Please come to the Fortune Teller website to learn more details about the second month of the lunar calendar in 2018!How to arrange farm work during the Spring Equinox?After the Spring Equinox, the climate becomes mild, with abundant rainfall and bright sunshine in most parts of southern China, and overwintering crops enter the spring growth stage. There is an agricultural proverb in Huazhong that goes "On the Spring Equinox, the wheat starts to grow, and every moment is worth a thousand pieces of gold." At this time, temperatures in various parts of the south continue to rise, but often not as fast as during the period from Rain Water to the Spring Equinox. The average temperature in late March is mostly 13-15℃ in northern South China, and 15-16℃ in southern South China. The ice and snow have melted in most parts of the plateau, and the average temperature is 5-10℃. This is a good season for sowing crops such as rice and corn. "In February, it is the Waking of Insects and the Spring Equinox, time to plant trees, apply fertilizers and plough the land." It is also particularly suitable for afforestation. There is a line in an ancient poem that goes, "Feeding the cows at midnight and calling the wife to get up, tomorrow morning it is the Spring Equinox to plant trees." While taking care of the busy farming season, we should also use our hands to green the mountains and rivers of our motherland and beautify the living environment.Around the Spring Equinox, a strong cold front often invades South China, causing a significant drop in temperature, with the lowest temperature dropping below 5°C. Sometimes, small amounts of cold air continue to invade, causing low temperatures and rain for several consecutive days, resulting in a late spring, which is what people often say "warm in the first part of spring, cold in the second part of spring". Severe late spring cold snaps will not only affect the flowering and pollination of rapeseed and the abnormal development of siliques, thus reducing yields, but will also cause seedling death and rot of early rice, sown cotton, peanuts and other crops, and may even affect the ear formation of wheat, causing large-scale infertility or reducing seed quality. Based on this characteristic, farmers should make full use of weather forecasts and sow in time when the weather turns cold at the end and warm at the beginning. At this time, precipitation is still not much in vast areas of Northeast, North China and Northwest China where "spring rain is as precious as oil", and resisting the threat of spring drought is the key to agricultural production. As the saying goes, "On the Spring Equinox, the wheat starts to grow, so fertilizer and water should follow closely." Every spring rain brings warmth, and after the rain, people are busy farming the fields. After the vernal equinox, the busy spring season begins, and spring management, spring ploughing and spring planting are about to enter a busy stage. After the vernal equinox, overwintering crops enter the growth stage and field management must be strengthened. As the temperature rises quickly, the water demand is relatively large, so farmers need to strengthen water storage and conservation. How should agricultural activities be carried out during the Spring Equinox?After the vernal equinox, winter crops in most parts of my country enter the spring growth stage. In Northeast, North China and Northwest regions, resisting spring drought is still an important agricultural activity during the Vernal Equinox. North China may also experience "late spring cold," that is, snow on the Spring Equinox, which is extremely harmful to wheat. As the folk saying goes, "Winter snow is treasure, spring snow is grass." Therefore, it is very important to strengthen frost damage prevention during the vernal equinox. Commonly used methods include selecting cold-resistant varieties, sowing wheat at a reasonable depth, applying more potassium fertilizer, irrigation or spraying, etc.After the vernal equinox south of the Yangtze River, rainfall increases rapidly and the peach blossom season soon begins. At this time, we must pay attention to clearing ditches, draining water, and preventing waterlogging. at the same time. We must guard against the harm of "late spring cold" weather and seize the "cold end and warm beginning" weather to do a good job in raising early rice seedlings. In addition, livestock breeding management should be strengthened in spring. Prevent and cure diseases, and do a good job in breeding cattle and buffaloes. The period around the Spring Equinox is a good time to plant trees. There is an agricultural proverb that goes, "In February, the Waking of Insects is also the Spring Equinox. Plant trees, fertilize and plough the land." There are even verses in ancient poetry that describe planting trees during the Spring Equinox, such as "Feeding cattle and calling the wife at midnight, planting trees tomorrow is the Spring Equinox." This shows the urgency and importance of planting trees during the Spring Equinox. During the Spring Equinox, we should speed up the construction of oil tea forests, bamboo forests, etc., carry out tree seedling cultivation, and prevent and control pine caterpillars. In addition, the north is relatively dry early in spring, so we need to strengthen forest protection inspections to prevent forest fires. |
