According to People's Daily Online, the latest agricultural progress report from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs indicates that over 80% of the nation's winter wheat has been planted. Major grain-producing regions are seizing the farming season to vigorously advance autumn-winter cropping.
The Huanghuaihai region accounts for approximately 90% of China's wheat output, holding pivotal importance. Persistent rainy weather earlier delayed planting schedules and slowed progress, posing challenges to ensuring winter wheat survives the cold season.
By region, as of November 12: - Henan and Anhui: Nearly 70% planted - Shandong and Shanxi: Over 80% planted - Shaanxi: Over 85% planted - Jiangsu: Over 55% planted
In Henan, repeated heavy rainfall since September has led to excessively saturated soil, hindering agricultural machinery operations and delaying the timely harvest and stubble clearance of autumn crops, thereby affecting wheat land preparation and sowing. Currently, many areas are prioritizing meticulous land preparation and advancing autumn and winter planting by region to ensure the province's wheat acreage remains stable at over 85 million mu (5.67 million hectares).
In Anhui, similarly affected by prolonged rainy weather, all regions and departments have identified over 43 million mu of winter wheat acreage to specific fields in advance. Efforts to deep-tilling and deep-loosening have been intensified to accelerate soil moisture evaporation.
In Shandong, with over 60 million mu of winter wheat generally planted later than usual, local authorities have strengthened post-planting management measures, focusing on cultivating robust seedlings before winter.
Recently, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs launched a 60-day campaign to combat autumn floods, accelerate wheat planting, and promote robust seedling growth. By integrating system resources and deploying experts, 12 technical guidance teams have been dispatched to key provinces' production frontlines. Leveraging expert expertise and emphasizing technical support, the initiative is making every effort to secure wheat acreage and cultivate strong seedlings to ensure safe overwintering.
Additionally, the latest monitoring by the China Agricultural Materials Circulation Association indicates that major fertilizer enterprises are maintaining high production levels, ensuring adequate fertilizer supply for autumn and winter planting.
