　　At the September press conference of the China Meteorological Administration held on the same day, Xue Jianjun, deputy director of the China National Meteorological Center, said that since the beginning of this year, China’s major grain-producing areas have high temperatures, sufficient heat, abundant rainfall, good soil moisture, drought, high temperature, etc. The impact of severe weather on agriculture is generally slight.

However, severe rainstorms and floods occurred in the Yangtze River Basin, and crops were affected by floods.

Western Liaoning suffered a summer drought.

But generally speaking, the weather conditions are more favorable to food production.

　　Autumn grain accounts for three-quarters of China's grain production, and whether the autumn grain can be harvested is related to China's annual grain production.

What are the weather conditions in the later period?

What preventive measures should be taken in food production?

　　Xue Jianjun said that the current period is a critical period for autumn grain production. Judging from the current weather forecast, it is necessary to focus on preventing the impact of typhoons. The impact on the main grain production areas in Northeast China may be relatively large. Farmland can be timely dehumidified and waterlogged. Facility agriculture Take corresponding reinforcement measures to prevent the damage caused by strong winds.

　　He also said that frost in Inner Mongolia and the Northeast region may appear early, and we must strengthen prevention. Recently, the Northeast has more rainfall, and some crops have become greedy and late. Therefore, appropriate heat-increasing fertilizers should be used to promote the full increase of crops.

In addition, there are more rainy weather in West China, and attention needs to be paid to prevent the impact of waterlogging disasters.
