Scientific prevention and control of crop pests and diseases to stabilize food production

The plan of the year is spring

The reporter learned from the Central Meteorological Observatory on the 21st that winter wheat in Shanxi, Hebei, Henan and most of Shandong is currently in the overwintering period, and the winter wheat in central Shaanxi, southern Henan, southern and western Shanxi, northern Anhui, and northwestern Jiangsu has begun to turn green.

Qian Yonglan, a senior engineer at the Agricultural Meteorological Center of the National Meteorological Center, analyzed that due to the rain and waterlogging in the north last autumn, the planting of winter wheat in some areas was delayed, and the proportion of late and weak seedlings was higher than usual

Qian Yonglan said that according to climate forecasts, most of the northern winter wheat areas will have high temperatures and normal or excessive precipitation this spring, which is favorable for winter wheat to turn green, jointing and yield formation.

Agricultural meteorological experts suggested that all regions should strengthen field classification management according to the situation of winter wheat seedlings, soil moisture and future weather trends

Scientific and effective prevention and control of crop pests and diseases is a key measure to stabilize food production

As the temperature rises, wheat stripe rust will enter a period of rapid expansion and epidemic, especially in the Hanshui Basin and Huanghuai wheat area, the precipitation is more in the early stage, and the field humidity is too high, which is conducive to the epidemic of the disease

Recently, Xu Zenghai, a senior agronomist at the Jiyang District Agricultural Technology Extension Comprehensive Service Center in Jinan City, Shandong Province, has been in the field for guidance almost every day in order to mobilize farmers to do a good job in winter wheat field management in spring

The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs said that all localities should take "worms to seize food" as an important measure to stabilize food production by every means possible

It is understood that the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs requires all localities to strengthen the implementation of responsibilities, incorporate major pest and disease prevention and control into the content of food security party and government assessments, formulate and issue technical plans for the prevention and control of major pests and diseases in wheat and other crops, and guidance on the safe use of herbicides for soybean and corn ribbon compound planting In the critical period of prevention and control, we will send elite forces to go deep into the production line, and conduct on-site training to guide farmers to carry out prevention and control

The person in charge said that the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, together with the Ministry of Finance, will allocate the central financial subsidy funds for the prevention and control of major wheat diseases and insect pests as soon as possible to support local monitoring and prevention and control work, and urge local financial investment to increase to ensure that monitoring and prevention measures are in place.
