The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs announced today (February 8) that recently, there has been a wide range of rain, snow and freezing weather in China. According to the comprehensive research and judgment of the science and technology team dispatched by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs for field investigation and evaluation, agricultural dispatch and feedback from various localities, this round of rain, snow and freezing weather has caused winter rape and winter wheat to be frozen in some areas, but it has not changed the fundamentals of good grain and oil production in summer.
This round of rain, snow and freezing weather had a slight impact on the safe overwintering and regreening growth of winter wheat, which was generally favorable. Shandong, Henan, northern Jiangsu, northern Anhui and other major winter wheat producing areas have fallen heavy snow, which has played a role in "covering the quilt" to keep warm and increase moisture, coupled with several precipitations in the early stage, soil moisture is the best in the same period in the past ten years, especially after many cold air processes since the beginning of winter, wheat cold resistance exercise is also very sufficient, most of the winter wheat has not been frost damaged, only about 200,000 acres of wheat in Hubei have been frozen due to freezing rain. According to the field investigation and expert consultation and analysis of the science and technology team, most of the winter wheat areas in the north have achieved sufficient moisture for wintering, wintering with greenery, and covering snow for wintering. At the same time, cooling and snowfall are conducive to reducing the number of pests and diseases, and reducing the pressure of spring prevention and control.
The superposition of snowfall and freezing rain in the south caused some winter rape to be frozen. The growth of oilseed rape is lower than before wintering, but overall it is still better than the same period last year. According to the agricultural dispatch of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the first and second types of winter rapeseed seedlings in the country account for 807%, 1 lower than the early winter period5 percentage points, but still 16 percentage points. Rapeseed experts said that rape plants have strong branch growth ability, and the temperature in the south will rise rapidly after the snow stops. (CCTV reporter Wang Kaibo Liu Cheng).
