The Ministry of Agriculture organizes the action of preventing diseases and controlling pests to win a bumper harvest of autumn grain.

In order to win a bumper harvest of grain throughout the year, the majority of the harvest lies in autumn grain, and the key lies in disaster prevention and reduction, with emphasis on disease prevention and pest control. Affected by El Nino events, major diseases and pests such as rice planthopper, rice leaf borer, rice blast, corn borer and potato late blight were re-occurred, which posed a great threat to the growth and safety of autumn crops. In order to strengthen prevention and control measures, achieve "insect population to seize grain" and minimize damage losses, the Ministry of Agriculture has recently organized a campaign to prevent diseases and control pests and grab a bumper harvest of autumn grain.

The Ministry of Agriculture pointed out that the action of preventing diseases and pests and seizing a bumper harvest of autumn grain revolves around the reduction and control of pesticides and zero growth in use, focusing on controlling the occurrence and harm of major crop diseases and pests, and adhering to the principles of classified guidance and scientific prevention and control. highlight major crops, major diseases and pests, key areas and key links, strengthen monitoring and early warning, and promote unified prevention and control, green prevention and control and scientific drug use Emergency prevention and control should be carried out in a timely manner, and efforts will be made to control the losses of major diseases and insect pests within 5%, and the coverage rates of specialized unified prevention and control and green prevention and control will reach 32% and 22%, respectively, an increase of 2 percentage points over the same period last year.

The Ministry of Agriculture requires that the action of preventing diseases, controlling pests and winning a bumper harvest of autumn grain should focus on "one strengthening, three promoting". First, strengthen monitoring and early warning. On the basis of comprehensively strengthening the field survey, systematic monitoring, close tracking, comprehensive grasp of the growth and decline of major diseases and pests, timely consultation, accurate release of forecast and early warning information, clear prevention and control key objects, key areas and the best period, scientific guidance for prevention and control actions. The second is to promote scientific prevention and control. The rice planthopper adopts the measures of "pressing the front and controlling the later" to strictly prevent the sudden disaster in the later stage; the rice leaf roller strictly meets the standard control measures to highlight the protection of the upper clover; rice blast and potato late blight should pay close attention to the prevention of opening and heading and flowering; on the basis of lamp inducement, sexual inducement and bee control, the corn borer focuses on the chemical control at the big trumpet stage. The third is to promote the integration of unified defense rule and green prevention and control. Take specialized unified prevention and control as the main form, take the whole process of green prevention and control as the key content, strengthen cooperation between agricultural enterprises, carry out technology integration, direct supply of products, and guidance services, create a number of demonstration bases, integrate a number of technical models, and cultivate a number of implementation subjects. we will continue to expand the number and scale of demonstration bases for integration and promotion, and promote large-scale comprehensive treatment and pesticide reduction and control. Fourth, promote the scientific use of drugs. Popularize the new pesticide varieties with small dosage and good control effect, replace the old pesticide varieties with large dosage and poor control effect, and popularize the efficient and economical plant protection machinery to replace the old plant protection machinery. Guide the producers to choose the prescription, use the medicine to the symptom, and use the medicine in the right time according to the dose, so as to avoid blindly increasing the dosage and increasing the frequency of use. Focus on new agricultural operators and socialized service organizations, increase the popularization of scientific and safe drug use knowledge and skills training, and radiation drive farmers to correctly choose and purchase pesticides and use pesticides scientifically.

The Ministry of Agriculture stressed that the action of preventing diseases and pests and seizing a bumper harvest of autumn grain has a tight time and heavy tasks, and all localities should implement the responsibility of territorial prevention and control, increase financial support, scientifically formulate plans, refine work measures, arrange arrangements as soon as possible, do a good job in guidance and services, and strengthen supervision and guidance to ensure that prevention and control measures are put in place to win the initiative for winning a bumper harvest of autumn crops.
