New technology applied in farming in E China

STORY: New technology applied in farming in E China DATELINE: June 17, 2022 LENGTH: 00:01:31 LOCATION: HEFEI, China CATEGORY: TECHNOLOGY SHOTLIST: 1. animation of precise seeding technology STORYLINE: Precise seeding technology is used in wheat production in east China's Anhui Province. There was a misconception that the more seeds you planted, the greater germination you would get. With the application of the new technology, farmers get higher output with fewer seeds. Furthermore, soil testing and formulated fertilization play important roles in increasing crop yield. While wheat could not grow well without chemical fertilizers, the required amount of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium varies from field to field. By conducting soil testing, different fertilizer formulas are customized. China has used drones to prevent Fusarium head blight, dubbed "cancer to the wheat," in an effort to ensure wheat production. Along with the application of technologies such as deep ploughing, seed coating, and diseas
