Sichuan wheat area is the first area in China to harvest sickle on a large scale.

Sichuan wheat area is the first area in China to harvest sickles on a large scale. On the same day, Sichuan's large-scale green, high-quality and efficient wheat production Dayi demonstration zone and Chongzhou demonstration zone simultaneously carried out demonstration and acceptance of 100 mu. "The result of production measurement is that the average yield per mu of Chongzhou demonstration field is 5 16.9 kg, and that of Dayi demonstration field is 507.5 kg." When Yu, the leader of the acceptance expert group and researcher of Chengdu Institute of Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, announced the results of yield measurement, the faces of the experts and large grain growers present were filled with joy. This yield is much higher than the average yield of wheat per mu in Chengdu in 202 1 year, which is 3 15 kg.

In May, the northern wheat area was still grouting, and the scholarly land was golden with the wind, and the Sichuan wheat area ushered in the return of grain. At present, large-scale wheat harvesting in Sichuan has started from the south and the north. In 2023, the total sown area of wheat in Sichuan was about 8.805 million mu, slightly higher than last year, accounting for nearly 60% of the sown area in southwest China.

To build a higher-level "Tianfu Granary" in the new era, Sichuan wheat is ready to go. In southern Sichuan, relying on good policies, large grain growers planted "COFCO" on the former "barren hills and slopes" and abandoned land in Dongxing District and Zizhong County of Neijiang City, and the wheat planting area resumed growth. In Chengdu Plain, relying on the advantages of National Modern Agricultural Industrial Park and Dujiangyan Irrigation District, Guanghan City broke the record of 600 kilograms of wheat per mu in Southwest China for the first time last year, and took the lead in the province by using new varieties and technologies. In northern Sichuan, Zhao Zhendong, an academician of China Academy of Engineering and a famous wheat breeding expert who visited Sichuan many times, praised the wheat breeding and production in Sichuan.

On the one hand, the early harvest of wheat in Sichuan is influenced by the climate characteristics in southwest China, on the other hand, it benefits from the strong wheat research team in Sichuan Province. "The high yield of wheat in Sichuan is achieved in low light areas, and the growth period is only 180 days." Zhao Zhendong said that the growing period of wheat in Henan, Shandong and other places is more than 220 days, while that in foreign countries is more than 300 days. It shows that the breeding of multi-resistant wheat and synthetic wheat in Sichuan has reached the international leading level.

Tang, a post scientist of the national wheat industrial technology system and a researcher at the Crop Research Institute of the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said that through the multi-point investigation in the province, the wheat color was even and clean, indicating that the occurrence of pests and diseases was very light this year. In addition, this year, the flowering period of wheat is advanced, the filling time is prolonged, the grain weight will not be low, and the yield is expected to rise steadily.
