion Center, reported in detail on the spot the promotion of the integrated package of new fertilization technologies, new products, and new machinery (the "Three - New" technologies) and the average yield increase in the core demonstration area of reducing fertilizer inputs and increasing efficiency in the county. He said that currently, the coverage rate of the soil - testing formula fertilization technology in the whole county has reached 92.1%. In the next step, measures such as strengthening technical guidance and training, enhancing agricultural - enterprise cooperation, and increasing capital subsidy investment will be taken to give full play to the leading role of the demonstration area in an all - round and multi - perspective way.

After the meeting, the Tuanfeng County Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Affairs held a scientific fertilization technology training meeting on reducing fertilizer inputs and increasing efficiency and the integrated promotion of the "Three - New" - technology package in Tuanfeng County. Deng Tianming, a technical staff member of Hubei Yishizhuang, deeply analyzed the product characteristics of special slow - release and controlled - release fertilizers for rice and the mechanized application methods, and made key recommendations for the fertilization of the next - season crops such as rapeseed and wheat.

The autumn harvest season is a peak season for agricultural production and a crucial period for testing results. The rice demonstration projects of the agricultural - enterprise docking of Hubei Yishizhuang have blossomed and borne fruit all over the place. Observation meetings and actual yield acceptance were carried out in Xiaochang County, Xiaogan City; Yingcheng City, Xiaogan City; Mishizhen Town, Jingzhou City; Wuxue City, Huanggang City; Tuanfeng County, Huanggang City; Zengdu District, Suizhou City, etc., all achieving remarkable results and reaching the goals of reducing fertilizers, increasing efficiency, improving quality, and increasing production, providing a "booster" for the light - simplified and precise development of agriculture.

In the next step, Yishizhuang will continue to strengthen the effective docking between agriculture and enterprises, follow up on the "Three - New" - technology - package fertilization technology for the simultaneous sowing of seeds and fertilizers for rapeseed and wheat, formulate precise fertilization plans for crops, and promote the full implementation of the "new technologies, new products, and new machinery".
