What are the climate changes and farming activities in the canopy season?

Climate change in the awning season: the awning is the ninth solar term among the 24 solar terms, and the third solar term in summer also indicates the official start of midsummer. Its climate change mainly has the following characteristics.

First, precipitation increases in the awning season. Because the rainfall will increase in the awning season, it is prone to natural disasters such as tornadoes, hail and heavy rain. Especially in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, it will enter the rainy season one after another. At this time, there will be more rainy weather, more rainfall, less sunshine and low temperature. There is a poem that describes this situation thoroughly: Merlin overturns nine rivers and stretches the sky. The farmland in grain depot Wu is wet, and the seedlings are cold every year. It can be seen that there is a lot of rain at this time, which will even affect farming.

Second, the seasonal temperature of the canopy will rise. Being busy means entering the midsummer stage, and the sunshine in summer will also increase. The natural temperature will also rise. Therefore, during this period, besides paying attention to the humidity brought by the increase of humidity, we should also pay attention to heatstroke prevention and cooling. Especially at noon, the temperature will be much higher than other times. Avoid direct sunlight and pay attention to increasing or decreasing clothes. After the awning season, the hot summer comes quietly, and the busy schedule is also a very important node for the temperature to rise.

The main farming activities in the heading season include the following contents:

The first is to grab the harvest, including wheat, greedy beans, peas and other crops that mature in summer. Although work is very important, harvesting crops is also very important, because if we miss the best harvesting time, it may cause some unnecessary waste, so farmers are very busy at this time of year. Fortunately, there are some places that can use the help of machinery now, so the pressure on everyone to grab the harvest is reduced.

The second is pest control, such as corn borer and rice weevil. In the awning season, the weather is hot and humid, and many pests and diseases will grow wildly at this time. This time is also an important growth stage of many crops, such as corn needs fertilization, but also to prevent corn stalks from falling, to prevent corn borer and so on. For rice growers, it is even more important to do a good job in the invasion of pests such as rice weevil, Chilo suppressalis and leaf blast. For cotton farmers, it is necessary to control pests such as blind spring elephants and cotton aphids at this time. Therefore, no matter what kind of crops are mainly planted, it is necessary to prevent insects and pesticides in the sunshade season.

Third, do a good job of fertilization to help vegetables and fruits grow better. It is also necessary to fertilize some vegetables and fruits during the heading season, because there are more vegetables and many fruits will bear fruit at this time. After fertilization, they will absorb more nutrients and naturally have a better harvest.

Fourth, do a good job in animal epidemic prevention, especially large-scale farming. The particularity of the awning season will cause the increase of pests and diseases, so it is natural for aquaculture to do a good job of epidemic prevention to avoid cross-infection among animals. Therefore, disinfection and hygiene should be done at this time.
