The process and logical mechanism of agricultural production space contraction in mountainous areas based on actor-network theory：A case study of Lishi Village in Longde County, Ni... by CHEN Kunqiu, CHEN Yunya, LIANG Yajia, ZHENG Yuhan

“…[Results] The study found that: (1) The translation of actor networks at different stages, the entry and exit of heterogeneous actors within the networks, and the transformation of the actor networks goals comprehensively contributed to the contraction of agricultural production space through the combined effects of human and non-human actors. (2) During the transformation of the actor network in Lishi Village, the key actor changed from the local government to the young labor force, and the obligatory point of passage (OPP) changed from “returning farmland to forest and grassland” to “developing specialty farming to maximize economic income”. (3) The agricultural production space in Lishi Village has gone through two stages: explicit contraction under the ecological objective and implicit contraction under the economic objective. (4) The contraction of agricultural production space in mountainous areas follows the mechanisms of environmental logic, policy-driven logic, and multi-subject logic. [Conclusion] To address the contraction of agricultural production space contraction in mountainous areas, it is necessary to innovate the mode of agricultural production and management, rationally balance the relationship between environmental carrying capacity and agricultural development, innovate the policies of ecological compensation and agricultural benefit, and accelerate the cultivation of new types of business entities such as elderly-friendly agriculture and professional farmers.…”

Design and experiment of air-suction drum-type seedling seeder for irregular-shaped vegetable seeds by Yanjun Li, Yunqiang Liu, Yichao Ning, Hongxin Wu, Yaqian Zhao

“…The relationship between the main factors (suction air pressure, clearing air pressure and vibration frequency of seed supply box) and the seeding indexes (reseeding rate, empty hole rate and pass rate) was studied, and the effects of the factors and their interactions on the indexes were analyzed and the parameters were optimized by multi-objective optimization method. The results show that: the factors affecting the seeding qualification rate in the order of suction air pressure, clearing air pressure and vibration frequency, the optimal parameter combination of suction air pressure 16.0 kPa, clearing air pressure 3.4 kPa, vibration frequency of 50 Hz, in the optimal parameter combination of the sowing test, to get the replanting rate, the rate of empty holes, the qualification rate of the time were 1.4%, 1.7% and 96.9%, respectively.It shows that the performance of this seeder is better adapted, accurate and efficient, and can meet the requirements of irregular-shaped vegetable seeding operation. …”
