At the same time, traditional pesticides have been replaced with environmentally friendly pesticides, and bio-organic fertilizers have replaced chemical fertilizers, coupled with complete and high-standard irrigation and drainage infrastructure, achieving sustainable development of agriculture.
Farmer Gu Zhendong has been planting rice at Tailai Farm for 18 years.
He has achieved a yield of 9,000 kilograms with an output value of over 10,000 yuan per hectare by adopting advanced technologies, such as intelligent oxygen-soaking seedling cultivation, super-sized greenhouses for seedling cultivation, rice transplanters with Beidou navigation for accurate, and efficient fertilization and agricultural drones with different functions.
Tailai has 666.7 hectares of arable land planted with rice this year and it is expected to see a yield of over 7,200 kg per hectare.
