Garlic yields a net profit of 1500 yuan per mu, higher than corn
Recently, the Price Bureau of Lanling County conducted a survey on the 2015 autumn grain production, procurement and returns. The survey shows that over the past three years, garlic planting returns in Lanling County: each mu produces 2000 jin of garlic and 1200 jin of garlic scapes. The planting cost is 5100 yuan (including family labor and the imputed rent of self-owned land).

Trial soybean yields increase by over 10%, CAAS integrated technology proves effective
A reporter recently learned from the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences that the green yield-increasing and efficiency-enhancing soybean technology model carried out by the academy this year in the Huang-Huai-Hai region has achieved remarkable results, with yields increasing by 11.8% compared with the control group. It is understood that this model integrates 8 key technologies including precision sowing with no-till wheat straw mulching.

2015 Autumn Grain Harvest Approaching: Manage Well to Boost Yields
Editor's note: Due to the abnormal climate this year, with drought and little rain early on and continuous rain later, the seedling conditions of autumn grain crops, especially dryland grain crops, vary greatly, making crop management considerably more difficult, creating conditions for the occurrence of pests and diseases, and proving rather unfavorable to crop growth. In response

No Let-Up in Efforts to Secure Autumn Grain Production: Ministry of Agriculture Goes All Out to Ensure Stable Grain Output and Increased Yields
As the saying goes, the 15th day of the seventh month determines drought or flood, and the 15th day of the eighth month determines the harvest. At present, we are in the critical period for autumn grain yield formation and the decisive stage of field management. The Ministry of Agriculture convened a meeting to make special arrangements for late-stage autumn grain management. Vice Minister of Agriculture Yu Xinrong emphasized that all localities

No-till farming yields are low, and the conservation strategy faces a crisis
Compared with conventional tillage systems, no-till often leads to lower output. However, no-till has still shown yield gains in dry regions. No-till farming, a key strategy based on conservation agriculture, can prevent conventional tillage from damaging the soil, yet it may not offer hope for boosting crop yields in most parts of the world.

Rising Temperatures Reduce Wheat Yields: It Is Not Too Late to Breed New Varieties
If adaptive measures are not taken, for every 1°C rise in temperature in the future, global wheat production could fall by 6%, which would cause a worldwide reduction of 42 million tonnes, equivalent to 1/4 of the current global wheat trade volume. In feeding the global population, wheat plays
