In our agrarian society, the hard work of farmers is the cornerstone of our food security. However, their efforts are often misled by some so-called "pseudo-experts", whose false statements and suggestions can have serious consequences for agricultural production. Recently, there has been a movement among some farming communities to protect wheat from frost by removing snow and covering them with greenhouses in winter. This seemingly reasonable suggestion is in fact a misleading one that lacks scientific basis.
First of all, we need to understand the growth habits and cold tolerance of wheat. Wheat is a winter crop whose growth cycle happens to cover the winter season. In the natural environment, wheat can adapt to low temperature environments and resist frost damage to a certain extent. In fact, moderate low temperatures are beneficial for wheat growth, as it stimulates wheat's cold-resistant mechanisms and enhances its resistance to pests and diseases.
So, why is there a saying that "snow removal and greenhouses are built for wheat fields"?This is mainly due to the misunderstanding of wheat growth characteristics and the lack of knowledge of agricultural production by some "pseudo-experts". They may believe that snow will crush the wheat, or that low temperatures will be fatal to the wheat. However, this is not the case. Snow not only does not crush the wheat, but can play a role in heat preservation and moisturizing, which is conducive to the overwintering of wheat. The low temperature, as long as it is within the tolerance range of wheat, will not have a serious impact on its growth.
More importantly, the operation of removing snow from wheat fields and building greenhouses can create a series of problems in itself. First of all, snow removal requires a lot of labor and time, which is an unnecessary burden for farmers. Secondly, the construction and maintenance of greenhouses also requires a large investment of money and resources, which is difficult for many smallholder farmers to bear. Finally, the environment in the greenhouse is quite different from the natural environment, which may have a negative impact on the growth of wheat, such as affecting light, ventilation and humidity.
Therefore, we must correct the erroneous view of "snow removal and greenhouses for wheat fields" to prevent it from causing further misleading information about agricultural production. We need to advocate scientific agricultural knowledge and methods, so that farmers can understand the growth characteristics of wheat and master the correct frost protection measures.
Real antifreeze measures should be based on scientific principles and practical experience. For example, the cold resistance of wheat can be improved by selecting cold-tolerant varieties, rational fertilization, timely irrigation, and controlling pests and diseases. At the same time, you can also make preparations in advance by observing the weather forecast, such as covering soil and spraying antifreeze before the arrival of extremely low temperatures.
In general, agriculture is an industry that requires scientific and technological support, and any decisions and operations should be based on rigorous scientific research and practical verification. We must be vigilant against the misleading of those "pseudo-experts" and advocate scientific agricultural production methods to protect the interests of farmers and China's food security. Only in this way can our agriculture develop sustainably and healthily and make greater contributions to the country and society.
