Recently, the reporter saw in the wheat stubble field of Xiao Shiwen, a large planter in Luzhen Village, Guyi Town, Xiangzhou District, that an integrated seeding machine for planting and fertilizer was shuttling back and forth, fertilizing and sowing in one go.
Xiao Shiwen said that the more than 200 acres of sesame fields he planted this year have all used precision seeders equipped with Beidou navigation, which not only saves labor and time, but also makes sesame seedlings even and easy to manage. Xiao Shiwen calculated the account for the reporter, and the yield of sesame seeds he planted this year can reach about 200 catties, and the output value per mu can reach 3,000 yuan according to the market price of 15 yuan per catty.
It is understood that sesame production requires a lot of manpower from planting to harvesting, which once seriously restricted the development of the sesame industry. In recent years, the Xiangzhou District Agricultural Technology Extension Center has improved the level of mechanized production by introducing some excellent sesame varieties such as Yuzhi ND837 and Zhongzhi 75 that are resistant to cracks and consistent in maturity, and the sesame planting in the whole district has gradually developed in the direction of scale.
At present, the sesame planting area in Xiangzhou District has reached more than 80,000 mu, and the mechanization degree of sesame sowing has reached 100%, which has promoted the large-scale development of the sesame industry and made small sesame become an income-increasing industry for farmers.
