Since the beginning of summer, due to the continuous drought and lack of rainfall, some crops have been affected by drought to varying degrees. In order to effectively cope with the drought, Nanyuan Village in Hequ County opened the floodgates to release water to "quench the thirst" of crops in a timely manner, minimize agricultural losses, ensure grain production, and go all out to fight the active battle of drought prevention and control.
The reporter saw a water outlet along the field in Nanyuan Village, Hequ County, where streams of water flowed into the field from the channel, moistening every seedling. Since there has been no rain some time ago, the corn leaves have been rolled, and the village has started the farmland irrigation facilities in time, and the farmers are busy waiting for water to be released at the edge of their fields, carefully guarding every inch of land to ensure that every crop can be moistened with sufficient water.
Grower Zhang Linlin told reporters that he got up at 3 o'clock in the morning to water the field, the temperature is low at night, the humidity is high, the soil after watering can better absorb and retain water, each acre of land needs to be watered for two hours to water the land thoroughly, so that the crops "drink full of water".
At present, it is in the critical period of corn crop growth, through irrigation, effectively replenishing soil moisture, the original rolled corn leaves gradually stretched out to restore their former vitality, and the green leaves swayed in the wind in the sun.
"In order to resist the continuous high temperature in summer, we have to water every 10 days, and we irrigate six to seven times every summer," said Zhang Linlin, a farmer. ”
At present, the agricultural meteorological department of Hequ County is paying close attention to weather changes, seriously analyzing the development trend of drought, strengthening monitoring and early warning of drought and moisture, and the drought-fighting work in various townships and towns is proceeding in an orderly manner.
