The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural: The drought in part of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River relieved, and the production of autumn grains in most areas across the country progressed smoothly

Right now, my country's autumn grain production has entered a critical period. According to the latest agricultural disputes in the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the drought in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River is being relieved, and the production of autumn grains in most parts of the country is progressing smoothly.

"Now that when rice is most needed, we are anxious to see the fissure of the fields. Now the temporary pumping station can pump the water in the Baita River to the farmland, and finally rest assured." Say.

This summer, the high temperature in the Yangtze River area, coupled with the drought -thermal stacking climate disaster with less rainfall, brought a lot of challenges to the production of autumn grain. At the current critical period of the production of autumn grain production, relevant departments and regions have strengthened deployment, implemented relevant measures, and strived to win the battle for the harvest of autumn grains.

"Through debugging equipment, establishing temporary pumping stations, and inspection and maintenance, we have traveled to multiple townships to solve the problem of pouring and irrigation. In the past 100 days, 78 new temporary pumping stations and newly set up pipelines have allowed the river to irrigate 100 100 There are more than 10,000 acres of rice fields to solve the urgent burning of farmers. "The captain of the Flood Control Service Team of Tianchang City, Wang Zibin, introduced.

Recently, the Ministry of Finance, together with the Ministry of Water Resources and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, urgently arranged 10 billion yuan in agricultural production and water conservancy disaster relief funds through the central reserve fee, and supported related work in various places to do a good job in drought relief, autumn grain prevention and stability, and ensure the safety of the masses.

Among them, the water conservancy and drought resistance funds are arranged for 6.5 billion yuan, and the water conservancy regulation is supported by the affected areas, the sources of drought resistance required for the construction of disaster relief, and focusing on ensuring the drinking water and agricultural irrigation water. Arrange agricultural drought -resistant and autumn grain production funds of 3.5 billion yuan, which is mainly used to support the recovery of agricultural production such as fuel, pesticides, and seeds of the affected farmers; Mixed pharmaceuticals such as drought resistance of crops can be given to subsidies to prevent the development of drought and spread, and to ensure that autumn grains are stable and harvested.

"The Yangtze River Basin is an important food area in my country, especially in autumn grain, and the drought threatening national food security must take resolute and powerful measures to minimize the influence of drought." Researcher at the Institute of Agricultural Resources and Agricultural District Planning of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences Jiang Wenlai believes that from the current situation, due to the strong drought resistance measures in the southern region, the overall impact on the production of autumn grains as a whole.

There is still less than a month from the harvest of Qiu Gan. Wang Jijun, the chief agronomist of the National Agricultural Technology Promotion Service Center, said that the southern region should actively respond to the effects of drought and prevent drought and floods. Recently, through the organization of online training courses, the agricultural technology promotion departments at all levels are mobilized to go deep into the first -line classification guidance to ensure that various technical measures are in place, and they will do everything possible to seize the harvest of autumn grain.
