The valley rain season is the sixth of the 24 solar terms in China, and it is held from April 19 to 21 in the Gregorian calendar every year, representing the last stage of spring. At this time, the growth of crops in various parts of our country has entered a critical period, and farmers everywhere have begun to get busy preparing for the summer harvest.
In the vast farmland of China, the planting and growth of the main crops in the rainy season vary according to the region, climate and other factors. But in general, the main crops of this period include wheat, rice, corn, cotton, peanuts, soybeans, etc.
Wheat is one of the main food crops in northern China, and the rainy season is the critical period for wheat growth. At this time, the wheat has entered the jointing stage and needs sufficient sunlight and water to ensure normal growth. Farmers need to strengthen field management, timely irrigation, fertilization and weeding to ensure healthy wheat growth and lay the foundation for a bumper summer harvest.
Rice is the main food crop in southern China, and the rainy season is also an important period for rice growth. At this time, the paddy fields need to maintain a suitable water depth to promote the growth and development of the paddy. Farmers need to strengthen the management of paddy fields, timely drainage, fertilization, and pest control to ensure healthy rice growth and prepare for a bumper summer harvest.
Corn is one of the widely planted food crops in China, and the rainy season is also an important period for corn growth. At this time, corn has entered the early stage of growth and needs sufficient sunlight and water to promote growth and development. Farmers need timely irrigation, fertilization, weeding, soil loosening, etc., to provide a good growth environment for the growth of corn.
Cotton is one of the important cash crops in China, and the rainy season is also a critical period for cotton growth. At this time, cotton has entered the growth period and needs sufficient sunlight and moisture to ensure normal growth. Farmers need to strengthen the management of cotton fields, timely irrigation, fertilization, weeding, pest control, etc., to provide good growing conditions for the growth of cotton.
Peanut and soybean are one of the important oil crops in China, and the rainy season is also a critical period for their growth. At this time, peanuts and soybeans have entered the growth period and need sufficient sunlight and water to promote growth and development. Farmers need to strengthen field management, timely irrigation, fertilization, weeding, pest control, etc., to provide a good growth environment for the growth of peanuts and soybeans.
In addition to the above main crops, there are other crops that are also growing and developing during the rainy season, such as rapeseed, sesame, sunflower, etc. Farmers need to adopt different management measures according to the characteristics and growth needs of different crops to ensure the healthy growth and harvest of crops.
During the rainy season, farmers also need to pay attention to the occurrence of natural disasters, such as floods, droughts, freezes, etc. These natural disasters can adversely affect the growth of crops and even lead to crop death. Therefore, farmers need to pay close attention to weather changes and take timely countermeasures to ensure the safe growth of crops.
In short, the rainy season is a critical period for the growth of crops in China, and farmers need to strengthen field management, pay attention to preventing the occurrence of natural disasters, and lay a solid foundation for a bumper harvest in summer. At the same time, all sectors of society should also strengthen support and attention to agriculture, provide farmers with a better production environment and policy support, and promote the sustainable development and prosperity of China's agriculture.
