What are the characteristics of crops in the south and northeast of China?

The grain crops in the south of China are mainly rice (monsoon paddy field agriculture), and barley and wheat (dry field agriculture) in the north. The cash crops in the south are mainly tropical or subtropical crops such as sugarcane and rape, while the cash crops in the north are mainly temperate crops such as beet, peanut and soybean.

The main crops planted in southern China are rice, winter wheat, rape, camellia oleifera, cotton, kenaf, sugarcane and tea tree.

The main food crops in Northeast China are wheat, corn, sorghum and millet.

As can be seen from the types of agricultural products, the northeast mainly produces temperate fruits. The plain area in the northern region is vast. Because the cultivated land is mainly distributed in the plain and hilly areas, the cultivated land in the northern region is vast and concentrated. However, in terms of precipitation, the precipitation in the northern region is less and concentrated in summer, so it is mainly in dry farming areas.

The difference between north and south rice;

The rice planting seasons in the south and the north are different. The average temperature in the south is high, and two or even three seasons can be planted in a year. The temperature in the north is relatively low and it is cooked once a year; The middle part is the rice-wheat rotation multiple cropping area. At present, early rice in Jiangxi, Hunan and other places has entered the tillering stage, and japonica rice areas such as the north and Jiangsu have also begun to raise seedlings.

Compared with the north, the mechanization of rice production in the south is relatively backward, which is closely related to the geographical environment and population density. The south is hilly and mountainous, and the adjacent fields are steep. Because of the high population density and scattered, narrow and irregular fields, the development of agricultural mechanization is restricted.
