2025-03-23

In the past few days, Liaojiang town of Zixing city has actively guided agricultural cooperatives to carry out concentrated early rice seedling cultivation during the agricultural season, so as to improve the organization, intensification, scale and standardization level of early rice seedling cultivation, which will lay a solid foundation for high-yield and abundant harvest of grain throughout the year.

At the Qiangnong Agricultural Machinery Cooperative of Liaojiang town, the automatic rice seedling production line is running efficiently. After filling with substrate, watering and sowing seeds, seedling trays are placed aside for germination. 
 
Pushed by the Municipal Agriculture and Rural Bureau of Zixing city and the cooperative’s order-oriented production, the greenhouse rice seedling raising work in the town started 4 days earlier than usual this year, injecting strong momentum into spring plowing and production.
 
In 2022, Liaojiang Town began to implement centralized seedling cultivation in greenhouses. 
 
This year, the town has continued to expand the construction area of seedling greenhouses, building three centralized seedling greenhouses in Liaojiang Village, Dongxing Village, and Yangtian Village, with a total area of 12,000 square meters. 
 
The cooperative provides advanced seedling cultivation for large growers through seedling greenhouses, and offers full process technical guidance, which leaves sufficient time for subsequent late rice production. 
 
In addition, the Municipal Agriculture and Rural Bureau distributes high-quality early rice seeds to farmers free of charge, and provides subsidies for ordinary early rice centralized seedling cultivation based on the cultivable field area according to relevant policies. 
 
At present, three seedling greenhouses in Liaojiang Town are raising seedlings in batches, and it is expected to provide seedlings for 3,800 mu (about 253.33 hectares) of land. The first batch of rice seedlings is expected to be transplanted in early April.
