The current situation and the major challenges that were identified led experts to propose the following technical guidelines:

(I) Strict selection of high-quality seed varieties

Due to the dry weather last autumn, seeds did not mature properly. Additionally, mechanical threshing increased the risk of damage to the embryos, which negatively affected germination rates. Therefore, it is crucial to carefully select seeds. Farmers should remove damaged seeds and conduct germination tests before planting. The selected varieties should be high-yielding, adaptable, and suitable for local conditions. It is important to ensure seed purity and germination rates by organizing seed distribution and guiding farmers to purchase through official channels.

(B) Proper seed treatment

Before sowing, it is recommended to pre-sprout the seeds, which can increase germination rates by about 13% and allow seedlings to emerge 2–3 days earlier. Seed coating or dressing is also essential, especially in low-temperature and drought conditions where seeds may remain in the soil for a long time, increasing the risk of disease and pests. Soybean seed coatings with a ratio of 1:75 to 100 can help prevent diseases. For root rot, mix 50% of the seed with 0.5% fungicide or use 50% carbendazim at 0.3%. In areas with severe pest problems, seeds should be coated with a combination of bactericides and insecticides. If no coating is used, 35% methylthiophosphorus EC can be applied to protect against underground pests. Adding molybdenum to seed dressings can enhance emergence and nitrogen fixation. Additionally, baits should be used to control rodents after seedlings emerge.

(C) Choose appropriate sowing methods based on local conditions

Previously, ridge-card type planting was used, but this method was not suitable for land turned over in autumn. Instead, ridged land should be tilled in autumn and then planted flat or in narrow rows with close spacing. In poorly drained soils, deep trenches with shallow coverage and heavy compression are recommended to reduce drought stress. Mulching between rows and continuous operations can help conserve soil moisture.

(D) Implement "early sowing" technology to make the most of "returning slurry" and ensure seedling survival

To take advantage of warm ground temperatures, early sowing should be done during the "returning slurry" period. Sowing should begin when the topsoil temperature consistently reaches 5°C, and continuous sowing should be carried out to prevent moisture loss. Deep ditching, shallow soil covering, and firm pressing techniques are effective. Ditches should be deep enough to ensure seeds are placed on moist soil, and soil should be evenly covered. After pressing, the depth should be around 2 cm to maintain uniformity. After sowing, if the soil is moist, press the soil 2–3 hours later. If the soil is dry, press immediately. If the soil has more than 25% moisture or after rain, a 2 cm surface layer should be pressed. In dry conditions, pressing should be done to secure the seeds.

(5) Monitor seedlings regularly

After sowing, fields should be checked frequently. Within 3–5 days, check for waterlogging and address areas with significant seed loss. Before emergence, inspect the sprouting condition and replant any weak or poor-quality seeds. Check for seedling health and pest infestations, and either replant early-maturing varieties or apply pesticides to affected areas.

(6) Advance soil testing and implement formula fertilization

Many regions have relied on experience-based fertilization, leading to imbalances in soil nutrients and deficiencies in potassium and micronutrients. Combining soil testing with the Ministry of Agriculture's formula fertilization program ensures scientific and balanced fertilizer application. Based on soil test results, apply nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in appropriate proportions. Encourage farmers to use more organic fertilizer combined with site preparation, and apply fertilizer as a seed fertilizer at a depth of 4–5 cm to avoid burning the seeds.

(7) Use non-long-lasting herbicides to prevent crop injury

Due to the widespread sowing of soybeans, the use of long-lasting herbicides has caused issues for crop rotation and structural adjustments. Non-long-lasting herbicides are therefore recommended. Long-lasting herbicides include products like Pusset, Tosulfuron, Huwei, Kulasuqing, and Guangmailing.

In 2008, two scenarios may occur: 1. The area of sugar beets and potatoes in the Sanjiang Plain region may expand, requiring special attention to their sensitivity to long-lasting herbicides. These crops should be planted every 3–4 years. 2. Soybean cultivation may increase, often following corn. However, applying atrazine at 2000g/hm² could cause phytotoxicity in certain soybean varieties, which must be taken seriously.
