A number of traffic and transportation indicators hit a new high in the first quarter.
In the first quarter of this year, transportation production started well, and a number of transportation indicators reached new highs.
In the first quarter, China’s civil aviation industry completed a total transportation turnover of 34.93 billion tons kilometers, a year-on-year increase of 45.6%.
In terms of passenger transport, the passenger transport volume in the first quarter was close to 180 million passengers, up 37.7% year-on-year, which was the highest in the first quarter of previous years. Among them, the number of international routes was 14.12 million, and the scale recovered to 78% in the same period of 2019.
In terms of freight transportation, the whole industry completed a total of 2.007 million tons of cargo and mail transportation in the first quarter, a year-on-year increase of 34.4%, a record high in the same period of history.
In the first quarter, the supply of railway transport capacity was effectively guaranteed. The national railways run an average of 10486 passenger trains every day, up 15.5% year-on-year; A total of 1.014 billion passengers were sent, with an average of 11.147 million passengers per day, an increase of 28.5% year-on-year. A number of passenger transport indicators have reached the best level in history, and passenger transport services have been upgraded. The 12306 ticketing system was upgraded and expanded, and the standby ticketing function was optimized.

[In the field of hope] Various localities have taken many measures to promote stable grain production and increase production.
All localities have thoroughly implemented grain storage on the ground and grain storage in technology, stabilized the sown area of grain, promoted stable production and increased production, and laid a solid foundation for the annual harvest.
Grain production, cultivated land is fundamental. In Dingbian, Shaanxi Province, the local government is now stepping up the construction of high-standard farmland, so that the farmland that was originally dry and short of water can become a fertile field with "irrigation by drought, drainage by waterlogging and access to roads". At present, more than 430,000 mu of high-standard farmland has been built.
In Lianhua, Jiangxi, small rice transplanters are shuttling back and forth in terraces. Located in Lianhua County of Luoxiao Mountain Range, one third of the farmland belongs to the hillside terraced fields with large drop. In recent years, the local government has made great efforts to integrate these terraces, built tractor ploughs, pushed small agricultural machinery up the mountain and improved agricultural production efficiency. This year, the planting area of early rice in the county has increased by 11% compared with last year.
Science and technology is the key to stable production and increase production. In Chongzhou, Sichuan, the seedling center adopts mechanized and intelligent assembly line cultivation, and it only takes about 3 days for the seedlings to break through the ground. In Xishui, Hubei, the intelligent unmanned rice transplanter can work up to 16 hours a day. This year, 14,000 sets of various agricultural machinery were put into spring ploughing.
At present, it is also a critical period for field management for wheat to enter the heading and flowering stage. In Ningjin, Shandong Province, the 5G smart agriculture platform allows growers to grasp the data of soil moisture, insect pests and disasters in real time, and provide scientific irrigation, fertilization and application strategies for wheat growth. In Tianchang, Anhui Province, the all-weather intelligent unmanned field patrol application system allows farmers to check the growth status of wheat in real time. In Henan Minquan, the agricultural machinery operator holds the remote control to control the drone for flying defense operation, and relies on Beidou navigation for precise positioning, and the error of flying defense operation can be controlled at centimeter level.
A breakthrough has been made in the cultivation of short-growing rape in China: the production mode of double-cropping rice and rape can be realized in the southern region
Recently, through field evaluation by experts organized by the Oil Professional Committee of China Crop Society, Zhongyouzao No.1, a new rape variety with short growth period in China, has set a new record of 100 mu of mechanical yield under the "rice-rice-oil" triple cropping system.
"Rice, rice and oil" refers to the three-fork rotation mode of early rice, late rice and rape in one year, which is an important measure to increase the output of grain and oil crops in southern China. However, in the southern region, if rape is planted in winter fallow fields, the growth period must be reduced to about 180 days, so as not to delay the planting of early rice in the coming year.
In Tangjing Village, suichuan county, Ji ‘an City, Jiangxi Province, a new early-maturing rape variety Zhongyouzao No.1 planted with 100 mu of "rice, rice and oil" has a yield of 166.05 kg per mu, an oil yield of 73.33 kg per mu, and a growth period of about 170 days, which provides a comprehensive technical solution that can be replicated and popularized for expanding rape area and ensuring the safety of edible oil supply in winter fallow fields in southern China.
Du Dezhi, a post scientist of the national rape industrial technology system, said: "The cultivation of this variety has successfully solved the contradiction between early maturity and high yield, early maturity and lodging resistance and disease resistance. In the past, some of our varieties were precocious, but either the yield was not high or they were not resistant to diseases and lodging. This variety has solved these problems. "
This year, the demonstration area of "Zhongyouzao No.1" in Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangxi, Hubei, Zhejiang and other major rape-producing provinces has reached more than 5,000 mu, and all demonstration sites have realized the smooth handover of the "rice-rice-oil" mode rotation fork, and the growth period is shorter as it goes south, and it is only about 130 days in Beihai, Guangxi.
Old exhibitions are full of new vitality.
