Machine-transplanted early rice yields a bumper harvest, with strong momentum for mechanization promotion
Despite being affected by prolonged continuous low temperatures, overcast and rainy weather, and insufficient sunlight, the machine-transplanted early rice at Datonghu Farm of Hunan State Farms still achieved a bumper harvest. Expert inspection data show that the average yield of machine-transplanted early rice in the area was 532.8 kg per mu. At the same time, more than 110,000 mu of machine-transplanted early rice in the area

Cooperative farms boost returns: eight people cultivate over a thousand mu of land
A Ministry of Agriculture investigation team that stays grounded and observes people's conditions went to Jiangsu for research for more than half a month, conducting an in-depth study of the rice and wheat planting and management model in Dianzhan Village, Chengxiang Town, Taicang City. Dianzhan Village has a total of 1350 mu of rice and wheat farmland, all of which has been transferred to the village collective, farmed by 8 professional farmers

Rice yields in demonstration zones increase by about 10%, China Academy of Agricultural Sciences technology integration shows results
The China Academy of Agricultural Sciences carried out an integrated experiment on high-yield and high-efficiency comprehensive rice technology this year. During interviews, reporters learned that the experimental results are encouraging, with yields about 10% higher than conventional planting. Chen Mengshan, Party Secretary of the China Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said that in recent years, the growth rate of China's grain yield per unit area has been declining, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to raise yields.

High grain yields cannot be achieved without the clustered, coordinated approach
October, the harvest season. Across the vast fields of Henan and Shandong, combine harvesters, tillage tractors and grain-hauling tricycles shuttle back and forth through the fields and along the paths, while flocks of foraging birds rise and settle from time to time... At the field edges and on the drying grounds, farmers work the land while chatting

Agriculture boosts ecotourism, one part investment yields three parts harvest
Having just graduated from university last year, Xiao Liu came alone to work in Zhongshan. New to the place with few friends, she often stayed at home and did not know much about the city where she worked, not even what local specialties it had. This spring, Xiao Liu joined a one-day tour organized by her workplace, visiting the Zhan Garden in the South District and also going to the nearby Xujing Agricultural Science and Technology Park to pick fruit and have a barbecue. Only then did she discover that so many delicious fruits are produced in Zhongshan's orchards, and that this place not only has a beautiful urban environment but also has countryside with an even more distinctive charm. Her colleague Sister Mei told her that this orchard in the South District is not far from the city center, and that she also often invites friends and brings her children here to play, where they can eat delicious, pollution-free fruit and let the children get close to nature.

China's Grain Output Rises Year After Year, Yet Supply and Demand Remain Tight: How Much Room Is There to Raise Yields Per Unit Area?
At present, the national winter wheat autumn sowing is drawing to a close. China's wheat has enjoyed bumper harvests for many consecutive years, yet stable development still faces some weak links. Under the rigid constraints of land and water resources, declining comparative returns from planting, and the impact of the international market, how can China's wheat achieve stable production and increased output?

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

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.

New gene discovered that boosts super rice yields
The super rice germplasm innovation team of the China National Rice Research Institute under the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, in collaboration with the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and other institutions, successfully isolated and cloned from the Zhejiang local large-grain variety "Baodali" a gene that can significantly increase super rice yields
