Development Trend Forecast and Equipment Requirements of the Rice Transplanting Mechanization

Rice transplanting technology, which has lagged behind other aspects of the working link, is the emphasis and difficulty of agricultural mechanization development in China. Therefore, accurate prediction of future trends is very important to promote the development of the rice transplanting mechanization. However, there is a lack of quantitative research on the development trend and equipment requirements of the rice transplanting mechanization. In this studied, the data of main rice producing areas in the past 10 years was collected, based on panel regression of Eviews 5.0, the main factors influencing the rice planting mechanization were deeply analyzed to find out the regression relationship between agricultural mechanization level and the various factors, and to initially predict the market demand of the rice planting mechanization. The result showed that the average plant scale was the most important factor restricting the development of transplanting mechanization. The higher proportion of the ground meant, the higher level of the planting mechanization was. The level of rice transplanting mechanization can only reach 65% in 2020 with 700 000 transplanters required. Therefore, farmland transfer should be encouraged to promote the appropriate scale of arable farmland, meanwhile, the farmland capital construction also should be strengthened.
