On July 20, the Information Office of the State Council held a press conference, and the Ministry of agriculture and rural areas introduced the operation of agricultural and rural economy in the first half of 2022< Br > < div class= "contheight" > < / div > liulihua, head of the planting management department of the Ministry of agriculture and rural areas, said that summer grain, early rice, autumn grain, three seasons of grain, summer grain has been harvested, with an increase of 2.87 billion jin, early rice harvest of more than 60%, the output is expected to remain stable. It laid a foundation for a bumper harvest of grain throughout the year, and provided support for stabilizing prices, stabilizing expectations, increasing confidence, and stabilizing the overall economic market. The bulk of grain production in the whole year is autumn grain, which accounts for 75%. Whether we can achieve a bumper harvest of grain in the whole year depends on autumn grain. There is still a certain foundation for this year’s autumn harvest, mainly due to two judgments:

< /div> one judgment is that the area has increased. At present, except for some double cropping late rice and late autumn grain crops, most of the autumn grain area has been landed. It is preliminarily estimated that the area of autumn grain this year is expected to exceed 1.3 billion mu, an increase over the previous year. The area is mainly increased in three aspects: first, all localities should take responsibility for compaction layer by layer, renovate abandoned land, clean up “non grain”, develop inter planting, and strive to plant enough seeds; Second, during the spring and summer sowing period, the meteorological conditions are generally favorable, and the soil moisture is relatively good. For example, those in southern China that could not be planted due to drought last year have also been planted this year; Third, grain prices are relatively good, and farmers are more motivated to grow grain< Br > < div class= "contheight" > < /div> another judgment is that the growth is generally normal. The bulk of autumn grain is in the northeast, which accounts for more than 1/3 of autumn grain. This year, most of the Northeast has good rainfall and sufficient moisture content. In addition to the waterlogging of farmland and the disaster of some corn caused by heavy rainfall in some areas, crops in most areas are growing better than usual. The growth of rice in the south is also generally normal. Corn and soybeans are mainly used in the Huang Huai Hai and northwest regions, and the growth is also good< Br > < div class= "contheight" > < / div > now there are more than two months to harvest autumn grain. The three months of July, August and September are not only the key period for the growth and yield formation of autumn grain, but also the period of frequent occurrence of disasters such as drought, flood and typhoon, or the most serious time of pests and diseases. There are still many checkpoints to capture a bumper harvest of autumn grain, and the task is still very arduous. Next, the focus is on three things:

< /div> first, the implementation of the area. The key is to ensure that late rice and late autumn crops should be planted at the appropriate sowing time, especially to guide the areas where “two seasons are less than one season and more than one season” to strive to develop ratooning rice. If one mu can be increased, it is one mu, and if one mu can be increased, it is one season< Br > < div class= "contheight" > < /div> the second is to do a good job in autumn grain field management. Formulate technical opinions on improving the field management of autumn grain by crops and regions, continue to organize the provincial and scientific and technological team of the Ministry of agriculture and rural areas to go deep into the production line, guide farmers to do a good job in the fertilizer and water management of autumn grain, implement key measures, ensure safety and maturity, and promote the improvement of unit yield< Br > < div class= "contheight" > < /div> the third is to do a good job in disaster prevention and reduction. The key is to do a good job in preventing floods, summer drought, high temperature and heat damage, typhoons, early frost, cold dew wind and other disasters, so as to achieve “Longkou seizes grain”. We will strengthen the prevention and control of major pests and diseases, such as the “three areas and four belts” of Spodoptera graminearum, and the “two migration” pests of rice, so as to achieve “insect mouth seizing grain”.
