Affected by the typhoon, there have been heavy rainfall in many places in my country recently, which has adversely affected the growth of vegetables. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs recently issued relevant guidance to ensure stable production and supply of vegetables.
Right now, the seasonal vegetables in Mancun Vegetable Planting Base in Huaxian County, Henan Province are on the market, but the rainfall has had a negative impact on vegetable production and picking.
Gao Jun, Senior Agronomist, Huaxian Agricultural Technology Extension Center, Henan Province: Recently, there has been continuous rainfall, dredging ditches, repairing and strengthening vegetable production facilities and equipment, ensuring timely drainage during heavy rains, and timely harvesting after rains. Replant or replant as soon as possible, and rush to sow fast-growing vegetables.
According to reports, strong wind and rain can cause lodging of vegetables, waterlogging in fields, and induce diseases. While strengthening technical guidance, the local area organized growers to rush to harvest mature vegetables, and actively contacted merchants to open up sales channels.
The reporter learned that the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs recently released the guidelines for vegetables to prevent super typhoons, stating that in response to disasters such as typhoons and heavy rainfall, melons, scaffolding and greenhouses should be strengthened in advance. After the strong wind and rain, for vegetable production bases with light damage and high seedling preservation rate, the plants should be supported in time, combined with disease prevention and spraying of foliar fertilizers to promote growth and improve plant stress resistance, and restore vegetable growth as soon as possible. In addition, fast-growing leafy vegetables should be sown in batches and in stages, and autumn crops of beans, melons and other vegetables should be sown in a timely manner to reduce the impact on the next crop production and ensure stable production and supply of vegetables.
