科技助力让“三夏”插上“智慧的翅膀” 田间地头一片忙碌景象

Core Viewpoint - The agricultural sector has made significant progress in wheat harvesting and summer planting, with mechanization and digitalization playing key roles in enhancing efficiency and productivity [1][3][5]. Group 1: Wheat Harvesting Progress - As of June 18, the wheat harvesting progress reached 96%, indicating the completion of large-scale mechanized harvesting for this year's "Three Summers" [1]. - The harvesting began on May 15 in the southwestern wheat region and expanded nationwide by May 26, with the process being 2 to 3 days faster than usual [1]. - In Anhui province, 160,000 high-performance combine harvesters were deployed, achieving a peak daily harvest of over 7 million mu, which is 3 days ahead of last year [3]. Group 2: Mechanization and Technology - The dominant model for cross-regional harvesting this year is the 9-10 kg/s large feeding capacity combine harvester, which has improved efficiency by over 30% compared to five years ago, with an average daily harvest area of 80 mu per machine [3]. - In Hebei, 27,000 low-loss, high-efficiency combine harvesters were introduced, with an expected average mechanical harvesting loss rate of less than 1% [7]. Group 3: Digitalization in Agriculture - Henan province is advancing the entire process of "plowing, planting, managing, and harvesting" through digital platforms that provide real-time information on machinery deployment and operation [5]. - In Shandong, 280,000 agricultural machinery operators and technicians are engaged in operations, utilizing smart machinery equipped with navigation systems [5]. Group 4: Summer Planting Initiatives - The summer planting and management processes are progressing steadily, with significant efforts in rice planting in Hunan and Jiangxi provinces [9][11]. - In Jiangxi, the introduction of precision seeding machinery is expected to reduce seed costs by approximately 10% [11]. - In Jiangsu, new agricultural power supply systems have been installed to support the charging of modern farming equipment during the summer planting season [13]. Group 5: Weather Impact and Recommendations - The Central Meteorological Observatory forecasts significant rainfall from June 18 to 20, advising farmers to expedite planting and ensure proper seedling management to enhance crop quality [17].
