The whole process of rice cultivation is mechanized. Are there any advantages and disadvantages to this?

As we all know, China is a country with a large population and a large rice country. When it comes to rice planting, we will definitely think of an old man, that is Grandpa Yuan Longping. Yuan Longping appeared in our textbooks when we were very young. We all know that China is able to have enough food for everyone because of others. He is China's "father of hybrid rice" and is also known as "Paddy Field". The Watcher in?. Yes, Yuan Longping is the founder and leader in the field of hybrid rice research. He is committed to the research, application and promotion of hybrid rice technology. He created the super hybrid rice technology system? It is precisely because of hybrid rice that Chinese people can Eat enough in just a few decades.

The reason why my country can achieve mass production of rice is not only because of the hybrid rice system, but also has a great connection with the mechanization of rice planting. So, what are the pros and cons of mechanization of rice cultivation?

First, let’s talk about the advantages of mechanization. Do you think today’s farmers are still bent over planting rice seedlings all day with their faces facing the loess and their backs to the sky? Not so long ago. Many farms are already "unmanned farms". Every step required for planting is no longer a manual operation and is replaced by machinery. For example, unmanned rice direct-seeding machines are used for sowing; unmanned helicopters are used for fertilization and pest control. When the harvest is good, harvesters and grain trucks are used to complete the harvest. Isn’t it very convenient? The mechanization of rice cultivation frees human hands and improves people's efficiency. In the past, farmers might only be able to manage a few acres of land per person, but things are different now. As long as you master the technology, you can manage hundreds of acres per person.

Let’s talk about the disadvantages of mechanization. First of all, the profession of farmers in China is still practiced by the elderly in rural areas, so it is generally very difficult to develop mechanized operations because the elderly are not very knowledgeable and educated. Secondly, we have to consider whether some terrains are suitable for mechanization. If the terrain is not very flat, it is not suitable. Therefore, mechanization also has certain limitations.
