Efforts should be made in various regions to seize accumulated temperature and promote early ripening of grain crops. In flooded areas, timely measures should be taken to reduce waterlogging levels throughout the province
CCTV News: August 8th will usher in the Liqiu solar term, which is the first solar term of autumn and also the active period of typhoons. What are the impacts of recent heavy rainfall in Northeast China on local autumn crops and major crops?

CCTV reporter Jiang Shulin: Currently, the water levels of major rivers in the province are relatively stable. However, due to the impact of early rainfall, as of 8:00 am on August 7th, 18 rivers in Heilongjiang Province, including the Lalin River, Ant River, and Mudan River, have exceeded the warning water level. Among them, 2 large reservoirs and 21 small and medium-sized reservoirs have exceeded the flood control limit.
Chief forecaster of Heilongjiang Provincial Meteorological Observatory, Fang Lijuan: In the past two days, the weather in Heilongjiang Province has been mainly characterized by showers and thunderstorms, with moderate rain in the central region on August 8th. The southern part of Harbin, including the Mudanjiang area, is mainly characterized by showers and thunderstorms, with daytime wind speeds ranging from level 3 to level 4.

Fang Lijuan, Chief Forecaster of Heilongjiang Provincial Meteorological Bureau: The Heilongjiang Provincial Meteorological Bureau regularly releases special reports on ensuring food security services, providing refined services for different regions and crops. On August 8th, we entered the beginning of the autumn season. As the saying goes, "Once autumn is established, we cannot hang a hoe or hook.". Although the crops have grown very tall at this time and will not be deceived by the grass, it is necessary to weed and loosen the soil in advance, after all, "this year we have cleared all the grass on the edge of the land, and next year we will have more grain and less pest damage.". It is recommended to strengthen field management at this time, timely carry out waterlogging work in waterlogged areas after rain, do a good job in weeding, fertilization, and pest control in dry fields, control water layers, pay attention to drainage, and prevent pests and diseases in paddy fields. It is recommended that all regions focus on seizing accumulated temperature and promoting early ripening.
