Impact Of Recent Heavy Rainfall In Yangtze River Valley On Cotton Production

According to the National Meteorological Center, the recent heavy rainfall in the Yangtze River Basin has a certain impact on cotton production.

The Yangtze River Basin

The heavy rainfall caused some farmland to accumulate water.

It is estimated that in the next ten days, the rainfall area will be more extensive and the rain belt location will be unstable. After 14 days, the rainfall area will be lifted to the northern Huaihe basin. On the 15-19 day, there will be an obvious rainfall process in the Huaihe basin. There will be heavy rain in some areas and heavy rain in some areas. Heavy rainfall will mainly occur on 16-17 days.

15-21, the southwest will be mainly rainy weather, rainfall generally has 40-90 millimeters, of which northeast Sichuan, Chongqing rainfall has 100-180 millimeters, local 200-300 mm or so, heavy rainfall will appear on the 15-18 day.

At present, the Yangtze River Basin and the Huaihe River Basin are in the critical period of crop growth and yield formation. It is suggested that the Yangtze River Basin should seize the stage of weakening precipitation and grasp the drainage and drainage. After the end of the precipitation process, we should timely cultivate and fertilize the soil and reduce the adverse effects of water and fertilizer losses.

In order to make up for the losses caused by the disaster, we should replant and replant some of the crop fields.

The cotton area should be pruned and threshing in time to improve the ventilation conditions and reduce the abscission of flower buds.

Huaihe basin should pay attention to drainage and drainage to prevent waterlogging.

All localities should strengthen monitoring and control of diseases and insect pests.
