The success of this year's harvest can be attributed to a combination of factors. Favorable weather conditions in October, the introduction of high-yield and delicious rice varieties, and high-standard farmland construction have all played a part. Efficient cultivation techniques, such as machine transplantation combined with fertilization, have further enhanced productivity.As the ideal time for autumn harvesting is upon us, farmers are reminded not to rely solely on good weather for drying rice. Promptly completing the harvesting process will help avoid potential disruptions due to changing weather patterns and ensure a smooth transition to wheat planting.
