Ministry of Agriculture deploys drought Relief and Spring Management work to strengthen guidance and Service Promotion Section

"the Beginning of Spring" has passed, and the spring field management is being carried out one after another from south to north. Since December last year, there has been no effective precipitation in most of the northern winter wheat areas for more than 60 days, the temperature is 1-2 ℃ higher, and the surface soil moisture of some wheat fields is poor, with drought outcrops. According to the China Meteorological Administration, the temperature in the northern winter wheat region in spring is close to the same period of the year or on the high side, and severe spring drought may occur in some areas. On 13 February, the Ministry of Agriculture urgently deployed the current work of fighting drought and promoting spring management, requiring all localities to conscientiously implement the spirit of the national video conference on spring track and field management and spring ploughing and preparation work, and with a high degree of self-consciousness and firm confidence, to gain a good harvest based on disaster resistance, strengthen responsibility and implementation, do a good job in fighting drought and promoting spring management, and win the initiative for winning a bumper summer harvest.

First, strengthen the organization and launch, quickly set off an upsurge of spring pipes. At the high starting point of the "11 consecutive growth" of grain, the high protection plate to stabilize grain output is not only the need of the overall situation of reform and development, but also a test of the courage of the agricultural sector to overcome difficulties. Summer grain is the first battle of grain production in the whole year, and the main body of summer grain is wheat, which is very important to ensure the absolute safety of food rations. At present, it is an important period for field management in spring. All localities should put drought resistance and spring management at the top of the current agricultural production, make arrangements as soon as possible, do a good job in organizing and launching them, and guide farmers to never forget to fight drought and protect seedlings and wheat field management after the Lunar New year, especially to make full use of the abundant labor force when farmers return to their hometown for the Spring Festival, implement various measures to fight drought and promote spring management, and quickly set off an upsurge of field management in spring.

The second is to strengthen guidance services and promote scientific drought relief. Organize relevant experts and agrotechnical personnel to go deep into the fields to check seedlings, moisture, diseases and insect pests. On this basis, according to the occurrence and development of drought and the process of crop growth and development, we formulate targeted spring field management technical programs by regions and crops, carry out itinerant technical guidance, and vigorously promote scientific drought resistance. In view of different seedling conditions and soil moisture, guide farmers to timely water back to green, so that can be watered, should be fully watered. For the wheat fields with poor irrigation conditions, agronomic measures such as suppressing ploughing and hoeing should be taken to reduce water evaporation and increase soil moisture. At the same time, it is necessary to open up a wide range of water sources, drill wells and repair canals, improve irrigation conditions, and increase water to replenish soil moisture. Guide farmers to plow and hoe, prevent diseases and weeds in time after irrigation, and promote the transformation and upgrading of seedling conditions.

The third is to strengthen classified guidance and implement key technologies. At present, the winter wheat in southwest China is in the jointing stage, and the winter wheat in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the south of Huang-Huai River turn green one after another, which is an important stage to build a reasonable population. According to the growing situation of seedlings and the characteristics of climate, we should refine the field management plan, strengthen classified guidance, and implement the key technologies of equal emphasis on promotion and control. For the weak seedlings of southern rice stubble wheat and some dryland wheat, seize the favorable opportunity of rising temperature, do a good job in fertilizer and water regulation, clear ditch and soil moisture, promote early development and rapid growth, promote weak to strong, increase spring tiller, and build a reasonable population. For the wheat fields with prosperous growth and large population in the north of Huang-Huai, measures such as suppression and chemical control should be taken to suppress and promote down, and appropriate late watering of green water, squatting seedlings to promote strength, and prevention of lodging in the later stage. At the same time, in view of the high temperature in winter, the early occurrence of diseases and insect pests in some areas and the large base number, the key point is to do a good job of early prevention and control of stripe rust, scab, and aphids "two diseases and one pest" after the implementation of pass forward and pressure control, so as to resolutely curb the outbreak of diseases and insect pests.

Fourth, strengthen supervision and inspection to ensure the implementation of measures. During the spring period, it is necessary to strengthen emergency duty, strengthen drought dispatching, release drought information in a timely manner, scientifically judge the impact of drought, and put forward targeted measures. For some areas with rapid development and heavy impact of spring drought, it is necessary to take the form of squatting and covering films, carry out the guidance and responsibility of special personnel, and guide and assist the arid areas in the implementation of various measures to fight drought and promote spring management. Organize professional service organizations such as pest control and agricultural machinery to provide quality and efficient services to farmers in a timely manner. It is necessary to do a good job in the dispatching of agricultural materials such as seeds, chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and strengthen market supervision to meet the needs of drought-resistant spring management.

Fifth, strengthen publicity and guidance to create a good atmosphere. It is necessary to increase the intensity of information reporting, publicity and guidance, and timely reflect and publicize the implementation, work progress, and actual results of drought-resistant spring management measures. Pay close attention to and analyze the follow-up effects of drought and the difficulties and problems faced by drought-resistant spring management, and put forward targeted policy recommendations. It is necessary to give full play to the role of the news media in guiding public opinion, focus on publicizing the good experiences, good practices, and good examples of drought-resistant spring management in various places, so as to create a good atmosphere for drought-resistant spring management.
