How to arrange agricultural activities during Grain in Ear?
The 24 solar terms are the crystallization of the wisdom of the working people of our country. Therefore, the solar terms are inseparable from our agricultural life. So how should we arrange the agricultural activities of Grain in Ear? Let’s find out together. By April, everything is lush and green. The Fortune Teller website takes you to experience every day of the fourth lunar month of 2018.How to arrange agricultural activities during Grain in Ear?Grain in Ear indicates the busiest season for the ripening and cultivation of summer crops such as wheat. At this time, agricultural production in most parts of my country is in the busy season of "three summers", namely "summer harvest, summer planting and summer management".The busy summer harvest is because the wheat is ripe. If there is continuous rain or even hail disasters, the wheat cannot be harvested and threshed in time, resulting in lodging, grain falling, sprouts on the ears, and rot in the wheat field. We must seize every favorable opportunity to rush to harvest, transport and thresh the crops. The busy summer planting season is because the growing period of summer crops such as summer soybeans and summer corn is limited. In order to ensure harvest before the autumn frost, they must be sown and planted early to obtain higher yields. The reason for the busy summer management is that after the "Grain in Ear" solar term, there is more rain and the temperature gradually rises. Spring-planted crops such as cotton and spring corn have entered the peak of water and fertilizer demand and growth. Not only do they need topdressing and water, but they also need weeding and disease and pest control. Otherwise, disasters such as pests, diseases, weeds, drought, waterlogging, and hail will occur simultaneously or alternately, causing spring crops to have reduced yields at best, or even a total crop failure at worst. The middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in my country also enter the plum rain season at this time. The common characteristics of plum rain days are many rainy days, heavy rainfall, high temperature, little sunshine, and sometimes low temperatures. About 1/3 (1/2 in some years) of the annual rainfall in eastern my country occurs during the plum rain season. The plum rains in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River usually occur after June. This is the season when crops such as rice and cotton grow vigorously and require more water. The reason for the formation of plum rain is that after winter, the intensity of cold air weakens and retreats northward, and the warm air in the south moves northward accordingly, extending to the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. However, at this time, the cold air in the north is still relatively strong, so the cold and warm air confront each other in the Jianghuai River Basin, forming a quasi-stationary front, and continuous rainy weather appears. |
