Make early arrangements to fight disasters scientifically and try our best to win a bumper harvest of autumn grain

At present, it is not only the critical period of "seven under eight flood control and drought relief", but also the key period for the growth and development of autumn grain and disaster prevention and reduction. On July 26, the Ministry of Agriculture held a national on-the-spot meeting on the disaster prevention and harvest of autumn grain in Sichuan to deploy and arrange the field management work of autumn grain focusing on disaster prevention and reduction. Yu Xinrong, vice minister of the Ministry of Agriculture, stressed at the meeting that agricultural departments at all levels should resolutely implement the spirit of the important instructions of the central leadership on doing a good job of grain production, firmly stabilize the goal of increasing grain income, and with a high degree of self-consciousness and confidence, based on disaster resistance and win a bumper harvest, make early arrangements, make scientific responses, strengthen measures, and solidly carry out the "action of strengthening scientific service, scientific resistance and harvest of autumn crops." Try our best to win a bumper harvest of autumn grain and hand in a beautiful answer paper.

Yu Xinrong pointed out that summer grain won the first battle, and early rice had a bumper harvest, which boosted the confidence of another bumper harvest. However, autumn grain accounts for most of the grain production in the whole year, and there are still many hurdles to go through, so it is an arduous task to resist disasters and win a bumper harvest. At present, it is necessary to pay close attention to and scientifically judge the adverse effects of El Nino on autumn grain production. We should make preparations as soon as possible to prevent autumn drought, high temperature and heat damage, early frost in the northeast and "Cold Dew wind" in the south. At the same time, major migratory and epidemic diseases and insect pests such as rice planthopper, rice leaf roller, rice blast, corn borer and potato late blight should be prevented.

Yu Xinrong stressed that the agricultural season is urgent and the task of disaster prevention and reduction is arduous. Agricultural departments at all levels should strengthen guidance services, give prominence to science and technology against disasters, push forward region by region, implement measures, closely link them, do not give way, and do a good job in the production of autumn grain. First, we should pay attention to "robbing" to protect the area. In the area of double-cropping late rice in the south, we should do a good job in the dispatching of machines and tools, speed up the harvest of early rice, transplant in time, achieve the right time for planting, win time for safe full heading, and strive to stabilize the area at last year's level. Second, we should pay attention to the "management" to increase the yield per unit area. We will formulate technical plans by region, by crop and by season, solidly promote the establishment of high grain production and tackle key problems in the model of increasing grain production, speed up the implementation of regional standardized high-yield and high-efficiency technologies, and promote balanced production in a large area. Third, we should pay attention to "resistance" to ensure safety. The northeast region should give prominence to preventing autumn drought and early frost, focusing on "accumulating temperature and promoting early maturity" to ensure safe maturity, the southern region should give prominence to preventing low temperature, overcast and rain and "Cold Dew wind", and ensuring safe full ears. Huang-Huai-Hai summer corn producing areas should give prominence to preventing summer and autumn drought and ensuring safe maturity, and the northwest and southwest regions should prominently guard against drought and low temperature and rain, preserve moisture and seedlings, increase temperature and promote strength. Fourth, we should pay attention to "prevention" and reduce losses. Give full play to the role of 1209 major pest detection and forecasting regional stations, organize plant protection personnel to go deep into the fields to check the pest situation, timely and accurately monitor, vigorously carry out unified prevention and control, joint prevention and control, and group control, and resolutely curb the outbreak of diseases and pests.
