Efforts should be made in various regions to strengthen field management in the middle and later stages of autumn grain production and promote stable and abundant harvests
CCTV News: Currently, multiple major grain producing regions across the country will gradually enter the autumn harvest season. Various regions are providing guidance on classification, focusing on the management of autumn crops in the middle and later stages, and making every effort to stabilize yields and ensure a bountiful harvest.
In Suihua, Heilongjiang, soybeans have entered the bulging stage, and farmers are carrying out fertilization operations to promote plump seeds. This year, the local government actively adjusted the planting structure to stabilize grain and increase soybean production, with a soybean planting area of over 6 million mu. At the same time, it vigorously promoted green and efficient production technology models to enhance the comprehensive production capacity of soybeans.
The double cropping late rice in Hunan Province is currently in the tillering stage. Due to the high number of pests and diseases in the fields since the beginning of autumn, various regions in Hunan have strengthened monitoring and early warning of pests and diseases, refined prevention and control plans according to local conditions, and promptly promoted "good prescriptions" to farmers. In Dong'an County, major grain growers are carrying out aerial defense operations.
Since August, the average rainfall in Shandong Province has increased by 20% compared to previous years. In order to ensure stable and increased autumn grain production of over 60 million mu in the province, Shandong has launched the "Ten Thousand People Going to the Countryside and Increasing Yield" agricultural technology service action. Qingyun County has demonstrated for the first time this year the cultivation of soybeans on saline alkali land. Due to frequent rainfall causing soil nutrient loss, agricultural technology experts have guided major grain growers to apply nitrogen fertilizer and seaweed fertilizer to soybeans during the flowering and pod setting period.
At present, some autumn crops in the southwest region have started to be harvested sporadically. The high-quality red sorghum on 365000 acres in Renhuai, Guizhou has entered the harvesting period, and 19 local towns and streets are intensifying their machine harvesting operations.
There is still about a month left until the large-scale harvest of autumn grain, and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs will focus on making good use of the recently allocated 2.4 billion yuan "one spray multiple promotion" subsidy funds and agricultural disaster prevention and reduction funds from the central government. Various regions will organize unified spraying operations to promote the maturity of autumn grain crops, post disaster recovery, and yield improvement, and make every effort to achieve a bountiful autumn grain harvest.
