A variety of agricultural machinery plays a key role in the full mechanization of tobacco and rice cultivation in hilly areas. The following is a detailed introduction:
Land Preparation Machinery
Small Crawler Deep Tillage Machines: Designed specifically for hilly and mountainous tobacco fields, these machines are capable of deep plowing and improving soil structure.
For example, the small crawler deep tillage machine jointly developed by Fang County effectively solves the problem of deep plowing in hilly and mountainous tobacco fields.
Combined Rotary Tillage and Ridging Machines: These machines perform rotary tillage and ridging simultaneously, improving land preparation efficiency and are suitable for land preparation in tobacco-rice rotational cropping areas.
Planting and Transplanting Machinery
Tobacco Transplanters: These machines enable mechanized transplanting of tobacco leaves, ensuring that transplanting depth and plant spacing meet agronomic requirements, improving transplanting efficiency and quality.
For example, Fang County invited companies to conduct on-site selection and verification of tobacco transplanting machinery to identify transplanter models suitable for the area.
Rice Transplanters: These include intelligent high-speed transplanters and intelligent, orderly rice seedling throwers. These machines improve rice transplanting efficiency and are suitable for working on small plots of land in hilly and mountainous areas.
Self-propelled punching and transplanting machine (Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Agricultural Mechanization Service Center):
Developed to meet the agronomic requirements of well-cellar transplanting in hilly tobacco fields and address the complex terrain, this machine has overcome numerous technical challenges, achieving full mechanization of the transplanting process in hilly tobacco fields.
A single machine boasts an efficiency of 1.25-2 mu/hour.
Field Management Machinery
Plant Protection Drones: They efficiently spray pesticides and fertilizers, providing pest and disease control and fertilization for tobacco and rice, with an efficiency of 200-300 mu/day, becoming the primary method of plant protection in tobacco and rice fields.
Topping and Bud Suppressing Machines: These include small backpack-type topping and bud suppressing machines, which can perform topping and bud suppressant application in one operation, reducing labor intensity and improving tobacco quality.
Trenching and Earthing Machines (Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Agricultural Mechanization Service Center): Multifunctional trenching and earthing machines can be used for trenching and earthing in tobacco and rice fields, improving soil aeration and promoting root growth.
Integrated Fertilizer and Water Machine: Enables precise fertilization and irrigation, improves water and fertilizer utilization efficiency, and reduces labor intensity.
Harvesting and Transportation Machinery
Crawler Grain Combine Harvester: Suitable for paddy field operations in hilly and mountainous areas, it enables mechanized rice harvesting and reduces harvest losses.
Collecting Stalk Puller and Crusher: Designed specifically for hilly tobacco growing areas, it combines rooting and rhizomes, stalk pulling, orderly crushing, and efficient collection, addressing the low efficiency of traditional manual stalk pulling and the difficulty of handling stalk residue.
Field Track Conveyor: Addresses the transportation challenges of tobacco and rice production in hilly and mountainous areas, enabling the transport of fertilizers, pesticides, agricultural products, and other materials within the field, improving transportation efficiency and reducing labor intensity.
Post-harvest Processing Machinery
Tobacco Arranging and Loading Machines: These automated production lines achieve an 18-second tobacco stalk arrangement and can fully load a flue-curing barn in two hours, effectively reducing labor intensity and improving the efficiency of tobacco leaf preparation prior to curing.
Grain dryer: used to dry the harvested rice to reduce losses such as mildew caused by moisture, and ensure the quality and storage safety of the rice.
