China News Service, July 14. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs held a press conference on the production situation of the "Three Summers" in 2022 on the 14th. Pan Wenbo, director of the Plantation Management Department of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, introduced at the meeting that this morning, the National Statistics The bureau announced this year's summer grain output, reaching 294.78 billion catties, an increase of 2.87 billion catties over the previous year.

It is not easy to increase the yield and bumper harvest of summer grain wheat this year. It is a bumper harvest after a rare autumn flood. It is an exciting and encouraging increase in production at a historically high level.

Comprehensive analysis, this year's summer grain production has several characteristics:

  First, the area of ​​summer grain has increased steadily.

Summer grains mainly include winter wheat, summer harvested spring wheat, miscellaneous grains and miscellaneous beans, etc.

This year's summer grain area reached 398 million mu, an increase of 1.38 million mu compared with the previous year. Among them, the winter wheat area decreased by 1.01 million mu due to the rare autumn flood last year. However, the Northwest and other places did everything possible to expand the summer harvest and spring wheat planting by 1.77 million mu, an increase of 23%, realizing the "spring harvest". Make up for winter".

In the southern region, according to local conditions, 620,000 mu of miscellaneous grains and beans such as broad beans and potatoes have been expanded, realizing the "supplement of wheat with miscellaneous crops".

Taken together, the area of ​​summer grain has increased rather than decreased, which is the basis for the increase in summer grain production.

  Second, the summer grain yield increased more than expected.

This year's summer grain yield per mu reached 370.4 kg, an increase of 2.3 kg over the previous year, of which the per-mu yield of wheat was 394.2 kg, an increase of 2.9 kg.

This is a new high on the basis of the three-year increase in summer grain yield per unit.

Especially last year, 110 million mu of winter wheat was sown late for more than half a month, and the seedlings were weak before winter. Combination of punches, the condition of wheat seedlings is the same every day, the weather conditions after "Lixia" are good, the measures such as "one spray and three defenses" have been implemented, the grain filling time is long, the weight of wheat grains has increased significantly, the effect of disease prevention and pest control is good, and the loss is greatly reduced. The yield per unit of winter wheat has not declined, but has increased. The key technologies we have adopted to stabilize and increase yields have good effects and great effects. Many grassroots comrades, including some journalists who have been interviewing on the front line for a long time, have not thought of it.

The increase in summer grain yield contributed to 64% of the increase in production. This is due to the factors that help from God and the result of people’s efforts. It is the key to increasing the yield of summer grain and wheat this year, and it also fully confirms the truth that God rewards hard work.

  The third is the outstanding contribution of summer harvest and spring wheat.

The summer harvest of spring wheat is also an important part of the summer grain.

This year, Xinjiang reduced cotton and other crops in the sub-yi districts and expanded the planting of spring wheat by more than 600,000 mu, Gansu re-cultivated abandoned land to expand spring wheat by more than 400,000 mu, and Ningxia adjusted the crop structure and expanded spring wheat by more than 300,000 mu.

According to the Bureau of Statistics, the area of ​​spring wheat harvested in summer this year reached 9.62 million mu, an increase of 1.77 million mu and an increase of 1.23 billion catties, contributing 43% to the increase in summer grain production.

  Fourth, most of the main producing provinces increased production.

We have 11 major winter wheat-producing provinces. These 11 provinces did everything possible to fight floods and rush to plant to stabilize the area, and took various measures to promote the weak and strong to make up for the previous impact. In the end, 8 provinces increased production and 3 provinces had flat production. .

In particular, the output of Hebei, Shanxi, Shandong, Henan, and Shaanxi provinces, which were greatly affected by the autumn flood, was better than expected.

The provinces with more increase in summer grain production are Anhui, Jiangsu, Xinjiang, Gansu, Hubei, Ningxia, Sichuan and Zhejiang.

  Fifth, the quality of wheat was significantly better than the previous year.

This year, the weather during the grain-filling period of wheat continued to be fine and good, the grain-filling time was long, the grain was plump and compact, and the test weight was high. This year, the wheat stripe rust and scab disease control effect was good, the harvesting and drying were timely, the wheat quality was good, and the imperfect rate and mildew rate were low. , the quality is the best in recent years.

According to the monitoring by the State Administration of Grain and Material Reserves, more than 90% of the wheat is second-class or above in the main producing areas.

According to the market demand, all regions vigorously develop strong gluten wheat and weak gluten wheat. According to agricultural conditions, the proportion of high-quality special wheat in the country has reached 38.5%, an increase of 1.2 percentage points over the previous year.

  Pan Wenbo said that spring fights for the sun and summer fights for the time.

In addition to summer harvest, "Sanxia" production also includes summer seeds and summer tubes.

At present, more than 30% of the early rice has been harvested in the south, and the double-cropping late rice has been planted and is expected to end in early August.

In general, this year's autumn grain area has increased steadily, and the growth trend is generally normal. There is a good foundation for a bumper harvest.

  Pan Wenbo also said that in the next step, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs will guide all localities to fight against disasters and achieve a bumper harvest, fight for seven or eighty-nine, and fight for another 100 days, vigorously and orderly promote summer field management, and implement measures for disaster prevention and mitigation, disease prevention and pest control, and make every effort to use Go to seize the autumn grain harvest and ensure that the annual grain output remains above 1.3 trillion catties!
