What beneficial effects will the cold wave bring?

Cold wave is the guarantee of good weather. China is affected by monsoon, and the winter climate is dry, which is a dry season. However, whenever the cold wave invades the south, it will often bring a wide range of rain and snow weather, alleviate the winter drought and benefit crops. Why can the agricultural proverb "Xue Ruizhao has a good year" be circulated among the people for generations? This is because snow water has a high nitrogen content, which is more than five times that of ordinary water, and can greatly increase the nitrogen in the soil. Snow water can also accelerate the decomposition of soil organic matter, thus increasing the organic fertilizer in the soil. The heavy snow covered the overwintering crops and played the role of a quilt, keeping out the cold and keeping warm.

There is a saying that "winter is not cold, and the coming year is not abundant", which also has its scientific truth. Experts in crop pest control believe that the low temperature brought by the cold wave is the most effective natural "insecticide" at present, which can kill a large number of pests and germs lurking in the soil for the winter, or inhibit their reproduction and reduce pests and diseases in the coming year. According to the survey data of agricultural technology stations around the country, pesticides can be saved by more than 60% in the year of heavy snow and winter closure.

Cold waves can also bring wind resources. Scientists believe that wind is a valuable energy source without pollution. The power generation efficiency of the world-famous Miyakojima wind power station during the cold wave is 1.5 times that of the usual one.
