Abstract:

The crop cultivation and farming system discipline in China has achieved remarkable achievements in many aspects, such as theoretical construction, technical innovation and the establishment of technical systems, during the recent 60 years. In order to meet with the requirements of obtaining high-yield, high-quality, high-efficiency, ecological and safety production, the discipline has made breakthroughs in the theory of crop development regulation and related technological approaches, which has also got continuous innovations and developments in multiple cropping, crop composition and distribution, and the optimization of planting pattern. Moreover, it efficiently supported the improvement of the productivity of our country’s cereal products, cotton products and oil products through the application of technical integrations. In the face of the national strategic demands in agricultural transformation and development on the current and future situations, how to pay equal attention to the high efficient utilization of resources, environmental safety and high-yield and efficient crop production, and the constructions of the crop production systems with the cultivated land utilization and recovery, ecological efficiency, and the continuous improvements of productivity and competitiveness, are the major objectives and missions of the innovative developments of the crop cultivation and farming system discipline.

Key words: Crop Cultivation and Farming System, Crop Production Systems, Ecological and High Efficient, Discipline Development
