The El Niño event has been formed, and this year's winter is undoubtedThere are three types of weather to be aware of
Be wary of El Niño-induced"Warm winters"
This winter, there has been a moderate intensity El Niño across the globe and is expected to continue until the spring of 2024. This meteorological phenomenon is not only affected by global warming, but will also have an impact on our agriculture. The El Niño phenomenon had a huge impact on early cherry production in Chile, resulting in a halving of production. This is because El Niño triggers massive heavy rainfall, which is the peak season for early cherry blossoms. Therefore, it is important for our growers to be prepared in advance for possible climate risks.
1) Beware of plummeting temperatures and snowfall.
While this year may be a warm winter, that doesn't mean there won't be extreme weather phenomena such as cold snaps. Under the influence of El Niño, some regions experience sudden severe cold snaps, resulting in extreme weather conditions such as plummeting temperatures, snowfall, and freezing. These weather conditions not only affect life, but also adversely affect crops. Therefore, farmers should pay close attention to the weather forecast and take timely measures to protect crops from the cold snap.
2. Prepare cold drinks in advance.
The occurrence of El Niño increases the likelihood of a cold spring next year. The inverted spring cold refers to the unusually cold weather that occurs after the temperature rises in spring, which can cause serious harm to crops that have just begun to grow and bloom. In order to avoid such natural disasters, farmers should choose cold-tolerant crop varieties in advance, carry out field management in time, and take cold-proof measures to ensure the growth and development of crops.
3.Dealing with heavy rain and freezing weather in the south.
Heavy rainfall is expected in the southern region this winter, which can lead to wet and slippery farmland and susceptible crops to disease. At the same time, low-temperature frost damage can also cause damage to crops. In order to prevent this from adversely affecting agriculture, farmers should pay close attention to climate change and take timely measures such as drainage, flood prevention, and frost prevention to ensure crop growth and yield.
The importance of farmers' responses to El Niño.
The El Niño phenomenon has a significant impact on agriculture all over the world, and China, as a large agricultural country, should pay more attention to the El Niño phenomenon. There are three areas that farmers should focus on when dealing with El Niño.
1.Early warning and forecasting.
Farmers should pay close attention to weather forecasts and weather warnings to keep abreast of climate change dynamics. By staying up-to-date on the weather forecast, farmers can take precautions in advance to reduce losses caused by extreme weather conditions.
2) Strengthen the resilience of crops.
When planting and managing crops, farmers should pay attention to selecting cold-resistant and pest-resistant varieties, rationally fertilizing, irrigating and weeding, and improving the stress resistance and disease resistance of crops. Only crops that are sufficiently resilient to stress can better withstand the adverse effects of El Niño.
3.Strengthen the development and maintenance of agricultural infrastructure.
Farmers should also strengthen the construction and maintenance of agricultural infrastructure, such as flood control, flood prevention, and frost prevention, so as to improve the disaster resistance of farmland. At the same time, farmers should also strengthen the construction and maintenance of farmland water conservancy facilities to ensure good water supply and drainage to ensure the growth and yield of crops.
Personal reflections and conclusions.
The formation of El Niño is undoubtedly a challenge for farmers, especially in the context of global warming. Farmers must pay attention to weather forecasts and be prepared to ensure the sustainable development of agriculture. At the same time, it is also necessary to increase investment, strengthen the construction of meteorological monitoring and early warning system, provide farmers with timely and accurate meteorological information, and help farmers carry out agricultural production.
Farmers must focus on prevention and be prepared for the El Niño phenomenon. Disasters and losses can only be minimized if effective measures are taken on the basis of a full understanding of climate change. Farmers should also strengthen cooperation with meteorological and agricultural research institutions to study and explore agricultural production models adapted to the El Niño phenomenon to improve the resilience and adaptability of agriculture.
In short, the formation of the El Niño phenomenon has brought certain challenges to world agriculture and is also a severe test for farmers. Farmers need to pay close attention to the weather forecast, do a good job of prevention and preparation, improve the resilience of crops, and strengthen the construction and maintenance of agricultural infrastructure. In the face of the challenge of El Niño, the sustainable development of agriculture can only be achieved through scientific and rational agricultural management.
