Rice is one of the major food crops in China, undertaking the important mission of safeguarding national food security and meeting people’s dietary needs. Its yield and quality directly affect the sustainable development of agriculture. With the continuous improvement of people’s living standards, the demand for green, safe, and high-quality rice is growing day by day. The traditional rice cultivation mode is plagued by low resource utilization efficiency, environmental pollution, and unstable yield, which can no longer adapt to the requirements of agricultural development in the new era. As a new cultivation mode that balances yield, quality, and ecological benefits, green high-yield rice cultivation techniques can realize the greening, high yield, and high quality of rice production through scientific planting management, ecological prevention and control, and efficient resource utilization. It is also an important way to promote the high-quality development of the rice industry. Based on the reality of rice planting and combined with the current agricultural development trend, this paper analyzes the application status of green high-yield rice cultivation techniques, expounds their application significance, and explores feasible application paths, aiming to provide a theoretical reference and practical basis for the popularization of green high-yield rice cultivation techniques, and help China’s rice industry achieve quality improvement, efficiency increase and green development.
