    It is an inevitable trend that agricultural machines are replacing human and animal power in agricultural production. The soil mechanical compaction problem has become more and more prominent with the rapid improvement of agricultural mechanization level. In this study, we analyzed the stress transfer model of soil mechanical compaction and the deterioration of soil quality after the mechanical compaction such as the increase of soil bulk density and firmness, and the decrease of porosity, moisture content and permeability. It is found that soil compaction could lead to soil quality deterioration to inhibit the root growth and development of crops, and cause an adverse effect on the absorption of moisture and nutrients. It is estimated that soil mechanical compaction in agricultural production could reduce the yield of maize by 9.5%-14.4%, of wheat by 4.0%-20.0%, of soybean by 3.8%-13.4%, and of sugar beet root by 5.81%-24.13%, and sugar content of sugar beet by 0.49-0.81°Z. Therefore, sufficient attention must be paid to the soil compaction in agricultural production, and feasible technical measures should be taken to reduce the negative impact of agricultural mechanization on soil, promote crop growth and improve the comprehensive benefits of agriculture.

    In order to verify the improved situation, the experiment determined the soil physicochemical properties of undisturbed region, restored region and destroyed region of MTG (Mentougou) abandoned coal mine in Beijing. The mathematical statistical analysis displayed the significant difference of 11 soil physiochemical properties; there were extremely significant differences of soil physicochemical effect between restored region and undisturbed region, destroyed region; and also found the soil remediation limit factor with single factor hypothesis test. The experiment confirmed that it was unable to complete the restoration only with the help of natural force; the comprehensive effect analysis proved that the physicochemical property of soil combined effect was obviously improved. The single factor hypothesis test proved that it was the soil organic matter, alkali-hydrolyzed nitrogen, available potassium and total nitrogen that were the key recovery target in the future.

    In the crop genetic engineering, constitute promoters have been used to make foreign gene express efficiently in transgenic crops, but constitute promoters are unable to regulate gene expression temporally and spatially. Tissue-specific promoters can be employed to alleviate the drawbacks of constituted promoters in transgenic crops. The target genes driven by tissue-specific promoters are expressed in special tissue or organ, and the target proteins are accumulated in special parts. This review was a brief introduction to tissue-specific promoter characters, mainly focusing on the category of tissue-specific promoters and the up-to-date research progress in crop genetic engineering. Furthermore, the limits and prospects of tissue-specific promoters in crop genetic engineering were discussed.

    To reveal the evolution characteristics of soil quality of coal mining subsidence area under different engineering reclamation measures, based on a 10 years long-term test, the authors studied the soil physical and chemical properties, microbial community structure and the change characteristics of land productivity in coal mining subsidence area in the southeast Shanxi, with topsoil stripping and mixed pushing engineering reclamation. The results showed that in the beginning of the reclamation, the physical and chemical properties of reclaimed soil and land productivity under topsoil stripping reclamation were significantly higher than that of mixed pushing reclamation. After 7 years of reclamation, the physical properties, microbial community structure composition and diversity and land productivity of the soil were basically the same between the two measures, and the difference was not significant. During the 10 years of reclamation, the soil nutrient content in 0-20 cm soil layer was always shown as topsoil stripping > mixed reclamation. During the 10 years, the cumulative return of topsoil stripping increased by 6609 yuan/hm2 compared with that of mixed pushing reclamation. Topsoil stripping reclamation was better than mixed pushing reclamation in maintaining topsoil fertility and comprehensive return. However, after 10 years of reclamation, the land productivity and fertility level of the two reclamation measures were very low, indicating that the reclamation method was only a leading link in the mining area reclamation process, and the ecological restoration of the soil in the mining area must be combined with fertilization measures.

    The high loss rate in the rape mechanized harvesting process has restricted the rape production development, and it is difficult to be solved only from the farm machinery aspect. The plant material characteristic research based on mechanized harvesting adaptability was done in this paper. The flowering length, lodging resistance and yield of plant with different density were tested. At the same time the maximum breaking strength was analyzed .The results showed that: the increased appropriately planting density (449800 plant per hm2) was advantageous to the mechanized harvesting, with thinner stem, less branches, upper pod-setting and high stem-lodging resistance. The flowering length of rape was shortened with the increasing of plant density and had little influence on the mechanized harvest work.

    In view of the present situation that large quantities of soybean varieties or lines in Shanxi soybean production area were difficult to adapt to mechanized harvesting, the bottleneck problem of mechanized harvesting, the height of bottom pod, was studied, to provide a theoretical basis for mechanized harvesting of soybean. By using the method of cluster analysis and correlation analysis, the variation law of soybean pod height was summarized with the regulation of planting density, and the dynamic relationship between the density and the bottom pod height and the related yield traits was analyzed. The results showed that 18 accessions of germplasm were divided into 3 categories by cluster analysis at the Euclidean distance OD=8.23: the first kind was medium branched soybean, the second was multi branched soybean, and the third was few branched soybean. The changing trend of the bottom pod height of different branch type varieties was different along with the increasing planting density. When the bottom pod height was suitable for mechanized harvesting, the best combination point of density and yield was that, the density of medium branched type was 140000/hm2 and 270000/hm2, the density of few branched type was 120000/hm2 and 270000/hm2. The density of multi branched type was 240000/hm2. The density regulates the bottom pod height, increases the yield, and makes the mechanized harvesting feasible.

    The study revealed the carbon emission mechanism of the mode of wheat-maize continuous cropping, aiming to provide theoretical references for the low-carbon agriculture based on data from farmers’ survey in the demonstration region of science & technology project for food production in Huaibei Plain of Anhui Province. It analyzed the difference of carbon footprint per unit area and its components, and carbon footprint per unit output of farmland between innovative and traditional mode of wheat-maize continuous cropping with life-cycle approach (LCA), and found the relationship between the carbon footprint of innovative mode and cultivation scale. The results indicate that the value of carbon footprint of the traditional mode per unit area is 2159.50 kg(CO2-eq)/hm2, 2.11% higher than that of the innovative mode. The contribution sequence of carbon footprint of the two modes is consistent, in an order of: fertilizer>N2O>diesel>seed>electricity>pesticide. The value of carbon footprint per unit output of the traditional mode is 0.1402 kg(CO2-eq)/kg, 25.18% higher than that of the innovative mode. The value of carbon footprint of the innovative model per unit area is significantly and negatively correlated with the cultivation scale. In conclusion, the innovative mode has certain emission reduction, chemical fertilizer is the main influencing factor on the carbon emission of the mode, and the cultivation scale also has effect on carbon emission.

    The important way to improve the comparative advantage of sugar beet is to realize the mechanization of sugar beet production and reduce the production cost under the situation of high agricultural labor cost. Through the investigation of sugar beet growers in Heilongjiang Province in 2018, the relevant data were sorted out and analyzed to master the mechanization of sugar beet production. The survey showed that sugar beet growers on average had 1.62 tractors and 1.67 farm implements per household in Heilongjiang Province. The tractors were mostly small and medium-sized, there were insufficient large-horsepower tractors and supporting farm implements, and the lack of sugar beet harvesting machinery was serious. The mechanization level of sugar beet production had reached 89.71%, lower than 96.93% of soybean and 91.89% of maize. There were three main modes of sugar beet mechanized cultivation, i.e. self-owned agricultural machine cultivation, substitution cultivation by machine owners, self-owned agricultural machine cultivation plus substitution cultivation by machine owners. The main mode was self-owned agricultural machine plus substitution cultivation by machine owners, accounting for 84.54%, and there were fewer sugar beet growers who relied solely on self-owned machine or substitution cultivation by machine owners, which accounting for 11.34% and 4.12%, respectively. To realize the steady development of sugar beet industry, it is necessary to vigorously develop the mechanization of sugar beet production, realize the substitution of manpower with machinery, and improve the comparative benefit of sugar beet.

    To improve farmers’ non-agricultural income, solve the core problems of the Sannong issue (namely, agriculture, rural community and farmers), this paper uses VAR (vector auto regression) model to empirically explore the interaction between agricultural mechanization and farmers’ off-farm income in Heilongjiang Province. The results show that agricultural mechanization and farmers’ non-agricultural income in Heilongjiang Province are Granger causality. In addition, the development of agricultural mechanization in Heilongjiang Province has a relatively stable promoting effect on the increase of non-agricultural income, but there is a certain lag in the short term. The increase of non-agricultural income will strongly inhibit the development of agricultural mechanization, and it has not yet formed a benign interactive relationship of mutual promotion. In view of this, in order to promote the formation of a benign interactive relationship between agricultural mechanization and non-agricultural income in the province, the study puts forward some suggestions on relying on scientific and technological progress to drive the development of agricultural mechanization, upgrading the service guarantee level of agricultural machinery by improving agricultural cooperation organizations, strengthening the training of agricultural machinery skills, giving full play to the utilization efficiency of agricultural machinery, broadening farmers’ non-agricultural employment channels and increasing farmers’ non-agricultural income.

    Mechanical grain harvest of maize is the development direction of China’ maize industry. The purpose of the study is to explore the combining ability of different maize inbred lines and the influence on the mechanical grain harvest quality of the hybrid combinations. Seven American inbred lines were used as female parent, five ‘Xin 01A3’ improved lines were used as male parent, incomplete diallel cross was adopted, and 35 maize hybrid combinations were used as materials. After mechanical grain harvest, the yield and grain moisture content were measured, and the impurity rate, broken rate, and the shatter loss rate were calculated. The combining ability of yield was analyzed. The results showed that the general combining ability of ‘XL2’ was the highest. Among the five male inbred lines, the general combining ability of ‘Xin A389’ was the highest, and that of ‘Xin 69’ was the second. The special combining ability of ‘XL6× Xin 69’ was the highest, and that of ‘XL7× Xin 3764’ was the second. The correlation of each character was analyzed, and the results showed that there was a significantly positive correlation between the broken rate and the moisture content. Among the 35 hybrid combinations, compared with the adjacent control, the yield of 32 maize hybrid combinations increased by more than 5%, and the grain moisture content of all hybrid combinations was lower than 28.0%, suggesting that these hybrid combinations were suitable for mechanical grain harvest. In the future, the utilization of high combining inbred lines ‘XL2’, ‘XL5’, ‘Xin A389’ and ‘Xin 69’ should be enhanced.

    According to the requirement of fully mechanical development of maize planting, a fully mechanical inter-cropping pattern between summer maize and mungbean was innovatively designed and fully discussed to increase the yield and benefits. The theoretical basis will be provided for the modern efficient agriculture planting pattern by this research. The results showed that there was a positive relationship between the yield growing and density increasing of the summer maize as its thousand-seed weight and kernel number decreasing in this inter-cropping pattern; the yield of mungbean had no significant differences between different densities. The density of maize was the main factor which significantly affected the economical efficiency of intercropping crops. Compared to the mono-cropping, the inter-cropping of maize and mungbean increased not only the net output, but also the efficiency of land utilization. The author identified two combinations which had the highest net output, they were 75000 plants maize with 90000 plants mungbean and 75000 plants maize with105000 plants mungbean per hectare.
