The recent heavy rainfall in El Nino has little effect on the summer harvest.

At present, China has entered the main flood season, and heavy rainfall strikes frequently. The reporter learned from the meteorological and water conservancy departments that the rainfall affected by the El Ni ñ o phenomenon may continue to develop, and the flood situation is complex and changeable. However, the rainfall in some areas at present will not have a great impact on the summer harvest and agricultural production for some time to come.

Hou Yingyu, deputy director of the Agricultural Meteorological Center of the National Meteorological Center, said, "at present, the El Ni ñ o phenomenon has basically no impact on the main summer grain producing areas in China." During the summer harvest period, it was sunny and fine in most areas, and the harvest of grain and oil crops in summer went smoothly on the whole. "

For the process of heavy rainfall on a large scale in the south, experts say that there is a certain superposition of multiple rounds of heavy rainfall, and the continuous heavy rainfall will lead to excessive soil moisture in the rain area, aggravate farmland waterlogging, and adversely affect the booting and flowering of early rice, as well as the growth and development of dryland crops such as cotton and corn. Drainage and waterlogging should be done in time in areas with frequent rainfall, and monitoring and control of diseases and insect pests should be strengthened in early rice producing areas in the south of the Yangtze River.

According to the forecast of meteorological experts, the precipitation in the south of the Yangtze River and most of South China is still 20% to 50% more in June. In this regard, the agricultural department will do a good job in the management of crops in the field, such as corn, early rice and medium rice, and implement management measures such as topdressing and raising seedlings, so as to promote the transformation of seedling conditions of affected crops. At the same time, we should strengthen the monitoring of diseases and insect pests, carry out prevention and control in a timely manner, ensure the normal growth and development of crops in the field, and make every effort to ensure a bumper grain harvest throughout the year.
