Dezhou City, Shandong Province to Build a Million Mu of Maize High Standard Demonstration

In view of the limited space for yield increase of wheat yield and the large increase in production space for corn yield, the city of Dezhou, Shandong Province will focus on the implementation of a demonstration project of high-yielding corn production of a million mu this year to deepen the potential for corn yield increase and achieve an average yield of more than 650 kg per project area. It is 8% higher than the average yield of the whole city, and strives to reach 680 kilograms, which is 13% higher than the average yield of the city.

According to the Dezhou City Government's "Opinions on Deepening the Establishment of a High-yielding System to Strive to Ten Thousands of Increased Food Production," the city will apply the corn to the demonstration project area. The government-sponsored thoroughbreds are uniformly purchased by the government, and the municipal finance allocates 10 million yuan in the departmental budget for 2012. The financial departments of counties (cities, districts) allocate 30 million yuan in superior food award funds, and are subsidized by the Central Government’s fine corn varieties. The project is bundled and used for free and uniform.

This year, Dezhou set up the establishment of high-quality grain-based food production as the primary task for the work of agriculture, rural areas, and farmers, strengthen organizational leadership and comprehensive coordination, strictly implement the county-level leadership package project, the agricultural sector package service, the area of ​​township and township governments, and relevant departments and packages. Implementing the responsibility mechanism for maintaining output of units and intensifying efforts to promote the establishment of integrated production and high-yield production and seize the “ten-fold increase” of grain into the 2012 (annual) comprehensive assessment system for counties (districts, districts). If you do not perform your duties properly, you must strictly pursue the responsibilities of those responsible.

In order to further promote the establishment of integrated high-yield projects, the city will integrate project funds for high-yield food production, further improve the level of food equipment and production conditions, and drive more than 80% of the city's grain fields into high-yield and stable production fields. At the same time, we will further improve and improve the scientific and technological support system for food increase, promote the “five-unified” production model, and increase the intensity of disaster prevention and reduction systems. The "Opinions" clearly stated that this year the city will ensure that grain sown area will be stable at more than 14 million mu, and the total grain output will be more than 16 billion kilograms, which will increase by more than 2%, and achieve "ten-fold increase in grain production."
