Fu Xiaolong, an official from the local agricultural bureau, noted that the county-wide average yield last year was around 548 kilograms per mu, while Hongtai took the lead.
The achievement stems from advanced technologies applied throughout the production cycle, from breeding to planting.
A shift from a six-row seeding layout to a three-row configuration per mulch strip in the field has improved ventilation and light access.
This, combined with a smart irrigation system powered by an agricultural IoT platform, enables precise water and fertilizer based on crop demand, absorption and reducing waste.
