Abstract:

【Objective】 Research on the Analysis and Countermeasures for the Current Development Status of Mechanization in Chinese Herbal Medicine in Xinjiang 【Methods】 Based on field research and industry data, this paper conducts an in-depth analysis of the current status, core challenges, advantageous potential, and proposes targeted strategies for the mechanization of Xinjiang's medicinal herb industry. 【Results】 The study reveals that Xinjiang, driven by policy support, has achieved technological breakthroughs and pilot applications in several key processes (e.g., precision seeding, root/rhizome harvesting, intelligent sorting), leveraging significant advantages such as vast land resources, abundant sunlight and heat, and policy backing.However, the overall mechanization rate for medicinal herbs across the region (below 40%) remains substantially lower than that for grain crops.Core bottlenecks include lagging and imbalanced mechanization levels across herb varieties, insufficient integration of agronomy and mechanization, high equipment promotion costs stemming from low-scale operation, and delays in technology R&D and standard system development. 【Conclusion】 To overcome these developmental bottlenecks, this paper proposes systematic strategies: strengthening industry-academia-research collaboration for key technology breakthroughs, refining policy support systems to reduce application costs, promoting large-scale operations and standardization, and enhancing industrial synergy efficiency through digitalization.This research aims to provide theoretical support and practical pathways for Xinjiang's transition from labor-intensive to mechanization-dominated TCM production.

Key words: Xinjiang medicinal herbs; mechanization development; integration of agronomy and mechanization; large-scale operation; industry-academia-research collaboration

摘要：

【目的】 分析新疆中草药机械化发展现状与对策。【方法】 基于实地调研与产业数据,剖析新疆中草药机械化发展的现状、核心问题、优势潜力,并提出针对性对策。【结果】 新疆中草药已实现部分关键环节(如精准播种、根茎采收、智能分拣)的技术突破和示范应用,并拥有广阔土地、光热资源及政策支持等显著优势。然而,新疆中草药综合机械化率(不足40%)仍远低于粮食作物,存在机械化水平滞后且品种失衡、农机农艺融合不足、规模化经营程度低导致设备推广成本高、技术研发与标准体系滞后等。【结论】 新疆中草药的对策强化产学研协同攻关关键技术、完善政策支持体系降低应用成本、推动规模化经营与标准化建设、依托数字化提升产业协同效率等。
