Chinanews.com, August 26. Pan Wenbo, director of the Planting Management Department of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, pointed out on the 26th that from the current situation, this year's double-cropping rice recovery momentum is obvious. The early rice has already been harvested. As long as the guidance is in the field and the measures are in place, the late rice can achieve a good harvest and successfully complete the goal of resuming double-cropping rice production.

　　The Information Office of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs held a press conference on the 26th to introduce the current situation of grain market operation and production. A reporter asked at the meeting: At the beginning of the year, the State Council’s executive meeting made it clear that it encouraged places where conditions permit to resume double-cropping rice. What is the situation of double-cropping rice production this year? Under the influence of severe flooding in the south, can the recovery goal be achieved?

　　Pan Wenbo introduced that double-cropping rice is the most important ration variety, and double-cropping rice accounts for one-third of the country’s rice area. This year, the central government focused on food security, clearly proposed the restoration of double-cropping rice production, and issued a series of policies to restore double-cropping rice production, which were also promoted at a high level. Judging from the current situation, the recovery momentum of double-cropping rice this year is obvious. The first crop of double-cropping rice is early rice, and early rice has been harvested. The total output of early rice this year reached 54.6 billion jin. The area of ​​early rice has increased by more than 4.5 million mu this year, reversing the downward trend for seven consecutive years. According to perennial yield estimates, the output of rice can be increased by more than 3 billion catties.

　　How about the second late rice of double cropping rice? According to Pan Wenbo, there is a foundation for a bumper harvest of late rice. Compared with previous years, the biggest feature of this year’s late rice production is disaster-resistant and rush to increase the area. Because early rice was harvested and late rice was harvested, due to flood disasters, early rice could not be harvested in time in some areas. Insertion is blocked and progress is slow. All localities intensified their efforts, rushed to harvest and plant, and did everything possible to determine the area of ​​late rice. Organize promptly to rush to drain the stagnant water, so that the water retreats and people enter, drain one piece, insert one piece, harvest one mound, plant one mound. The area of ​​late rice is expected to increase by more than 4 million mu this year, curbing the downward trend for 10 consecutive years. At present, most of the late rice is in the tillering stage, and the growth is generally normal, laying a good foundation for harvesting.

　　Pan Wenbo pointed out that in the next step, we will continue to do a good job in field management of late rice, because late rice is harvested the latest in the entire grain crops, and the latest in the country. The focus is to do a good job of fertilizer and water management and prevent rice. The "two migration" pests of rice planthopper and rice leaf roller. At the same time, late rice should also be protected from cold and dew. When the cold dew and wind come, the ears cannot be picked normally and cannot be safely matured. Therefore, we believe that as long as our guidance and measures are in place, a good harvest of late rice can be achieved and the goal of resuming double-cropping rice production can also be successfully completed.
