一 | MIAMI -- Kim Ng is leaving the Miami Marlins after three seasons as general manager, Marlins chairman and principal owner Bruce Sherman announced Monday.Ng, 54, became the majors’ highest-ranking woman in baseball operations and the first female GM in the four major North American professional sports leagues in a groundbreaking hire in November 2020.The Marlins exercised their team option for her to return for the 2024 season, Sherman said in a statement, but Ng declined her mutual option.“Last week, Bruce and I discussed his plan to reshape the Baseball Operations department. In our discussions, it became apparent that we were not completely aligned on what that should look like," Ng told the Athletic on Monday. “I felt it best to step away. I wish to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation to the Marlins family and its fans for my time in South Florida. This year was a great step forward for the organization.”Ng brought in Marlins coach Skip Schumaker ahead of the 2023 season, and he led Miami to an 84-78 record and its first postseason berth since the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign. The last full season in which the Marlins made the playoffs was in 2003, when they won the World Series. Miami lost to the Philadelphia Phillies in the Wild Card Series earlier this month.Ng was the fifth GM in the Marlins’ history. Sherman said the club will immediately begin its search for new leadership.“We thank Kim for her contributions during her time with our organization and wish her and her family well,” Sherman said.___AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb。

二 | 近日，在萧山区党湾镇梅东村，杭州萧山沙地家庭农场的早稻高产攻关示范片迎来年度“大考”——省农技推广中心组织市外专家现场对连片10亩稻田进行实收测产，最终结果亮眼：该攻关示范片平均亩产达740.64公斤，夺得今年全省早稻亩产第一。这份沉甸甸的丰收来得不容易。在场的萧山区农技专家介绍，相较去年，今年早稻生长期阴雨天气偏多，光照、积温明显不足，制约水稻光合作用与养分积累，整体生长态势受限。

三 | 杭州农技团队选择与天气“抢”产量。市区两级专家扎进田间地头，手把手指导农户精准施策、科学管护。以精细化田间管理对冲天气短板，稳稳守住了粮食产能底线——育秧阶段，攻关示范片创新采用大钵体毯状苗育秧技术，精细化培育壮秧，夯实高产基础。这套技术有效降低了插秧漏插率，助力秧苗移栽后快速返青、早生快发、有效分蘖，为稳产高产筑牢根基。

四 | 施肥管护环节，田间全面应用侧深施肥技术，将肥料精准施于秧苗根部，大幅减少养分流失，有效提升肥料利用率，实现节肥、增效、稳产多重效果。同时，攻关示范片此次选用适配本地水土气候的优良品种“嘉育25”，该品种兼具优质、高产、高抗等优势，成为不利天气下逆势高产的核心支撑。

五 | 这份“全省第一”的荣誉，是杭州扎实抓粮油生产增效的一个生动注脚。今年，杭州市本级计划安排“米袋子”资金1.7亿元，其中粮油适度规模经营资金5380万元，真金白银调动农民种粮积极性。全市还布下了150个以上各级绿色优质高产高效创建区块，以点带面推广良种、良法和高效模式。农技专家更是频繁奔走一线，开展指导服务300余次，解决生产实际问题80余个。同时，杭州还建起了粮食和蔬菜应急储备库，为农业生产系上“安全带”。粮食生产，一季接一季，一茬接一茬。
