Zhoukou: moderate to heavy rain is favorable for jointing and booting of wheat.

under the influence of low vortex and cold air, a moderate to heavy rain fell on the land of Sanchuan on the 2nd, and the silk "manna" relieved the drought in the field, which was extremely beneficial to the growth of wheat at jointing and booting stage.

according to the weather forecast, from 2: on the 2nd to 8: on the 3rd, the maximum precipitation in Zhoukou occurred in Xingzhuang, Shenqiu, with a precipitation of 46.8mm. There were 3 regional stations above 25mm, 78 with 1-25mm, and the rest were below 1mm.

Tan Yanjing, deputy director and engineer of Zhoukou Meteorological Observatory, said: "At present, Zhoukou wheat is in the jointing and booting stage, and there is drought in some areas due to less precipitation in the early stage. This precipitation will relieve the drought, which is very beneficial to wheat booting and heading.

Zhang Jun, a big grain grower, planted 1, mu of land in dancheng National Agricultural High-tech Zone. After breakfast, he rushed to the field to check the soil moisture and seedling situation. Looking at the "full" wheat in the field, Zhang Jun was very happy.

He said, "Spring rain is as expensive as oil. It rained very timely, which eased the drought and laid a good foundation for our harvest this year.

Agricultural experts pointed out that although this precipitation has relieved the drought, it will lead to excessive humidity in the field, and diseases such as wheat root rot and stem rot are easy to develop and spread. After the precipitation stops, farmers should take advantage of fine weather to prevent and control diseases and pests such as wheat root rot, stem rot, scab and aphid.

Zhou Youyin, deputy director and researcher of dancheng Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said: "Wheat has entered the booting stage, and the absorption of water and nutrients has entered a critical period, so this rain is of great help to wheat growth. If it rains for days, farmers should pay attention to the problems of wheat diseases and insect pests in the field, strengthen management in time, and carry out a spray of three defenses.

Meteorologists reminded that after the precipitation, there will be 4-5 easterly winds and 6-7 gusts in Zhoukou, so farmers should do a good job in wind prevention and reinforcement of facility agriculture.
