In order to focus on improving the yield level of grain and important agricultural products, Jiangsu has recently introduced the "Implementation Plan for Large Area Yield Improvement of Major Grain and Oil Crops in Jiangsu Province", continuously enhancing the stable and safe supply capacity of grain and important agricultural products. The Implementation Plan focuses on major grain and oil crops such as rice and wheat, soybean and corn, and rapeseed. It proposes to carry out in-depth actions to increase yield per unit area, integrate production factors such as land, varieties, fertilizers, pesticides, agricultural machinery, and field management, strengthen scientific and technological innovation, policy support, and collaborative research, and drive large-scale yield increase and balanced yield increase. Focusing on key elements such as improved varieties, methods, and opportunities, the "Implementation Plan" specifies the acceleration of variety selection and promotion, guiding the direction of variety research and development to match the demand for high yield and efficiency, selecting and promoting a batch of varieties with high yield potential, high yield resistance, stable yield and easy planting, and improving the supply guarantee ability of improved varieties. Various regions will organize grain and oil production and operation entities and farmers to cultivate high-quality farmers and improve their technical skills. In addition, the Implementation Plan also proposes to accelerate the research and development of agricultural machinery, promote the application of laser (satellite) leveling, rice blanket (bowl) seedling planting, and other agricultural machinery equipment for covering cultivation, planting, management, and harvesting production processes. Strive to achieve an annual increase of 1-2 percentage points in soybean yield, 1 percentage point in wheat and corn yield, and 0.2 0.5 percentage points in rice and rapeseed yield through full factor integration and hierarchical implementation. By 2030, the average yield of major grain and oil crops in the province will increase by about 5%. The source of the news is Jiangsu Radio and Television General Taiwan Rong Media News Center

According to the latest meteorological information, it is expected that there will be heavy rainfall and strong winds in our province from the 27th to the 28th. From the afternoon to the night of the 27th, there was heavy rain in the north of the Yangtze River, including rainstorm and heavy rainstorm in some areas. Heavy rain and partial rainstorm along Huaihe River and north Huaihe River on the 28th; Moderate to heavy rain and local rainstorm in other areas. During the rainfall period, there may be strong convective weather such as short-term heavy rainfall and 8-10 level thunderstorms in some areas, with a maximum hourly rainfall intensity of 30-60 millimeters and a local rainfall intensity of around 80 millimeters. The maximum onshore wind force in the area north of the Yangtze River is around 8 levels; The maximum wind speed in the Yancheng and Lianyungang sea areas is 9-10 degrees, while in the rivers, lakes, reservoirs, and Nantong sea areas it is around 8 degrees. The path of Typhoon "Sula", the 9th typhoon of this year, is uncertain in its later stages and may have wind and rain impacts on our province. The Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs reminds all regions to attach great importance to the potential adverse effects of heavy rainfall and thunderstorms on agricultural production. We will quickly implement various flood prevention and disaster relief measures, strive to reduce disaster losses, and resolutely win the battle of disaster prevention and reduction to achieve a bumper harvest. 1、 We attach great importance to the prevention of heavy rainfall and typhoons. Currently, this is a critical period for autumn grain production in our province, as well as an important period for animal husbandry and fishery production. The heavy rainfall and strong winds caused by strong convection and typhoons may cause crop collapse, damage to agricultural facilities, flooding, and other adverse effects on autumn grain production such as rice, horticulture, animal husbandry, and fisheries. Each region should focus on disaster resistance and harvest, clarify responsibilities, implement various defense measures, ensure that responsibilities are assigned to individuals and measures are in place, and make every effort to ensure the safety of agricultural production such as autumn grain. 2、 Quickly implementing preventive and response measures, all regions should take active action, strengthen communication and consultation with meteorological, emergency, water conservancy and other departments, strengthen research and early warning, actively plan for response, and firmly grasp the initiative of disaster prevention and reduction. In terms of crop production, rice fields should be cleaned and dredged in a timely manner, with early drainage to cool the fields and rapid drainage and waterlogging after rain. Strengthen the greenhouse membrane infrastructure of horticultural facilities in advance, accelerate the harvesting of mature seasonal fruits and vegetables, and timely support and reinforce fallen plants such as soybeans and corn. After rain, according to the growth of the seedlings, timely check and supplement fertilizer, carry out "one spray multiple promotion" in a timely manner, apply an appropriate amount of quick acting fertilizer, spray foliar fertilizer, growth regulators, fungicides and insecticides, cultivate roots and leaves, prevent diseases and pests, and promote recovery and growth. Timely loosen the soil and ventilate the flooded garden to prevent soil compaction, and timely ventilate and reduce humidity in the greenhouse. In terms of animal husbandry production, it is necessary to guide farmers to inspect the safety of livestock and poultry pens, dredge drainage systems, reinforce maintenance pens and surrounding facilities, strengthen disinfection and source control of pen environments, prevent production safety accidents, and prevent the occurrence of animal diseases. In terms of fishery production, it is necessary to guide the maintenance and reinforcement of water circuits, embankments, ponds, and breeding greenhouses, strengthen morning and evening inspections, maintain appropriate water levels, and ensure the normal operation of facilities; Pay attention to observation and timely drainage to prevent the escape of breeding objects, prevent hypoxia at the bottom of the pool, and strengthen disease prevention and control. Marine and lake aquaculture production should strengthen safety production management in stormy weather and take measures to prevent wind and waves. In terms of marine fishing vessels, it is necessary to strengthen the control of aquaculture fishing vessels, specialized fishing vessels for four types of operations, and licensed fishing vessels for "sand jellyfish", transfer fishing vessels, and fishing vessels from other provinces to our province, and track and grasp the dynamics. Strengthen safety management such as wind and fire prevention inspections in fishing ports, mooring and securing fishing vessels in the port, and prepare for emergency response. 3、 To effectively strengthen defense guidance services, it is necessary to organize the formulation of disaster prevention and reduction technical guidance opinions based on the characteristics of agricultural production and disaster occurrence. Timely dispatch a working group to guide and enter villages and households, supervise the implementation of disaster prevention and reduction measures, and help solve practical difficulties. Organize an expert group and a technology team to conduct in-depth production, package and tour guidance, investigate and evaluate the disaster situation, and improve the delivery rate of key technologies. We need to strengthen duty keeping, strictly implement the leadership leadership and duty keeping system, timely, accurately and efficiently submit information on dangerous situations and flood prevention and disaster relief work, and report any sudden danger or disaster as soon as possible.
