Pic Story: measures taken to ensure a bumper harvest of autumn grain

It's a critical period for the heading and jointing of autumn grain at the moment. Preventing high temperature, resisting pests and diseases, and ensuring a bumper harvest of autumn grain have become the primary tasks of the current "three rural" work. In order to cope with the adverse effects of natural conditions on crop growth, many agricultural technicians are organized to go to the countryside to carry out guidance work. In view of the high temperature and drought, pest control and other problems in many places, agricultural technology went deep into the fields to "feel the pulse", taught farmers how to control scientifically, strengthened crop field management, improved grain production capacity, and ensured the increase of autumn grain production and income.
