China News Service, April 19, according to the website of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, currently, wheat in Jianghuai, Huanghuai and other wheat regions have gradually entered the heading and flowering period, which is also the epidemic period of wheat scab susceptibility.
On April 16, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs held a national wheat scab prevention and control meeting in Fuyang City, Anhui Province to analyze and judge the situation and arrange the deployment of prevention and control actions.
The meeting requested that all localities act quickly, resolutely fight the battle of prevention and control, and make every effort to ensure the safety of wheat production.
The meeting concluded that wheat head blight is a climate-type epidemic disease, and the current source of bacteria in the field is sufficient. The precipitation process in April will coincide with the wheat heading and flowering period in the Jianghuai and Huanghuai regions.
Starting from mid-to-late April, the critical period of prevention and control has been entered from south to north, and the task of prevention and control is arduous.
Based on disaster prevention and harvest, all localities should focus on the overall goal of “controlling the epidemic intensity, ensuring yield and quality”, focusing on the critical period of wheat earing and blooming, fully implementing preventive and control measures, and taking timely measures to make up for after the rain in the frequent areas. Strictly prevent the occurrence of disease epidemics, and strive to control the diseased ear rate within 5% and the diseased kernel rate within 2%.
The meeting emphasized that the prevention and control of wheat head blight has tight time, heavy tasks, and high requirements. All localities must earnestly implement the "four reinforcements and four guarantees."
The first is to strengthen mobilization and deployment to ensure that prevention and control responsibilities are in place.
Incorporate prevention and control work into the content of the same responsibility of the party and government for food security, strengthen organization and launch, consolidate prevention and control responsibilities, increase capital investment, and ensure the smooth progress of prevention and control work.
The second is to strengthen monitoring and early warning to ensure that prevention and control guidance is in place.
Accurately grasp the situation of disease occurrence, organize and send capable forces in-depth prevention and control to carry out prevention and control guidance to ensure that the prevention and control technology is implemented in the field.
The third is to strengthen unified prevention and control to ensure that prevention and control effects are in place.
Innovate prevention and control service methods, select high-efficiency chemicals and pesticide application machinery through government purchase of services, vigorously promote unified prevention and control, promote group prevention and management, and promote pesticide reduction.
The fourth is to strengthen supervision and inspection to ensure that prevention and control measures are in place.
Carry out itinerant supervision to check the implementation of prevention and control funds and materials, as well as the safe use of drugs and the progress of prevention and control work, to ensure that prevention and control measures are implemented.
At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the supervision of the pesticide market to ensure that farmers use "reasonable drugs."
It is understood that in addition to the 1 billion yuan of agricultural production relief funds allocated by the central government, the local governments of Anhui, Jiangsu, Henan, Shandong, Hebei, and Hubei have raised 1.59 billion yuan in prevention and control funds, and have implemented prevention and control areas of nearly 30 million mu. .
Currently, prevention and control work in various regions is being carried out in an orderly manner.
