Significant soil improvement results have been achieved through the transformation of large areas of saline alkali land into high-yield fields
CCTV News: Among the over 330 million acres of winter wheat in China, there are some special wheat plots such as seed fields and saline alkali lands, which also play an important role in ensuring food security. How is the harvest this year? Look at the report sent back by the reporter.
The wheat seed field area in Wen County, Henan Province has remained stable at 300000 acres throughout the year, accounting for nearly one tenth of the total wheat seed base area in the province. The rainy and cloudy weather has passed, and Wen County is organizing machines to seize the opportunity to harvest.
Li Xiaobing, a grain grower in Wen County, Henan Province: We have transferred 2000 acres of land this year, and all we grow are seed wheat, which is one cent higher than the market price. We have signed an agreement with the seed company where we plant, mainly responsible for planting and management.
Li Xiaobing told reporters that after the wheat matures, the local seed industry company provides harvesters and transport vehicles for operation. From harvesting in the field to entering the enterprise's warehouse, the entire process of wheat does not land, which eliminates the intermediate links of drying, storing, and selling grain, and adds an insurance for saving grain and reducing losses.
At present, wheat on over one million acres of saline alkali land in Dongying, Shandong is also being harvested. Since 2021, while strengthening the breeding of saline alkali land, the local government has invested 328 million yuan to implement 20 land improvement projects, improving over 10000 acres of saline alkali land.
Fu Hongjun, the person in charge of the implementation of the comprehensive improvement project for saline alkali land in Lijin County, Shandong Province: Look at this wheat field, it looks no different from other wheat fields. In fact, we have done a lot of work underground. By excavating deep plowing nets and laying hidden pipes, the salt content has gradually decreased to around 2 ‰, and now the wheat is growing very well.
