Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs: Do everything possible to seize this year's summer grain and wheat harvest

On January 20, the State Council New Office held a press conference on the operation of the agricultural and rural economy in 2021, and Pan Wenbo, director of the Department of PlantAtion Management of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said that every effort should be made to seize this year's summer grain and wheat harvest and win the initiative for the stable development of grain throughout the year.

According to Pan Wenbo, a very serious autumn flood occurred in the winter wheat area in 2021, and the wheat sowing period was generally delayed. The central government has introduced targeted support policies in a timely manner, and various localities have taken extraordinary measures to go all out to grasp the autumn and winter seeds.

"According to the dispatch of agricultural conditions, although the sowing period of winter wheat is a little late, the area is basically implemented and basically stable." Pan Wenbo said that grassroots comrades said that most of the wheat can be sown at the full level, especially some dryland wheat that cannot be sown all year round has also been sown this year, and the seedlings are better, and the sowing of late wheat plots has increased the sowing volume. The temperature in November and December 2021 is generally high, so the accumulated temperature before winter is more, and wheat grows better than expected before winter.

Pan Wenbo pointed out that the main problem at present is that the proportion of late-sown wheat is relatively large, and the growth 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. ”

"We have formulated a work plan and technical plan for a bumper harvest of grain and wheat in the summer, and as soon as the spring begins, the agricultural and rural departments at all levels will throw down and suppress their strength, base themselves on the word 'early,' do a good job of the word 'promotion,' increase fertilization and fertilization, promote the transformation of the weak into strong, prevent diseases and control the grass, promote the strengthening of the strong, 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." Pan Wenbo said. (End)
