After Henan suffered floods caused by extreme rainfall, people were very concerned about the recovery of agricultural production after the disaster, and whether autumn grain production could remain stable. Recently, the reporter went deep into the front line to understand the crop production in Henan in autumn.
As a major grain producing province, Henan recently suffered floods, but what is the recovery of agricultural production after the disaster? This reporter recently visited many places and learned that all the land plots in Henan Province that meet the conditions for the harvest have been replanted, and the disaster-stricken plots have also uniformly strengthened post-disaster management and accelerated crop recovery and growth; grain crops in unpoiled areas have grown better than usual, and autumn grain production has been basically stable.
Speed up replanting
Walking on the land of Weihui City in Xinxiang, Henan, the scene of more than a month ago is still vividly remembered, 10,000 acres of farmland, a vast ocean. Today, the floods have receded and farmland has changed.
In Liulitang Village, Shangle Village, Weihui City, as far as the eye can see, the yellow-brown corn stands tenaciously, the replanted mung beans also sprout young shoots, and the 10,000 acres of affected farmland are recovering their vitality.
"After the water receded, we carried out the investigation and remediation of the affected crops at the first time, supplemented the nutrients for the crops in the affected plots, and replanted the crops for the harvested plots." Gao Shuai, deputy secretary of the party committee of Shangle Village, told reporters that the government invited agricultural technicians to guide the post-disaster production management of corn and vegetables in groups and villages, and at the same time, guided the vast number of peasant households to actively replant and change seeds. In accordance with the principle of suitable planting and replanting, replanting and replanting, encourage the planting of vegetables, mung beans and other early-maturing and short-season crops.
On the harvest plots in Liulitang Village, most farmers choose to replant mung beans. Talking about the reasons, Jie Baimei, deputy director of the Weihui Municipal Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, told reporters that the early maturing high-yield planting of mung beans, the growth period is only 60 days, does not affect the planting of winter wheat, and is easy to store, there is no need to worry about the problem of later sales, is an excellent disaster relief replantage crop. "We tell the people about the crop varieties and advantages and disadvantages that we can choose, and it is up to them to choose what to plant."
In Liulitang Village, villager Li Baomin chose to plant vegetable crops such as early-ripening radish and cabbage. With the help of the Xinxiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Li Baomin's 10 acres of vegetable fields are already green and lush, and they will soon be able to harvest.
At first, Li Baomin was a little worried about changing to vegetables. "We are accustomed to growing wheat and corn, and we really have no management experience for early-ripening vegetables, and we are afraid of not planting well, and we are afraid that they will not sell when they are ripe." Li Baomin told reporters.
However, Li Baomin's concerns were quickly dispelled. "The Academy of Agricultural Sciences provides seeds, technical support, three days and two ends to check the situation, but also to ensure that the sales link continues to provide support, which I am not worried about." Li Baomin said with a smile.
Zhang Xu, vice president of the Xinxiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences, told reporters that Li Baomin's corn can get an income of 900 yuan per mu if it grows normally, while now it only takes two months to mature cabbage and radish, which can bring 3,000 yuan per mu.
With the full help of xinxiang academy of agricultural sciences, Weihui municipal agricultural bureau and other departments, not only the replanting and replanting work in Shangle Village and Town has been carried out smoothly, but also the replanting and replanting work of more than 2,400 mu of affected land in Dongwan Village, Liyuantun Town, has only taken 3 days!
The reporter learned that as of now, Weihui City has issued a total of 1,087.5 kilograms of post-disaster seeds, 73,000 mu of replanted crops, and issued 9.1089 million yuan of subsidies for replanting and replanting.
Local policies are used to reduce losses
"When the water level is at its highest level, it reaches 3.5 meters, and the farmland is almost equivalent to the "seabed". On the afternoon of September 1, Dong Wenquan, director of the Agricultural Technology Extension Center of the Agricultural and Rural Bureau of Xun County, Hebi City, Henan Province, stood in front of the demonstration party of 300,000 mu of high-standard grain fields affected by the disaster and described the scene during the flood to reporters.
The reporter saw that on the branches of the same height around the grain field, the remnants of corn were neatly wrapped, and the corn that originally grew in the grain field had long disappeared, and there was a scene of no harvest.
When the flood receded, why didn't the harvest plots be replanted? Dong Wenquan explained why. Since mid-July, Xun County, as the main discharge area of the main rainfall area, has encountered a historical extreme of heavy rainfall and flooding process. "The water is too deep, the drainage takes up a lot of time, and the deep ploughing conditions have just arrived and the rain in late August has arrived, and the time is not allowed to change the plant."
Dong Wenquan said that at present, Xun County implements unified prevention and control over plots that have not yet been harvested, and sprays a series of measures such as foliar fertilizer to ensure that the yield reduction is controlled within 10 percent; drainage and drying of the harvested plots, and sow winter wheat after deep ploughing in September.
In the high-quality peanut modern agricultural industrial park of Fengfeng Agricultural Junxian County in Shantang Town, the staff is setting up a pest prediction and early warning Internet of Things system, and under the large sprinkler irrigation drip irrigation machine, tens of thousands of acres of vibrant peanuts are transmitting the message of harvest.
"Shantang Town itself does not belong to the flood storage area, coupled with the sandy land structure in the plain area, the water comes and drains quickly." Liu Cunwang, head of the industrial park, told reporters that the special soil structure determines that this rainfall will not affect the growth of 10,000 mu of peanuts.
During the conversation, Liu Cunwang trotted all the way and pulled out a few fresh peanuts from the peanut field to show everyone, the peanuts were full of grains, fresh and sweet. "In 10 days or so, the peanuts will be harvested, and the peanuts will be fuller than they are now." He told reporters with confidence.
As one of the first batch of modern agricultural demonstration areas in China, Shantang peanuts have realized the whole process of automatic operation from sowing to harvesting to re-selection of fruits. According to the situation in previous years, Liu Cunwang estimates that "this year's flower growth is gratifying, and the output value per mu will be more than 3200 yuan."
The foundation for stable autumn grain production is still in place
As the largest grain producing city in Henan Province, Zhoukou's autumn grain production accounts for more than 40% of the total grain production in the whole year, which is related to the realization of the annual grain production target and the income of farmers.
On August 28, at a special press conference in Henan Province to speed up the post-disaster reconstruction of Zhoukou, Zhang Hua, director of the Zhoukou Municipal Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, introduced that the autumn grain planting area in Zhoukou City this year was 9.576 million mu, an increase of 36,000 mu over the previous year.
Zhang Hua explained that on the one hand, this year's high-yield crop corn planting area reached 7.463 million mu, an increase of 601,000 mu over the previous year, although part of the disaster, but the corn area increased a lot, the potential for increasing production is large, this alone is expected to increase the output of more than 400 million catties. On the other hand, the nearly 8 million mu of autumn grain crops that have not been affected by the disaster are growing happily, showing a trend of increasing production, such as no more extreme weather in the later period, which is expected to partially make up for the damage losses and make up for the losses with abundance. In addition, the total output of summer grain this year reached 11.081 billion catties, an increase of 115 million catties over last year, so this year is still expected to complete the annual grain production target task.
The reporter visited many places and learned that Weihui, XunXian County, Zhoukou and even the whole province of Henan have been replanted to meet the conditions of the harvest plots, and the affected plots have also been uniformly organized by the county-level government to spray foliar fertilizers and insecticides and fungicides to speed up the recovery and growth of crops.
According to relevant data from the Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of Henan Province, as of September 7, 2.57 million mu of crops have been replanted in the harvest plots in Henan Province, 8.88 million mu of fertilizer management operations have been completed in the affected plots, 14.65 million mu of crop disease and pest control and 9.03 million mu of fertilizer have been applied in the disaster-free plots. "The more than 60 million mu of autumn grain crops that were not affected by the disaster are growing well and are expected to partially compensate for the losses." Yang Yajun, deputy director of the Grain Crops Division of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of Henan Province, told reporters. Reporter Xia Xianqing yang zipei
