Last year, there was a very serious autumn flood in the winter wheat area of the mainland, and the wheat sowing period was generally delayed. Pan Wenbo, director of the Department of Crop Industry Management of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said at the press conference of the State Council New Office today (January 20) that the main problem at present is that the proportion of late-sown wheat is relatively large, and the growth trend of seedlings before winter is indeed weak. According to expert analysis, the growth period of wheat is relatively long, there is a lot of room for maneuver, in the past there were also times when the sowing period was delayed, as long as the sowing was carried out before winter, the management measures after the opening of spring could keep up, and there was still hope for a bumper harvest.

Pan Wenbo said that today is a big cold, the agricultural proverb says "the big cold three white fixed good year", the big cold this day snow, is a good omen. We have already formulated a work plan and technical plan for a bumper harvest of summer grain and wheat; based on the word "early," we should do a good job in the word "promotion," increase fertilization and fertilization, promote the transformation of the weak into strong, prevent diseases and control grasses, promote robustness, and do everything possible to seize this year's bumper summer grain and wheat harvest, so as to win the initiative for the stable development of grain throughout the year.
