Core Viewpoint - The rice planting demonstration area in Huicheng District achieved a yield of 538 kg per mu, indicating a stable increase in production and significant demonstration effects [7][12]. Group 1: Agricultural Practices and Techniques - The rice planting demonstration utilized unified pest control and the "three controls" fertilization technique, resulting in good outcomes [6][7]. - The area under demonstration covers approximately 2,000 mu, primarily planting varieties such as Nanjing Xiang and Huahang Xiangyin [10][11]. Group 2: Production Statistics - Preliminary statistics indicate that Huicheng District's spring grain planting area for 2025 is 89,083 mu, an increase of 150 mu compared to 2024, with early rice planting covering 70,033 mu [12][13]. - The local agricultural department's promotion of good varieties and methods has led to increased acceptance among rice growers [16]. Group 3: Economic Impact - The adoption of high-yield rice varieties has improved farmers' income, enhancing their enthusiasm for rice cultivation [17]. - The rice harvesting in Huicheng District is expected to conclude between late July and early August [19].

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the implementation of the "552" work method in Maoming City, which enhances agricultural production management services, helping farmers reduce costs and increase income while promoting high-quality agricultural development [8][46]. Group 1: Agricultural Production Management - The "552" work method addresses issues such as fragmented farmland and labor shortages by improving agricultural production management services [8][46]. - Since the implementation of the "Hundred Thousand Project," Maoming has selected 8 main agricultural production management service entities, covering an area of 29,000 acres for early rice management services [9][10]. - The service entities provide unified management in terms of crop variety selection, fertilizer and water management, pest control, technical guidance, and machinery operations, transforming scattered farmland into standardized production bases [15][36]. Group 2: Economic Benefits and Innovations - The introduction of high-yield, resilient rice varieties has led to an increase in yield by 40-60 kg per acre, with an estimated profit increase of approximately 120 yuan per acre [17][38]. - The service entities have optimized fertilizer and water management, reducing costs by about 10% through centralized procurement of agricultural materials [19]. - A "rural revitalization loan" product has been launched to support farmers in purchasing large agricultural machinery, enhancing production service capabilities [33]. Group 3: Focus on Small Farmers - The agricultural production management in Maoming not only aims to increase grain yield but also focuses on serving small farmers, with 1.8 million small farmers benefiting from the management services [46][48]. - In 2024, the area under agricultural production management is expected to reach 70,000 acres, with a projected increase in rice yield of 40-60 kg per acre [46]. - The service for small farmers accounts for 61.36% of the total, providing effective integration into modern agriculture [48].
