The 10th Regiment of the First Agricultural Division pioneers a new water-saving technique for dryland rice cultivation with drip irrigation under plastic film
In 2010, the 10th Regiment of the First Agricultural Division of the **Production and Construction Corps used new science and new technology to transform traditional agriculture. Faced with a severe shortage of water resources and its disadvantaged position as a unit downstream of the First Division's water supply, it independently developed new machinery for sowing rice on dryland with drip irrigation under plastic film, which was put into rice production and vigorously promoted by Aral City of the First Division. According to Kong Jun, the First Division's deputy division commander in charge of agriculture, this cultivation model not only saves labor in rice planting but also conserves water resources and farmland costs, helping to increase rice yields and efficiency, and it has opened a new chapter for the Corps' agriculture and livestock farms.

Division of Rice Production Regions in Guangdong and Analysis of the Characteristics of Each Region
Guangdong Province is bordered by the Nanling Mountains to the north and the South China Sea to the south, with vast rice-growing areas; rice is cultivated from tidal fields at sea level to mountain terraces at an elevation of one thousand meters. Guangdong has a monsoon subtropical and tropical climate. The safe growth period for rice is 220-280 days in most places. The rice-growing season is long; for example, in Guangzhou the early rice is generally sown in early March and harvested in mid-July; typical late rice varieties are sown in late June, reach full heading around October 10, and are harvested in mid-November; the "fanqiu" (second cropping of early rice) reaches full heading in early to mid-July. Abundant rainfall and long sunshine hours are all conditions favorable to rice growth.
