Wheat harvest weather in western Henan

Let's just say that there is little rain in March, and spring rain is as expensive as oil, indicating that there is little rain in seasonal climate, and people like to rain more, which is convenient for spring ploughing and spring sowing; In April, this seasonal climate will change gradually, and there will be more rain, while wheat is in the heading and flowering period, and wheat is most afraid of rainy days during this period.

In our local area, the flowering of wheat has not arrived in March, and rain is needed to moisten crops such as peanuts in spring. It usually doesn't rain heavily at this time. Even if it has little effect on wheat and sown crops, people expect more rain.

On the first day of the fourth lunar month, there is a saying in my hometown of southwest Henan, "I am afraid of rain for the first three days, and I am afraid of 16 cloudy for the last three days." On the first day of the fourth lunar month, once it rains, it means that it will rain continuously for the first half of the month. There is a lot of rain during this period, which is very unfavorable for high yield of wheat. This is based on the experience of local climate regularity in previous years. Although the accuracy remains to be discussed, there are certain rules.

On the phone yesterday, my father told me that it had been raining at home recently, which had a negative impact on this year's wheat harvest. During the heading and flowering period of wheat, wheat generally prefers drought to waterlogging.

Too much rain has a negative effect on wheat pollination, and some diseases, such as scab, are prone to occur.

The key problem is that if there is too much rain in this growing period, the wheat straw will easily grow poorly and become soft.

When the soil humidity is too high, the root system of wheat will be affected by water barriers, and the soil will be deprived of oxygen, which is prone to many diseases. Then, when the wheat is mature in the later stage, the roots and straws of the wheat that were affected by rain in the earlier stage are not tough enough. Once the wind blows, it is very easy to lodging, resulting in serious production reduction.

The heading and flowering period of wheat is April-May, and people don't want too much rain.

According to our local climate law, the rainy season generally does not come at this time, and it does not belong to the rainy season. Usually short-term rainfall has little effect on the growth of wheat. But I'm also afraid of the bad weather of continuous rain, which is very unfavorable to the wheat harvest. People are even more worried that there will be a saying that "April is afraid of the first day".

The original intention of the whole sentence is that the people hope that the weather will be good and the grain will be plentiful.
