Hebei Agricultural Machinery Development Highlights Technological Innovation

The author was informed at the Hebei Provincial Meeting on Agricultural Mechanization recently held that in 2012, Hebei Province will speed up the process of mechanized production of grain crops in the province, and the overall level of mechanization for farming, sowing and harvesting will reach 69%, 1.8 percentage points higher than the previous year. The total power of agricultural machinery reached 105.6 million kilowatts, up 2 percentage points over the previous year. Accelerate the application of major applicable technologies and achieved new breakthroughs in major technologies such as corn harvesting, corn machine yield reached 45%, an increase of 10 percentage points over the previous year, and improved the level of superior economic crop production, facility agriculture, and aquaculture mechanization. We will vigorously promote the construction of agricultural machinery service systems and develop new market players such as agricultural machinery professional cooperatives.

The meeting held that agricultural development depends on science and technology, and the scale and standardization of agricultural scientific and technological achievements transformation rely on agricultural machinery, and the advancement of agricultural machinery science and technology is the first driving force for the development of agricultural machinery. Therefore, the agricultural machinery department of Hebei Province will strengthen policy support, increase input, accelerate the innovation and promotion of agricultural machinery science and technology, and increase the contribution rate of agricultural machinery science and technology progress. Actively integrate agricultural machinery research, academies, production, promotion, management, and other aspects, adhere to the combination of independent innovation and the introduction of digestion and innovation, establish and improve the mechanism of agricultural machinery collaborative research, give full play to the main role of agricultural machinery enterprises in scientific and technological innovation, and continuously improve the agricultural machinery Technological innovation level. Strengthen the transformation of agricultural machinery science and technology innovation and application platform, and gradually establish and improve the coordination mechanism of integration of agricultural machinery and agronomy, agricultural machinery and information technology, strengthen the basic work of experimentation and demonstration, and build demonstration areas, parks, and cooperatives into new equipment and popularization of new technologies. The important display window is to continuously expand the popularization of advanced, applicable, safe and reliable technologies and new farmers' training, optimize the structure of agricultural machinery talents, and provide talent guarantee and intellectual support for the development of agricultural machinery.

The meeting proposed that all localities should give full play to the role of professional organizations such as the Agricultural Machinery Society and associations. In the implementation process, we must focus on corn production mechanization, encourage and support farmers to develop corn harvests, and actively explore the market for corn machine harvest and cross-regional operations, and improve operations. Benefits and equipment usage rates ensure that the level of mechanization of corn harvest this year is increased by 10%. We will continue to vigorously promote the technology for increasing output of agricultural machinery, increase the demonstration effect of deep-slow technology, increase the enthusiasm of farmers to participate in the implementation of deep-rooted operations, and expand the area of ​​deep-seating. Vigorously popularize mechanized conservation tillage techniques, assemble technical routes and operating modes for supporting cost-saving and efficiency enhancement, bring into play the role of project demonstration areas and radiation, expand the area for promotion, and realize the overall advancement of the whole village, the whole town, and the whole county. Relying on the construction of the demonstration area, we will accelerate the promotion of regional agricultural technology, consolidate and develop a number of demonstration zones that are supported by mechanization and reflect regional features, and promote potato mechanized cultivation and processing technologies in Chengde and Zhangjiakou. Promotion of rice mechanized planting techniques in Tangshan, Qinhuangdao and Chengde. In Pei, Shijiazhuang, Baoding, Tangshan and other places to promote peanut planting techniques. The promotion of semi-finished sowing, fine sowing, seedling transplanting and water-saving irrigation techniques in the Heilonggang area. In the arid and semi-arid regions, millet mechanized planting technology focusing on “Zhang Zagu” is promoted.
