At the second "Ministerial Passage" held on March 8th, Han Jun, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said, "I asked farmers how many pounds of seeds they sowed while working locally. The farmers said, 'I used several thousand seeds.'. Is it true that the days of agricultural production have become increasingly tight, from sowing by weight to now calculating by grain? For a long time, due to factors such as plowing conditions, soil fertility, and seed quality, it has been difficult to control the quality of seeds after sowing. Farmers often use "casting a wide net" and "calculating by weight" to ensure a good harvest. However, this approach also has drawbacks such as high seed costs and low production efficiency. Nowadays, the ability to achieve precise management of agricultural production in China is reflected in the fact that sowing can be calculated on a per grain basis. Behind this, precision seeders that can accurately control the quantity, spacing, row spacing, and depth of sowing are the "great heroes". In recent years, China has vigorously promoted the use of precision seeders, and the current national inventory has exceeded 5.3 million units. At the same time, China has gradually entered the ranks of major countries in the use and production of agricultural machinery. There are nearly 200 million sets of agricultural machinery and equipment, with a total power of 1.137 billion kilowatts, covering more than 4000 products in 32 categories and 72 subcategories. Many farmers have fully tasted the benefits of using agricultural machinery for farming. Everyone's enthusiasm is very high now Ru Zhengang, a deputy to the National People's Congress and professor of the Wheat Research Center of Henan University of Science and Technology, shared his research experience with people.com.cn. His suggestions this year also focus on "new quality productivity in agriculture", hoping to accelerate the transformation of traditional agricultural production to modern, mechanized, and intelligent integrated production through the use of artificial intelligence technology. To maximize the utilization of artificial intelligence in industry, agriculture, and service industries Chen Changsheng, member of the report drafting team and deputy director of the State Council Research Office, said. In addition to advanced agricultural machinery, achieving careful planning in the sowing process also requires good seeds. In recent years, with the continuous implementation of the seed industry revitalization action, the development level of China's seed industry has been improved, and the coverage rate of high-quality crop varieties has exceeded 96%. By taking the seeds harvested in autumn to the south for breeding and selection, and utilizing the warm winter in the south to accelerate the breeding process, China's hybrid rice has gradually increased from 700 kilograms to over 1200 kilograms. It is reported that over 70% of the nearly 30000 new crop varieties developed nationwide are related to southern propagation, and over 80% of rice varieties have been developed through southern propagation. The 'Southern Breeding Silicon Valley' is a major agricultural research platform in China, but the major agricultural research platform for seed industry is not only in Hainan. Gansu has superior natural climate conditions, high seed production yield, and good quality. The production of melons and vegetables here accounts for over 50% of the national seed consumption, the supply of corn seeds accounts for over 60%, and the seed consumption of flowers accounts for 70% of the national seed consumption Ma Zhongming, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and former president of the Gansu Academy of Agricultural Sciences, recounted the "567" of Gansu's seed industry. As a national seed breeding base, the Hexi Corridor in Gansu Province should promote the integrated and coordinated development of southern breeding and northern expansion Ma Zhongming said, "The breeding process will be accelerated through southern breeding, and the new varieties bred will be produced in Gansu and then exported to the whole country and even the world." "The seed industry revitalization action will be deeply implemented, and the role of major agricultural research platforms such as' Southern Silicon Valley 'will be played to speed up the capture of a number of breakthrough varieties." This year, the statement of seed industry revitalization in the No. 1 central document has changed from "accelerating progress" last year to "in-depth implementation", and the seed industry, the foundation of modern agriculture, is expected to be more firmly rooted in the fertile soil for cultivating new agricultural productivity.
