The golden countryside is full of waves, and the agricultural machinery is busy harvesting wheat. At present, 10,000 acres of high-quality wheat in Qingshui County are golden in patches, heavy ears of wheat are swaying with the breeze, combine harvesters are shuttling back and forth in the wheat field, and a busy "abundant" picture of summer harvest is slowly unfolding.
On July 1, the yield measurement expert group composed of technical personnel from Qingshui County Seed Station and Qingshui County Agricultural Technology Extension Station conducted on-site harvest and yield measurement of Lantian series winter wheat varieties in Qingshui County Lantian series new variety breeding base.
Walking into the field, the golden wheat waves are rolling with the wind, and the wheat ears that have entered the harvest period are large and full, and the wheat fragrance is overflowing. Not far away, a wheat combine harvester shuttles in the rolling wheat waves to ensure that the summer grain is "returned to the warehouse", and the scene is a busy harvest scene.
The experts shuttled through the fields, in strict accordance with the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs's "National Grain High Yield Creation Yield Measurement and Acceptance Measures (Trial)" in the wheat yield measurement and acceptance methods, by measuring the actual harvest area, weighing the fresh weight of grains, measuring the moisture content, and before harvesting the combine harvester for clearance inspection. The 3.47 acres of Lantian No. 37 wheat planted in the wheat breeding base of Zhuyingtaiyuan in Dongguan Village, Yongqing Town, were harvested and measured on the spot. It is estimated that Lantian No. 37 wheat is 537.1kg/mu, reaching the high yield level of wheat planting in cold and arid areas this year.
"Today's on-site measurement of Lantian No. 37 wheat in Zhuyingtai Plateau, Qingshui County, from the measurement results just now, the yield is good. Last year's planting was accompanied by rain that affected the quality of the planting, and there was little rain in the winter and spring, so we were able to achieve such a yield, and the results are very satisfying. Lu Qinglin, director of the Qingshui County Wheat Experimental Station of the Wheat Research Institute of the Gansu Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said.
It is reported that wheat yield measurement in the field is an important way to evaluate the good methods of wheat planting and estimate the yield, and it can also explore and summarize the best sowing time, sowing amount, fertilization and tillage methods of wheat, and grasp the main factors affecting wheat yield.
The popularization and application of Lantian series wheat has provided a large number of improved wheat varieties for Qingshui County. At present, Lantian wheat has more than 60% of the planting area in Qingshui County, and has become the main wheat variety for farmers to increase production and income.
