On August 31, Tang Renjian, director of the Central Agricultural Office and minister of agriculture and villages, presided over an executive meeting of the Ministry to convey and study the spirit of the executive meeting of the State Council and the spirit of Premier Li Keqiang's important instructions to the national agricultural science and technology innovation work conference, and to study and deploy key work such as drought relief and autumn grain harvest and agricultural science and technology innovation.

The meeting pointed out that the Party Central Committee and the State Council attach great importance to disaster prevention and mitigation and ensuring a bumper harvest in autumn. General Secretary Xi Jinping has issued important instructions and instructions on many occasions. The executive meeting of the State Council has conducted two special research deployments, and the central government has supported it with real money. It is necessary to deeply understand the extreme importance of seizing this year's autumn grain harvest, and make every effort to do a good job in disaster prevention and mitigation, and autumn grain field management. To accurately implement policies to stabilize the production of autumn grain in the south, the focus of mid-season rice is to take measures such as topdressing ear grain fertilizer and spraying foliar fertilizer to increase grain weight according to local conditions in view of the impact of high temperature and heat damage in the early stage. Late rice should encrypt disaster scheduling, accurate guidance, promote booting and heading; In areas not affected by the disaster, measures such as "one spray, more promotion" and full coverage should be implemented to stabilize production. We will not relax our efforts in agricultural disaster prevention and mitigation. In view of the possible continuous drought in autumn in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the sharp turn of drought and flood in West China, the early frost in Northeast China and the northward typhoon, we should timely study, judge and early warning, make preparations for prevention, and plan the sowing of winter wheat and winter rape as soon as possible. Highlight practical results and make full use of disaster relief and stable production funds, guide and urge relevant provinces to formulate detailed plans, coordinate relevant departments to allocate disaster relief funds to counties and cities as soon as possible, pay agricultural subsidies to actual grain farmers, and use the money in key crops., Forming a real workload. It is necessary to focus on the long-term strengthening of disaster prevention and disaster resistance capabilities, and in response to the frequent occurrence of extreme weather events, systematically consider various links such as variety cultivation, water conservancy projects, farmland construction, agricultural machinery and agronomy, and explore and propose a set of measures to promote the improvement of agriculture. Disaster prevention and relief work system and mechanism.

The meeting pointed out that it is necessary to thoroughly implement the spirit of Premier Li Keqiang's important instructions to the National Agricultural Science and Technology Innovation Work Conference, in accordance with the deployment requirements of the meeting, solidly promote the revitalization of the seed industry, carry out key agricultural core technologies, etc., and focus on promoting agricultural science and technology innovation and popularization and application. Compacting the responsibility of local agricultural science and technology innovation, refining the actual work content, and establishing a regular scheduling evaluation mechanism. To give full play to the forces of the government and the market, the government should focus on raising demand, building platforms, and building mechanisms, continue to build industrial technology systems, innovation alliances, key laboratories, etc., create a number of agricultural technology integration innovation centers, and explore the establishment of a list of leaders, Horse racing and other key research mechanisms mobilize the enthusiasm of scientific and technological personnel, strengthen enterprises' right to speak and allocate resources in key links such as the setting of scientific research projects, the selection of technical routes, and the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, consolidate the dominant position of enterprises in innovation, and continue to run agricultural high-tech trading activities. For different types of projects, clarify scientific research objectives, tasks, scale cycles, and phased arrangements, combine long and short, and promote convergence, and break through urgently needed varieties of technical equipment such as high-oil and high-protein soybeans, short-growth rapeseed, and special machinery in hilly and mountainous areas as soon as possible, and support agriculture for long-term stability Basic research, make good use of information, big data and other technologies, and establish a scientific research resource sharing platform, so that experts engaged in basic research can share more economic benefits. Taking the implementation of major projects as the starting point, guide the agricultural research institutes of the central, provincial, and prefectural cities to further clarify their functional positioning, clarify their main responsibilities and main businesses, and coordinate innovation to form an agricultural science and technology innovation that effectively exerts resource advantages and promotes mutual complementarity at all levels Pattern.

The meeting also examined other matters.
