- Abstract
The long term field scale experiment was performed for six years since 2008 in West-Liaoning Province, P. R. China. Furrows were made in autumn using deep-plough, straws were put into opened furrows using straw returning machine, and then the furrows were buried by soil back-filling plough and forming to ridges. The ridges were mulched by plastic film while seeding maize in spring. Deep furrowing action has led to broken plough pan, improved soil fertility through straw and fertilizer deep burial, reduced soil water evaporation because of plastic film mulching, and less soil disturbance by punch seeding. These interventions have helped in achieving greater yields because of improved soil-water-fertility condition. Mechanized planting reduces labor, increases efficiency, cuts down cost and improves profit. The mechanical operation through technology of burying straw at greater depths and planting maize by double line at one width ridge gap has achieved and the detailed procedure is presented in this paper. The necessary machinery selection and matching were also accomplished. Technology demonstration at BAJIA farm of Jianping County of China as an example was analyzed and the performance was tested by taking all inputs. The overall result showed increased net income of 7290 YUAN per hectare.
