The recent hot and humid weather has increased the risk of pests and diseases for summer soybean seedlings. During the critical period of summer management and protection, agricultural technicians came to the field to carry out pest monitoring and prevention and control to ensure stable soybean production and income in the whole region.
Wang Meilai, assistant agricultural technician of Dachuan District Agricultural Technology Station: In the early stage, we encountered heavy rain, and there was serious bird damage, and there may be a lack of nests.
At the ultra-high-yield research point of 100 acres of summer soybean net cropping in Yinzi Village, Nanyue Town, Dachuan District, agricultural technicians inspected the growth of summer soybean seedlings and instructed farmers on how to scientifically control pests and diseases in a humid and hot environment.
Li Wanrong, a villager from Yinzi Village, Nanyue Town, Dachuan District: It rained heavily before, and we were all worried that we wouldn't be able to harvest beans. Today, the technicians of the agricultural technology station gave us guidance, and we knew how to kill the pesticides.
Wang Meilai, assistant agricultural technician of Dachuan District Agricultural Technology Station: In the early rainstorm weather, the soil moisture was high, and then now it is high temperature, which is prone to blight and root rot. The key to our prevention and control at this stage is, first, to do a good job in ditch management and damp drainage, and second, to do a good job in pest control.
To produce abundant autumn grain, summer management is the key. The previous continuous heavy rainfall caused different degrees of damage to the crops planted in Nanyue Town, and the affected area of grain crops including summer soybeans reached 4,767 acres. In the face of the challenges of high humidity and high temperature, local agricultural technicians actively carried out replanting and control work to stabilize soybean production.
Jiang Xiaodong, United Front Committee Member and Deputy Mayor of Nanyue Town, Dachuan District: Next month will usher in the spring soybean harvest season, and farmers are currently organizing farmers to further do a good job in the later field management of more than 1,000 acres of spring soybeans to ensure yield. At the same time, actively carry out the management and protection of more than 1,500 acres of spring soybeans to lay a good foundation for high yield.
At present, Dachuan District has sent 4 technical teams and 25 agricultural experts to various towns and towns to carry out technical guidance, provide point-to-point technical guidance and services for farmers, and ensure a stable and bumper harvest of 57,200 mu of soybeans in the district.
