Ministry Of Agriculture: Spring Sowing Is Progressing Smoothly &Nbsp; Cotton Seedling Condition Is Normal.

At present, spring sowing is coming to an end, and the production of "three summer" is about to start in full swing.

Generally speaking, the progress of spring sowing is generally smooth and the situation is better than expected.

First, the grain area is increasing.

This year, the central government continued to increase its policy support, pre allocate the "four subsidy" funds and announce the minimum purchase price policy of rice as early as possible, especially in the crucial period of the spring ploughing production. The State Council held a executive meeting in April 19th and issued a series of policies and measures to further support agricultural production, which played a strong guiding role.

All localities have also introduced supporting policies and measures to increase support for spring plowing and spring sowing.

At the same time, grain market prices remained stable and steady. The supply of fertilizer and other agricultural materials markets was adequate and prices were stable. The enthusiasm of farmers to grow grain was effectively protected and mobilized, and the area of spring sown grain increased.

As of May 25th, 761 million mu of grain crops had been distributed in the whole country, and 84.1% of the total plan was completed. It is estimated that the area of spring sown grain will reach 900 million mu this year, an increase of about 8000000 Mu over the previous year.

The two is to speed up seeding.

Due to the severe drought in Southwest China and the continuous low-temperature rain and snow weather in the northern part of China, spring sowing has started late and slowed down in most areas this year. The spring sowing time in Northeast China has generally been postponed for more than 10 days.

In this regard, the agricultural departments at all levels should strengthen the classification guidance, implement key technologies, seize the fine weather since May, guide farmers to choose suitable or early maturing varieties in a timely manner, vigorously promote rice seedling raising, seed coating and corn ridging cultivation, actively organize agricultural machinery professional cooperatives and large agricultural machinery households, and carry out inter regional mechanized farming, and do everything possible to speed up farming and sowing.

At present, the spring sowing in Northeast China is coming to an end. The planting of Maize in Guangxi, Guizhou and Yunnan provinces is basically over. Rice planting is being carried out, and grain crops have been sown over 70%.

Generally speaking, although the beginning time of spring sowing has been delayed, the end time of sowing has not been postponed.

At present, the national grain crops sowing progress is only 2 percentage points slower than the same period last year.

The three is the high quality of sowing.

During the spring sowing period, soil moisture and soil moisture were adequate in most parts of the country. Strengthening guidance services, promoting agricultural machinery and agronomy, strengthening meticulous soil preparation and rational close planting, vigorously popularizing the advanced and practical techniques such as soil testing, formula fertilization, seed coating, seed dressing, precision and semi precision seeding, and so on. Most of the areas were sowed in suitable seeding time, and the seeds were sowed with high quality.

At the same time, field management should be strengthened so as to manage early sowing, early planting and early sowing.

At present, spring sown corn, soybean, cotton and other crops are orderly, and the seedling condition is generally normal.

In Jilin Province, the proportion of corn seedlings was 86%, the proportion of two seedlings was 10%, the proportion of three seedlings was only 3%, and the growth rate was similar to that of the same period last year.

The proportion of one or two seedlings of early rice in Hunan reached 90%, and the proportion of one or two seedlings of early rice in Jiangxi reached 87.1%, all the same as that of the whole year.

Four, the working measures are solid.

In view of the grim situation faced by this spring ploughing production this year, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council attached great importance to it. The State Council held four special meetings in a row, made specific arrangements for the spring sowing work, made clear demands, and promptly issued a series of policies and measures to further support agricultural production.

The leaders of the State Council went deep into southwest arid areas and Northeast China to guide drought resistance and spring ploughing.

The Ministry of agriculture has held several meetings to mobilize and fight against drought and low temperature, promote spring management and ensure spring sowing, and have sent 13 work teams headed by the Ministry to two provinces and provinces that are mainly responsible for summer grain production and heavy spring ploughing. They have carried out work supervision and technical guidance, robbed farmers and seized progress, so as to ensure that spring sowing crops are suitable for planting and planting in the season.

All localities conscientiously carry out the Central Committee's deployment and requirements, pay close attention to weather changes, increase disaster prevention and mitigation efforts, and vigorously implement measures such as sowing seeds, raising seedlings in different places, raising seedlings in dry areas, raising seedlings in greenhouses, changing varieties, draught water and accelerating seedling cultivation, organizing scientific and technological personnel to go deep into the grass-roots level, guiding farmers to actively sow seeds and sowing seeds quickly, and strive to bring back the time of adverse weather delays, and resolutely win the tough battle of spring ploughing, so as to win the initiative in the steady development of grain and agricultural production throughout the whole year.
