【榆林】发展高效旱作节水农业

Core Viewpoint - Yulin is transforming from a "desert city" to an important "ecological granary" in Shaanxi by developing efficient drought-resistant water-saving agriculture, focusing on technological advancements in water management and irrigation systems [1][4]. Group 1: Agricultural Development - In 2023, Yulin's grain planting area reached 10.99 million mu, ranking first in Shaanxi [1]. - By 2024, the grain yield in Yulin's efficient drought-resistant water-saving agricultural project area is expected to exceed 400 kg per mu [1]. - Yulin plans to implement 597,300 mu of new efficient drought-resistant water-saving agriculture this year [1]. Group 2: Water Management Strategies - Yulin has introduced a five-year action plan to develop efficient drought-resistant water-saving agriculture, focusing on improving water resource utilization efficiency through various measures [4]. - The "four-in-one" drip irrigation project in Yangshikeng Village has been implemented to address water scarcity, combining water storage, solar-powered water lifting, soft water storage, and drip irrigation [5][6]. - The project has resulted in a 30% water saving per mu in Yangshikeng Village, significantly enhancing water resource utilization efficiency [6]. Group 3: Technological Innovations - Yulin is advancing high-standard farmland construction and applying technologies such as membrane drip irrigation and integrated water and fertilizer systems to improve irrigation efficiency [9]. - As of now, a total of 20,000 mu of land has been equipped with intelligent water-saving devices, allowing for precise control of irrigation and fertilization based on soil moisture and crop needs [10]. - The efficient drought-resistant water-saving agricultural project area has achieved an average water saving of 30% and fertilizer saving of 20%, laying a foundation for the national grain production enhancement initiative [10]. Group 4: Economic Impact - The introduction of water-saving technologies has improved corn yield and quality, with local farmers benefiting from using homegrown corn as feed for livestock, leading to higher profits [11][12]. - In Jingbian County, a 10,000 mu facility vegetable base has been established, with products sold nationwide, showcasing the economic benefits of water-saving irrigation technology [13]. - Yulin plans to add 597,300 mu of efficient drought-resistant water-saving agriculture this year, which is expected to save 25 million cubic meters of water and 2,000 tons of fertilizer annually [13].
