CCTV News: Now is the critical period for spring plowing and management, and the fields are busy. How is the current agricultural situation progressing? Let’s see the reporter’s report.

At present, wheat in the southwest region has entered the earring and earing stage, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River has entered the jointing stage, wheat in the Huanghuai region has begun to rise, and wheat in the northwest region is in the stage of returning to greening to getting up. Judging from the seedling conditions, although there is less rain in winter this year, various places have increased the irrigation of overwintering water and returning green water. In early March, precipitation was common in most areas across the country, and artificial rainfall increased the amount, effectively replenishing soil moisture.

Guo Wenshan, head of the wheat expert guidance group of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said: "At present, the overall proportion of seedlings in the country is high, and the seedlings in the first and second categories are better than usual, the same as last year, and the seedlings in the same crop as the previous year, with a foundation for a bumper harvest."

Experts said that local winter wheat grows unevenly, and strong seedlings coexist with weak seedlings, and there are many obstacles to achieve a bumper harvest. Local areas should implement precise measures according to the time and seedlings.

As of mid-March, 16 provinces across the country have started irrigation, with a cumulative irrigation area of ​​more than 64 million mu, of which more than 1,400 large and medium-sized irrigation areas have been started. At present, multiple digital twin irrigation areas are taking the lead in trying out, and optimize the allocation of water resources through information monitoring and perception such as water conditions, industrial conditions, soil moisture conditions, and agricultural conditions.

Yin Liming, deputy director of the Hunan Provincial Department of Water Resources, said: "In the irrigation season of the irrigation area, we predict the water demand in the irrigation area through informatization. We open up the 'last mile' and through the recovery of small water sources, we ensure that the entire area is unobstructed from the water source to the fields and ensure food security."

The temperature in Henan may exceed 30℃ next week. Pay attention to the temperature impact in spring plowing

In Henan, the maximum temperature may rise to 30 degrees Celsius at the beginning of next week. Agricultural experts remind that attention should be paid to the impact of temperature changes on wheat growth.

It is predicted that the heating process in Henan will end around next Thursday, and there will be a wave of significant cooling in the future. At present, more than 85 million acres of wheat in Henan have entered the period of getting up and knotting from south to north, which is also a critical period that determines the number of ears per mu of wheat. Meteorological experts remind that the impact of temperature changes on wheat growth should be paid in a timely manner.
