Vegetable Farming
1. Transplant in time and strengthen management. In the second half of the month, cabbage and tomatoes should be planted in small and medium-sized greenhouses. The greenhouse should be covered and the temperature should be raised 5-7 days in advance. Planting should be done in the morning on a sunny day, and the straw thatch should be added to keep warm to promote seedling growth.
2. For greenhouses with insufficient base fertilizer, you can apply organic fertilizer in the large trenches of crops after the Great Cold, turn it into the soil and water it in time to increase later yields.
3. Continue to do a good job in disease prevention and control. Strengthen the prevention and control of gray mold, leaf mold, blight, downy mildew, powdery mildew, etc. Fruit tree farming
1. Continue to prune deciduous fruit trees; continue to plant seedlings in newly developed orchards when the weather is fine.
2. Anti-freeze: January is the coldest month of the year. When the extreme low temperature is below -5℃, many fruit trees will be damaged by frost. The key task this month is to do a good job in preventing cold, frost and snow damage and ensuring that fruit trees can safely survive the winter.
3. Pruning: The purpose of pruning trees that have been producing well for years and those that are weak is to restore the tree's vigor. When the spring shoots sprout, cut off weak branches, diseased and insect-infested branches, and dead branches, and shorten branches that have already produced fruit.
4. Spray pesticides to eliminate overwintering pests and diseases, apply heavy fertilizers, interplant green manure in the orchard, dig holes and apply fertilizer deeply, and at the same time loosen and cultivate the soil in the tree pit.
Animal Husbandry and Farming
1. Midwinter is a season when livestock and poultry diseases are more prevalent. While doing a good job of keeping warm and preventing frost, we should also actively carry out disease prevention and control work for livestock and poultry. To control infectious gastroenteritis in pigs, poultry should prevent avian influenza; add night grass to cattle, sheep, rabbits and other poultry and herd animals at night.
2. Continue to keep the pens warm.
3. The temperature of livestock drinking water should not be too low. If conditions permit, it is best to feed them warm water.
4. Herbivorous animals should continue to be fed artificially, and vitamin E and trace elements should be added if necessary.
Conclusion: Due to the influence of regional, climatic and other conditions, some crops require appropriately low temperatures during a certain growth period to freeze pests and diseases to death, so that the crops will be good in the next year and people and animals will be safe. The Great Cold is a time to store strength and wait for growth, and farmers also need to prepare for the coming year.
