This article is in Quzhou Party Building Network: A new round of low temperature, rain, snow and freezing weather is coming, and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs attaches great importance to it and deploys a series of preventive measures to ensure agricultural production and farmers' lives. This article will explain these measures in detail to help you understand how to prepare for low temperatures, rain, snow and freezing weather.
We need to understand the impact of low temperatures, rain, snow and freezing weather on agricultural production. In the low-temperature, rain, snow and freezing weather, agricultural production is greatly affected, mainly in the following aspects: first, the growth of crops is hindered, especially fruit trees, vegetables and other cash crops, low temperature will cause their growth to be slow, or even stop growing; Second, the water source of farmland is reduced, and the ice and snow cover reduces the evaporation of farmland water and reduces soil moisture, which affects the normal growth of crops; Third, agricultural facilities are damaged, such as greenhouses, livestock and poultry houses, etc., and low temperatures may cause damage to the structure of the facilities and affect agricultural production; Fourth, rural road traffic is blocked, and ice and snow roads may lead to traffic accidents, affecting the transportation and sales of agricultural products.
In response to the above impacts, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has put forward the following preventive measures:
1.Strengthen meteorological monitoring and early warning. Meteorological departments at all levels should strengthen monitoring and forecasting of low-temperature, rain, snow, and freezing weather, release early warning information in a timely manner, and improve the accuracy and timeliness of early warnings. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen communication and contact with the agricultural departments to ensure that early warning information can be conveyed to farmers in a timely manner.
2.Do a good job of keeping crops warm and cold. All localities should formulate scientific and rational measures to prevent cold and keep warm in light of actual conditions. For fruit trees, vegetables and other cash crops, measures such as mulching and reinforcement should be taken in time to prevent low-temperature frost damage. For overwintering crops such as wheat and rapeseed, it is necessary to do a good job in field management to ensure that they can safely overwinter.
3.Guarantee water sources for farmland**. All localities should strengthen the construction of water conservancy infrastructure for farmland and improve the irrigation capacity of farmland. During the period of low temperature, rain, snow and freezing weather, it is necessary to carry out measures such as artificial rain and snow in a timely manner to increase the water source of farmland. At the same time, it is necessary to rationally allocate farmland water resources to ensure the water required for crop growth.
4.Strengthen the maintenance of agricultural facilities. All localities should strengthen the daily maintenance and management of agricultural facilities such as greenhouses and livestock and poultry houses, check whether the structure of the facilities is in good condition, and repair problems in a timely manner. During the period of low temperature, rain, snow and freezing weather, it is necessary to strengthen the insulation measures of the facilities to prevent damage to the facilities.
5.Ensure the smooth flow of rural roads. All localities should step up snow and ice removal work on rural roads to ensure that roads are unimpeded. For important rural roads, special snow and ice removal teams should be set up to carry out regular inspections and cleaning. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen publicity on road traffic safety in rural areas and remind farmers to pay attention to traffic safety.
6.Strengthening agricultural markets**. All localities should strengthen the supervision and control of the agricultural product market to ensure the stability of the market. During the period of low temperature, rain, snow and freezing weather, it is necessary to pay close attention to the situation of the agricultural product market and take timely measures to protect the market. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the supervision and control of the quality and safety of agricultural products to ensure the quality and safety of agricultural products.
7.Do a good job in ensuring the livelihood of farmers. All localities should pay more attention to the livelihood of peasants, especially for the people in difficulty, and provide timely assistance to them to ensure that they can survive the difficult period brought about by low temperatures, rain, snow, and freezing weather.
