Gansu Province Pays Attention to Management and Protects Autumn Harvest

Reporters at the Gansu Province's autumn grain field management conference recently held saw that all the films in the Suizhong County were planted in double ridges to sow corn and spit, and the growth was gratifying, and the potatoes were growing neatly and at a time of flowering. At present, there are still two months before the harvest of autumn grain crops. The growth of autumn crops is generally good in most parts of the province. All regions will effectively manage field management in the middle and late autumn crops, and strive to harvest a full harvest of autumn crops to ensure that annual grain output reaches 10 million. Ton.

Autumn grain has always been the highlight of grain production in the province, accounting for 63% of the annual grain area and 66% of total production. Due to the continuous drought in the spring and summer of this year and the adjustment of planting structure, the area of ​​summer grain is 2% lower than last year, and the total output of summer grain in the province is estimated to be 3.17 million tons, a decrease of 4.2%. The autumn grain production is of great importance to the harvest of grain in the whole year. This year, the province continues to expand in autumn and autumn. It is estimated that the province's autumn grain area will exceed 27 million mu, an increase of 1.3 million mu over the previous year, and the increase in planting area will lay a solid foundation for autumn grain production.

At present, the autumn crops such as corn and potato have entered the critical period of growth in the middle and later stages. However, since the middle and late July, the climate in our province has been extremely abnormal, and there have been more than 10 days of continuous high temperature and little rain weather, which has resulted in the phenomenon of defertilization in some plots. The pests and diseases have become more serious, which has caused adverse effects on the growth of autumn crops. In response, the meeting demanded that all regions of the province should strengthen the field management of autumn grain crops as the top priority in current agricultural production and implement various measures. Apply topdressing fertilizer and granular fertilizer to corn, spray foliar fertilizer to potato to enhance drought resistance, strengthen prevention and treatment of diseases and pests in Akita, strengthen prevention and control of corn borer, armyworm and spider mites, and catch potato late blight, Prevention and control of early blight; To establish a high-yield crop for autumn crops, promote integrated soil production technologies such as soil testing and fertilizer, water-saving irrigation, and mechanical harvesting in the demonstration area of ​​10,000 mu; strengthen disaster prevention and reduction, and carry out multiple cropping of small autumn crops.
