Prevention and control of pests and disasters to boost grain "eleven consecutive increases"

"xerophytic insects, wet disease", the climate is changeable, diseases and insect pests occur year after year. This year's climate change has led to the recurrence of diseases, pests and other biological disasters. With a high degree of self-consciousness and firm confidence, agricultural departments at all levels have not loosely grasped the prevention and control of diseases and pests, ensured a bumper harvest, and played an important role in realizing the "11th consecutive increase" of grain.

Monitoring and early warning is accurate. According to the climate change and the growth and development process of crops, 1029 regional stations for the prediction and prediction of major diseases and pests are organized to monitor the source areas, migrating epidemic transition zones and perennial recurrence areas of major diseases and pests, so as to grasp the dynamics of the occurrence of diseases and insect pests as soon as possible. timely release forecast and early warning information to guide effective and scientific prevention and control in various places.

The work is arranged early. In view of the trend of the occurrence of diseases and pests in spring and autumn this year, on the basis of strengthening monitoring, we organized and carried out the "actions to prevent and control diseases and pests to win a bumper harvest of grain and oil in summer" and "to prevent and control pests to win a bumper harvest in autumn", extensively mobilized, classified guidance, and promoted in different areas. we will do a good job in the battle for disease prevention and pest control, and effectively reduce the harm of diseases and pests. In particular, in view of the possible outbreak of scab in the Jianghuai region in April and May this year, we organized early monitoring, early warning, and early prevention in relevant provinces to effectively contain the outbreak of scab. One of the important reasons for the good quality of wheat harvested in summer this year is that scab is less harmful and diseased grains and ears are lower.

Prevention and control measures are practical. During the critical period of the occurrence of diseases and insect pests, the Ministry of Agriculture successively issued technical programs for the prevention and control of major diseases and pests in major crops such as wheat, rice, and corn, organized 100 experts to carry out itinerant guidance, and paid close attention to the implementation of key prevention and control measures. Regional, sub-held prevention and control on-the-spot meetings, vigorously promote autumn sowing and seed dressing, "one spray three prevention" and other key technologies. The prevention and control measures of "taking the initiative to attack wheat scab and rice blast" were carried out, which effectively curbed the epidemic in a large area. The measures of "moving the gate forward, pressing before and after controlling" were implemented for wheat aphids and rice "two-migration" pests, which effectively reduced the risk of sudden damage in the later stage.

The rule of unified defense is wide. We will deeply carry out the "tens of millions" campaign of specialized unified prevention and control, establish 218 demonstration zones for the integration of specialized unified defense and green prevention and control, and demonstrate and drive the development of unified prevention and control in a large area, effectively improving the efficiency, effectiveness and efficiency of pest control. According to statistics, this year, the area of specialized unified control of diseases and insect pests in wheat, rice and corn is 1.03 billion mu, with a coverage rate of 30%, an increase of 5% over the previous year. The integration of unified control and green prevention and control has promoted a 20% reduction in the use of chemical pesticides in the demonstration area.

There is a lot of support. This year, the central government continued to implement the policy of "one spray, three control" for wheat and subsidies for the unified control of major crop diseases and pests, with a total investment of 2.35 billion yuan. It has strongly supported the smooth development of the prevention and control of major diseases and pests, such as wheat scab, aphids at ear stage, rice "two-migration" pests and rice blast.

In the action of "preventing diseases and insects and winning a bumper harvest", localities at all levels have increased policy support one after another to promote the transformation of prevention and control methods from "human-backed machines" to professional and socialized prevention and control while preventing and reducing disasters. Among them, Zhejiang Province has fully implemented subsidies for the unified control of rice diseases and insect pests, with a standard of 40 yuan per mu; Jiangsu Province has allocated 35 million yuan specifically for the employment subsidies for the unified control of rice diseases and insect pests; in addition, Shandong, Henan, Hunan and other provinces have included agricultural aviation plant protection machinery in the scope of provincial subsidies for the purchase of agricultural machinery.
