The beginning of autumn is coming soon, and the weather is still quite hot. Although the dates on the calendar remind us that autumn is about to begin, the scorching sun and the humidity in the air don't seem to abate because of this. Walking on the streets, people can still feel the aftermath of summer, sweat sliding down their foreheads, dripping on the hot ground, and evaporating in an instant.
The laws of nature are always irresistible, and the change of seasons unfolds quietly. How are crops growing during this transition period? Will they be able to thrive in high temperatures and humidity for the upcoming harvest season?
The high temperature and high humidity in summer, although uncomfortable for humans, are a golden period for some crops. The high temperature environment can speed up the metabolism of plants and promote the progress of photosynthesis, thereby accelerating plant growth.
As autumn approaches, many crops are also entering a critical period of growth. Autumn is the harvest season, and many crops such as wheat, corn, soybeans, etc., need to accumulate enough nutrients at this time to prepare for maturity. These crops have different water requirements during their growth. Wheat and corn require more water in the early stages of growth and less water in the ripening stage to promote fullness and dryness of the grains. Soybeans, on the other hand, need to be well hydrated throughout the growing cycle to keep them growing and bearing fruit.
The beginning of autumn is the first solar term of autumn, which indicates that the weather will gradually become cooler and the crops will enter the maturity period. Farmers adjust their farming activities, such as irrigation and fertilization, according to the climatic characteristics of the beginning of autumn, to ensure that the crops can ripen smoothly under suitable climatic conditions.
From the beginning of autumn to the beginning of autumn, the growth of crops will undergo a significant transformation. After the beginning of autumn, the weather gradually turns from hot to cool, the sunshine hours decrease, and the temperature difference between day and night increases. These changes have a positive impact on the growth of crops. The increase in the temperature difference between day and night contributes to the accumulation of sugars, which makes fruits and vegetables sweeter. At the same time, the cool climate is also conducive to the ripening of crops and reduces the occurrence of pests and diseases.
Although the beginning of autumn signifies the beginning of autumn, the actual climate does not immediately become cooler. Especially in the southern region, there will still be a period of hot weather after the beginning of autumn, commonly known as the "autumn tiger". This weather has a certain impact on the growth of crops, and farmers need to pay special attention to irrigation and pest control to ensure that crops can survive this period smoothly.
The beginning of autumn in 2024 will be on August 7, and the time will be between 3 and 5 p.m. This point in time is of great guiding significance for the growth of crops and the agricultural activities of farmers. According to this point in time, farmers can reasonably arrange agricultural activities such as harvesting and sowing.
There is a proverb that says, "The beginning of autumn in the morning, the cold is souring; The beginning of autumn in the afternoon, the hot cow dies", this agricultural proverb has been circulated for a long time, which reflects people's observation and summary of the relationship between the beginning of autumn time and the climate. "The beginning of autumn in the morning, cold and cold" means that if the beginning of autumn occurs in the morning, then the subsequent weather may be cooler, which is conducive to the growth of crops and people's daily life. "Beginning of autumn in the afternoon, hot cattle to death" means that if the beginning of autumn occurs in the afternoon, then the hot weather may last for a while, bringing certain challenges to crops and people's lives.
For the month of the beginning of autumn, the time of the beginning of autumn in the lunar calendar is not fixed, it will vary according to the calculation method of the lunar calendar, sometimes in the sixth month of the lunar calendar, sometimes in the seventh month of the lunar calendar. If the beginning of autumn occurs in the sixth month of the lunar calendar, the growth of crops may be affected to a certain extent as the weather is still hot at this time. And if the beginning of autumn occurs in the seventh lunar month, as the weather gradually cools, the growing conditions of crops will improve, which is conducive to the ripening and harvesting of crops.
There is also a saying that "lost in early autumn, harvested in late autumn, and died in the heat of Mid-Autumn Festival." The word "di" here refers to the ripening and harvesting of crops. "Early autumn" refers to the early beginning of autumn. The meaning of this sentence is that if the beginning of autumn comes early, then the crops may ripen earlier, and farmers can harvest earlier. This is often related to climatic conditions, with an early onset of autumn likely to mean earlier cooler weather, favoring the ripening of certain crops.
"Late autumn harvest" corresponds to "early autumn loss", and "late autumn" refers to the late beginning of autumn. If the beginning of autumn comes late, then the ripening of crops may be delayed, and farmers will need to wait until later to harvest. A late fall start can mean longer periods of hot weather, which can prolong the growth cycle of crops.
The "Mid-Autumn Festival" here does not refer to the Mid-Autumn Festival, but to the middle period of the beginning of the autumn season. "Hot dead cow" is an exaggeration to describe very hot weather. The meaning of this phrase is that if the weather is still very hot in the middle of the autumn season, it is not good for crops and livestock. For crops, persistent high temperatures may affect their normal growth and even lead to reduced yields; For domestic animals, hot weather can increase the pressure on their survival.
There is a saying that goes, "At the beginning of autumn in June, new graves are everywhere; The beginning of autumn in July, the autumn grain is piled up", this agricultural proverb expresses people's deep understanding of the relationship between the beginning of autumn and the crop harvest. "The beginning of autumn in June, new graves everywhere" means that if the beginning of autumn occurs in the sixth month of the lunar calendar, the growth of crops may be affected due to the hot weather, resulting in a poor harvest or even a poor harvest. And "the beginning of autumn in July, piles of autumn grains" means that if the beginning of autumn occurs in the seventh lunar month, as the weather cools and the growing conditions of crops improve, the harvest will be better, and farmers can look forward to a good harvest season.
Judging from the specific situation, the beginning of autumn in 2024 falls specifically in June of the lunar calendar. This point in time has a significant impact on the harvest of crops. According to the calculation method of the lunar calendar, the lunar date of the beginning of autumn in 2024 is the twenty-third day of June, and the day of the Ganzhi is Jiachen.
According to the agricultural proverb, "At the beginning of autumn in June, new graves are everywhere; The beginning of autumn in July, the autumn valley is piled up", and the beginning of autumn in 2024 is in the sixth month of the lunar calendar, so people may have some concerns about the autumn harvest. However, the agricultural proverb also reminds us that climate and weather changes are complex and changeable, and we cannot rely solely on the prediction of solar terms and dry days. Farmers need to be flexible in adjusting their farming activities according to actual weather changes and crop growth to ensure maximum harvests.
In this volatile natural world, climate and weather have a profound impact on the growth of crops. So, how do you think this year's beginning of autumn will affect the crop harvest? Are you ready for climate change? Let's think about this together and share your thoughts and experiences in the comment section.
