Shandong’s “Three Autumns” production has entered a critical period, with multiple measures taken to ensure autumn grain and autumn planting
What is Shandong relying on to increase and stabilize autumn grain production? Stepping up the promotion of autumn harvest and autumn planting, seizing the farming season to ensure a bountiful harvest
Shandong is currently in a critical stage for grain filling and yield formation in autumn grain, and has also entered an important period for preparing winter wheat sowing. The local agricultural department said it will promote stable grain production and higher income through measures such as maintaining the sown area, increasing perunit yields, and strengthening agricultural technology services.
According to reports, Shandong continued this year to advance yield improvement and seed quality assurance. The integrated promotion area for crops such as corn and soybeans has further expanded, and the seed breeding system is also relatively well developed, able to meet the province's seed demand. In the face of the autumn harvest and autumn sowing tasks, the province has preallocated a large number of agricultural machines, drying equipment, and socialized service resources, and has coordinated with departments including meteorology, transportation, and fuel supply to make emergency preparations.
In production organization, Shandong emphasizes reducing losses in harvesting, storage and transportation, and sowing links, promoting practices such as late harvesting, drying, and comprehensive utilization of crop straw, while expanding the application of integrated waterfertilizer systems. The meteorological department warns that the risk of seasonal drought is relatively high this year, and recommends that local areas seize the favorable weather to advance autumn harvest, field clearing, and sowing, laying a solid foundation for next year's summer grain production.
