Early Tip Pruning Method of Grapes
Feng Lianyou
District Hangu, Tianjin
This farmer has found an ‘early tip pruning method of grapes’ after several years of experimentation. The inflorescent tips are pruned from April 28 to May 5 of every year, about ten days earlier than the general time of tip pruning. Meanwhile, the method of ‘pruuning winter sprouts in summer’ is adopted to increase the fruit-setting rate and control the tree vigour. Moreover, it is advised farmers should walk backwards when they are spraying insecticide. The direction in which the liquid is sprayed and the position of the shelf should form an angle of 25 degree to make sure the liquid can be sprayed evenly. The grape-bunches cultivated in this way are larger, with fewer uneven grains, and moderate tightness. Each of them weighs about 0.4 to 0.5 kg. Both the shape and the weigh are uniform. The output increases by about 15 per cent.

Intercropping of Pepper and Corn & Double Planting of Corn
Wang Wenzhu
Cangzhou, Hebei
Wang Wenzhu has explored scientific planting patterns like intercropping of pepper corn and double planting of corn. The former could increase the income by 1000 Yuan per one Mu (INR 12 per square metre) than planting just corn in the field. The latter could increase the input by 20 per cent than normal planting pattern. Besides, Wang has also invented double corn seeder to sow corn.

Water-saving Rice-washing Basin
Xu Zhiqiang
Nanjing, Jiangsu
Xu’s physical disability has not deterred his innovative pursuits to solve day-to-day problems. He has made a water-saving rice-washing basin. This basin has integrated the advantages of a common basin and mesh basin. On one side of the container there is a rice blocking board on which a lot of pores are there to let those sediments out, while the other side is designed as a common basin, which is used to pour water.
Sowing machine
Li Lusheng
Fuzhou, Jiangxi
Traditional manual sowing not only wastes seeds, time and energy but also does not sow evenly. However, the invention of floating type equipment for sowing and growing seedlings of tobacco by Li Lusheng, a farmer from Xiangguanfang Village, Lean County, Fuzhou City, has solved this problem successfully. The working efficiency of this equipment is 20 times more than manual sowing. It could save nearly half of the seeds and is very popular amongst tobacco growers.

Agricultural implements
Ao Xiaoping
Jiangxi
Ao Xiaoping has invented several agricultural implements customised to meet farmers’ requirement. Improvising upon traditional designs, these implements reduce labour and increase productivity. The working efficiency of his self-cleaning threshing machine, which consists of a fan, a blower, and a screen, is four times higher than that of common thresher while its weight is just half. The gripping type semi-feeding rice threshing machine is made by adding an automatic gripping type feeding device to the threshing machine mentioned above. It has helped change the perception that threshing is an unhygienic and dangerous activity. In 2006, Ao invented a self-propelled rice and wheat swather, greatly improving efficiency.
