Idle in winter becomes busy in winter: the whole country will speed up the deployment of autumn and winter planting work!

With the arrival of "Cold Dew" solar terms, the national autumn and winter seed production has been carried out in an all-round way from north to south. Planting in autumn and winter is the first battle of grain and oil production in the following year, and is the basis of a bumper grain harvest in the coming year. According to the latest news from the Ministry of Agriculture and villages, this year's autumn and winter seed production will strive to stabilize the area of winter wheat at more than 330 million mu, the proportion of high-quality special wheat by 2 percentage points over the previous year, and the area of winter rape at more than 100 million mu.

Overcome the challenge of unfavorable factors and pay close attention to the autumn and winter varieties

"it has been raining for several days in a row, and as soon as it clears up tomorrow, we can plant wheat in the field." After two consecutive years of bumper harvests, Chen Wuchen, a major grain grower in Shilipu Village, Shaodian Town, Shangcai County, Henan Province, is full of confidence. As soon as the autumn harvest was over, the 200mu family farm prepared 5000 jin of high-quality wheat seeds and 10 tons of chemical fertilizer, everything was ready, and finally came to make up for the autumn rain of sowing soil moisture in winter.

Since the beginning of this year, China's agricultural and rural development has maintained a good momentum of steady progress, with a bumper harvest of summer grain and early rice, more than half of the harvest of autumn grain, an obvious trend of increasing production, and grain production is expected to achieve "sixteen continuous harvests." It is of great significance to deal with various risks and challenges to do a good job in agricultural production in autumn and winter and consolidate the foundation for a bumper harvest of grain and oil next summer.

Zhang Taolin, vice minister of agriculture and villages, said that there are multiple favorable conditions for planting crops in autumn and winter this year. The state will continue to implement the policy of minimum purchase price for wheat, and opinions on promoting oil production and increasing supply will be issued soon, and some major producing provinces have issued policies to support the production of high-quality wheat and rape. The soil surface moisture and soil moisture in Huang-Huai-Hai wheat area are relatively sufficient. The supply of agricultural materials such as seeds and chemical fertilizers is excellent.

At the same time, autumn and winter seed production is also faced with some challenges. The meteorological department predicts that from October to November, the precipitation in China will be "more in the north than in the south". In particular, the meteorological drought in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River may further develop, which will affect the timely sowing and normal emergence of wheat and rape. Due to the drought in some areas of Huang-Huai some time ago, the growth process of corn was delayed and the harvest time was postponed. The expansion of high-quality rice with a longer growth period in the southern rice region also occupied the planting time of wheat, rape and other crops.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Village requires that agricultural and rural departments at all levels should take the development of production to ensure the effective supply of grain and important agricultural products as the primary task, further understand the importance and urgency of planting in autumn and winter, and strive to do a good job in planting in autumn and winter.

Green production and structure optimization

In Lixian County, a traditional rapeseed planting county in Changde City, Hunan Province, in recent years, due to the increasing market attention to the nutritional value of rapeseed oil and the development of rapeseed sea tourism economy, the local rape planting enthusiasm has been continuously improved.

Hou Zuping, deputy director of the Lixian Agricultural and Rural Bureau, said that this year, the vast majority of local growers have chosen new varieties represented by the oil series, which is not only healthier, but also has a higher oil production rate, and is more suitable for mechanized harvesting.

Stable yield, quality improvement, excellent structure and transformation mode have become the outstanding characteristics of this autumn and winter. The Ministry of Agriculture and villages has made it clear that autumn and winter planting should further promote the structural reform of the agricultural supply side.

Stable production capacity, area is the foundation. Winter wheat and winter rape, as the two largest crops in autumn and winter, can make full use of the resources of light and temperature in autumn and winter, and basically do not compete for land with other crops. in particular, there are tens of millions of mu of winter fallow fields in the south, which can not only increase the source of oil and protein feed, but also cultivate the land. All localities should conscientiously implement policies such as the minimum purchase price for wheat and incentives for major grain (oil) producing counties, and guide farmers to expand their planting of summer grain and oil crops. This year, the state has included the use of winter fallow fields in the Yangtze River basin to expand the planting of rape, and all localities should encourage farmers to develop more winter fallow fields to grow rape.

To improve the quality, the key point is to improve the quality of tillage and sowing and the rate of technical arrival. All localities should give full play to the role of agricultural machinery as the main force and vigorously promote technical models such as returning straw to the field, deep loosening and soil preparation, precision sowing, and post-sowing suppression. For the source areas of stripe rust and the re-occurrence areas of scab, disease-resistant varieties should be selected, seed coating and chemical seed dressing should be carried out.

Green production and layout optimization are more prominent in autumn and winter. The Ministry of Agriculture and Village requires to vigorously promote cost-saving and efficiency-increasing technical models, such as integration of water and fertilizer, sprinkler irrigation, precision fertilization, green prevention and control, wide precision sowing, three-dimensional uniform sowing, and so on. Wheat should focus on high-quality, strong and weak gluten varieties, rape should focus on developing "double-low" varieties with low erucic acid and glucosinolates, and new varieties with high yield, high oil and high oleic acid. In the Jianghuai area with heavy occurrence of scab, we should appropriately reduce susceptible wheat and change to varieties with strong resistance or rape and other crops; in the funnel area of groundwater in North China, measures such as seasonal fallow, development of forage grass and green manure should be well implemented.

Idle in winter, busy in winter, increasing production and increasing income.

Zhang Taolin said that while doing a good job of planting autumn and winter crops, agricultural and rural departments at all levels should strengthen overall planning and coordination to promote various key tasks.

Do a good job of harvesting autumn grain. The north is being harvested in a large area, and the rice area in the south is about to open its sickle. All localities should rationally arrange the harvest schedule, do a good job in the deployment of suitable machines and tools, organize cross-district machine harvesting, and achieve timely harvest and granule return to the warehouse. At the same time, do a good job in autumn soil preparation, autumn film mulching and other work. The agricultural season in Northeast and Northwest China is tight before winter, so it is necessary to plan ahead and implement measures such as returning straw to the field, mechanical deep loosening, and mechanical film mulching, so as to lay a good foundation for spring sowing next year.

We will promote agricultural development in winter. All localities should fully tap the potential of increasing agricultural production and income in winter, do a good job in agricultural development in winter, truly turn winter leisure into winter busy, and promote agricultural production and farmers' income. The southern region focuses on the development of winter potatoes, winter corn, open field vegetables and other crops, while the northern region makes great efforts to develop facility vegetables, plant eggplant fruits and melons with high economic benefits, and improve the vegetable supply capacity of large and medium-sized cities.

He said: as autumn grain is about to be put on the market, agricultural and rural departments should actively cooperate with relevant departments to do a good job in purchasing autumn grain, strengthen information services, guide multiple subjects to actively enter the market, and protect the interests of farmers. New Year's Day and the Spring Festival are approaching, and while doing a good job in production, all localities should strengthen market monitoring, do a good job in the connection between production and marketing, and stabilize market supply.
