Latest methods play vital role in spring farmwork
China DailyWork made easier Agricultural cooperatives and owners of large farms are using machines and smart equipment throughout the entire wheat production process, which has made farmwork more efficient, Wang said. "About 98 percent of the work related to wheat production, from plowing to harvesting, is done by machines," said Xue, adding that such automation has increased yield substantially. Liang Jinlong, an agronomist at Sinochem Agriculture Holdings, said farmers no longer need to sow seeds manually, but can simply lay these evenly printed seed paper sheets in paddies and cover them with plastic film. Yang Xiwen, Party secretary of Xinjian village, Wujian county of Chongqing's Yongchuan district, said, "Compared to manual sowing, seed-printing technology is more precise, saving over 30 percent of seeds and lowering the cost of sowing from 450 yuan per hectare."
