Rice Side-Deep Fertilizer Spreader, Saving Costs, Increasing Efficiency and Benefiting the Environment

In order to vigorously promote the new technology of mechanized rice transplanting and simultaneous deep fertilization, and promote the refinement of the entire mechanized production of rice, on the morning of April 15, 2021, the Agricultural Machinery Promotion Station of Xiaogan Municipal Agriculture Bureau held a field meeting on the technology of mechanical transplanting of rice and deep side fertilization in Xiaonan District. Presentation session. Leaders such as Director Zhang of the Xiaogan City Agricultural Machinery Promotion Station and Director Yi of the Xiaonan District Agricultural Machinery Promotion Station came to provide guidance. More than 80 people from relevant township and town agricultural technology extension centers in Xiaonan District and family farms, agricultural machinery cooperatives, and large grain growers participated in the event. At the invitation of the organizer, personnel from Hubei Yongxiang Agricultural Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd., Xiaogan Zoomlion, Xiaogan Kubota and other relevant agricultural machinery companies were present to provide technical support and guarantee.

In recent years, agricultural authorities in various regions have vigorously promoted the testing, demonstration and promotion of side-deep fertilization technology for rice. The rice side-deep fertilization technology can ensure the early growth of rice under the current conditions of low temperature, cold paddy field, and poor drainage; it can ensure the absolute isolation of seedlings and fertilizers, avoid burning the seedlings and prevent fertilizer damage; and it can help reduce the loss of chemical fertilizers (the amount of fertilizer applied can be reduced by about 20%) and increase the utilization rate of chemical fertilizers; compared with traditional planting technology, the side-deep fertilization technology saves labor and time, and has a significant cost-saving and yield-increasing effect (an average yield increase of 10% to 15%); it can also reduce chemical fertilizer residues , reduce agricultural non-point source pollution, reduce environmental pollution such as water quality in rivers and lakes, and protect the ecological environment.
