新华社乌鲁木齐7月29日电 正值孜然丰收季，新疆精河县的田间地头、养殖场、合作社里，活跃着农牧 业技术人员的身影。他们走村入户，指导村民采收、养殖、加工，助力延伸本地农业产业链。 这一变化，是当地推动农牧业技术人员重心下沉、服务基层的生动体现。中央八项规定精神学习教育开 展以来，精河县农业农村局通过大力整治"文山会海"，精简会议流程、严控发文数量等，让干部得 以"轻装上阵"，深入基层。 今年，精河县一些乡镇首次尝试"棉花+孜然"套种模式。县农业农村机械化发展中心技术服务科科长张 晓虎说："这种模式能在单位面积上实现两季收获，既增加了亩效益，又降低了棉花种植成本。" 为保障套种成功，从4月播种期开始，县农业农村局就组织农技专家深入田间，对播种行距、播种量、 滴灌带和地膜铺设等关键环节进行精准指导。 "我们把开会时间变为下田时间，将更多时间和精力投入到田间服务。"张晓虎说。 在精河县大河沿子镇额勒森陶盖南村的孜然地里，村民苏来满乃正和农技人员一起查看孜然长势。 "多亏了专家手把手教套种技术，还及时指导病虫害防治。"苏来满乃指着饱满的孜然粒高兴地说，"往 年单种棉花操心多，现在加上孜然这一季，算下来每亩能多挣三四百 ...

Core Insights - The Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region's Natural Resources Department and the Xi'an Geological Survey Center have completed a comprehensive soil geochemical survey in southern Xinjiang, covering nearly 210,000 square kilometers over nine years, identifying 54 elements and indicators in the soil [1][2] - A significant finding is the discovery of a "selenium belt" stretching nearly 1,000 kilometers along the southern Tianshan Mountains, with 4.9 million acres of selenium-rich land, including 1.13 million acres of selenium-rich farmland, accounting for 27% of the arable land in southern Xinjiang [1][2] Group 1 - The soil geochemical survey focused on oasis areas, collecting 24,000 data points on nutrient elements, heavy metals, and health-related elements, resulting in the most systematic and spatially precise soil geochemical mapping data for southern Xinjiang to date [1] - The survey identified that 10% of the certified selenium-rich land in China is located in five areas of southern Xinjiang, totaling nearly 300,000 acres [1] - In addition to selenium, the survey found that calcium and magnesium-rich lands cover 99.3% and 91.8% of the oasis area, respectively, while molybdenum-rich land accounts for 20.2%, primarily in the Aksu-Kuerle region [1] Group 2 - Based on over 2,000 samples of plants and animals, the survey identified 22 types of selenium-rich products, including three grain crops (wheat, rice, corn), seven fruits and vegetables (fresh chili, fresh tomato), three livestock products (eggs, chicken, beef), and two spices (garlic, cumin) [2] - The survey data covers 97% of the arable land in southern Xinjiang, with all farmland classified as alkaline soil, of which 33.4% is strongly alkaline; 99.8% of the soil is classified as priority protection clean soil [2] - The soil nutrient evaluation indicates that the total phosphorus and potassium content is primarily moderate to rich, with 908,100 acres of high-quality farmland and 2,102,700 acres of suitable soil for green food production identified, mainly in the Yarkand Basin, Kuqa Basin, along the Aksu River, and western Kashgar [2]

Core Viewpoint - The introduction of a specialized cumin harvesting machine in China significantly enhances the efficiency of cumin collection, addressing labor-intensive challenges and improving productivity in the cumin industry [3][4][5]. Group 1: Industry Overview - Cumin is a popular seasoning for grilled dishes and is primarily harvested in regions like Xinjiang and Gansu during its peak harvest season [1][2]. - The cultivation area for cumin in China has been expanding annually, but traditional manual harvesting methods are inefficient and costly, limiting industry growth [3]. Group 2: Technological Advancements - A newly developed cumin harvesting machine has been tested, demonstrating high efficiency with a daily operational capacity of up to 100 acres and a fruit loss rate of no more than 2.5%, marking an efficiency increase of nearly 100 times compared to manual harvesting [4]. - The machine features innovative design elements tailored to the unique characteristics of cumin plants, such as low cutting capabilities and flexible conveying systems to minimize fruit loss [4]. Group 3: Future Developments - The current harvesting machine is designed for flat sowing methods, with ongoing research to develop machines suitable for intercropping methods, indicating a commitment to further technological advancements in the cumin harvesting process [5].

Group 1 - The Mughal Empire was established by Babur, who defeated Ibrahim Lodi in 1526, marking the beginning of a new dynasty in India [1][6] - Babur was a multifaceted individual, known not only as a warrior but also as a poet and gardener, with a deep appreciation for Persian culture [1][2] - Babur's initial impressions of India were mixed, noting both its vast resources and the lack of certain comforts and social structures [3][5] Group 2 - Babur's culinary experiences in India included a variety of fruits, with mango being his favorite, and he introduced several gardening practices from Central Asia [5][6] - The Mughal court under Akbar was characterized by a rich and diverse culinary culture, with a structured kitchen and a wide array of dishes influenced by various cultures [8][10] - Akbar's dietary practices included a ban on beef to respect Hindu sentiments, and he promoted a blend of different religious and cultural influences in his court [9][20] Group 3 - Jahangir, Akbar's son, continued the culinary traditions of the Mughal court, favoring rich dishes and maintaining a focus on nature and gardens [22][23] - Aurangzeb, Jahangir's son, adopted a more austere lifestyle, emphasizing vegetarianism and religious piety, which contrasted sharply with his predecessors [24][25] - The common people's diet in India during this period was primarily vegetarian, reflecting the agricultural challenges and socio-economic disparities of the time [25][26]
