2013年采用调查问卷的方式，对湖北省46个县（市）的187个农户水稻种植情况进行了调查。通过对水稻种植、施肥及机械化生产现状分析，揭示了农村劳动力短缺、水稻种植面积不断减少、传统的种植方式费时费工、施肥方式粗放、养分施用不平衡等目前我国水稻生产中存在的主要问题；提出了轻简化、机械一体化、施肥方式合理化等对策；总结了现阶段农户种植水稻积极性降低及机械化种植水平低的原因，提出了劳动力短缺形势下，实现播种（插秧）-施肥机械一体化作业的优势及发展趋势；最后展望了提高我国水稻种植机械化程度的发展策略。

An investigation of planting status on rice in 2013 was carried out in Hubei Province. It covered 187 rice famers distributed in 46 counties from main production area. The survey indicated that there are numerous problems of rice production including rural labor shortage, rice planting area reduction, time-consuming and laborious traditional planting method, simple and crude fertilization, and unbalanced nutrients application. The article pointed out countermeasures for the existing problem including light simplification, mechanization and rationalization of fertilization, summarized the reasons of decreased enthusiasm and low level of mechanization of rice production at the present situation, and proposed the advantage and research progress of improving mechanical integration on rice production.
