Rice seedling raising is an important part of rice yield and harvest. Recently, in the centralized seedling raising point of Laohekou Guoqi Agricultural Machinery Professional Cooperative located in Huangzhuang Village, Xianrendu Town, Laohekou City, a rice seedling raising line is operating. With the click sound of the machine, the seedling tray has completed the processes of dividing the tray, covering the soil, watering, sowing, applying pesticides, and covering the soil at one time through the seedling raising equipment.
Compared with manual seedling raising, factory seedling raising is not affected by the weather, which greatly simplifies the cumbersome procedures of manual seedling raising, and can make 800 seedling trays in 1 hour, which can meet the planting needs of more than 40 acres of fields, and greatly improve the seedling raising capacity.
The socialized service of the cooperative provides one-stop service for rice production, and the whole process of mechanization has been realized from seedling raising, transplanting to harvesting and drying.
It is understood that the city's agricultural machinery center sent agricultural machinery technology to the countryside in the spring, mainly to improve the level of mechanization and socialization of rice production. In the future, the Municipal Agricultural Machinery Center will also cooperate with the professional and technical personnel of agricultural machinery in the county (city) district to carry out seedling raising and machine transplanting technical services in agricultural machinery cooperatives and large farmers.
In recent years, the city has continuously strengthened the promotion of agricultural machinery technology, encouraged large grain growers to build factory seedling raising centers, promoted rice facility mechanized seedling raising, improved the rate of machine transplanting, and actively promoted the whole process of mechanized production of rice seedling raising, planting, pest control, harvesting and drying, and firmly guarded the "grain bag" with scientific and technological strength. At present, the rice planting area of our city is about 3.5 million mu, and the degree of mechanization has reached 50%.
