The bumper harvest of summer grain has added confidence and confidence for food security and securing rice bowls. The reporter learned from the Ministry of agriculture and rural areas that as of June 15, the harvest of summer grain in China had reached 90%. According to the agricultural situation dispatch of the Ministry of agriculture and rural areas and the experts' field investigation and analysis, this year's summer grain area is stable, the yield per unit area is increased, and the harvest has become a foregone conclusion.

According to statistics, this year's summer grain area is 400 million mu, basically stable. The main body of summer grain is wheat. According to the field investigation by experts, among the "three factors" of wheat yield composition, the number of spikes per mu increased more, the number of grains per spike was basically the same, the 1000 grain weight was close to the best level last year, and there was a good foundation for a good harvest.

Han Changfu, Minister of agriculture and rural affairs, said that this year's wheat harvest was good, with three improvements:

First, the yield per unit area is increased. It is estimated that the average yield per mu can be increased by 4 kg.

Second, the quality was improved, the grain was plump, and the number of first and second grade wheat increased obviously.

Third, the proportion of special purpose wheat increased. The proportion of strong gluten and weak gluten wheat increased by 2.8 percentage points over the previous year.

Late spring coldness not easily won the new novel coronavirus pneumonia. This is due to the high attention paid by the Party Central Committee and the State Council, the joint efforts of all regions and departments, and the hard work of the vast number of farmers and scientific and technological personnel.

According to reports, in summer grain production, agricultural and rural departments at all levels are closely linked to provide accurate guidance and services. For example, in view of the situation of wheat stripe rust and scab recurrence this year, we should formulate prevention and control plan as soon as possible, strengthen monitoring and early warning, carry out unified control and emergency control in time, and basically prevent and control the wheat stripe rust and scab. The total funds allocated by governments at all levels for the prevention and control of wheat diseases and insect pests exceeded 1.6 billion yuan, with a cumulative control of 197 million mu of wheat stripe rust, 3.3 times of the occurrence area; the prevention and control area of scab was 274 million mu times, an increase of 14% over the same period of last year, and the incidence area was 29.27 million mu, a year-on-year decrease of 30%. In addition, the meteorological conditions during the growing period of summer grain this year are generally good, and the light, temperature and water match, especially the effective rainfall at the turning green and filling stages, which is conducive to the growth and development of wheat.
