The sting is the third of the 24 solar terms, marking the arrival of spring. There are many origins and legends of the sting, and one of the more representative legends is that the sting is a roar of the god of thunder that woke up the sting.
Animals and insects that hibernate in the soil hence the name sting.
Stings have many benefits for crops. First of all, the sting marks the beginning of a rise in temperature and the beginning of melting of moisture in the soil, which provides good conditions for the growth of crops. After the sting, farmers can start spring ploughing, sowing and transplanting to lay the foundation for the growth of crops.
In the sting season, with the gradual increase in temperature and the increase in rain, the growth of crops has entered a critical period. Here are some of the specific benefits and things to look out for for in crops:
1.Promote plant growth: With the appearance of spring thunder, the temperature rises and the growth rate of plants increases. The seeds of crops begin to germinate, and plants begin to enter the growing season, which requires adequate water and nutrients.
2.Improving the efficiency of pest control: After stinging, many hibernating pests begin to emerge, which provides farmers with a favorable opportunity to control pests and diseases. During this period, farmers will take appropriate measures according to the local climatic conditions and crop conditions, such as the application of pesticides, biological control, etc., to control the occurrence of pests and diseases.
3.Timely agricultural operations: During the sting season, farmers will carry out agricultural operations such as sowing, transplanting, and fertilizing according to the local agricultural schedule. For example, in rice areas, this is usually a time of preparation for sowing and transplanting; In the north, it may be a time for spring ploughing and sowing of crops such as wheat and corn.
4.Abundant rain is good for crops: Spring is the rainy season, especially after the sting, and the increase in rain is very beneficial for crops that need a lot of water.
However, there are some potential risks associated with stinging seasons, such as large fluctuations in temperature that may lead to frost damage to crops, or continuous rain that may lead to crop diseases. Therefore, farmers need to pay close attention to weather changes and take corresponding agricultural measures to ensure the safety and growth of crops, and reasonably arrange agricultural production activities to ensure a bumper harvest.
