Abstract: The fundamental task of well-facilitated farmland construction is to continuously lift the integrated production capacity. External project construction for well-facilitated farmland can not completely solve existing problems in improvement of intrinsic quality of farmland. Based on research findings of integrated production capacity of farmland, starting from basic elements such as water, soil, seed, fertilizer, and pesticide, this paper introduced factors influencing the integrated production capacity of well-facilitated farmland, including natural quality of farmland, supporting infrastructure, agricultural technology level and management level, and labor quality. Besides, it establish an evaluation system for integrated production capacity of well-facilitated farmland in Jiangsu Province by Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), and made an empirical study using indicator data of 2010-2014. Results indicated that the general index of integrated production capacity of farmland in Jiangsu Province in 2010-2014 was ascending, reflecting improvement of integrated production capacity of farmland. With the aid of radar map, it further found that the coupling between water, soil, seed, fertilizer, and pesticide and other elements play a crucial role in lifting the integrated production capacity of farmland. Finally, based on existing problems in construction of well-facilitated farmland in Jiangsu Province, it came up with some pertinent recommendations from the perspective of coordinated development of all elements.
