Three achievements in rapeseed direct seeders and windrowers pass appraisal
Recently, 3 achievements in rapeseed direct seeders and windrowers led by the research team of the College of Engineering at Huazhong Agricultural University passed appraisal by the Hubei Provincial Department of Science and Technology. Luo Xiwen, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and professor at South China Agricultural University, and Chen Xuegeng, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and researcher at the Xinjiang Academy of Agricultural Reclamation Sciences, served as chairman and vice-chairman of the appraisal committee respectively. Zhu Ming, president of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Engineering Research and Design, and Wang Hanzhong, director of the Oil Crops Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, attended the appraisal meeting. After appraisal, the expert panel concluded that all 3 technologies are at the international advanced level, with some at the international leading level. Experts said that China is a major rapeseed-growing country, yet the level of rapeseed mechanization remains low, and the mechanized sowing level of wheat in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River is 37%, far below the national average of 87%. After the promotion and application of the 3 achievements, rapeseed (including wheat) planting will take a solid step forward on the road to full mechanization.
