Talking about the Limiting Factors and Countermeasures of Spring Wheat Development in our Province 2
2. Countermeasures for Wheat Production in Our Province
Currently, wheat production in our province faces several challenges, including a wide variety of strains, disorderly planting, and mixed cropping. This leads to problems such as poor quality, high costs, and low profitability. The area dedicated to high-quality special wheat is limited, and there is no well-established system of cultivation techniques that fully support its development. To address these issues, it's essential to carry out structural adjustments in wheat varieties. Increasing the proportion of high-quality wheat will not only improve market competitiveness but also create a sustainable environment for the development of wheat production.
The foundation for developing high-quality wheat lies in increasing overall production. At present, there is a shortage of hard, high-protein, strong-gluten wheat needed for premium bread and soft, low-protein, weak-gluten wheat required for high-quality biscuits. Many intermediate types dominate the market. Therefore, the focus should be on high-quality, high-yield, and stable wheat varieties that can adapt to different ecological conditions and processing needs. It's crucial to scientifically plan and effectively use these high-quality varieties to meet diverse demands.
2.1 Further Improve Quality and Increase Variety Potential
Our province lacks high-quality hard wheat with high protein and strong gluten, as well as soft wheat with low protein and weak gluten. Most hard wheat varieties are not consistently high in protein, while soft wheat often has poor gluten strength. To address this, we need to accelerate research on wheat quality improvement, focusing on both high-protein strong-gluten and low-protein weak-gluten types. By combining quality zoning with regional planting strategies, we can promote advanced technologies like "nitrogen fertilizer after migration" and late-stage foliar spraying to enhance processing quality and stability. In rural areas, restoring contiguous planting, unifying varieties, and adopting large-scale machinery and modern management practices can significantly boost yield potential and improve field operations standardization.
2.2 Reduce Seed Wheat Costs and Increase Output Benefits
In suitable areas, promoting spring wheat sowing techniques, rational fertilizer and water management, and establishing a reasonable population structure can help increase tiller and grain yield. Breeding and using drought-resistant, low-consumption wheat varieties along with water-saving and balanced fertilization techniques can reduce labor, fertilizer, and pesticide costs. Encouraging no-tillage and compound-type farming methods, as well as applying pesticide adjuvants, will simplify farming processes and raise the technological content of wheat production. This will lead to lower costs and higher returns. Additionally, utilizing non-resource soils and waters can help reduce environmental impact and improve sustainability.
2.3 Leverage Market Forces to Influence Wheat Production, Processing, and Sales
Our province should implement a "high-quality and high-price" grain purchase policy quickly. Using market mechanisms, we can strengthen the role of leading flour companies to better absorb and process real estate wheat. Establishing mutually beneficial contracts between these companies and farmers can help reduce market risks and ensure more stable income for growers.
2.4 Strengthen Development of Special Wheat Flour for Food Products
Milling companies should invest in innovation, using high-quality wheat and advanced technology to produce premium special wheat flour. They should pay attention to quality testing of raw materials and finished products, as well as research into specialized flour formulas. By studying the optimal mix of different wheat or flour combinations and the proper use of food additives, companies can reduce costs, improve product quality, and develop new products tailored to specific food requirements. This will enhance their competitiveness and ensure long-term growth.
