Will Ningxia sugarcane freeze at 3 degrees Celsius?

Once the temperature falls below 4°C, sugarcane in low-lying areas is prone to frostbite; after the sugarcane is frozen, if the side buds are frozen, reducing sugars that are not easily crystallized will be produced, making it difficult for sugar mills to extract the sugar. , the sugar content will drop by about 1%.

In addition, since most of the roads leading to the sugarcane areas are dirt roads, the roads are curved and narrow, which affects normal transportation. Especially on rainy days, the roads are muddy and difficult to drive. The cut sugarcane cannot be transported into the factory and has to be transported to the factory. Slowly drying up, sugarcane farmers suffered great losses.

"If the rainy weather continues, the damage to sugar cane will worsen. The current focus is to rush to harvest and coordinate the sugar mills to rush to squeeze." Tan Hongwei said that although the sun rose on the 25th, it has been Rainy weather is better for sugarcane cells to repair themselves. "If the weather suddenly warms up, it will cause the greatest damage to the crops."

Since January 21, the Autonomous Region Agriculture Department has dispatched 7 work guidance groups to 14 cities to verify the disaster situation, guide agricultural cold and frost prevention work, and assist the local agricultural department in formulating post-disaster agricultural production recovery measures.

Agricultural departments in various places have also taken active measures. Wangdian Yao Township in Baise actively coordinated with sugar factories to give priority to sugar cane stamps in disaster areas, guided the masses to speed up the progress of cutting and transporting sugar cane through "mutual aid groups", and cleared snow (frost) as soon as possible. ) and repair damaged road sections
