CCTV News: The "Rain Water" solar term is approaching, and the national spring field management and spring plowing preparations are gradually launched from south to north. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs recently carried out research and guidance on spring management and spring farming, dispatched 5 working groups to 10 major grain and oil production provinces to guide local areas to strengthen spring field management due to local and seedlings, prevent spring drought and "late spring cold" and other disasters, and ensure that all the plants should be sown. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs also launched the "Fight for 120 days, grasping spring management, yields in the bill of lading, and winning summer harvest" grain and oil harvest.

Henan Shangshui: Seize the Farming Time Intelligent Facilities Help Wheat Spring Pipe

After the Lantern Festival, 85 million mu of winter wheat in Henan entered the greening period from south to north, which is also a critical period for the peak demand for water and fertilizer and the formation of yield. All regions are stepping up spring wheat management based on the growth of wheat, and the fields are busy. How is the wheat growing now? What are the issues that need attention to in spring management?

The reporter came to the wheat fields in Shangshui County, Zhoukou, Henan Province. This is a high-standard farmland that is connected to more than 10,000 mu. Behind the reporter, many agricultural machinery and equipment were shuttled through the fields, and spring wheat field management was accelerated. The plan for the year lies in spring. In the past two days, the highest temperature in Henan has exceeded 10 degrees Celsius. With the temperature rebound, the growth process of wheat has accelerated. It is necessary to enter the greening and rising period from the overwintering period one after another. In other words, the wheat is about to start growing, so there is a strong demand for water and fertilizer. The wheat field management of this land is divided into three steps: fertilization, watering and insect pest control.

Mechanical fertilizer can apply fertilizer to wheat roots along the wheat ridges to promote wheat absorption of nutrients. Then the grain-growing farmers start a fixed sprinkler for watering. This pole is connected to the integrated water and fertilizer equipment. Farmers can control the switch on their mobile phones to control the amount of water, and water as they open, saving time and effort. At the same time, this type of sprinkler irrigation can save 30% of the water compared to the flooding type. Finally, the sprayer is activated to prevent and control pests in spring, providing all-round guarantees for wheat greening growth.

A winter has passed, how is the growth of wheat in Henan this year? Just now, the agricultural technician told reporters that there is a local rumor when looking at the strong wheat seedlings. "The ground is deep and the ground is short and tummy. There are three to five tillers in a single plant, and ten wheat roots and six leaves." Based on this simple and practical agricultural summary, let's judge whether the wheat is strong. Let's first count the number of tillers in the wheat. These are 5 tillers, and the wheat roots are relatively developed. This is a strong seedling. According to data released by the Henan Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the wheat sowing area in Henan Province this year continues to remain above 85 million mu, and the proportion of first and second-class wheat seedlings during the wintering period is 87%, and the seedling conditions are better than the same period in the previous year.

Although the situation in Miao is good, it cannot be taken lightly. Agricultural technicians reminded that during last winter, the precipitation distribution in Henan was uneven, and the moisture in some wheat fields was poor, and there was a risk of drought. Irrigation should be carried out in time in spring, and some wheat had a tendency to grow. In view of the current situation of wheat growth, in addition to watering and fertilizing, spring field management should focus on controlling prosperity, preventing frost damage, preventing and controlling pests and weeds. Recently, Henan issued the "Technical Guidance Opinions on the Management of Wheat Fields in Spring 2025", and at the same time sent 18 wheat technical guidance groups to go deep into the fields to "consult and pulse" and "weak seedlings to replenish fertilizer, and strong seedlings to control long-term growth" to implement a classified management model, implement policies for wheat in different regions, provide farmers with comprehensive technical guidance services, and lay a solid foundation for stable summer grain production.
