| Scientific and technological progress is the cornerstone for sustainable agricultural development,This paper based on the Development Yearbook of Gansu province from 2011 to 2015,using agricultural economy development,disaster prevention and rescue capacity,post-disaster recovery and reconstruction capacity and fertilizer application strength as the first order indicators,labor productivity and land productivity,per unit area yield of grain,input and output ratio,effective irrigation area,inundated area and the affected area ratio,per capita net income of farmers,rural per capita income of household operation,and the proportion of rural population,fertilizer intensity as the secondary indexes,analyzed the development of agricultural science and technology progress during the 12 th five-year plan period.The main results are as follow":1.During the 12 th five-year plan period,the overall efficiency and efficiency of agriculture in Gansu province have been significantly improved.was steady at over 10 million tons for five consecutive years,reaching 117.11 million tons in 2015,and a 22.2 percent increase in grain production compared with that in the end of 2011.In 2015,agricultural income accounted for 56.5% of GDP,per capita net income of farmers was 6936 yuan,increased by 3511.3 yuan in 5 years period.which was higher than the entire province economic growth of 2.5%.Urban and rural residents widening income gap situation is reversed,Jiayuguan,Wuwei,Zhangye were on singularity of the stable development of agricultural economy.2.In 2015,the effective irrigation area of the province was 1165.59 thousand hectares,which was 59.74 thousand hectares more than that in 2011,increasing by 5.40%.The total disaster area of the whole province decreased by 45.08 percent in 2015 compares with that in 2011,and the area of disaster was 52.75 percent.However,the improvement of defense and rescue capability was not significant,and there was no difference both among cities and years.The post-disaster recovery and reconstruction capacity for city like Jiuquan,Zhangye,Wuwei and Jinchang have increased year by year.3.During the “12th five-year plan” period,governments at all levels in Gansu province have continuously strengthened the quality of agricultural products and food safety.The application amount of fertilizer has been controlled,which is conducive to the production of green,ecological agricultural products.Qingyang,Linxia and Gannan’s fertilizer application for five consecutive years maintained the lowest in the province,while Jiayuguan,Wuwei and Jiuquan were still high.4.During the “12th five-year plan period” agricultural development in Gansu has been increasing.Total of 14 cities in Gansu province have diverse geographical and natural eatures,caused differene perofmance based on the monitoring index values,,the progress of science and technology can overcome the disadvantage of geographical environment and promote the positive development of Provincial agriculture. |
