Recently, Chang Zhiyuan, a special science and technology correspondent stationed in Zeya Town, invited Dr. Yu Chen Tiao and Dr. Song Jiayu from Zhejiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences and his party to go to Yushan Village to carry out the “Special Training on Cultivation Techniques of High-quality Rice, Water-saving and Drought-resistant Rice” to promote the iteration of new rice varieties in Zeya Mountain and the improvement of cultivation techniques. More than 30 farmers and agricultural technicians participated in the training, and farmers actively interacted with experts, and the training achieved good results.
At the meeting, Chang Zhiyuan, the science and technology correspondent, first thanked the participants for coming, and introduced the experts present and the theme of this training. He stressed that the science and technology correspondent is a member of the grassroots and should adhere to the working method of coming from the masses to the masses. Farmers have needs, problems and difficulties in agricultural production. Science and technology commissioners must go to the front line in time to solve problems for farmers, solve farmers’ agricultural difficulties, be a disseminator of agricultural science and technology, and be a guardian of agricultural production.
Secondly, Dr. Yu Chen Tiao introduced the concept, existing problems, variety selection and cultivation techniques of high-quality rice in detail. Among them, the field management experience of high-quality rice was strongly recognized by the participants. He pointed out that intermittent irrigation and reasonable field drying are beneficial to rice growth, but they are also affected by time control and field drying degree. Ms. Pan, a large grain grower, said: “It turned out that the drying field was not in place and there were more ineffective tillers in rice. No wonder the yield could not go up.”
Dr. Song Jiayu focused on water-saving and drought-resistant rice, from the problems faced by rice production at present to the great development of water-saving and drought-resistant rice and its utilization, which provided new ideas for farmers in mountainous areas. Last year, there was no precipitation for a long time in Zeya mountain area of Wenzhou due to continuous high temperature weather, which led to water shortage in many fields, reduced production and even no harvest in some rice fields. Upland rice has the characteristics of less water demand, which can solve the dilemma of water shortage and leakage in some fields in mountainous areas and give farmers more choices.
Finally, Ni Riqun, the stationmaster of Wenzhou Seed Station, made a summary of the meeting. This agricultural technology training went to the countryside when needed, and effectively promoted the healthy and orderly development of agriculture in Zeya Yushan Village. I hope that after the meeting, everyone can actively keep in touch and continue to promote the development of Zeya high-quality rice and water-saving and drought-resistant rice, which will bring tangible benefits to Zeya Mountain Area and actually increase farmers’ income.
