The spring comes back to the ground and farming is on the rise, and it is now taking place at a critical time. The agricultural rural department of shandong province recently issued technical guidance on the mechanization of the spring tube of main crops, 2026 (hereinafter referred to as the opinion) to provide scientific guidance for the mechanization of winter wheat, cotton, spring peanuts, potatoes and garlic。
As a result of the fall of the past year, crop field management and seed production were complicated in the spring of 2026. The opinion refined the technical specifications for mechanization of the different crop characteristics and production needs, covering the whole process of tilling, seeding, fertilizing, irrigation, pest and grass-roots control, highlighting classification guidance, precision and discipline to ensure that technical measures are operational and accessible。
In response to winter wheat production, the opinion focused on the technical requirements of mechanical repression and graft, fat-hunting, pest and grass prevention, and scientific irrigation of the four key links. In view of the small size of wheat this year, it is recommended that the option be to operate with a self-propelled crusher, a light-gauge machine or a repressive hoop. Repression is carried out at the right time during the period of return to youth, distinguishing between different types of seedlings, such as fertilized, weak, dry seedlings, etc., and is strictly prohibited from operating during inappropriate periods such as soil wetting and frost. The promotion of multiple methods such as mechanical evaporation, water fertilization integration, drone fertilisation and strict control of fertilization depths and fertilization spacing; prioritization of equipment such as high-efficiency low-risk pesticides and spray sprayers, plant protection drones and other equipment to avoid adverse weather and to regulate the operation of preventive medicines; promotion of water-saving techniques such as low-pressure spraying and drip irrigation, and timely hysterection protection after irrigation, to assist in the sound growth of the plume。
In the direction of cash crop production, the opinions have developed differentiated mechanization techniques for the different production characteristics of cotton, spring peanuts, potatoes and garlic. The production of cotton focuses on mechanical farming and seeding, requiring pre-winter recovery of fragments of undeep agricultural land at depths of not less than 25 cm, seeding with a combination of precision seeding machines, operations at 5 cm temperature stabilization above 15 °c to complete processes such as fertilization, filamentation, etc.; spring peanuts focus on the standardization and regularization of cropping areas, recommending a two-line cropping model, giving priority to multifunctional peanut-repeated seeding machines to ensure depth of seeding and distance; potato production emphasizes the selection of cropping machines to be used in combination operations according to soil conditions, with a reasonable determination of planting density and range, and simultaneous fertilizer application。
