The agricultural and rural bureaus of all cities and counties (cities and districts) in wheat producing areas, and the departments belong to the relevant units:

At present, wheat in the province is in the stage of grain filling and fruiting, which is the key period for the formation of wheat yield. In order to win a high-quality and bumper harvest of summer grain this year, we are now notified to do a good job in the management of the later stage of wheat production as follows:

First, we must continue to do a good job in field management in the later stage. All localities should conscientiously analyze the impact of the high temperature weather in early May and the recent overcast, rainy, and windy weather on wheat production, pay close attention to future weather changes, focus on root cultivation, leaf protection, and prevention of premature senility, and guide farmers to do a good job in foliar fertilization in the later stage. timely carry out "one spray and multiple prevention." The five spring agricultural production service guidance groups arranged by our office will continue to perform their duties and supervise and guide all localities to do a good job in the field management work in the later stage of wheat.

Second, the evaluation of the control effect of scab should be carried out actively. This year, a lot of investment and efforts have been made in the prevention and control of wheat scab in various localities, and the final effect must be evaluated and tested. All localities should organize and arrange the evaluation of the effectiveness of scab control and comprehensively sum up experiences and lessons. In the near future, our office, together with Annong University and the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences, will organize relevant experts to investigate and evaluate the occurrence and control of wheat scab in various cities.

Third, it is necessary to implement the docking of production and marketing of special wheat. All localities should work out targeted work plans, implement key measures, and solve difficulties and problems encountered in a timely manner around 22.98 million mu of high-quality special wheat, especially the docking of production and marketing of more than 307mu single variety planting units. It is necessary to give full play to the role of the country's first high-quality special wheat planting map, guide all kinds of grain users to "wheat" according to demand, implement the docking of production and marketing of high-quality special wheat, and ensure single harvest, single storage, and single processing on a single basis, to ensure that good grain sells at a good price. It is necessary to innovate propaganda methods, actively publicize and report the good experiences, good measures, and good models of the docking of high-quality special wheat production and marketing in various places, and strive to create a good atmosphere of public opinion.

Fourth, it is necessary to make arrangements for summer harvest as soon as possible. All localities should take measures in accordance with local conditions, and according to the local wheat planting area, weather, and the distribution of machinery and tools, formulate a specific wheat rush harvest work plan in time, organize oil sources, implement the maintenance of agricultural machinery and tools and machine training, and prepare for machine harvesting. It is necessary to do a good job in organizing and dispatching, promptly open green channels for cross-district operation of agricultural machinery and special refueling channels for agricultural machinery, and promote orderly rush harvesting. It is necessary to strengthen the investigation of operational accidents and rectification of hidden dangers, ensure production safety, smooth transfer, and standardize operations, and strive to basically complete the task of wheat rush harvest in the province in about 10 days. It is necessary to dry or mechanically dry into the warehouse in time to avoid the impact of overcast and rainy weather on yield, prevent wheat mycotoxins caused by moisture from exceeding the standard, and strive to improve the commodity quality of summer grain.
