The “High Quality and High Efficiency Crop Production and Product Research”, a project under the National Key Technology R&D Program（agricultural sector), is developing rapidly with great labor-saving & efficiency-enhancing effects. 

Presently, it has carried out the research on the mechanism of conservation tillage technology and rotation tillage modes, probed into the earth covering materials for conservation tillage and their combined effects, and conservation tillage technology systems and modes have been formed to fit in different regions such as the Northeast Plain, the sandstorm-stricken areas of the agriculture and animal husbandry ecotones and the water-deficient areas of the North China Plain. Such systems and modes have been popularized among relevant regions, playing a great role in saving labor and increasing production.
