"I don't think the tillering rate and growth of this wheat seedling are very good. Let's see how we should manage it." "This situation is due to the cold weather early this year and the lack of accumulated temperature, and also due to the lack of rain this year. The management in early spring next year will upgrade the situation of seedlings and will not affect the yield of summer grain." On the early morning of November 24, Wang Yanhua, senior agronomist of the agricultural and rural Bureau of Wucheng County, Dezhou City, Shandong Province, came to the 2000 mu wheat plot of Weimin grain and cotton planting professional cooperative to give technical guidance to Li Qingshuang, chairman of the cooperative, on winter wheat.

Seedling stage is the key period of wheat growth, only do a good job before and after the winter management, can ensure the high yield and quality of wheat, and at this time the agronomic experts on-site guidance is particularly important for grain farmers. "According to this year's rainfall and temperature, there are two characteristics of the seedlings in our county. One is that the sowing is relatively late, about 7 days to 10 days later than in previous years. The other is that the early stage is relatively dry. The sowing date is delayed due to early soil moisture sowing, and the formed seedlings are weaker than in previous years, with less tillers and less secondary roots. Now they have not reached the standard of strong seedlings." Wang Yanhua.

Li Qingshuang's cooperative harvested 774.94 kg of new wheat varieties per mu in 2020, setting a new high-yield record in Dezhou City. It is precisely because of the high yield of wheat last year that Li Qingshuang has the confidence to continue planting new varieties this year. "This year, we have introduced three new varieties. We have made our own experiments first, and then popularized them to the surrounding farmers." Li Qingshuang said.

However, at present, the wheat seedling stage is still weak, which makes Li Qingshuang worried. "In terms of management, we should pay attention to the transformation from coarse to weak, and suppress it. If we can water it, we can water it for the winter, but if we have good soil moisture, we can not. In early spring, we should strengthen management, promote the growth of the seedlings and upgrade their situation, so as to lay the foundation for a bumper harvest of summer grain. " After hearing Wang Yanhua's introduction, Li Qingshuang put down his heart and said, "although this year's seedling stage is worse than previous years, after consulting experts, good scientific management will not affect the yield of wheat. I believe next year will be a good harvest year." Li Qingshuang said.

In order to ensure the safety of 650000 Mu wheat overwintering in Wucheng County, the Bureau of agriculture and rural areas of Wucheng county has established eight technical teams, combined with the agricultural service technicians of eight towns and streets in the county, went deep into the field, scientifically guided farmers to do a good job in winter field management, and ensured the safety of wheat overwintering. At the same time, according to the weather changes, Wucheng County agricultural and rural Bureau regularly issued guidance on wheat sowing through wechat group at any time.

Nowadays, the sown area and yield of grain in Wucheng county have increased steadily, and the total planting area of corn and other grain crops, including wheat, has reached more than 1.3 million mu. To escort grain production, Wucheng county has also formed a guarantee service system of the whole process of farming, planting and management.

"In order to ensure the safety of food production, in 2020, the county finance will invest 3 million yuan to provide unified subsidies for winter wheat planting, increase the guidance of agricultural technicians to go to the countryside, provide technical guidance from farming, planting and management, and purchase 10 tons of drugs in advance for the prevention and control of winter wheat diseases and pests. So far, 572000 mu of high standard farmland construction has been completed in our county, and the mechanized operation rate of main crops has reached more than 99%, which has laid a good foundation for ensuring the wheat harvest in 2021. " Dong Jun, director of the agricultural and rural Bureau of Wucheng County, was introduced.
